it is because man has been unable to adul-

WHY THE OCEAN BULGES.
How the Action of the waters Ii In
huenced by the Moons
Attraction.

If familiarity does not always breed
contempt, yet at least it generally
breeds indifference. This is the case
with most of us in regard to the rise
and fall of the tide by the seashore. and
so the problem as to whether the tide
will serve conveniently to allow the
children to dig in the sand or search for
seaweed looms larger than that pre-
sented by the gigantic forces which
now produce only these somewhat in
significant spulsations of the sea. Yet
the tides should call forth in us a deep
er interest," might almost say an emo
tion-for they are the feeble residue of
influences which have probably exer-
cised predominant control over the
history of the earth and the moon since
an indeterminate but remote epoch in
the past. and will continue that control
into the distant future According to the
law of universal gravitation, the moon
attracts matter which stands near to
her more strongly than that which is
more remote. 1t follows that the at
traction on the ocean, at the side of the
earth which is nearest TO the moon,
must be greater than that exercised on
the solid earth itself. Hence there is a
tendency for the sea to depart from its
natural spherical shape, and to bulge
outward toward the moon. So far the
matter is simple; but it is perplexing to
many that the moon should apparently
repe the water lying ON the further
side of the earth. This action, how
ever, is not due to any ideal repulsion
from the moon, but results from the
fact that on the further side the moon
must attract the solid earth more
strongly than il does the water. On
the nearer side the moon pulls the
water away from the earth. and on the
further side she pulls the earth away
from the water, thus producing an ap-
parent repulsion of the water to the
esHent equal to the attraction on the
other side. In this way there arises a
tendency for the ocean to bulge equally
toward and away from the moon, and
to assume an egglilp shape.-Prof
George III. Darwin, in Atlantic.
