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

Sir George Darwin, the noted scien-
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-
quent slowing down OF the motion OF
rotation of the earth, as q brake would
do The effect, though almost infin-
itesimal. becomes appreciable in time.
although 1t has not yet been meas
ured. But ii must exist, and this slow
ing down being due principally to the
moon 1t must be accompanied by 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 of from the earth at the por-
ton now filled by the Pacific ocean.
AS 1t is still moving further away and
the rate of rotation of the earth dim
inlshing 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 reVoIve as
a rigid body When that occurs the
day will be IS times as long as our
present day But the sun also pro-
duces tides and similar effects, though
on a smaller scale. So the year, too,
will be heightened.

EARNING AN HONEST QUARTET
Great Painter, Unrecognized, Accept
ed Gratuity and Turned Good
Stroke Of Business.

Winslow Homer was a great painter
who had the unusual good fortune to
have his merits appreciated early In
life. But one one ever presumed less
on wide reputation. Affectation was
weakness from which his sense Of
humor saved him.
In his biography, lately written by
Mr.. w. II. Downs, is printed the story
Of New York gentleman of wealth
and artistic tastes who made the jour
ney to Scarboro, Me-, where Homer
had his studio, to make the artists
acquaintance.
On his arrival he found the Studio
door locked; the owner was nowhere
to be SEEN He wandered about the
cliffs for awhile, until he met man
in a rough old suit Of clothes, rubber
boots, and a battered felt hat, who
carried a ish-pole. He accosted the
fisherman thus:
Il say, my man, If you can tell me
where | can find Winslow Homer, ]
have quarter for you"
Where's your quarter?" said the
| fisherman.
He handed 1t over and was astound-
ed to hear the quizzical Yankee fisher
man say: Il am Winslow Homer"
The sequel OF this unusual introduc-
ton was that Homer took his new ao-
quaintance back to the studio, enter
tanned him, and before he left sold
him picture.
