lantic regions it arrives at the same location with re- 

 gard to the Pacific ocean. 



When the sun sinks down so as to bring its rays to 

 bear on the convex surface of the Pacific ocean it lifts 

 the waters off at a tangent. Tending to throw the 

 waters off onto the American continents. The waters 

 necessitating a period to flow toward the continent of 

 America after the lift becomes at its maximum, and 

 in consequence the period of high tide on the coast of 

 America. 



The maximum tide on the eastern coast of Amer- 

 ica is caused by the reflex flow of the lifted waters of 

 the Atlantic, flowing back toward America after the 

 sun has departed, and after the moving waters have 

 flowed to the eastern continents and returned. 



The maximum flow on the western coast of Europe 

 being caused by the lift of the sun when sinking 

 toward the west with regard to the Atlantic ocean ; or 

 the lift of the sun tangentially with regard to the con- 

 vex surface of the Atlantic ocean. 



The maximum flow on the western coast of 

 America, or the Americas, is caused by the lift of the 

 sun on the waters of the Pacific ocean, when sinking 

 in the west. Or when taking a lift tangentially with 

 regard to the exposed convex surface of the Pacific 

 ocean, lifting the waters off toward America. 



The maximum tide on the eastern coastline of 

 Asia is caused by the reflex flow of the lifted waters of 

 the Pacific after expending the rushing movement of 

 the waters of the Pacific against the coastline of the
