convincing of Boardwalk parades on
Saturday evening and especially Sunday
afternoon. The visitors find the air cool
and clear. with a soft breeze from the
gulf stream blowing of OF the ocean.

Il IL summer time.
About once In a week or two Atlantic
City has gray day with huge rolling
sea and cool air, Just to remind the
jewellers that II Is fall and not summer,
and to give them a sample OF what they
would be encountering in less favored
ATTITUDES. The next day the storm is
gone. the sun shines out on a beautiful
rolling surf. the gulf breeze blows warm
ly and Atlantic City again basks In its
usual good weather.
On the Boardwalk there are q number
OF white flannel suits seen yet. with the
white beaver fur hats which seem to
have taken the eye OF Dame Fashion
How prosperous the season continues Is
shown by the report OF hotels: The Chal-
fonte reported 800 visitors last Sunday
Hsddon Hall $50 and the Marlborough
Bleinheim SOD or more.
The over-Sunday crowd. which Is an
ever-surprising fac. all through the win

last week. There are times during
the middle OF the week when the Board
the end OF the week draws near the con-
slant sound OF the auto horn announces
incoming visitors. and the Friday trains
bring down great numbers of men who
run down TO stay with their wives and
families. or parties OF people arrive for
the week end. so that Saturday night and
Sunday afternoon find the big parade
along the ocean almost filled as I'm sum-

As the good roads OF New Jersey and

so at present.
The title of the paper was ..Recent
Researches on the Determination ana
Heredity of Sex Former Inquiries
said Prof. Wilson. "as to tile manner ia
which sex is inherited have been on the
superstition that sex is determined by
the effect Of external conditions, such as
nutrition. The drift of more recent eyi-
dence has been against this view aud
goes TO show that sex is automatically
determined by the internal mechanism
Of the germ cells. If this be correct. it
appears impossible to modify or control
sex by artificial means
Research has proved that the me-
Chanical basis of sex is so adjusted as
to produce an equal number Of males
and females in the long run, this fact
applying to tie race as a whole. and
not to single families alone. There are,
however. variations from this equal ra
ito. Some Of these notifications have
recently been completely explained by
minute study, but many are still quite
unexplained.
