THE MYSTERY OF THE TIDES.
One of the most extraordinary phenomenons
in Nature is the rise and fall of the tide-wa
ters. People who reside where they can witness
this living. breathing evidence of life in the
vast ocean are generally‘regarrlless of the
wonderful exhibition; those who live away 1
from the sea—shore seldom think about the mat- .
ter at all. We select a few paragraphs from a
pleasant writer who has recently gone into the
particulars, and gives us a very clear exposi-'-
tion of what appears. Why it is so, still re
mains a matter of dispute:
~4Jn..,vastnand...pro£99nd Oceans, and ontheir
coasts, the waters rise and sink alternately
twice a day. For six hours or thereabouts,
they rise, spreading over the shores; this is
called the flux, the waters are said to flow, the
tide is rising. For a short space of time, a
few minutes only, they repose in equilibrium ,
neither rising nor sinking, which is termed high
Water; after which they subside again for
about six hours, which is called the reflux, or
ebb-tide; at the end of which period and a
similar short repose denominated low water,
they flow again. And so on, throughout all
time. During the flow of the tide, the waters
of rivers are swollen, and all driven backward
to a distance from their mouth varying with the
inclination of their bed. In rivers that run
through a level country, as the Thames, the
tide mounts a considerable way inland; while,
in mountain streams which rush headlong into
the sea down a rapid slope, the tide may _only
. influence the small portion that lies between
high and low water mark. During the reflux,
the liberated streams re- commence their task of
pouring their contents into the bed of the sea.
The principle on which the theory of the
tidesis founded, is simple; because it is uni
versal in its application, and admits of no ex
ception whatever. No plea, no excuse, can
exempt anything from submitting to its sway.
A few hard words,_ easy to explain and easy to
understand; are the only impediments to its
being readily comprehended by the popular
mind. ' ' ' , ' '
Anaereon’s baochanalian ode, to the e'fi'eot
“the clouds drink the-dew, the rivers drink
the clouds, the: sea drinks the rivers, the sun
drinks the sea, the moon' drinks the'sun; ers
rything in heaven and earth drinks; therefore
why' should not' I drink ?” becomes a rough
description of the system of Nature, as far as
we know it, if, for the word“ drinks,”_ we sub}
stitute “ pulls,” di' “ draws.” The Newtonian
force of Universal Gravitation or Attraction is
believed tobc the law by which the framework
of the universe is held together. Attraction,
which is only a Latin word for “ pulling to,” is
the game which is unremittingly played by
crery‘psrtiole of created nastier. ‘ Ereryinat’erial
body, great or small, attracts everyother mate
rial body. It is a constant struggle which body,
shall annex, appropriate, draw, all other bodies
to itself; in this, the strongest body gains the,
victory- The earth is a hall; an apple on a
tree-top is also a ball; bet if the apple’s hold
'on‘ the‘b'ranch 'be loosened, the big ball soon
pulls-the small, ball to itself, and keeps it, until
some stronger force. than the earth’s attraction
e-such as the arm of aman or thejaw of a hog
_-—robs the earth of the apple it had taken to
itself. ' c
There are two conditions to this law of at
traction which it is necessary to know. First:
The Attractions ex'ertedby a body is directly
proportional to its mass. In simpler language,
the larger and more solid a body is, the harder
it pulls at equal distances. ‘An object's, hun
dred miles away from the Sun, is pulled’much
more violently than the same object a hundred
miles away from the Earth: while ;the pull it
will receive a hundred miles away from the
Earth is considerably stronger thaniit would
experience if suspended a. hundred miles above
the Moon. All this, for the reason-that the
mass'of the Sun is much greater than that, of
the Earth, and the' mass ‘of the Earth much
greater than that of the Moon.
How large is the disproportion of the masses
of the Sun and the Earth, may be briefly men
tioned; they onto each other as the sum of
1,400,000,is to 1. _ The Sun is fourteen hundred
thousand times as big as the Earth. But
abstract numbers impress the 'mind faintly.—
A professor at Angers, in France, wishing to
give his pupils a tangible idea of the compara
tive sizes of the Earth and Sun, set them to
count the number of average-sized grains of
wheat contained in the measure called a. litre
(about a pint and three-quarters.) They found
ten; thousand. Consequently a decalitre (or
ten litres) would contain a hundred thousand
grains, and a hectolitre (or a hundred litres) a
million. A hecotolitro contains a trifle more
than a three bushel English corn~sack.' The
professor then heaped together one hectolitre
and four decalitres of wheat, containing in all
1,400,000 grains. Taking a single grain and
placing it opposite to the heap, he said, "This
is the volume of the Earth, and that is the
volume of the Sun. ‘
The disproportion of magnitude and weight
is much less betwaen the Earth and the Moon
than it is between the Earth and the Sun. In
comparison with the size of our globe, our
satellite isnot so contemptibly little as our
globe is ingrespect to the great centre of the
Solar System; The mass'of the Moon is eighty
four times less than that of the Earth. It
would take eighty-four Moons put together to
make one Earth- To follow out the French
professor’s illustration, if we pile a. heap of
eighty-four oranges, and place a single orange
opposite to the pile, we may say, “This is the
mass of the Moon, and that is the mass of the
Earth.” ’
The exact state of a tide, at any moment: 9‘9
well as the points of high and low watefa may
be known in a seaport town by the contnivance
of a. well having a subterranean communication
with the see, so that the water shell use In it
during the flow, and sink in it during the ebh.
By causing the water to enter a tube of this
kind by a. small orifice, the. agitation of the
Waters without is rendered msensible. Tide
wells of this kind, constructed by M. Chazal
lon, the French Naval engineer, exist at Cher
bourg and at Brest. .The height of the tide is
self-registered by an metrument called a mare
grnphe. ' , '
Although the phenomena ofthe tides be owing
to the action of the Moon and Sun, neverthe
less many peculiarities attending them still
remain imperfectly explained. For instance,
between the tropicsrwith a few exceptions, the
tides are very feeble, although the action of
the V two greetluininaries in . there perpendicular

