TERRA FIRMA is
CONSTANTLY MOVING
rAcrs connected with the tides. show

TACTS connected with the tides show
ing conclusively that the motion of
the waters Of the earth. is caused
by the attraction of the moon have been
din1y understood for centuries. For
nearly a hundred years the actual meas
urements Of the tides in all important sec
tions of the coast lines of the world have
been known to mariners and students
1t has remained for Prof. Hecker of the
Prussian Geodetical Institute to demon
strate that the so-called solid surface of
the earth itself yields just like the oceans
to the pull of the moon and the sun and
back of that the final reaction of all the
matter in the universe. While the mo-
tions of the ocean are large. being meas
ured by feet. those of the solid crust of
the earth are very small, measuring only
inches.
The calculations show that the earth as
a solid possesses about the same elasticity
as a ball of solid steel. In times long
past. when the earth was molten through
heat. the sun pulled 1t out OF shape to
three times the extent of what occurs now
in the partially cooled off state of the
globe. The planet Jupiter is so pulled out
of shape that at certain periods it's still
plastic mass (having about the density OF
wateD assumes an oval shape and at
the heavens.
Prof. Hecker. in making his caIcula-
tions. was forced to use the most delicate
of pendulums and have even the tempera-
ture Of the room he worked in always at
the same point. The curves made by the
pendulums were registered on mirrors and
then reflected so as to be tremendously
magnred. In this way the differences In
these pendulum curves down to points inn
perceptible to the human eye were regis
tered.
Thus magnified, the differences caused
by the pull of the moon and sun on the
measured by the Prussian scientist. This
difference is rs inches in the northern
hemisphere and an equal amount in the
southern half Of the globe.
Thus there is all told a pulling away
from each pole according to the position
of the sun of a total 1J& inches. This
difference is uniform. The giving of the
rigid structure of the world. equal to that
of fine steel, Is not noticeable any more
than the tides can be observed out at
sea.
There is apparently no connection be-
tween this newly discovered motion of the
crust of the earth and earthquakes. This
must be due to the fact that every atom
of the globe feels this motion and all
move simultaneously and in uniform
speed and direction. Hence there are no
local disturbances. 1t is the pull of the
entire universe. although. of course the
nearness of the moon and the enormous
mass OF the sun, comparatively speaking.
make these two bodies the strong eie-
ments in crust motion ON the earth. Their
positions are the ones which cause the
greatest variations in the amount OF this
singular earth movement and practically
dictate it's periods and directions.
