Fires have been particularly frequent of late in
the department of the Isere. A large farm at Pas:sage,
near Virieu, was reduced to ashes two nights back. the
flames spread with such rapidity that the farmer bad some
difficulty in escaping with his family. A considerable por'
tion of the year's harvest was destroyed, and several bead,
of cattle, a kid, and a number of sheep perished.

THE TIDAL WAVE.—The Philosophical Magazine
contains a curious essay by Dr. J. it. Mayer, of lieiioroutif
on "Celestial Dynamics," in which amongst other t flings the
author proves that the tidal wave causes a diminution in
the velocity of the earth's rotation. His arguments may
be summed up as follows :—The attraction of the sun and
moon is the cau,o of the tides; that is, the waters of the
sea are drawn towards the meridian above and below which
the moon culminates. Now, if the waters met with no re:
sistance, such as friction, the elevated parts of the tidal
wave would exactly coincide with the moon's meridian, 04
there would be loss of vis viva. Practically, however, the
friction experienced by the waters retards their motion, scP
that the flow of the tidal wave is delayed, and high
wate!
occurs in the open sea two hours and a half after the transiV
of the moon across the meridian of the spot. Hence the
more elevated wave is always to the east of the moon
meridian, and the sea must therefore pre€s and flow more
powerfully from east to west than from west to east. 911°
ebb and flow of the tidal wave, therefore, consists not 011
in an alternate rising and falling of the waters, but in aslow progressive motion from east to west ; in other word;
a generally westerly current is produced in the ocean. 1311,..
the earth rotates from west to east, since the sun sets in
west; and therefore it turns in a contrary sense to tbof
direction of that current. The earth here plays the part ;
a flywheel, the moveable part of its surface adhering, a°
were, to the relatively fixed moon, and being dragged in II
direction opposite to that of the earth's rotation, in 0136;
quence of which action takes place between the solid an
liquid parts of this flywheel, resistance is overcome, and the
rotatory effect diminished. To make this clearer, suppose'
ball to revolve in a socket coated with some glutinous ri33fr
ter; its rotation will evidently be impeded by the glutinoo
particles it has to draw after it; and, in the problem before
us, the glutinous matter is replaced by a force of attraction
acting in a contrary sense to the rotatory motion.
