approximate figure for the suns
mass relative to the moons mass
(which is nearly 27,00O,000 to l.,
instead of 1900, 900 to u, we
get $4,000 900 to represent the
loss by the sun through distances
against the $1,000, 900 that it gains
by superior mass, leaving the adj
vantage with the moon in the RAJ
ito of more than 213 to /. The
moon, therefore, is over twice as
effective as the sun in producing
the tides, and on this account it
is customary to treat the lunar
attraction as the primary element
in the production of the tides,
its effect being modified by the
attraction of the sun.
At new and full moon the tidal
forces of moon and sun are COM
bined, and the tides are then
higher; at the lunar quarters the
two forces act at right angles to
one another and then the tides
are lower. The periods Of high
and low, or spring and neap, tides
follow one another at intervals of
about a fortnight. A sign of
neap tides is the half moon in
either the evening or the morning
sky.
Moons Influence
The moons influence in produc-
ing the tides is not only much
greater than the suns, but it is
more variable, owing to the con-
siderable changes in the moons
distance from the earth caused
by the eccentricity of her sorbit.
When she is in perigee-that is,
in that part of her orbit that APP
proaches closest to the earth-the
tides are almost one-fifth higher
than when she is in apogee, or
farthest from the earth. The
highest tides occur when the
moon is in perigee at the same
time that she is in conjunction
or opposition with the sun-that
is, either at new moon or full
moon-for then the solar tide sup
plements the high lunar tide.
II the new or full moon coin
cides with perigee about January
l, when the sun Is also nearest
the earth, the very highest tides
occur, and should a heavy on
shore wind prevail, the tidal wave
may be swollen to disastrous pro-
portions.
Here is suggestive fact to
think about: The moon in her
orbit advances nearly 1S degrees,
or 81 minutes of time, eastward
in a day. Accordingly the inter
walls between her passage over
the meridian average "a hours
81 minutes. But the average in
tervals between high tides, on sue
cessive days, is also "a hours 81
minutes.

By Garrett P. Serviss
Noted Astronomer and Writer on
Scientific Topics of Popular
Interest

A WASHINGTON reader writes:
"A "A friend and myself, dis
cussing the cause of the tides,
came across the fact that the
sun has an appreciable influence
on them. This being so, the
question arose, why does not the
sun have the greater influence?
True the moon is nearer, but the
enormous mass of the sun should
compensate for that.
''As / understand the law of
gravity, an object exerts its in
fluence directly as to the mass
and inversely as to the square of
the distance. Unless my figures
are faulty the mass of the sun
is over 100000 times that of
the moon. The square of 400
being only 100000, the suns
gravitational pull should be
about 108 times the moons"
This reader has hit upon a rock
that has bothered many others.

force of gravitation increases with
the mass or amount of matter,

But this law is modified in the
case of the tides, so that while
the force still varies directly
with the mass, it's variation with
distance depends upon the cube
instead of simply the square.
The reason for this is that the
