PHILADELPHIA ON THEBESORTS REVIEWS THE GROWTH OF THEM AND GIVES RESUME ON RAILROAD FACILITIES. The railroad companies Whose lines reach to the various shore resorts of Aouthwn New Jersej are already planning for the "increased business tfiey expect in the approaching years Few persons stop to think that theet resorts are in their infancy and thai virtually the entire coast ris constant ly sending its citizen? to the side o1 the ocean for r summer homeIt has not been many years smci Ocean City, Wildwood, Cape May, Sei Isle City, Stone Harbor and othe resorts were reached only by the line of the Pennsylvania railroad- .With In the recollection of men yet younj • there was a dme when* Atlantic Cit: • could be reached only over the roa> of the old Camden, and Atlantic Rail s road from the ferry at the foot o Vine street, Philadelphia, and train left from the station at Cooper Point- / • Then came the narrow-gauge rat the narrov^gaugv ■<"

road, ofen' called the "narrow escape . railroad because of the many accidents- This afterward became the line of the Reading company. The ' Pennsylvania company later aoquired. control of the West Jersey Railroad, and built a spur from Newfleld to I Pleasantville and Atlantic City- This | is now the Pennsy's electric line. _ As late as in the nineties both of the Pe'niisy roads to Atlantic City, via Egg Haiior and Kewfield, were single-track affairs. Then the Reading bought' up the road of the defunct South Jersey Railroad from Window Junction to Sea Isle City, Ocean City and Cape MAy and there was real competition, for this gave the Reading direct lines to those resorts, but the Pennsy later, in some way, never quite made public, acquired the right to use the Reading tracks from WhiNow Junction southward, and thereby shortened its. route to " Ocean City, Sea Isle and Cape May. But it is the resorts themselve? that are wonders for growth- /One has merely to look at the dates when they became summer resorts to fully, realize how young are some of these \ shore cities. Not much over sixty years ago Atlantic City -was an uninviting collec- ^ tion of sand dunes, among which several salt works were built- In 185b, • the land was divided into streets and lots and trains ran there, first on July 1, 1854But Atlantic. City is old m years compared to the cities to her south, for in 188(1 Peck's Beach, fth whicht 1880 Peck s Beacn, gn wnw.m

Ocean City now stands, consisted of ' only one house. It was not until 1884 that Oceaj < City was organized as a borough, and not until 1897 did it become a city- j There was no railroad to the resort until 1884. Persons "who wanted to go to Peck's Beach came over by boat from Somer's Point- Of those who founded the city, there remain now . only the * Rev- Dr. James* ELake. V Doctor Lake and his " father, and brothers founded the resort on Christian. principles,, and -although there have been many attempts to swing it -from its early moorings, Doctor Lake has been able successfully to defend its early traditionk Sometimes, almost singlehanded, has he fought to do so. The result is that Ocean City has become known as a Christian resort and has attracted . persons who wanted their families to summer, in "a Christian atmosphereThe name of Lake will always be remembered' gratefully by tho.se who have learned to care for Ocean City by reason of her moral atmosphere. Certainly, Ocean City, must some day put in some fitting and lasting form a tribute to Doctor -'Lake and- his brothers. As late as 1890, Wildwood was founded by the Baker brothersThere were fifty acres Qf it in woods qnd it was from the "woods that it got its' early , name of WHdwood-by- - thc-Sca. These early trfces were -jhostly pine, cedar, holly, and wild cherry, and some were six fq^ in circumference- *"ln the center of a charming woods was a.lake onjy about three feet «leep and fed by a stream that had its rise less tljan. two miles away. The borough, was incorporated May 1, 1895. w Seas Isle City, which includes all' of "What was previously, known- as- Ludlam's Beach, was laid out in 1880 by Charles K. Ladis and grew rapidly. Landis had founded Vineland as a - -prohibition town and was a prohibitionist, hut he did n of put any Restriction as. to liquors as regards W. Sea Isle City. Of course, Cape May, the oldest chore resort in thp county, "was found-

ed many years bqfore any of these mentioned and was a well-known settlement 2*00 years ago. Aimffnki ■ TAP I ■ I tr