South’Sea. Islands, therein only "one‘tide per

A correspondent of tha New York Herald,
writing from Butavia, the capital of the Island
of Java, about. which We know comparatively
little, draws the following graphic picture of
the place, which will be found quite interest
mg:
Now about Batuvia and the hotel at which I
am stopping. How many in New York believe
that on the opposite side of the globe, ten
thousand miles nearer the sun, hotels to com
pare with the Orientalmagnificeuce of the New
York hotels can be found? But. such is the
fact. .
Every ,Lhing ,we _see _here is so entirely differ
ent from what I have seen or ever imagined
before, it is hard to tell where or how to begin.
In all the imaginary wilds of speculative fancy
I had never dreamed of any thing to come up
_to or compare with Batavia. The place ap
proaching nearest to it in the East Indies, or
‘in fact, in any part. of the world, is Calcutta,
and that by many is considered not equal to
Batavin.
The hotel at which I am stopping is the
Hotel des Indes, situated in the new, or upper
town, some half dozen miles from the water.—
This is a fair specimen of five or six others
within half a mile of each other. My hotel and
grounds‘cover ten acres. The whole ground.
like the rest of the city, is one immense forest
of trees and canals. The trees remind one
very much of the elms of New Haven. Houses
are placed two or three'hu‘ndred feet back from
the street ; in front the yard is filled with trees,
literally alive with birds, and every variety of
plants and flowers. Every house has a .etoop
or piazza in front, on which, mornings and
evenings, eit beautifully dressed ladies and
children. The houses are white as the driven
snow. In front are bird-cages, elegant'lampa,
beautiful pictures and steel engrnvxngsg hand
some marble top tables, rocking chairs, lounges,
Bm. These axfticles are mostly of French
manufacture of the nicest description. 5 ~
One can ride here for miles on roads as smooth
nan floor, and see nothing difi‘erent from what
I have desoribed. At. night. the city is one
blaze of light from lamps—no gas is allowed.

Meals are serverl up in about the: same style
as at the first-class hotels in New York.
The habits of living are quite difi'erent. At
daylight coffee and tea. are taken to your room;
at eight same, with light refreshments; twelve
breakfast. and at seven dinner. Coffee and tea.
are always ready. day or night, same as baths.
No extra charge—take them or not, as you
please. No business is done in the street in
the middle of the day, on account of the heat.
Nights and mornings are cool and delightful;
birds are singing all night. -
The thermometer stands at about 82° through
out 'the year; it does‘not vary from this two
degrees. The American Consul and one other
are the only Americans in town. The island
of Java contains a. population of 10,000,000;
the city of Batavia 1,80,000‘ There are three
distinct races here—the Malays, Javanese and
Sundanese. All speak ditferent languages,
and neither can understand the other. This
classification does not include the Chinese, of
which there are Several thousand. -

insects of all kinds, but not so bad as Qéylon,
where the average number of persons killed
and carried ofi‘ by tigers from Singapore is one
person a. day throughout the year. There
houses are built on piles fifteen or twenty
feet from the ground, into which the people
retire at night to sleep, to avoid being killed
by tigers. These little huts are entered by
ladders, which are pulled up after entering.
The Java coffee grown on this island. is
equal, if not. superior, some of it, to the best
Mocha. Every kind of fruit—the finest in the
world—is produced here at all seasons of the
year.

Elsewhere will be found a record of the face
that a man was held for trial in the Recorder’s
Court, yesterday, for stealing a wash-tub. The
facts of the case—obtained froma responsible
humanity—are said to be these: The man is a
philosopher. Originally he was a. disoiple'oi
Epicurius, and boarded at one of our popular
hotels until he became troubled with the dys
pepsia. This troublesome disorder Ilpset all
his epicunean philosophical theories,~end he at
once gave up the use of a large oolle‘etlon. of
quack medicines and took to lager beer ans-lithe
\egetarian theory, for the purpose of becoming
a stoic. He succeeded so well with this theory
that he speedily advocated the doctrine of An
‘tiflgsenes, and renounced all pleasures, and
inemtained that abstinence is the highest ob-
Ject of human exertion. Having read of Bi
ogenes and his tub, he was at once impressed
with great admiration for the man, and it is
supposed that it was for the purpose of practi
cally illustrating his philosophical theory: in
imitation of Diogenes. that he purloincd the
wash-tub previously mentioned. As the Re
corder belongs to a. difl'erent school of philoso
phers, he sent the unfortunate disciple of Dl
- to jail.
