day and took from them their dar-
ling little girl, Velma Elizabeth, at

rest. Velma was a sweet little girl and
was admired by everyone. We miss
our darling, but God knows best. She
is safe in the arms of Jesus where
there is no suffering and pain or
death, and bye and bye we will meet
our darling little girl who is waiting
for US at the Pearly Gates. Don't
grieve, father or mother, she is not
dead but sleepeth. For God says,
Suffer little children to come unto
Me-"
AS we travel down through life,
our precious loved ones leave US and
pass to the other shore where parting
comes no more.
Burial took place Friday at Will
hanson. A large crowd attended the
funeral. The parents thank all who
assisted them during the illness and

 President and Mrs. A. T. Hadley are expected to return to their sum- mer home, Snake Rock farm, this week. They have been visiting their son. who is a member of the Con- necticut militia now at Tobyhanna, Pa.
 Traffic policemen are needed greatly for the Dayton street detour while the Center bridge is being built. Last Sunday afternoon and evening when hundreds of automobiles passed through Sandy Hook it was a common snght to see as many as six ma chimes line up at either end of Dayton street bridge, awaiting a chance to pass over. Frequently drivers from opposite ends took chances of col lision on this narrow guage bridge in their eagerness to get across. Many close calls were noticed by the resi- dents in that part of the village all day Sunday and the latter are getting nervous about 1t.

SMALL CEYSERS

 CAUSE COMMENT
Air Escaping From Under ground Chambers Makes
 Turmoil on Surface.

Large areas of air-bubble and near geysers appearing north and south of the Stratford avenue bridge during the last few days have caused great concern on the part of the public crossing the bridges, water company ocials, motor-boat owners and oth- CTS.
 The unusual phenomena at first was believed to be due to underground streams tapped in the excavating work for the new bridge piers and in view of the great distance from the scene of work it was feared that they might damage conduits of the Bridgeport Hy- draulic Co. and the Connecticut Co.,, which traverse the river bed from load station.
 Engineers of the Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins Go. in charge of the bridge construction, assert that irrespective of the great force exerted by the up- ward flow of water the pressure is not sufficient to damage conduits or to misplace the present bridge founda- tions though it will be impossible to check the disturbance until bed rock has been reached in the easterly cais- on now being sunk.
 The disturbance of the water Is caused by escaping compressed air. which has been forced into the locks at pressure about 50 pounds to the square inch. The distance of the bubbles from the present structure is said to result from a gravel strata that underlies the silt of the river bot tom. The high pressure seeking the lines of least resistance has followed the coarser strata of gravel and found the lighter top-coatings of mud and silt where it rises. One of the larger disturbances is found just below the Stratford avenue bridge and between the bulkheading of the east and west government channels through the bridge. Another is far north of the bridge structure.

CLOUDS APLENTY
 IN JULY, REPORT .0F VIM. JENNINGS
Weather Observer Says Month as Whole Was Slightly
 Cooler Than Usual.

The outstanding feature of the July report of William Jennings. who for AT years has been keeping track of the weather conditions in this city, is that there were only five clear days in the whole month. There were 16 partly cloudy and 10 cloudy days. Hottest of all was the last day of the month, last Monday, when the mer- cury reached ss degrees. Humidity made this seem worse than it really was. The record of July heat still remains with 1911, when, one day, the thermometer registered 101 de- grees.
 Two days before the record hot day of July, 1916, was. recorded the coolest day, when the temperature dropped to 54 degrees. The heat average was a trife below normal, July's average being 72 degrees, and the mean tenn perature for many years is 72.4. The greatest daily range of temperature was recorded on the 7th, 33 degrees. July 23 there was a range of 4 de- grees.
 The rainfall was a trff1e heavier than usual. The total precipitation was 473 inches. A good share of this fell with the terrific thunder storm that swept the city on Thurs day, July 13. The rainfall for that storm was 1.7 inches. Thunderstorms were recorded on July 2, 3, g, II, 13 and 27.
 MT. Jennings, who is the author ized weather observer for this city of the United States government. has compiled other interesting figures as to the July weather conditions. The highest barometric pressure was re- corded on the 29th, 30.37. and the lowest was 29.54. The coolest July day in 47 years was recorded in 1899, AT degrees.
