Dances are much in favor. for the week

there being a touch of September in the
air. a total lack OF humidity and bracing
breezes from The north. Such climatic con-

outdoor sports also. Not day has passed

riages laden with society folk have not
gone over TO the polo grounds opposite the
Rumson Inn 10 watch playing there.
Yachting is engaging much attention and
so is tennis.
The Octagon is having one of the best
seasons the house has ever known. Practi-
cally all the accommodations are engaged

Big Birds on Small Wings.
n Everybody's Magazine

From Fverybodys Magazine
In the attempt to discover some uni
versal law of bird flight scientists have
disclosed concerning a number OF species
a most puzzling paradox. perhaps the
most mysterious of the enigmas that the
subject presents. IT is that in a number
of birds and insects the size of the wings
decreases in proportion TO the incl ease in
size of the body of the flying creature.
The Australian crane, for Instance,
weighs over 300 times more than the
sparrow, but in proportion has only one
seventh the wing area of the smaller
bird.
This curious fact is equally striking if
we compare birds with insects. II the
gnat were increased in size until il was
as large the Australian crane and If
the wings OF the insect were enlarged to
maintain the proportion they nuN bear
to its body. they would be about 100
times larger than the cranes
1t requires 3.62 square feet of wing area
per pound to float the bank swallow. but
to sustain the tawny Vulture. a mon
strous bird in comparison. requires only
IS of q square foot of wing surface a
pound of body. The albatross. weighing
eighteen pounds. has spread uf wing
eleven feet six inches, while the trum-
peter swan. Weighing twenty eight
pounds, has a spread of wing at only
eight feet. The stork weighs eight times
more than the pigeon, but in proportion
has only half as much wing surface.

LONG BRANCH. n. J..'August II. 1907
The general appearance Of Long Branch

ened three years ago to the fact that Long
Branch had entirely passed through its
palmy days and must be rejuyenated il it
were TO continue TO live at all as resort
The truth Is the Branch Is having the big
gest season it has ever known, though of
course. 1t is not the fashion center il once
was.
Spending August at the West End cot
tages are Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore Spear of
Washington and Miss Eleanor Simon Of

Telephones in Northwest Forests

It is entirely probable that the forests Of
the far northwest will soon be equipped
with first-class telephone service. These
Instruments were introduced some time
ago for the use of the supervisors and
rangers engaged in the forestry work, and
this means of communication assuredly
was the means of increasing the sphere of
usefulness of the officials. especially in the
matter of fire-fightrg. where il was pos
sibe to get an efficient force together for
the purpose with the least possible loss of
time and before the flames had made any
great Roadway. These lines are easily con-
structed for the reason that the means
are always at hand for the string on the
wires AS a rule, standing trees are made
use of in the capacity OF poles. Contracts
have been made for 5000 miles OF wire
and other necessary supplies, which will
be used mainly in the forests between Salt
Lake ard Denver. and this will proceed at
the earliest possible moment.

first hove in sight about O'Clock directly
opposite the beach, and after it had passed
several miles to the south the fire had
gained such Roadway as to burn the tow
line apart and the barge began to drift
northward ,again. At nighfall the vessel
was still off the beach, presenting most
fascinating sight until it disappeared in
the distance toward Cape Charles
Last Sunday the resort was fairly over
run with transient and regular visitors. the
event being the special concert given by
the Philippines Band. This organization
numbers forty men. and they dress in
native costume well as use native in
struments and play native airs. The con-
cert was very unique ana evidently pleased
the great throng present. Afterward the
F'ilipinos were entertained at luncheon at
the pavilion.
What has generally been known in past
years the height of the season has come
and gone, yet the arrivals seem to increa Sc
every day. This is perhaps due to the
general inclination to put off visit TO the
exposition until the fall months and as
such has been predicted by almost every
hotel man in this section it seems possible
that the season will last well on into
October Just at present many of the
regular visitors are talking house parties
for the fall and several reservations have
been made for this purpose. Hotel book
fngs also seem to be greater for September
and October than in any year past.
On Sunday evening there an indoor
concert given at the pavilion under the
direction of several of the leading ladies of
the beach's social affairs. The proceeds
were devoted to charity, and those who
