When tho Dsy-wm De n Month Long.

When tho Dzy'sH1i De q Month Long.
DO you know that tho day, which Is now
only "a hours long, is slowly increasing in
length, and that 1t will eventually BIO 80,
&c or even 100 hours In lenRthp This
statement, strange as 1t may sound to one
who has never read the results Of obserya-
lions made on that score, is believed to be
true In every respect. Not only will the
earth's motion slow up until the day will
DO one, two and three times rs long as IL
Is lot present, but this pace slackcning proc
ess Will increase with time, until the day
Will eventually be q week or even month
in length. The "retarding medium, "
which tho astronomers speak Of as being
the cause OF this phenomena, Is not fully
understood at present. Professor Ball SAYS
TINT 1t Is tho friction Of the tides which is
responsible for tho most OF It. He urges
that the time will come when the day will
DO full ycar in length Others among
the Investigators along this line declare
that 1t will BIO absolutely impossible for
this day frightening process to increase
beyond one lunar month.
This certainly looks plausible II we con-
slider the tides as being tho cause Of the
trouble. However, Professor Ball. who
has long been astronomer royal OF Ireland
and the greatest British authority on as
tronomy, knows just about whereof he
speaks, and IL no says tho day must even
tually lengthen year we had better pre-
pare for tho nightless season without ask.
