Numerous attempts, says an ex-
change, have been made to turn to pro.
litable account the mechanical power
stored up in the rise and fall Of tides,
but hitherto without any general
practical result. Two ideas mainly
have been worked upon, the first being
that of elevating weight by the rising
tide and converting its descent into
motive power, and the second that of
constructing water sheds which are
influenced by the ebb and flow of the
tide. A new departure in this direct
ion has been taken by Prof. Walker,
who proposes to utilize the power of
the tide in very simple manner, to
compress air by which to raise the
water thus used for compression to any
given height, so as to obtain good
head or fall for driving machinery.
Moreover, the water thus used need
not necessarily run to waste, but can
be used over and over again. The
feasibility of this invention is shown
by some ap laratus which is fitted up
in a warehouse in London, the
satisfactory working of which we
recently witnessed. Although the
apparatus is only in model, water was
elevated by stages twenty-four feet
high in one instance, and in another
eighteen feet high, travelling distance
of about sixty feet horizontally from
the starting point, showing in the latter
case that it is not at all necessary that
the apparatus should be in or even
near the tidal river or the sea.

The moon is up in splendor,
And golden stars attend her;
The heavens are calm and bright;
Trees cast deepening shadow,
And slowly off the meadow
A mist Is rising silver white.
Nights curtains now are closing
Round half a world reposing
In calm and holy trust.
All seems one vast, still chamber,
Where weary hearts remember
No more the sorrows of the dust.
