The phenomenon Of the tides has only
been recently attributed 10 the moon. hut
the theory OF ths tide on the side of thu
earth opposite the moon has never yet
been satisfactorily explained. Professor
Sullivan, with other eeographers, explains
il as owing TO the body Of the earth being
drawn away by the attraction Of the noon
leaving the water behind rs tide. But
young Canadian author. Mr.. l. 4. Wig
gins, now chims the honor Of having
discovered the true theory. as appears
from recent article in the Picton Times.
After showing the futlity OF the idea
that the earth is drawn toward tho moor
by such a small body, which, however. 10
never approaches, he gives the following
explanation "0n looking at map of the
world, il will be seen that two great ridges
of land, on nearly opposite sides Of the
earth, formed by the great continents, in
tersect the watery world, from North TO
South. Now, the moon passing trans
versely over these in her western course,
owing to the rotatory motion Of the earth
toward the east, creates tidal wnvc In the
Atlantic, extending along the meridian OF
Western Africa and Europe. This follows
the moon westward, but can continue no
further than the coast Of the New World.
II ere. from the resistance Il receives, aud
its tendency to seek an equilibrium, IL II
reflected back and is recrossing the AZ.
lantic by the time the moon has originated
q similar wave on the opposite side Of the
earth in the Pacific"
This, he thinks, is plainly proved Wy the
fact that, as has long been a source of mars
vel, the tidee never appear but once every
twenty.four hours South Of Cape Horn;
or the Care of Good Hope. owing, he
opiues, to the continents not extending far
enough South to reflect tho tidal wave.
All this seems plausible, when il is con-
sidcred that in the nid.ocean the tides
never rise higher than five feet, and that
they are always later on the eastern coast
of Great Britain than ou the western,
shlch all admit to result froth tho notion
of tho tidal wave toward the East.-lro'
ronto Leader.
