Now aviators talk knowingly of holes in the air, atmospherictides, top currents, etc. Not long ago a distinguished British scientist laid before a scientific body in Lon-don some unique facts touching air tides that are not generally known. The moon, as we know, causes the marine tides by its attraction. It draws thewater upon the surface of the earth toward it in a hump on the side that is exposedto the lunar influence, and it draws the earth itself away from the water on the op-posite side, thus leaving a corresponding hump of water. The air, it appears, isaffected in the same way. The atmosphere about the earth rises, falls and flowsmore freely than water, since it is lighter; so the tide comes more quickly in the airat a given spot than the marine tide. This rise and fall, it should be added, meansjust as much to the navigator of the air as the tides of the sea do to the mariner, andit must be taken into account by the aviator who has a due regard for his safety. 1226. j nr
