Differences i'm Tidal Action.

1t will afford some notion of the various
conditions which must be taken into ac-
count before anything like complete
knowledge of tidal action can be obtain
ed, ii we remember that in the open ocean
the rise or fail nowhere exceeds a foot or
two :; while at Mount Saint Michael the
rise is eighty or ninety feet; in the Bay of
Fundy, particularly at Annapolis, it
sometimes amounts to q hundred feet,
and about the Morea there is no change
at all. On our own coasts the rise varies
from thirty to forty feet. at some parts
of the West of England, to be nil at a
point in the German Ocean north of the
Straits of Dover, where a flow trans
mitted through the Strai S encounters
an ebb transmitted round the North of
Scotland, so that an equilibrium is main
tanned. The actual movement due to
attraction, moreover, whatever IT may
be- requires time for its full develop
ment, and still more time for, its prop
agation; the latter requirement being
greatest where movement is impeded by
shore friction. and thus reaching its
maximum where the friction is due to
the beds and winding channels of rivers.
along which, consequently, the tidal
elevation passes as wave, succeeded by
flow, If it be high water at the mouth
of the Thames at noon, the full flow will
not reach London Bridge until midnight.
by which time it will again be high
at the More. In the meanwhile, there
has been low water at the More
and high water. about halfway
to London; and while the high
water is proceeding to London it
is ebbing at this intermediate place,
and is low water there when it is high
water at London and at the More,
where the river is of such magnitude as
to afford u sufficient distance for the
full development OF the phenomena
successive tides produce successive but
co-existlng elevations, separated by COZ
depressions; and in the River
Amazon, between Para. at the mouth
of the river, and the confluence OF the
Madeira, there are no less than seven
co-existent high waters, with as many /
low waters between them. The same
kind of thing occurs in all arms of the
sea, or in all gulfs or bays which are
open to the main ocean on single
aspect; the successive tides sweeping
along their shores to reach different
places in succession, and this at rate
of speed which is greatly determined by
the sinaosities and other characters OF
the coast line. -L0ndon Times.

What Republicans Have Not Learned

Our Republican friends were very
certain that the de eat their party sui
fered last November would simply pu-
rify and strengthen it SO as to make it
deserving OF renewed trust and conf
dence. Now let those of them that are
capable OF an impartial and unpreju-
diced judgment, say whether the G.
publican parly has yet done anything
10 indicate that it has taken the lesson
of defeat to heart. and is sincerely re-
solved to reform the abuses which were
rebuked by the country. Where are
the evidences of reform? They are not
to be foGnd in the action of the Repub-
lican Nat onal Committee last month,
which everybody knows left the Stall
wart bosses still in control of the party
organization. They are not to be found
in the proceedings OF Congress. which
has shown itself none the less unscru-
pulously partisan and extravagant this
We than it was last. Can they fancy
for moment that the insufficient an
possibly wholly reflective Civil Service
bin, which they were frightened into
passing in u sudden panic. and VIII CHI
seems to have gone into oblivion since
ii came from the President, will
deceive the country and make the
people believe that an honest move at
reform has be-un? Is there hope OF
