THEORY OF EARTH MOVEMENT
Sir George Darwin, Noted English Sci
enlist, Delivers Interesting
Address on Tides.

Sir George Darwin, the noted seien-
fist, who was the guest of the Authors
club In London recently, delivered an
interesting address on his theory OF
the tides. Everybody knows that the
tides are due to the moons attraction.
In the tidal motion the movement OF
the water causes friction and a conse-
rotation OF the earth, as a brake would
do. The effect, though almost intin-
itesimal, becomes appreciable in time
although 1t has not yet been meas
ured. But 1t must exist, and this slow
ing down being due principally to the
moon 1t must be accompanied by a re-
action on 1t, with the result that the
moon will move further and further
away from the earth, owing to the
yielding of the system. The opinion OF
many authorities is that the moon
was shot off from the earth at the por-
ton now filled by the Pacific ocean.
AS it is still moving further away and
the rate Of rotation OF the earth dim
inishing the time will come when the
length of the day and that OF the lu-
mar month will be the same, and the
earth and moon will again revolve as
rigid body. When that occurs the
day will be 66 times as long as our
present day. But the sun also pro-
duces tides and similar effects, though
on smaller scale. So the year, too,
will be heightened.

Any person who has ever had an

around the ankle and this supports a
