34 THE OCEAN.
there also it is the mass of water in which the tides have the fullest
swell, that is to say, the Pacific Ocean, which has the highest level. But
the measurements made on the always unstable level of the sea are very
delicate operations, as one can so easily make a mistake at starting,
through the oscillations of the ebb and flow; and over spaces of many
miles, divided by various obstacles, it is very difficult to avoid slight errors. At all events, it is certain that the surface of the sea, unceasingly
traversed and perturbed by winds, currents, and tides, is not perfectly
horizontal at any point of the globe.
