What They Tell of the Growing Length oi-the-Bay-ana-ot-tne Birth of the Moon. Prom a scientific point of view, the work done by the tides is of unspeakable importance. Whence is this energy derived with which the tides do their work? If the tides are caused by the moon, the energy they derive must also be derived from the moon. This looks plain enough, but un fortunately it is not true. Would it he true to assert that the finger of the rifleman which pulls the trigger which supplies the energy with which the rifle bullet is ani animated? Of.course it would not. The energy is derived from the explosion of tho gun powder, and the pulling of the trigger is merely the- means by which the energy is liberated. In a somewhat similar manner the tidal wave produced by "tho moon is tho means whereby a part of the energy stored initio earth is com pelled to extend itself in work. Let me illustrate this by a com parison between tho earth rotating on its axis and the fly w heel of an engine. The fly wheel is a sort of a reservoir, into which the engine pours its power at each stroke of the piston. The various machines in the mill merely draw off the power from the store accumulated in the fly wheel. The earth is like a gigantic fly wheel detached from the engine, though still connected with the machines in the mill. In -tlaat mighty fly wheel a stupendu dds quantity of energy is stored up,and a stupenduous quantity of energy would be given up before the fly wheel -would come to rest. Tho earth's rotation is the reservoir from whence the tides draw the energy they require for doing work. Hence it is that though the tides are caused by the moon, yet whenever they require energy they draw on the supply ready to hand in the rotation of the earth, The earth differs from the fly wheel of the engine in a very important point- 4.3 the en ergy is withdrawn from the fly wheel by the machines in the mill, so it is restored thereto by the power of the steam engine, and the fly wheel runs uni formily. But the earth is merely the fly wheel without the engine. When the work done by the tides withdraws energy from the earth, that energy is never restored. It therefore, follows that the earth's rotation must bo decreasing. This leads to a consequence of the most wonderful importance. It tells us that the speed with which the world rotates on its axes is dimin- ishing. "We can state the result in a manner which has the mcriteU of ycMB tho moon wajJ of simDhcitv and brevity, me tides are increasing the length of the day. At present, no doubt, the effect of the tides in changing the length of the dny is very small. A day now is not appreoiabljj longer than a hundred years ago. Even in a thousand yoars the change in tho length of the day is only a fraction of a second. But the, importance arises from the fact that the change, slow hough it is? lies alwaya in one di rection. The day is continually increasing. In millions of years the accumulated effect becomes not only appreciable, but oveiuof startling magnitude, The change in the length of, the day must involve a corresponding change in the motion of tho moon. Jt the moon acts on the earth and retards the. rotation of the earth so conversely, does the earth react upon the moon. The earth is tor mented by the moon, so it strives to drive away its persecutor, At present the moon revolves round the earth at 'a. distance tf about 210,000 miles. The reaction of the earth tends to increase that 1 distance, and to force the moon to revolve in an orbit which is con tinually getting laiger and larger. As thousands of years roll on the length of the day increases second by second and the distance of the moon increases mile by mile. A million years ago, the day proba bly, contained some minutes less than our present day of twenty four hours. Our retrospect does not halt here; we at once project our view back to an incredibly re mote epoch which was a crisis in tho history of our system. It must have been at least 50,000,000 ycarb ago. It may bav e been ery much earlier. This crisis, was the interesting occasion when the moon was born. The length of thr day was only a very few hours. If we call it three hours we shall not be far from the truth. Perhaps you may think that if vve looked back to a still earlier epoch, tho day would become still less and finally disappear altogether. This is, how ever, not the case. The day can never have been much less than three hours in the present order of things. Everj'body knows that the cai th is not a sphere, but there is a protuberance at the equator, so that as our school book tells us, the cai th is shaped like an orange. It is well known that this pro tuberance is due to the rotation of the earth on its axis, by which the equatorial