Power Frc-- Tide, and Winds.


At the recen1 -meetirs # the British
association the question Of economical
production of power from tides and
winds was again under discussion, and
1t has been taken up widely by scien.
tific journals In Europe. La Revue
Scientifique calls attention to a sys-
tenn of utilizing the power of sea
waves to actuate dynamo which has
been employed during the last six
months at the. mouth of the River
Gironde. An air chamber is connect.
ed with well, which communicates
with the sea at depth below the
level OF the lowest tides. BY the ad
vance and recession of the waves
changes Of pressure are produced in
the air chamber, and a system OF
valves enables the resulting air cur
rents to be applied to rotating a kind
turbine. II is said that the apparatus
works equally well ir calm and II
stormy weather.
