To the ordinary lay mind the tides
along our coast are most puzzling. He
knows that the tides rise and fall

this depends In some mysterious way
upon the moon. But If in his travels
he sees a spot along the shore where
there Is no tide he is at a loss to &C
count for It,
To be exnct. there IS only one ocean
In the world where the tides follow the
moon with regularity. and this is the
great Antarctic basin. And the reason
Is that there is the only place a sweep

The depth Of the water has much to

the open ocean. where the tide is
abnormal-about 5000 fathoms-the
speed Of the waves is amazing. When
the depth decreases TO FIVE fathoms
the tide cannot travel more than ar.
teen miles an hour. In England, for
