The first of the eight big Sundays was even bigger than l expected. Saturday night's arrivals were more numerous than owners of hotels look ed for, and the excursion crowds on Sunday were 20 per cent bigger than on the corre sponding day a year ago. It was a de lightful day, with a southerly breeze mak ing the heat bearable. A big crowd enjoyed the ocean, but few went beyond the"1 lino of breakers Tho Gulf stream has again re turned, warming tho ocean, so that even the most timid bathers were not chilled nor frightened out of their dally bath, ELKS GIVE PAItADH. The city has been alive with visitors from the Shrlners' and Elks' conventions, held j last week In largo cities many miles from here. Visitors from afar could not reslil I the temptation of spondlng a few days In the most-noted seaside resort In tho coun try, so this place was Included In tho Itln- erarles. On Saturday night the New Or I leans Lodge of Elks gave a parade on the I Boardwalk, with a band of 40 pieces nnd a long string of members and their ladies. The procession was greeted with cheers by I the crowds on the walk as oory one noted the big majority of women In tho line, farm wagon rides are getting to bo tho i fad, no longer being termed "straw rides," inasmuch as the price of that commodity ' has made tho uso of hay or rugs compul I cory. Young people love to uso these primi tive conveyances, springloss and not com i fortable oven on good roads. Tho usual program Is to mako a tour of tho residen tial avenues, the members of tho party all I singing or tooting horns, and then to go a . short distance Into tho country for a suppor ' and dance. J Business men hero cater to the fair sex In every way possible Whims and fancies I are looked after so that milady may bo Induced to part with her money. Tho feminine fancy for knowing exact weight ' is known to many business men, so many scales are in position at different points on tho Walk. Tho habit of getting weighed I grown on a person, so many people Indulge I in tho pastlmo every day. Knowing I that many object to having their weight i known, tho practice now ii to mask tho i beam of ail scales so that no ono but tho ' ono getting weighed can get a glimpse at i the oxact weight. Tho figured arc placed on a' card and given to tho customer so that It can be concealed If so desired Minnow helps scale. The owner of ono scale has attracted the bulk of tho trado from women visitors here by installing a mirror nn tho top of his weighing machine, placed at such a height that any woman may got a gllmpso of her hat while she is finding out how much she I has gained or lost Tangled locks and hats that havo been set awry by ocean, breezes ' may be adjusted quickly, and even a little extra dab of powder may bo put on the noso without any ono being tho wiser. Pollyanna in tho fitting name selected by a fashionable set of Philadelphia for the cot they nr to endow In tho Children's Seasldo Home. Tho gladnesi this will bring into tho lives of many poor children will not bo any greater than tho gladness of tho contributors to tho fund. A number of eooial events havo been planned for this fund nnd two are to bo given this week. It is hoped that enough money may bo raised not only to support a cot, but possi bly to build ono of tho little cottages which are so useful at that institution. The postofllco here, which Is Inadequate during tho summor rush. Is to bo Improved. Sixty thousand dollars has been appropri ated by Congress for tho purposo of more ground and the enlargement of the present building. The mall business increases 1000 per cent (n tho summer and tho cramped quarters havo kept tho employes from cot ting mall out on time. Word also comes from Washington that $25,000 has been marked In the next appro priation bills to be used for the dredging of the Inlet here. It Is firmly believed by many of the residents that this city will eventually become a port of entry, and that In a few years a ship canal will be cut from here to the Delaware niver, giving ocean liners a chance to reach Philadelphia by a much shorter routo than by way of tho Delaware Bajj. SUFFRAGISTS TO RALLY , UNDER CIRCUS TENTS Appeals for the Cause to Be Made at Fairs HARRISBURG, Pa., July 17. Suffragists of Pennsylvania have decided to enter the field of the "Big Top."

If the discovery of how to produce cold light ns announced from Paris by M. Dussaud Is a fact. M. Dussaud says he hns discovered what has long been sought by Inventors and scien tists In every civilized country, namely the secret of how the lightning bug nnd tho glowworm produces their perfect light. If this discovery Is nil that Is claimed Its re sults will bo revolutionary, according to sclentlflo authorities. , Tho best Incandescent elcctrlo lamp of today can only turn 18 per cent of tho electric energy It receives Into light, tho other 85 per cent, is turned Into heat and waste An expert In Edison's establish ment speaking of M. Dussaud's discovery says that If all tho energy of the electric current can bo converted Into light ono small dynamo would light a whole city Dr. Horace Clark Itlcharda. of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, said ho had seen several announcements of M Dussaud's dls; covory, and, whllo ho could not eay whether or not It waB true, yet It was quite pos sible. In commenting on the statement of the Edison expert. Doctor nichards said It nil depended on tho size of the city to bo lighted nnd on the size of tho dynamo. Thoro aro cities ho said of 6000 or 8000 which no doubt could bo lighted with a Bmall dynamo If nil the energy could bo converted into cold light, for It all tho energy Is transformed Into light It natu rally would bo cold. Tho -mercury tubes Invented by Hewitt nnd the Wclsbach Incandescent mantle. Doctor nichards says,como nearest to tho quality of cold light, but In both of these a great deal of energy goes Into heat. Whero tho Philadelphia Electric Com pany has recently Installed a 30,000 kilo watt nnd a 36,000-kllowatt generator to light tho city, if M. Dussaud's discovery Is a inct, tneso generators would light a city five times the size of Philadelphia or flvo cities each tho size of Philadelphia, ac cording to ono lighting engineer. This discovery might not only mean much, cheaper electric light, but by tho total elimination of tho heat rays would bring a most wolcomo chango In tho tempera ture ofofilces and planti whero it is ncccs- sary to keep electric lights burning nil the time tneso days with tho thermometer soaring among tho SO's.
