certain changes We're made I'm the ori-

thought best to refer the matter to the
City Solicitor for an opinion before
final action was taken.
One question that caused some de-
lay in the passage Of the resolution
was in regard 90 the paving of streets.
Walter II. Hayes. representing the
City Railway Company, contended
that under the original resolution the
company would have been compelled
to pave all the streets i'm the city II
the lines of the company traversed
only three blocks. He was assured
that the board had no such intention
and the section was amended to read
that the streets should be kept i'm re-
pair in the blocks traversed by the
lines of the company.
The Wilmington City Railway Com
pany asked permission to build exten-
sions in the Eleventh ward and also
on Walnut. Eleventh and Bridge
streets. and the Peoples Railway ask
ed to build an extension in the Elev.
enth ward.
In addition to other slight changes
in the reading of the resolution tbs
time for the completion of the worl
was extended from twelve months e

Tides Upon Land and Sea.

A correspondent of the Geodetic
Survey has recently made observa-
tions with the seism0graph at Maui
ritius that have led to the suggestion
that not only the ocean and the at
mosphere but even the land may ex-
lperience the effects of a daily tide
running round and round the earth as
| 1t revolves on its axis
But. while the tides in the air and
the sea are due more to the moon
than to the sun. the supposed land
tide" arises solely from the suns ac-
ton.
Moreover. it is caused not by the at.
traction of the sun but by its heat. A
wave of depression is supposed to fol.
low the sun from east to west, caused
by the extraction of moisture from the
soil
T. At Mauritius 1t is found that there
Is relative upheaval of the land to
the west of the place of observation
from morning until evening and a
relative depression on the same side
or an upheaval to the east, during the
same night.
