		The answer is, simply: a way of seeing one kind of
	physics (electricity and magnetism) in terms of another kind
	of physics (fluid flow).  Analogies of this sort are helpful
	when they illuminate one or both kinds.  In the nineteenth
	century, many physicists, including Maxwell, tried out
	different kinds of mechanical analogies for electromagnetism.
	For details, see E. T. Whittaker, A History of Theories of the
	Aether and Electricity.  
		I agree that Eric should get more specific and precise
	mathematical content into his analogy.  Whittaker will show
	him how it's done.
	Regards,
	Chris