OR PERHAPSVCOLGATE. ; * /' i With .the organization of the Legislature in January there will be shap- > ing up of lines for the election of - next year- A hot fight is looked for ; at the Republican primary oyer the gubernatorial nomination. State seni, ator William N. Runybn, of Union 1 county, will go into the fight with' the backing of State Chairman ; Stokes, National •Committeeman Kean . . and former United Senator Baird. the i South Jersey leader. United States • Senator Edge is expected to back : Senator. William Maekay, of Bergen county. But -since Essex Cbunty will • likely he the main battleground next • year, as jt was this fall, the Edge - forces may concentrate on Colonel , Austen Colgate or City Commissioner 1 Thomas L. Raymond, of Newark. ! Runyon is already in the running and Senator Edge cannot delay much s longer showing the colors of his. fai, vorite in the Gubernatorial racei, , There will be the usual after-elec-

tion gatheringftrf leaders and legislators in the State House corridors on Tuesday- next, to get a line on the prospective organization of the two houses. A very early agreement-is. looked for, as precedent calls for the majority leader in each house being elevated to the presiding officer's chair. This would make Senator William B- Maekay, of Bergen, president of .the Senate, and T. Hafry Rowland of Camden, speaker /of the House, I and it "is said that they each have enough votes already pledged to win. ! the honor. Senator Charles . D- ■ White, of Atlantic county, will likely . be choserrmajority leader in the SenI ate, while a contest is in sight for - {he House leadership between William , Evans*, of Passaic courtty, and. Philip , Elliott, of Essex, the .latter having - the backing of most of the Essex del - a egation- • • - - , , May Repeal Van Ness Act Bills' repealing or amending the e Van Ness net -will be presentedVin a both Houses as soon as chc Legislata uro is organized- The ■ Anti-Saloon .. League is preparing to defend its c child. A. count of noses in the new iV House! is said to show that 31 of the s rtiembers, a bare* majority, are for "dry" legislation, but it is doubtful s if that majority .can "be had against 5. a bill that -will add a jury trial to 5 the Van Ness act- The Senate has it a "dry" mjority, yet that body last - year held up the ratification of {he e Eighteenth Amendment. d It is probable that the Legislature n will await a decision by the highest State court on the constitutionality of it the V&n Ness act before attempting -p to change the law. -Tesf cafes have ;s been argued in Rhe Supreme Cpurt t- and a decision will be handed down. . An appeal to the Court of Errors is >f looked fon "but that final decision J. need not be long delayed- . ,v The people of New Jersey in voting y? dowji the proposed §14,000,000 State institutional loan showed tffitt they do i- not favor piling up a big State debt. .The .defeat of the loaii proposition was not unexpected ^and will jfcit a damper on the movement to commit st the State next year to a §50,000,000 ,1- bnd issue for additional road buildihg.

Within the last few years the world ; been electrified by the vast strides : made in the field of science. by the ere- I ativc chemist." Indeed, within a generation the influence exerted upon the -( etyire fabric of. our civilization from wrthin the laboratory has "been so that wc arc prepared at to accept the oft-repeated statement that we have passed beyond the of machinery and have entered into the more mysterious age of chem- . i What this new. era is to bring forth in the way of scientific discovery rests ' upon conjecture, biJt certainly, the miracles performed in. Jhe last half i century have been sufficient to warrant | almost any expectancy. '■• ■ America has heard that Germany s chemists saved her from an early disastrous defeat, both in the -field and in the matter of obtaining supplies. Without tiie tremendous expansion qf her' plants for the production 'qf nitrates and ammonia from the air by processes developed ; by her great chemists the war, without question, Would have ended years before it didt a result of the exhaustion of Ger-many's-txplosives, if not from the exhaustion of her food supplies because of the lack of fertilizer for her fields. So great,, in fact, have been the accomplishments in the last' few years that scientists now declare that a nation without applied chemistry will be ^fcfefisclcss in war -and laggards in Previously unheard <>f scientific feats have been reported from the laboratory, *but becauseof necessity, they were performctTsoquictly they wet* robbed of their glamor and their trappings of romance' while lesser achieve-' merits on trie field of battle and in the council chambers of diplomats have been hailed by throngs.

The re- '• searcher, in finding in coal tar, not only ■- things of beauty, but remedies for ' most huriTan ills, "has outdreamed the _ " alchemist by transforming a base sub- = sjance into something far more pre- - cious than gold, j From this black, sticky mass he adorns M'lady with colors rivalling e nature its#lf in their barbaric splendor. „ He distils perfumes that equal the jasmine and he makes terrifying gases s that one day will make war unthink- . able.
