Power From Ocean Tides. So far such little power as 1ms been abstracted from ocean tides Ims been Insignificant. The rise and fall of the tides Is not very great, even though It docs amount to 70 feet in some places, and hence if any considerable power is to be obtained basins of large area must be used. B.v damming the bay nt Mont St. Michel in France, where the tide rises about 45 feet, it Is estimated that enough power may lie obtained to op erate half of the industries of Franco. A French engineer witli vast powers of imagination has conceived tin- idea of building dikes across the cliiimiel ami ncross the Thames estuary to form two large tidal basins which may bo used alternately to furnish a con tinuous supply of power.
