THE EARTH's lNTERIoR.-Thei report of
the tidal committee OF the British association,
read at its annual meeting. contained an in
teresting passage with regard to the degree of
elastic Welding which the solid earth expert
ences under the tide generating influences of
the sun and moon. 1t is quite certain that
the solid earth does yield to some degree. 1t
has long since been favorite assumption of
biologists that the earth consists of a shell of
solid rock from 20 to 80 miles in thickness, in
closing an interior filled with melted materi-
al, lava, metals, etc. This hypothesis is now
show to be absolutely untenantable, because,
if it were true, the sold crust would yield with
almost as much freedom Ton account of its
thinness and great erea) as il it were perfectly
LIQUID. Thus the boundary OF the solid earth
would rise and fall under the tide generating
influences, so as to leave no sensible difference
to be marked by the water rising and falling
relatively to the sold; showing that il the
earth as whole had an average degree OF
rgdity equal to that of glass, the tides would
| be very much diminished from the magnitude
| which they would possess on perfectly rigid
globe, with water like that of our seas upon ii.
! This considerations the committee reports,
| m.kos il probable that the earth has COLI
siderably ;Saore average ristdity than gIope1
of GLASS ot the --ame size. The mathematicai
calculation shows somewhat staru,ns resuas'
to the eec that globe OF glass o. tue Of the
size as the earth, if througho, Sos;Isr scale,
same rigiaity as glass on a sI. IN the
| would yield like an India rubber ban -,
| tide-generating influences, thus leaving W.
| little opportunity for change i'll the relative
| nights OF water and land. The precise agree
ment of the actual tidal movement with esti-
| mates founded on the suppositino of a per-
| fectly rigid globe, renders it probable that
the earth is in reality vastly more rigid as a
whole than any specimens of surface rock that
had been experimental upon in laboratories.
| DIR. Soule, ten years ago, in speaking on this
| subject, had suggested that probably the
great pressure in the interior produced in the
material, which might be OF the same sub
| stance as surface rocks, a greatly increased
| rieidity in positions az great depths below the
| SUI face. Now that observations from so low
| a latitude as that of Cat island are available
| for compariso nwith those of the tides of our
| own coasts, the committee believes it NAV
| advance hopefully TO this part of the inquiry,
which, accordingly, it proposes to make pri-
mary object in the calculations next to be un-
| dertaken. London Times.
