High Tides and the Moon.

Professor Ball, of Dublin, has been
recently trying to prove that the moon
IS the result of tidal evolution, that in
the very remote past when the moon
was only $1,000 miles distant, the earth
must have been swept by tides of enor-
nous, height, and that these tides must
have been powerful agents in producing
changes on the earth's surface which
biologists are now unable to account
for. In a recent number of Nature,
Professor NewberTy, of Columbia Col
lege, goes carefully over the geological
record, and shows conclusively that
these hypothetical high tides have left
no trace of their existence, and that
since the beginning of the geological
record the order of nature has been
essentially what it is to-day. The
testimony of the rocks on this subject,
says Professor Newberry, is SO full and
conclusive that it really leaves no room
for discussion; and hence the astrono-
mers have been in error in regard to the
genesis of the moon, and she never
formed a portion of the earth's mass, Oh
the separation took place at period SC
remote that she had receded to nearly
her present distance before the dawn Of
life on the earth.
