WHY TIDES OCCUR LATER EACH DAT.


As the moon revolyes around the earth from
west to east, says Prof. Randolph, she advanc-
es eastwardly in her orbit about thirteen de-
grees every twenty-four hours Hence, when
any part Of the earth. in its revelation, comes
under a part Of the heavens where the moon
was the evening before, the moon is not there,
but has gone eastward thirteen degrees, and
therefore the earth must turn on its axis al
much longer as is necessary to bring that part
again under the moon, which requires gener-
ally, not always, about fifty minutes.
The same thing occurs the next evening,
and the evening after, and thus the moon ris-
es, most of the year, about fifty minutes later
each day. Now as the tides are produced
mainly by the moon, it will at once be seen
from this eastward movement and this later
rising each day, why they must occur about
fifty minutes later each succeeding day. While
the lunar tide is thus daily tagging, the solar
tide always occurs at the same time. Hence
these two tides always begin to separate after
new moon, being further apart each day until
they again coincide at full moon, when there
is, as already stated, higher tide than usual,
called spring tide. Then again they separate
until new moon occurs, when they once more
unite, producing another spring tide.
1t must not be supposed that the whole
body of the ocean, to its profoundest depths,
is equally moved by the tides. The tides
ale mainly superficial, and except where the
water is of moderate depth, the lowest parts
are only slightly disturbed but to what depth
the tidal current extends can never, perhaps,
be satisfactorily determined. The gulf stream
is abont three thousand feet deep, having for
its bottom bed of colder water Of various
depths but as this stream is the result OF
other causes than those that produce the tides
it is not safe to estimate the depth Of the It'd.
al currents by its own.

MISCELLANY
EXPANDING THE CHEST.

Take a strong rope and fasten it to beam
a stick three feet long, convenient to grasp
with the hands. The rope should be fasten-
ed to the centre Of the stick, which should
hang six or eight inches above the head. Let
person grasp this stick with the hands two
or three feet apart, and swing very moderate
ly at first-perhaps only bear the weight, if
very woak--and gradually increase, as the
muscles gain strength from the exercise, until
it may be used from three to five times daily.
Tho connection of the arms with the body,
with the exception of the clavicle with the
breast-on being a muscular attachment to
tho ribs the effect of this exercise is to ele-
vate the ribs, and enlarge the chest and as
Nature allows no vacuum, the lungs expand
to fill the cavity, increasing the volume Of air,
the natural purifier of blood, and preventing
the congestion or the deposit Of tuberculous
matter. -
We have prescribed the above for all cases
of hemorrhage of the lungs, and threatened
consumption of thirty-ive years, and have
been able to increase the measure of the chest
from two to four inches within a few months,
and with good results. But especially as a
preventative VIC would recommend the exer-
cise.- Let those who love to live cultivate
well-formed capacious chest. The student,
the merchant, the sedentary, the young Of
both sexes-ay, all--should have swing on
which to stretch themselves daily.
We are certain that if this were to be prac-
ticed by the rising generation ina dress allow
ing free and full development of the body,
many would be saved from consumption In
dependently of its beneficial results, the exer-
else isan exceedingly pleasant one, and as the
apparatus costs very little, there need be no
difficulty about any one enjoying 1t who wish
es to.
