GARRETT P. SERVISS EXPLAINS
WHY TIDE COMES AND GOES
Inward and Outward Flow Due to Earth's Rotation
On Its Axis.

ITO settle an argument will you
explain the working Of the tides?
What causes their coming and
going?-T. r. s.. New York.
THE cause Of the coming and
II going Of the tides Is the
earth's rotation on its axis. Look
at our first figure, where the up
per part shows the position that
the tides would permanently &C III
py with regard to the moon II the
earth remained stationary on It's
axis. The dotted line through the
center Of the earth from 'b" to
"a" points direct to the moon, and
the opposite tidal crests at "a"
and ''b'' remain fixed in place. the
one directly under the moon, the
other directly opposite to the
moon. The sun also aids in the
production Of the tides, but the
moon is the main agent, and It il
not necessary to consider here the
part that the sun plays.
In the lower part OF the same
figure we see the comu'e.e change

ing to the inertia OF the wnter IN

spondingly the crest Opposite to

placed in the same dir .;tinn.
II the water responded instan-
taneously to the moons liberals
ing force, the crests OF the tide
would not thus be carried out Of
line with the moon; but they
would, just the same, revolve
around the earth's surface in a
direction opposite to the earth's
revolution, that is, toward the
west-and that is the direction in
which the actal tides do move.
So they come and go" at any
place twice a day. But the pre-
else direction in which the tidal
wave on any coast or in any
harbor moves, and the interval
of time between its passage over
the meridian of any place and
the moons passage over the
same meridian. depends upon a
great variety or local circum-
stances, which 1t is the business
Of makers Of tide tables to take
into account.
Our second figure throws light
on the question why there are al
ways two opposite tides-about
twelve hours apart-one under
the moon," the other Opposite
to the MOON"

Z honest slant on nervous break-a
downs. WEAKNESS and resultant
peevishness are NOT abnormal
phenomena. They are perfectly
natural conditions. They occur
in puppies, peacocks and pole
cats as well as in people.
Such WEAKNESS occurs In men
quite as well as In women. Men
undergo quite as desperate
periods OF strain and fatigue in
their factories and offices as
women ever endure in their
homes. They struggle through
and survive these periods because
they MUST survive them. They
have no out. Who's to pay the
bills If they break? So they
hang on, only their Wills alive in
their limp bodies-they do the
next thing mechanically-th

in time they win their way back
to rest and health.
