J " There fs no reeort vjn thceoeet eeeei ' i to Cape May in natural advantages. Everything combines to xnake it ain- > comparably the b. at health resort in the country. Here ia what was said of our queen city by the State Geolog ; iste of New Jersey, 1888. CAPE.MAYJN WINTER! • 'There is a noteworthy difference in the winter season between Cape May and the other coast stations. It is Been in the difference in the average dailytemperature, which at Barnegat and ^ t Atlantic Citv. ia four to five degrees lower than it ia at Cape May. The i i ii ■ 'AmnArolllfW tlf I H t'H IJ dI&CCS extreme of these places

also runs lower from four to nine degrees. The more southern situation ; of Oafte May haa>omething to do with this higher pverage minimum of the winter. But the Delaware Bay.on the west explains a part of it? The winter winds west and west-northwest points of ilie compass are tempered by the latter and are not so cold as land winds generally. The position of Cape May is more insular than that of Atlantic City or Barnegat. Tlie evenness of its temperature is quite remarkable for its latitude and for our middle Atlaotic coast. In its daily } range it compares favorably with more southern stations in our country. It is warmer than Washington and its mean daily range of temperature is four degrees less than in Norfolk, Va. "The Monthly Weather Review of the United States Signal Office nearly every month gives Cape May as having the least daily r.<nge of tempera ture among its Middle States stations, and the range is nearly as low as that - of Cape Lookout, Nort.. Carolina, and t-7 Key West. New Orleans and Galveston in the Gulf States. The average as there stated for three years is, for Cape May 19°, while that of Key West is 16°. These figures ahow that in the daily temperature of Cape May compares favorably with our most Southern localities. The changes are not generally sudden. CAPE MAY'S FLORA. The report contains also the following about the flora of Cape May. "The milder climate of Cape Mayappears in the character of its flora. In reference to this Dr. N. F. Brit- • ton, of th • Columbia School of Mines, aays : 'Although Cape May has never been botanically explored to the ex- j tent that discoveries already made ) should warrant, yet it has already , yielded a number of species of more » Southi m distribution, so far as is, knowr. is the northern limit of a num- , ber of southern varieties rf plants. The climate report continues : I "It is interesting here to observe | that the isothermal line of 36'' . the, mean temperature of Cape May, runs, according to the charts of the Smithsonian Institute through West Virginia, North Carolina. Georgia, Eastern Tennessee. Missouri, near the parallels of 36° and 37| north latitude. ■ The effect of so hign » temperature in the spring is to produce crops of vegetables and small fruits quite as early as Portsmouth and Norfolk." CAPE MAY IN SUMMER. cart ms i iii ou

Though watmer in winter it is cooler in summer thart places in the uiterior of the country. When the heat in inland cities is almost un- | bearable the cool sou h wind from over the sea makes the air here delightfully cool, and i sures comfort during the day and sound refreshing slumber at night. TfifSMs partially explained by the State Geologist as follows: "In the winter months th# proximity of the Gulf Stream to the Atlantic Seaboard has the effect of elevating the temperature in the vicinity of the Oqean from 40 o 100 per cent., while in 1 the summer the effect its reversed, because of a cold current running southward, between the . coast and the Gulf Stream."
