Free selling of wheat set in as soon

go less meagerly from farms, and there

1t is In the home that one should learn

Much OF the happiness or sorrow OF
life depends on small things, tones OF

not always on the thing that is said or

toward the line joining the centers Of the
earth and the moon from all parts of the
moonward hemisphere OF the earth, but
since the oceans do not cover the whole
earth, and are of irregular outline and OF
varying depths, and since, moreover, the
revolution OF the earth on its axis Is con-
tinually carrying the center of the moon
ward hemisphere out of line, the crest Of
the tidal wave is never directly under the
moon. and the height OF the tide, and the
direction in which IL causes currents 20
flow, depend upon many local circum-
stances, so that Il is a very complicated
prJolom to calculate the tides for any
particular seaport
But there are two tides per day, owing
to the fact that the same dlfferentiaI ef-
feet Of the moons attraction Is felt, in a
reverse way, on the side of the earth
that is turned from the moon. on that
side the ocean water is farther from the
moon than the center of the earth Ii. In
consequence the earth is drawn away
from the water. and the latter is raised
into tide analogous to the one on 70
other side.
Tho SUN also raises tides, but these,
owing to the great relative distance OF
the sun. are only about two-fifths as high
as the lunar tides. At new and full moon
the two tides are combined. giving the
spring tide" and at first and last quar-
ter OF the Noon the two tides act against
one another. producing the ''neap tide"

Law of Gravitation
Has Made the Moon Mistress of the Seas

Ing 5000 miles in diameter, its surface,
on the side that happens at any time TO
be toward the moon, is 1900 miles nearer
the moon than its center is. Consequently
the force of the moons attraction is
greater at the surface than at the center
In the inverse proportion OF the square OF
$4,000 to the square Of 2S6, 900, or which
Is the same thing. the square OF sixty to
the square of fifty-nine. In other words.
the moon pulls about 81 per cent more
strongly at point on the earth's surface
directly under It than on the earth's CEN
ter.
II then there exists on the earth's sur
face. under the moon, a mass OF liquid,
such as the ocean, whose particles, like
those of all liquids, move freely among
one another instead OF being fixed rigfdly
like those of solid, II is evident that
this Liquid will tend to be drawn away
from the solid earth by virtue of the
greater attraction to which II is subject.
and in this tendency lies the origin Of the
tides. t5

ana to be attracted. in like manner, by
every other body. / say seems" TO at
tract because there is reason for think
Ing that the force may be more OF the
nature Of a push than a pull.
This Is equally true whether the bodies
in operation are microscopic particles or
gigantic suns and worlds. The Intensity
OF the force depends upon the mass or
the quantity OF matter contained in the
bodies concerned. A body with ten times
the mass OF another has ten times az
much gravitative force as that other.
This appears quite evident, and in ac-
eordance with what one would expect,
Just as an elephant is stronger than a
horse But the next law" affecting
gravitation is not self-evident. except 10
those who have studied 1t mathematicaliy,
although It is the cause of the moons
influence in producing the tides.
This law says that not only does the
force OF gravitation vary with the dis
tance between the attracting bodies. be-
coming greater as they are nearer and
less as they are farther apart. but that
the amount OF variation is measured by
the square OF the increase or decrease of
distance. II is the famous law OF in
'otSS Squdfea winch appears TO be one
OF natures fundamental principles. To
give single example; II you double
the distance between two bodies you
diminish the force OF attraction between
them four times -four being the square OF
tWo), and II you halve the distance YOU
increase the attractions four times.
One other. still more curious. law or
fact about gravitation remains TO be con-
sioered before we can understand the
way In which the moon makes tides in
the earth's oceans 1t Is this: In the
case Of spherical bodies, like the earth
and the moon, the whole force Of attrac-
ton tends toward the central point of the
body, and the two attract and are at
traoted by one another just as II their
entire masses were concentrated at their
respective centers. In other words, the
moon pulls the earth. as a whole exactly
as II IL had a string attached. not to the
surface, but TO the central point OF the
earth
Now, keeping in mind all these state
ments concerning the way that gravita-
lion acts. let as consider the effects OF
the moons attraction upon the earth. The
distance between their eenters Is. in round
numbers, 10000 miles. But the earth be-
