EFFECT ON AUSTRALIAN TIDES

The secretary of the Department of Navi-gation (Mr. Britton) stated yesterday that, on receipt of the news of the disastrous earth-quake in Chili, arrangements were made in Sydney for an examination of the automatic tide sheet records, in order to ascertain whether the effect of the disturbance would extend across the Pacific Ocean. The examin-ation has not yet been completed, but it is quite evident, from present observations, that the tidal records were appreciably affected,

both in Sydney and Newcastle.
