Do Mountains Creep?
Geodetic observations In the Hima¬ layan mountains have led to a belief that those great mountains, the mighti¬ est on the globe, are constantly mov¬ ing sidewlse toward the south, with a consequent crumbling of the Slwalix hills. It lias been long known that there exists curious anomalies In the density of the earth under theso monn- tnlns and In the vicinity which would seera to verify the creeping theory, bmt It is difflcult If not impossible to make accurate observations as access to tlie Thibetan country Is f'orbldden to foreigners, even those who would like to visit the country purely In tbs cause of science.
