pending on the complexity of the tides
involved. Yearly tide tables are pub
lished by the survey based on the
tabulations thus obtained, showing
the predicted time to the minute, and
height to the nearest tenth of a foot,
of every high and low water in the
year at most of the principal seaports
of the world, and giving indirectly, by
means of an appended table, the same
information for more than 5000 inter
mediate ports" These tables are
prepared three years in advance, so
that at present those for 1880 are
being made.
The machine consists of a brass
framework supporting a complicated
looking system of shafts, gears, dials
and cranks. To make predictions for
any port it is first necessary to adjust
the proper cranks and dials SO that
they will represent the different fac
tors, such as the pull of the sun, the
moon. etc, that go to make up the
tide. Thirty seven of these elementary
factors or components of the tide are
taken into account by the machine.
To start predicting the operator
turns a large hand crank setting in
motion the gears of the machine which
sum up the 81 componenta and in
dicate on dials directly in front of
him, the various phases of the tide
which nature will produce. In order
that the operator may not fail to note
the time of high and low water, an
automatic electromagnetic brake stops
the machine when it reaches those
points.

Another important feature of this
machine is the tide curve" made
by a pen which moves up and down
with the rising and falling of the
tide, which may be used to verify the
readings of the operator. This curve is
made on roll of paper about inches
wide and $40 feet long, sufficient to
record one stations tides for a year,
as each days record is traced on one
foot of paper.
A line representing mean sea level
is made in the middle Of the paper by
another pen, which also notes the be-
ginning Of each hour and the time
when the tide is highest and lowest

Machine, No. g" 1t combines the de-

chimes that We're built previous to it's
construction, and includes several new
principles.
The worlds first tide predictor was
made in 1873 by Lord Kelvin. 1t took
into account but 10 components of
the tide, as oontrasted with the 81
which now are used as a basis Of the
Geodetic Surveys predictions, insuring
their accuracy. Altogether five early
tide Projectors were made in England,
one of which is now in France and
another in Brazil. Every one of these
early machines merely made a tide

sumed more time than was taken in
their production.
Hence Prof. William Ferrel of the
United States Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey set to work to make a device
which would indicate directly to the
operator the times Of high and low
tides rather than produce a curve.
In this he was successful, and the
machine he designed was made in
Washington in 1882 by Fauth & Co. II

The study of tides dates back to
ancient times. Centuries before the
Christian era the relations between
the moon and the tides had been noted.
Sir Isaac Newton, however, was the
first to reduce tidal observations to
a scientific basis. When he formu-
lated his law of gravitation he proved
that tides were among its conse-
auences. Later the great varieties of
tides in different parts of the world
were noted, and the notifications
caused by terrestrial features ad-
mitted.
The tides of the Atlantic and Pa
cifio Oceans, for example, offer strik-
ing contrasts. On the Atlantic Coast
of America the morning and after
noon tides are quite similar. with
two high and low waters every
"a hours, while on the Pacific Coast
the afternoon tides are different from
those of the morning. and occasion.
ally there is only one high and low
water each day. The World-famous
tides of the Bay of Fundy rise ver-
tical distance of 40 feet in six hours,
against a fluctuation OF less than one
foot in the same time on Nantucket
Island.
T.. p. Disney. one of the operators
of the United States Coast and Geo
detic Survey de-predicting machine
no. 2, states that in the days of light
draft vessels advance knowledge OF
tides was Of minor Importance, but
with the deep draft vessels of modern
commerce it is as valuable to the navi-
gator as weather forecasts, for it en-
abes him to regulate his speed so
that he will arrive at each harhor
when he can enter safely without
costly loss of time waiting for the
proper tide.
