Cambridge, Mass. The gravitational pull of the moon apparently creates tides In the solid earth which change the distance between North America and Europe as much as sixty-thre- e feet, according to Dr. Harlan T. Stetson, visiting professor at the Harvard Institute of Geographical Exploration, and Dr. A. L. Loomls of the laboratory at Tuxedo Tark, X. Y. The effect of such an ea-ttide been could have than expected larger was detected when Doctor Stetson and Doctor Loomls found that discrepancies in astronomically checked clocks In Europe and in North America increased and decreased regularly with changes in the moon's position. Clocks Checked. Clocks are. checked astronomically by comparison with the movement of e stars across the meridian, a running through north and south and a point directly over the observer's head. If discrepancies are found in two clocks, thus checked by the' stars, then the position of either oue or the other of the stations appears to have moved east or west, thus changing the observer's meridian. The scientists discovered that the discrepancies between American and European clocks, at astronomical stations where the checking was done regularly, moved either east or west of their normal positions. When the position of the moon caused both stations to move apart, the average distance between them might be increased by about thirty-twfeet, they found. If the moon caused them to move toward each other, they might be nearer together by the same amount United States time signals checked at Washington are broadcast from the naval station at Annapolis, Md.; English time signals, checked at Greenwich, are hnmdcast from Rugby, and French time signals, checked at Paris, are broadcast from Bordeaux. At specified times, each station picks up the signals of the other two. o Note Discrepancies. Discrepancies noted between Annapolis time signals and those from Rugby were seen to rise and fall with the moon's position. Almost exactly the same curves of rise and fall applied to the transmission between Annapolis and Bordeaux. Rut between Rugby and Bordeaux, no such'rela-ionshl- p was seen. Evidently something takes place over the Atlantic which does not take place between England and France. The two scientists found that when the moon was north of the equator, the continents were about thirty-tw- o feet closer together than normally when the moon crossed the meridian, and that they spread apart until, when the moon's hour angle was about fourteen, the continents were about thirty-tw- o feet further apart than on the average. When the moon was south of the equator, exactly the opposite was true, the 'continents moving together when the moon was crossing the meridian, and traveling apart gradually until the moon's hour angle was about twelve. Catnip Traps Lion Great Falls, Mont Want a mountain lion rug for your parlor? It's easy to get one. Just drag out the old catnip. A trap, baited with catnip, fish oil, anise oil and other scents, trapped one near here. Mr. Mountain Lion sniffed around, stumbled Into the trap now he's a rug. In the barnyard. The trick, however, is worth more to the other horses than It is to Bud. Every time he starts pumping the others gather around the trough and Bud has to satisfy their thirst before he can quench his own. Setter Formerly Known as the Setting Spaniel There seems little doubt that the, English setter was first known as the setting spaniel and was a smaller dog than the setter we know today. With the development of the breed and with, the arrival of the gun to replace the net writes Frank F. Dole. In the New York Herald Tribune, larger dogs were desired and the setter tras perfected. The first comprehensive account of the setter Is found in the writings of John Keys, founder of the college at Cambridge university that bears his name. He wrote a book on dogs about 1570. He gave much attention to span- -' lels, and as a subdivision of tills, breed, he wrote of "the dogge called the set ter, or, in Latin, Index." One portion of this Is of sufficient interest to dog lovers to be quoted, shorn of its medieval spellings. It follows : "There Is another sort of dog, serviceable for fowling, making no noise either with foot or tongue, while It fol lows the game. These dogs attend dll (gently upon their masters, and, from their directions, such as calls, motions! and gestures, such as It may please them to give, either go forward, draw! backward or move ' to right or left When be has found the bird he keeps! sure and fast silence, stopping and,' with close watching eye, lays on the) ground, creeping forward.' As he ap-proaches the place where the bird Is! he lies down and with a mark of his paw shows the place where the bird, is resting, whereby It is supposed this kind of dog Is called Index, or setter,; being indeed the name best fitted to his qualities. The fowler then spreads! his net intending to take the bird.! When this is done the dog, at the ac- -j customed sign from his master, rises, up and draws near the bird, that la startled Into being the author of Its own ensnaring and be entangled In thej prepared net" The setter appears to have been do--! veloped on the estates of country gen-- j J tlemen and nobility In England. Central Asia Secrets Await Lucky Explorers Washington. Only an explorer with four-lea- f clover complex could uncover historic secrets in central Asia. The National Geographic society has reported many "missing chapters" In the history of mankind might be found there by an explorer lucky enough to escape the bullets of bandit hordes, find safety d".ring aa earthquake and dodje a dangerous pestilence. It was pointed out that central Asia is less accessible to a foreigner than the antarctic. Dispatches from Lanchow. western China, reported that hundreds of rolls of musty Buddhist classics recently t were unearthed In the courtyard of a monastery that flourished more than 1,500 years ago. Ruins of the monastery were discovered accidentally by a Taois monk about thirty years ago. a wind-swep- |
