EARTH is ELASTIC
Is Pulled Ont of shape by Action of
the Tides

London, April 16.-(Special )-That the
earth is elastic and pulled out of shape
by action of the tides has been dscov-
cred by Professor Milne, the leading Eng
lish authority on earth phenomena. AS
the result of experiments he has found
that twice In every "a hours, at high
tide, the buildings along opposite sides
of tidal basins salute each other"
The experiments carried out at Bidston
observatory. near Liverpool. one and a
half miles from the sea, with a modified
form of seismograph designed to record
tital effects and the more minute move
not or not often record The instru-
ment recorded photographically, a tilt
on the pillar supporting it causing a def
mite DETECTION on the film.
AT high tide the bed of the Irish Sea
became depressed from an increased load
and the effect of this was to pull the
shores together. At Bidston the amount
of detection was about equal to one
inch in 16 miles.
Professor Milne many years ago showed
that our ordinary apparently stable Eng
1ish valleys opened when the sun fell
upon them and contracted during the
night He also showed that apparently
tho whole of the Isle of Wight tits up
at high water. owing to the greater
weight of the water in the English chan
mel as compared with that in the So
lent.
His latest work is the complement of
earlier research and tends to show that
the earth is a great deal more elastic
and responsive to pulls and strains than
is commonly appreciated.

be allotted dates. The total of the prize
money at these three meetings will be $780,
900. So greatly has the number of flying
mer increased since last summer that
