Outsiders do not realize the precautions
taken in nearly all large industries to pre-
vent accidents. The Midvale Steel COM
pany pays one man a salary of $4,000 lust
to prevent needless mishaps. Men often
thoughtlessly do something that results
in a fall or a crushed finger. This paid
supervisor of life and limb is on the spot
TO prevent carelessness.

MOONS INFLUENCE ON TIDES
Survival Of OId.Time Superstition
Which Has Been Found impossI.
sibie to Eradicate.

The influence of the moon upon the
weather was in ancient times assumed
in much the same way as the influence
of the moon upon the tides Of the sea
was assumed There was no proper
knowledge of the facts In either case
and 1t was accepted In both cases
merely because the regular changes
OF the earth's shadow on the moon
were used as the great primitive time
keeper. and any frequent changes In
other things must happen after some
one or other Of those regular changes,
The barbaric guess, Post hoe ergo
propter hoe" proved, when careful
study of the matter was made and
Newton's law of gravitation was ap
piled to II, to be right in regard to the
tides, but wrong In regard to the
weather. The banking up" Of the sea
in a moving hood which passes, as 1t
were, "over the face Of the waters"

hours is now known to be due to the
drag" or gravitational attraction ex-
erted on the heavy but mobile mass OF
the ocean by the moon as It circles
round the earth. with returning
change in its relative position to earth
and sun. the phases Of which occupy q

But It has no such action on the

number of exact numerical details, de.
pending on the weight Of the moon, It's
position. and movements In relation to
the earth at successive moments, con.
sequently Of its action in producing
the tides Of the sea, have been ascer-
tanned with astounding accuracy. At
the same time astronomers and me-
teorologists (those who study the at.
mosphere OF our earth) have come to
the conclusion that what we call "the
weather" is not affected by the posi-.
tion Of the moon in regard to the
earth. either at any hour Of the day or
any part of the month (phase or

of the year.
