Attention is once more called to
this subject by the proposed estab-
lishment of power plant based on
the use of the tides to compress air
at Rockland, Me. At that place there
exists a natural tidal basin covering
an area of about one square mile.
The average rise and fall of the tide
is twelve feet. 1t has been calculated
by the engineers in charge of the pro-
ject that 5000 horse power can be de-
veloped, assuming an efficiency of
seventy per cent. for the air COM
pressing apparatus. 1t has been
shown that compressed air can be
transmitted long distances through
pipes with very little loss of power,
and it is proposed to supply such air
to stone quarries situated within a
radius of twenty miles from the tidal
basin. 1t is pointed out that many
similar tidal basins exist elsewhere
along the seacoast. Youths Com
