TIDAL FRICTION.
its Effect on the Earth and on the
Moon.


DIR. II. S. Williams. in Harper's Ma 7azine.
Perhaps the most interesting accom-
plishments of mathematical astronomy
from mundane standpoint, at any
rate-are those that refer to the earth's
own satellite. That seemingly staid
body was long ago discovered to have
q propensity to gain d little on the
earth, appearing at eclipses an infln-
itesm2l moment ahead of time. AS
tronymers were sorely puzzled by this
act of insubordination; but at last
Iaplace and Lagrange explained it as
due to an oscillatory change in the
earth's orbit, thus fully generating the
moon, and seeming to demonstrate the
absolute stability and permanence of
our planetary system, which the moons
misl ehavlor had appeared to threaten.
This highly satisfactory conclusion
was an orthodox belief of celestial me-
chanicS until 1858, when Professor Ad-
ans of Neputinian fame, with whom
complex analysis We're a psstime, re-
viewed Laplaces calculation, and dis
covered an error which, when correct
ed, left about half the moons accel-
Grafton unaccounted for, This was a
momentous discrepancy, which at first

Prof, Hemholtz, the great German
physicist. suggested that key might
be found in tidal friction, which. act
ing as a perpetual brake on the earth's
rotation, and affecting not merely the
waters but the entire substance of our
planet, must in the long sweep of time
have changed its rate of rotation.
Thus the seeming acceleration of the
moon might be accounted for as actual
retardation of the earth's rotation-a
lengthening of the day, instead of a
shortening of the month.
Again the earth was shown to he at
fauA, but this time the moon could not
he eXonerated, while the estimated sta
bility of our system, instead of being
re-established, was quite upset. For
the tidal retardation is not an oscilla-
tory change which will presently cor
rect itself, like the orbital wobble, but
perpetual change acting always in
one direction. Unless fully counter
acted by some opposing reaction, there

AN HISTORICAL FRAGMENT.

From the Chicago Tribune.
A blush of shame dyed the swarthY
cheek of the noble Roman senator.
He stood in his place, straight as an ar7
row, and flashed a lightning glance of in1
dignation around the senate chamber.
"Ye gods!' he exclaimed, in ringing
tones. Has it come to this? Must this
proud tribunal descend to the level of an
American senate?"
A murmur of angry protest made itseI
heard, but ne needed il not.
He stretched forth his right arm, ann
his toga fell away, disclosing his muscu1
lar shoulder and massive chest.

not one sentiment of pride in our con-
quering galleys save as they may con-
Vey their grain fleets in safety to distant
ports-shall we do a dishonorable, base,
ignoble thing that even the soulless mer-
cenaries whom our Carthaginian rival
hires to fight her battles would blush TO

a Roman greater than a king? Has ii

The Ball in Detail.

n N ARRANGING those intricate de-
tails-little things and big things
which are sometimes overlooked
beforehand but whose absence is
sure to be noted at the ball--the pres
ent committee had a rare example in
the memorable accomplishments Of the
Bachelor committees of '95 and 'g6
whose chairmen were Harry r. Simp-
son and Albert G.. Hunt respectively.
If the young men who managed last
nights affair did as well as their prede-
cessors their work was well done and
met expectations. That they did this
was the verdict of the hundreds of per-
sons present and of that element
which always hopes to see the large
and distinctively local ball at least
equal to any of the past and is dis
appointed if such does not come to
pass.
Soon after o'clock a steady stream
of richly bundled girls ana matrons
and their escorts began pouring into

In view OF, the recently expressed
determination OF the president to
break up the large army camps and
scatter the troops among the various
posts, our citizens should make an
effort to have several more COM
panies sent to Foet BrowR. The
barracks here are sufficient to accom-
odate probably five hundred or more
men, and the healthy climate as
yell as the mild winter here induce
the war department to send as many
here as possible. 1t would be well
for our leading citizens to take the
matter in hand at once and place
the facts before tie proper author
tiles in order to secure apportion-
ment OF several companies o this
post. Anything that is to be done
should BIO done ere the plane of the
departmnt are made. Several hun
dred soldiers stationed here This
