The Tide Gauge at St. John, N. B. 



In 1892 the Dominion Government erected a tide gauge at 

 St. John. Gauges have also been erected at St. Paul Island, 

 Belleisle, Father Point, South-west Point (Anticosti) and Halifax. 



The gauge cohimn at St. John is situated in the south-east 

 corner of the Reed's Point Wliarf (latitude N. 45° 17', longitude 

 W. 66^ 4'). The timber shaft contains two tubes, one of which 

 is used for the eye observation gauge, and the other for the Sir 

 Wm. Thompson self-recording gauge. 



It is proposed to operate this gauge for nineteen years (a 

 lunar cycle). A bench-mark has been cut on the south-east corner 

 of the Custom House. The clock plate of the self-recording gauge 

 is 36*95 feet above zero on the eye observation gauge, and 23 "03 

 feet below the bench-mark on the Custom House. 



The establishment of the St. John gauge is of interest to 

 geologists, as observations for a series of years would provide 

 data for detection of earth movements. — S. W. K.
