parlors in New York wanted assist

meanwhile Fanny must live. The
night after her sojourn in Nellie Ben

The Moon Weird Spell =

, the tidal force Of the earth upon the
moon is about so times as great as the
tidal force of the moon upon the earth.
This results from the fact that the
earth is so times as heavy as the moon.
In the next place, there is little doubt
that ages ago the moon was a, mass Of
molten rock, revolving round the earth
much closer than it is today. In fact
there is reason to think that the moon
is a piece of the earth. flung off al a
time when both were yet composed Of
semi-liquid. or plastic, material
When the moon was plastic, the at
traction of the earth produced upon
it enormous tides, which were not con-
fined. like those Of today to a. surface

entire body of the moon. The braking
action of such tides would be tremen-
dous, and the consequence was that
probably before it had solidified, the
moon lost nearly all its rotational mo-
ton around its axis, and began to keep
one side always toward the earth. It
may be that the globe of the moon,
when its rotation was thus arrested,
became permanently drawn out into an
eggshaped figure, having it's longer axis
pointed toward the earth.
The earth escaped the fate that it in
flicted upon it's satellite and child be-
cause of it's vastly greater mass, which
enabled it to retain its rotational force
in spite of tidal friction. But, as l have
already mentioned, the earth's turn will
come, II it lasts long enough.
There is another very curious effect
of tidal friction to which the moon has
been subjected, IL as is now generally
believed. it originated from the earth.
When the two were both still molten
hot, they mutually raised great bodily

That the tidal wave" raised by the
moon in the earths oceans should act

be evident to you if you watch the bill
lows rolling in upon the shore when
the tide is rising, and reflect that their

in opposition to the earth's motion of
rotation. for the general direction in
which the tide wave travels is from
east to west, while the earth rOtates
from west to east. The final result
must be the lengthening Of the day, but
the force of the tidal friction is so

mathematical diagram, it is impossible
to show it happened, but it can be
mathematically proved that one OF
these effects was that the tidal pro-
tuberances produced by the moons at

the moon farther away.
This action continued, with gradually
lessening effect as long as there were
bodily tides raised by the moon upon
the earth. Such tides must have lasted
longer on the earth than on the moon.

il can be shown that our oceanic tides
exercise extremely slight, yet calcula-

still farther from its mother earth.

ITO MANY persons it seems strange
why the moon always shows the
same face to the earth. The ex-
PLANTATION is rather complicated. The
moon owes the plight into which it has
fallen. that Of being compelled to keep
always the same face toward the earth,
to force known as tidal friction,
which is a kind of brake applied to all
bodies rotating on an axis in the pres
ence Of another body that pulls upon
them by gravitation. The earth itself
feels this brake Of tidal friction, which
is screwed on, as if in vengeful spirit
by the moon, and the time will come
when our proud planet will In its turn,
be compelled to keep always one face
toward the now submissive, but then
triumphant satellite.
When that remote epoch arrives, the
day and month will be Of equal length,
