been reclaimed from these waste lands, and the
work in that direction is still going on
The work heretofore. however. has been done IN
a desultory manner by individuals, who were con-
tent to reclaim block two at a time and
develop the land their means permitted NOW
the work will be taken up by syndicate on a
large scale. A company has been organized ana
capital subscribed to reclaim hundreds OF acres
within the next few months. and in connection
with this they will introduce picturesque feature
that is expected to attract cottagers back from
the ocean front and to make meadow land as
valuable that along the beach. This feature
contemplates the construction of a canal between
the Inlet harbor and the Thoroughfare. a broad
and deep estuary running between Great Egg
Harbor and the Inlet through which the tides
and through which large vessels may naVi-
gate This broad stream will be bulkheaded at
points where landing stages will be built and
wherever the banks are treacherous- The sand
suckers will be put to work along the stream
and building lots created either side to the
distance of several blocks. The Thoroughfare is
now navigable throughout its length, and is IA
vorite cruising ground for launches ard small
yachts. In its upper end, however, it winds tortu-
ously making the distance between the Inlet and
Ventno miles. By the construction or the
canal this will be reduced half. Some of the
finest cottages and villas that have been built In
this city in recent years line the Thorough
fare along the little stretch that has been re-
claimed and all of them have found ready sale or
rental.
The entire area of the meadows, stretching a
length of miles parallel with the line of the
beach and of an average width Of five miles, is
capabe of reclamation and this would add a ter
ritory available for building purposes equal to
three or times that of Absecon Island, as the
sand bar is called which the city is built
For many years these meadow lands have been
regarded as worthless and until recently it was
hardly known to whom they belonged Their re-
Gently discovered value has disclosed one or two
ronances of fortune. Probably the most striking
one is that of Councilman William Riddle who is

resort of this kind which make them far from
homeke. Some people want all excitement when
they come to a pleasure city like this. and others
want TO rest part of the time. There are hotels
for both sorts and Haddon Hall is for the people
who do not want a thrill every half-hour.
II is rot home hotel in the sense of size, Tor

ing The spirit IF the guests has much of the
frlendiiness of home. Many of them come mere

has Haddon Hall become home. The absence of
large cafes to which the public is admitted and
the fact that the hotel has no barroCm make IL
a particularly pleasant place for women and chill

THE STARRY HEAVENS DURING JULY
Luna Will Have Phases This Month.

Saturn is the most conspicuous actor
on the boards just at present, as he is
in opposition on the 26th, rising just
as the sun is setting, and giving a
look at his mellow-a appearing light
when at it's greatest advantage. The
planet and the two days after the full
moon are in conjunction on the 10th.
On the 18th Mercury and Neptune al
most rub against one another, so close
do they pass on their ways, the former
toward conjunction with the sun, which
point he will reach on the 26th, and
the latter on his way from a similar
experience that occurred last month.
They both are morning stars.
Jupiter is still a morning star and
is working toward the opposition point,
where he will challenge Venus for the
supremacy of the evening sky. Jupi-
ter and the moon are at their closest
for the month on the 18th. but the
moon is rather too much for the planet,
showing too bright aedisk.
Venus on the 9Th reaches her fur
thest eastern point from the sun, and
will then turn toward conjunction with
that body, reaching that point in the
middle of September, some five days
after Jupiter puts in his claim as mon
arch of the evening twinklers. At the
time of her greatest elongation
the planet will be in the constellation
of the Lion, not far from Regulus, the
brightest star of that group, and one
that will serve to mark the planets
movement to the west.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-07-01

In July this year there are five
phases of the moon, one more than is
ordinarily the case. They begin on
the first day of the month with the
phase of first quarter and end on the
last day by repeating this perform
ance.
On the 9th is the full moon, followed
on the 18th by last quartering, while
July's own new moon does not come
until the oath Mars begins the series
of conjunctions in which the moon and
planets are interested by being oc-
Quilted by the earth on the list, the
two appearing as though they touched
each other.
on the Both these two heavenly bodies
will be again in conjunction, but this
time with far greater space between
them than on the first mentioned oc-
casion.
On the 9Th Mars is in quadrature,
or half way between opposition and
conjunction with the same.
Uranus, having just been in opposi-
ton, now ranks as one of the evening
stars, and is in conjunction with the
moon on the 7th being at that time
about degrees to the southwark.
This planet has no other number as
signed it in the programme for July.
