The phenomena have in all ages. excl.
ted curiosity. Various remarkable thee
rica have been advanced regarding tn.
tides. Many Of these arc so truly aLsur.,
tina. it il hardly worth while to refer to
them. Persons fnd it difficult to under
stand why thc tides arc higher a. one time
than another. aud why they rise to the
heigh, Of sixty in the Bay Of Fun.ly; for

in height a, New York aud other places.
while they are scarcely prrccltiilc in 'h.
Baltic and other seas. Descartes was the
irss philosopher who advanced the theory
that tho tides were due to the influence of
the moon, but Newton was the first that
worked out the problem and discovered
the true cause. Dc.cart:s believed that
the moon acted On the waters Of the ocean
by pressure; Newton dc monstratcd that
i, acted on the ocean by attraction: that
instead Of presenting the waters. it rolled
them up directly under il. and also at it,
antipodrs at the same, thus producing the
two tides every day. The tides are at
fractions Of both the sun and the moon.--
II the earth had no moon, the attraction
"f the sun would produce two tides every
day. hu, their ebb and Cow would take
place at the same hour regularly. not va
rying as they do now: these tides would
also be much smaller than those Of the
moon. Although the mass of the sun iS
far greater than that Of the moon. and
though attraction is in proportion to the
mass. yet it is also in vers-ly as the square
of the distance. As the sun, therefore. i.
four hundred times more distant than the
moon; the attraction Of the waters Of the
sea towards the sun is found to be about
three tunes less than thnse Of the moon.
the tides produced BY the san would b.
