TIE CHANGE IN THE DAYS LENGTH. o.
The change in the The length of the
day must involve Il corresponding change
IN the motion Of the moon. If the moon
acts Oh the earth and .rctards thesrota-
tion. of the earth, 50 conversly, docs the
earth act upon the moon. The earth Is
torincntcd by the moon, so II Strives to
drive away its prosecutor. At present
the moon revOlves round the earth at Il
distance of about 2i0, 900 miles. The
reaction Of the earth tenla to Increase
that distance, and to force The moon to
rcvolvc IN an orbit which is continually
getting larger aud larger. Asthousands
OF years roll on, the length of the day
Increases By seconds, and the distance of
the moon increases mile by mile. A
, million years ago the day probably
contained some minutes less than our
present day Of twenty four hours. Our
retrospect does not halt here; we at once
project our view back TO an incredibly
remote epoch, which was crisis in tie
history ofonr system. ltmust have bccn
at least b0,O00000 years ago. II may
have becn very much earlier. This crisis
was the interesting occasion when the
