Fires have been particularly frequent of late is
the department of the Isere. A large farm at Passag
near Virieu, was reduced to ashes two nights back. The
flames spread with such rapidity that the farmer had WO
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 PhilosophicaLliagazine
contains a curious essay by Dr. J. It. Mayer, of Heilbronn,
on" Celestial Dynamics," in which amongst other things the
author proves that the tidal wave causes a diminution i°
the velocity of the earth's rotation. His arguments nieY
be summed up as follows :—The attraction of the sun end
moon is the cause 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 ref
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 vis viva. Practically, however, the
friction experienced by the waters retards their motion, s°
that the flow of the tidal wave is delayed, and high wats,r
~
occurs in the open sea two hours and a half after the trivial'
of the moon across the meridian of the spot. Hence the
more elevated wave is always to the east of the rac'ell
meridian, and the sea must therefore press and flow recr''
powerfully from east to west than from west to east. 1118
ebb and flow of the tidal wave, therefore, consists not oli
in an alternate rising and falling of the waters, but in o
slow progressive motion from east to west; in other words;
&generally westerly current is produced in the ocean.
the earth rotates from west to east, since the sun sets in t'
west; and therefore it turns in a contrary sense to tlisf
direction of that current. The earth here plays the pert °{4
a flywheel, the moveable part of its surface adhering, as
were, to the relatively fixed moon, and being dragged lila
direction opposite to that of the earth's rotation, in cons
queue° of which action takes place between the solid e'
liquid parts of this flywheel, resistance is overcome, end the
,5
rotatory effect diminished. To make this clearer, supP°'et,
ball to revolve in a socket coated with some glutinous tass
ter; its rotation will evidently be impeded by the glutinc"o
particles it has to draw after it; and, in the problem befro
us. the glutinous matter is replaced by a force of attract'°
acting in a contrary sense to the rotatory motion.
