Falling from Great Heights.
From the London Field.l

On an aerial trip in the balloon Owl,
IN September, lSSO-the voyage being
limited as to time by the conditions of
the contest in W lich we, the aeronauti.
cal party in the car, were engaged-it
became necessary TO make rapid de-
scent. On first appearance near the
earth at Dmmow, IN Essex, the aero

ground there, he would risk catching the
telegraph wires with his anchor. Bal

thrown out, and we darted up to
height Of 1900 feet. On again prepar-
ing for del cent, the valve was twice
opened, and out, of course, rushed vol
umes Of gas. 1he Owl fell plumb /, 800
feet in one minute and a quarter. The
remaining sand ballast as it was thrown
overheard, flew up in our faces, being
quite insufficient to check the descent of
the balloon, which, being somewhat after
the shape OF the bird whose name it
bore, did not offer so much of the para
chute resistance rs a more bulgr euvel-
ope would have done. We came to grass
with thud that sent me about limping

THE TIDES.


SIR William Thomson read at the re.
cent meeting of the British Association
most interesting and comprehensive
paper on the subject of the tides He
explained the prcselt theory of tides,
and described the various Influences
which modify the height tides, not,
however, taking into account the local
effects of peculiar coniormations of the
coast, which in some places cause a
very great rise and fall, and in others
reduce the movement almost or quite to
nothing. His paper dealt only with the
tide-generating power OF the moon and
the sun. He gave a very clear account
of the results of combined and divided
attraction, and also of the changes due
to the nearnoss or distance of the sun
and moon at different points i'll the rl-
liptical orbits Of the earth and the moon.
The fact that a body loses one-six mil
honth part Of It's weight when the moon
is overhead, owing to the mutual attrac-
ton between the body and the moon,
and gains one. half as much, owing to
the same cause, when the moon is Oh
the other side of the earth. was used TO
illustrate the force which produced the
tides. There are some thugs in refer
ence to this eycr-wOndcrful motion OF
the ocean which have not been ex-
planned, but the general principles
are no longer doubtful. That is to
say, it cannot be questioned that the
phenomenon itself l. fully explained.
What remains TO he done is to trace out
the causes of certain variations and to
water appear to he wholly unaffected
by the powerful forces which are suf-
ticient over most Of the earth's surface 10
cause tides. Sir William Thompson
shows plainly why the earth itself is not
twisted out of shape by the attraction of
the sun and moon, the cause being the
rigidity of our globe, which is equal to
that OF Homogeneous globe OF steel of
the same size W,Io it MOI so the earth
at its coast lines would be raised at the
same time and To the same extent as is
water, and there would be no tide. More.
over, over the whole surface OF the land
there would he IA semi diurnal rise and
fall which would utterly destroy every
structure which man could erect. But
if this is SO we are forced to the conclu-
sion that the very beginning of life on
our pIur ct could not have been Until the
earth had acquired substantially the
same riGidity which it now has. Sir
William Thompson has invented an in
stIumenf which will probably prove
highly useful. IT is a tide-gauge which
lis capable OF adjustment for any place
rs soon as the data afforded by the OBJ
scrvation of tides for "a single year can
be had. Then 10y turning a crank the
variation Of the tides during the whole !
year can be exhibited, or the amount of
any specified tide during the year can
he ascertained in very few minutes.

A POINT IN LAW.

A vcxcd question in international law
of many years standing has Just re-
ceived learned discussion from Judge
Hoffman, of California. 1t is: Wheth-
er fugitive from justice brought back
upon charge of one crime can resist
being tried on any other. One view has
been that although criminals ought not
to he extradited except upon specific
charges, and ought not 10 be Iut on
trial on any other charge than one men
toned in the proceedings, yet the cul-
prlt had no right to ohIect; the question
was only diplomatic one between the
two nations. When Wlnslow was de-
manded from Great Britain by the Uni
ted States, Lord Derby, under an act of
parliament later than the treaty,
claimed from Secretary Fish a stipula-
tion that he should be tried only on the
charge named, but our administration
refused to give it, and there WAS long
disagreement between ir. two nations
over the question. In IL, @3;,d case of
La grave, the New York co@yts held that
until some law or treaty imitcd the
prosecution of returned o;l,uders to the
very crime specified the coarts could not
refuse to entertain any regularly made
charges. Other iurists of high stand
ing have thought it proper Tor a court
to entertain pri-ourrs objection that
he had been brousa; back unfairly.
And of this Opinion /, Jnign HoFman.
He argues that tp.yit'':4 il il treaty
certain crimes as 2rp,Irl, n! cxtradition
implies that no oti..a shall be allowed;
and, further, that the treaty i. a part OF
the law of the land, DE wu,cr the pris-
oner is personally entitled TO tbc bene-
fit.

BROOKINGS DAKOTA, THURSDAY FEBRUARY Is,

in Ireland all the police are under the
control of the government at Dublin
Castle. SO, too, education and the man
agement of the lunatic asylums in Ire
land are part of the machinery controlled
by the lord lieutenant. The poor.law
guardians do not represent the people
much better, and the government of
counties, through grand juries, is man.
aged in such way as to make it wholly
anti-popular. Mr.. Morley suggests
plan for county government by elected
boards, such as we have in this country.
He further shows the difference between
local government in England and Ire
land by pointing to the difference be-
tween the proportions of municipal
electors to the total population OF cities.
In one English city of 259, 200 popula-
ton there are 10000 electors, while in
Dublin, out of population of 26S, 900
there arc but 5000 or 1000 electors.
