Fires have been particularly frequent of late in
the department of the Isere. A large farm at Passog
near Virieu, was reduced to ashes two nights back. Tut'
flames spread with such rapidity that the farmer had smile
difficulty in escaping with his family. A considerable por-
tion of the year's harvest was destroyed, and several head
of cattle, a kid, and a number of sheep perished.
THE TIDAL WAVE.—The Philosophical ilkgazine
contains a curious essay by Dr. J. 11. Mayer, of Heilbroun,
on" Celestial Dynamics," in which amongst other things the
author proves that the tidal wave causes a diminution in
the velocity of the earth's rotation. His arguments full
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 wet with no re-
sistance, such as friction, the elevated parts of the tidal
wave would exactly coincide with the moon's meridian, and
there would be loss of vie viva. Practically, however, the
friction experienced by the waters retards their motion, se
that the flow of the tidal wave is delayed, avd high water
occurs in the open sea two hours and a half afor the transit
of the moon across the meridian of the spot. Hence the
more elevated wave is always to the east of the nieon'4
meridian, and the sea must therefore press and flo more
powerfully from east to west than from west to east. The
ebb and flow of the tidal wave, therefore, consists not Dull
in an alternate rising and falling of the waters, but in a
slow progressive motion from east to west ; in other word':
a generally westerly current is produced in the ocean. l3u
the earth rotates from west to east, since the sun sets in 01'3
west; and therefore it turns in a contrary sense to the
direction of that current. The earth here plays the part of
a flywheel, the moveable part of its surface adhering, es
were, to the relatively fixed moon, and being dragged in a
direction opposite to that of the earth's rotation, in conse-
quence of which action takes place between the solid and
liquid parts of this flywheel, resistance is overcome, and eh°
rotatory effect diminished. To make this clearer, suppose
ball to revolve in a socket coated with some glutinous mat-
ter; its rotation will evidently be impeded by the glutinous
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.
