HAS OWN THEDRY | ON OCEAN TIES D. B. Norton of Plainville Con-! tradicts Accepted Explanation | The accepted theory thay, the tides of the oceans are cauted by the at- Lraction of the moon is denied by David B. Norton of Plainville, who Las a hypothcsis of his own to ac- gount for the tidal movements. Mr. Norton, who has studied cosmogony tor many years, claims that various facts in connection with the tides digprove their lunar origin, and he asscrts that they are caused by the talling of the earth towards the sun und” moon and its recession from them. Mr. Nocton sets forth his theory as follows: “Why do astronomers who write of the tides, represent the tides as being under the moon, and on the opposite side of the earth from the woon, when they know perfectly well that there is no tide under the woon, and no tidec on the opposite side of the earth frim the moon? The truth is that {.c moon is about hit hours pa:. the meridian when the crest of the tide arrives at any port. It is a fuct that therg is a de- pression in the waters of the oceans upder the moon, and also a depres- ~ion in the waters of the oceans on the oppesits side of the earth from the moon. It is true that there arc ©wo tides; but these tides are about #0 degree from the moon, one pre- ceding it, and the other following it. “Newton's theory of the tides. when tested by the facts is about as wmuch jof a failure as any theory could be. The sun attracts the earth uhout 180 times as much as the njoon attracts it, and if the tides in oceans were raised by gravitational toree the tides raised by the sun would be much greater than the tides raised by the moon. Newton tries to get around this difficulty by claiming that the gravitational | foree of the sun is diminished by the inverse cube of the distance when acting to caure a tide, instead | of by the inverse square of the dis- tance, as when acting upon the ~arth to hold it in its orbit. This is plainly a subterfuge designed to mislead those not confident of their inathematical ability; because how :an the gravitational force of the sun act upon the earth, diminished by the universc square of the dis- tance to hold it in its orbit, but at the same time be diminished by the universe cube of the distance when acting upon the waters of the oceans to raise a tide? This is ab- surd, and it scems to the writer that it s almost to absurd to take aotiee of, “Newton mathematically demon- strated the existznce of the force of gravitation; but he assumed a num- ber of things that were not true.| i ing the tides that I could find, gress, his tidal theory being one of | them, “I became interested in cosmog- ony at the age of ten or twelve, and I have studied the subject 10r morc than forty years. I have taken up the study of the tide many times only to give it up because I could tind no theory that would fit facts. Three or four years ago, after I had collected all the facts regard- 80 that I had them on paper before me, a theory of the tides came to me in a flash that seems to agree with the facts 50 far as they dre known. This theory of the tides that 1 have worked out is quite a long story and cannot be given in a few paragraphs #0 I will give the gist of it as briefly as possible, “The celestial spaces are not emp- ty spaces, but they are filled with a resisting medium. There is abun- dant evidence by which this can be proved. “The tides are caused by the fall- ing of the earth toward the moon and toward the sun. The earth falls toward the moon continually. The carth falls toward the sun while | moving from aphelion to perihelion. The earth reczdes from the sun which movigg from perihelion to aphelion, but this recessional move- ment of the earth from the sun causes a tide just the same as the fall, because the earth meets with resistance from the resisting celesti- al medium just’ the same during this movement as during the fall. The earth meets with no resistance . from the resisting celestial medium in its orbital motion because the medium revolves within the earth about the sun. “As a result of this falling of the ! carth toward the moon and toward the sun there is a constant pressurc in the earth’s atmosphere on sun, This pressure in the earth’s at- mosphere is transmitted to the wa- ters of the oceans so that they slighly flattened under the moon and under the sun. As a result of this tlattening of the waters of the occans under the moon two tides are formed about 180 degres but about 90 degrees from the moon. One of these tides precedes the mgon continually and the other fol- lows it. A tide precedes the sun and another follows it the same as the case with the moon; but these ! tides attributed to the sun are much smaller than those attributed to the moon. “The earth falls much more vapid- 1y toward the sun than it falls to- ward the moon: but the tides raised by the carth’s fall towagd the sun aré not as great as those raised by the fall toward the moon. This is be- cauge the earth is surrounded for a great distance by a resisting medi- um that- revolves with it and falls with it as it falls toward the cun. This celestial medium, outside the earth’s atmosphere sustains most of the pressure resulting from the earth's fall toward the sun so that only a little {s transmitted to the the | the | sides turned toward the moon and | apart, | “The earth falls faster toward the moon when the moon is at perigee,! ithan when it 1s at apogee, and the | |tides vary according® being higher | | when the moon is at perigee than iwhen at apogee. The eafth falls | faster toward the sun when near | perihelion than when near aphelion, and, other things being equal, we | have the highest tides yhen the jearth is near perihelion.” | " AGREE TO SEPARATION | Former Adelatde Kip Rhinelander | | and Her Husband Give Up At-| | tempt 1o Live Together, | | New York, Jan. 10 (P—Mrs. Ju!- |ien St. Charles Chaqueneawn, the for- i mer Adelaide Kip Rhinglander, has | announced that she and her hus- band have mutually agreed to a scparation.