parts bulge out by cen trifugal force. The quicker the earth rotates the greater is the protuberance. If, however, the rate of rotation exceeds a certain limit, tho equatorial portions of the earth could no longer cling to gether. The attraction -which unites them would be overcome by centrifugal force, and a general break up would occur. It ran be shown that tho rotation of the earth when on the point ot rupturo corresponds to a length of the day somewhere about tho critical value of three hours, which we have al ready adopted. It is therefore impossible for us to suppose a day much shorter than three hours. Let us leave the oaith for a few minutes ' arid examine tho past history of the moon. We have seen the moon ieolve around the earth in. an ever widening orbit. and consequently the moon must, in ancient times, have been nearer the earth than it is now. No doubt tho change is slow. There is not oiuch difference between the orbit of the moon a thousand years ago and tho orbit in which the moon is now moving. But when we rise to millions of years the difference becomes very ap preciable. Thirty or forty mil much closer to the earth than it is at present; very possibly tho moon was then only half its present distance. We must howev er look still earlier to a certain epoch not less thm Gfty million of yoars ago. At that epoah the moon must have been so close to tho earth that the two bodies were almost touching. Everybody knows that the moon revolves now around the earth in a period of twenty-seven days. The period depends upon the dis tance between the earth and the moon. In earlier timet, the month must have bceu shorter than our present, month. Some millions of 3'ears ago the moon completed its journey in a week, instead of tak ing twenty-eight days, as at pres ent. Looking back ear(ier still, wo find the month has dwindled dovv n to a day, then down to a few hours, until at that wondrous epoch, when the moon was almost touching the earth, tho moon spun round the earth qnce every three hours. Iu those ancient times I see our earth to be a -noble globe, as it is at present. Yet it is .not, partly covered with oceans and partly clothed with erdure. The prime val earth seems rather a fiery and half molten mass, where no organic life can dwell. Instead of the at mosphere which we. now have, I see a dense mass of vapors, in which, perhaps, all the oceans of the earth are suspended as clouds. I see that the sun still rises and" sets to give tho succession of day and of night, but the day and the night together only amounted to three hours, instead of twenty-four. Almost touching the chaotic mass of tho earth is another much smaller and equally chaotic body. Around the earth I see this small body rapidly rotating. The two revolve together, as if they were bound by invisible bands. The smaller body is the moon. Nature. Why no Scotchmen go to Heaven. Long years ago, in times so re mote that history does not fix tho epoch', a dreadful war was waged by the King of Scotland; Scottish valor prevailed, and the King of Scotland, elated by his auccess, sent for his Prime Minister, Lord Alexander. "Weil, sanuy, saw he, "is there ne'er a king we canna con quor noo ? "An' it pleaso your Maicsty, I ken o' a king that your Majesty canna vanquish." "An' who is he, Sandy?" Lord Alexander, re verontly look ing up, said: "The King o' Heav en." "The King o' whaur Sandy?" "The King o' Heaven." Tho Scottish King did not un derstand, but was unwilling to dis play any ignoranco. "Just gang your ways, Sandy, and tell King o' Heaven to gie up his dominions, or I'll come nivsel' and ding him oot o' them; and mind, Sandy, ye dinna como back to us untill ye hae dime door bidinV Lord Alexander retirod much perplexed, but met a priest, and reassured, returned and presented himself, "Well, Sandy," paid, the king, Hia' ye seen the King o' Heaven, and what says ho to oor biddin'?" "An' it pleases your Majesty, I havo seen ane o' his acredited ministers." "Well, and what saye he?" "Ho says your Majesty may o'en hao his kingdom for tho askin' o' it." ""Wa3 ho sae civil?" said the king warming to magnanimity. "Just gang your way back, San,dy, an tell tho Kwg o' Heaveft that for his civility the dcil a Scotch man shall set foot in his kingdom," Speak Up- Will Mr. Wilcox and such in telligent, honest voters a.s we Unow him to bo, come forward now and declare that no nun shall rep resent hiscounty in tho Legislature, or in Congress, who is not dead square in favor of sach legislation as will make this railroad company either build tho Astoria railroad and take patents on these lands end then pay tixes on them, or give them up; if they persist in j holding their claim to ye lands! they must pay tacs ' on them at all events?
