Tides.
A NOVEL THEORY CONCERNING THEM-PROFEs
4.. SoR EEWCOMB'S IDEA. .s.i,E't

A NOVEL THEORY CONCERNING THEM-PROFEs-
ii. .., - SoR NEWCOMERS IDEA. :...i,l-a
In bis admirable work on Popular Astron-
omv, Professor Simon Newoomb gave a
somewhat novel answer to the question,
why there are two tides a.day. Represent
ing diagram e as the centre OF the earth,
NJ the moon, q the centre of gravity of the
two bodies "a point within the earth about
three fourths OF The earth's radius from the
centre towards the NOON, G the roint OF the
earth's surface directly under the moon, and
D The corresponding point on the other side
of the earth, the Professor explained that
tidal-waye would be caused at e by the
attraction OF the moon and the small CEN
trifugal force around G, and that at d,
where the centrifugal force was greater
thafrthe moons attraction, the waters would
be thrown out and form another tidal-WaVe,
the-whoIe action thus making two tides to
each apparent daily revolution OF the earth.
This explanation was questioned by Mr..
Arnold in a lecture published in the Boston
| Science Observer for October last. Mr.. Ar
mold claimed that this motion Of the earth
around the common centre Of gravity OF
| the earth and moon, while true, is
one Of, transition simply, and not d
motion Of rotation, as would be in.
| ferred from. Professor Newcomb's eXplana-
ton; that the centrifugal force is not great
est at the point D and least at G., and that
therefore it cannot produce the tide on the
side opposite to the moon. Professor New.
comb very handsomely acknowledges his
error. ssI see,'' he says, in the November
number OF the Science Observer, ",that Mr.
Arnold's structures are well taken, and
that the modification he proposes is, in
principle at least, entirely sound. The cor
rect and rigorous translation Of the expires
sions for this force from the language Of ths
calculus into that Of the yernacular does
not seem possible, but suppose / was
near enough right to give correct genera
idea OF the reason why there are two tides
day. now see that the task is more dif
4 feult one than supposed, and one whict
REQUIRES good deal Of close attention iron
the reader.e To the question whether thi
common ex PLANTATION OF the tides given II
the textbooks should be abandoned, MIR
| Arnold replies =" Not necessarily" Thel
look at the subject from a point OF view
different from that taken by Professor New
comb and others. bnt reach the same resnl
| By valid chain Of reasoning.

barrel OF whiskey, fifteen tierces OF lard,
several packages OF oil-cloth coats, and other
