Death of John Jacob y&ster.

The second son Of John Jacob Aston, tho
millionaire, died in New York last Friday,
in the Goth year Of his age Since his 18th
year he has been Of feeble intellect, owing
10 fall upon his head at that time. The
Tribune says
The deceased, whose name was John
Jacob A,tor, was occasionally to be seen
upon the streets under the care of an at.
jondant, and two years ago he was sent to
Europe in the hope OF recovering his failing
health, y good many years ago his father,
after vain efforts to effect BIZ, restoration,
built on Fourteenth street, near the North
river, a mansion for his accommodation, 49,
1t occupies Que entire block, aud is SUI.
rounded Ivy q high fence, TO prevent prying
and curious eyes from seeing the movements
of the occupants. On the death Of the ia.
tier, one Of the principal items in his will
was a provision intrustiDs the younger John
Jacob to the care of a physician i'll whom
he placed implicit confidence, and settling a
handsome income upon the Fourteenth
street mansion. His brother the intensely
active business man, VIM. b. Astor, has.
ever since his father death, neglected moth.
ing that could amelorate the condition OF
his unfortunate relative.
The father Of these Astors was one Of the
most energetic and successful of what is
called ''self made men He was the son
ola German peasant near Heidelberg, and
sailed for Baltimore in 1888, taking Will,
him few hundred dollars worth Of musical
instruments to dispose of on commission. -
He became acquainted on the voyage with a
furrier, who advised him to exchange his
musical instruments for furs, which he did
and from this began his systematic aeyotion
to the fur trade which he conducted with
such extraordinary sagacity, enc.gy and
success that, when he died, IN 1913, his FOR.
tune was estimated at 800, 1000, 900, at that
time the largest sum ever accumulated by
individual enterprise in America. The in
creasing value of the real estate hcqucathed
by Mr.. Astor to his sons, aud careful man
agemcnt, have Of course greatly enhanced
the fortune they inherited, though none Of
them have given evidence of wonderful talent
for accumulation.

The Human voice.

Dion BOuclcaUlt, commenting on the
Albert Hall of Science and Art in the Pm
Nall gazette, says
"The human voice, when speaking with
clear articulation and supplied from good
lungs, will fill 100000 cubic feet Of air pro.
yided they be incloscd in a proper manner.
and the voice placed and directed adyanta
geously. The same voice singing can fill,
with equal facility, 6oO,oo0 cubic feet. -
When singing, the vowcls are principally
used, because it is necessary to dwell! upon
a note, and we cannot prolong a consonant.
In speaking on the contrary, We depend for
articulation on the cousonants but their
short, persuasive sound does not travel. -
When we shout, or in open-air speaking,
which partftkes of shouting. we prolong the
vowelS, drawing the syllable of each word
but what we gain in sound We lose in clear.
ness Of articulation expression is lost in
monotony, because It's finencss depends nnon
the infinite variety Of which ;hG uonsonant
is capable and bestows on the vowel. Two
thousand voices, singing or speaking togeth
er, travel no further than one voice. They
may fill a certain area more completely with
that intricacy of waves which, when very
troublesome. we call din but each voice
exerts its own influence on the air according
to its power, and dies away within certain
limits, A second voice acts independently,
and produces lis own separate effect, not
terrifying the first, but distinct from it, And
so with any number of voices say 10000
shouting together, if a single trumpetcr were
placed among them, the note of the trumpet
would be heard clearly at . distance where
the Babel aI voices would have expired in
a murmur Yet, among the din produced
by the 10, 900 voices. the trumpet would be
inaudihIc, To illustrate this theory more
clearly. it is plain that 2ooo persons cannot
throw stones further than one person; il is
true that the air within certain limits will
be more full of stones, hut they will alIcome
% tho ground within p limited area. +"

A Hundred Years from Now.

The surging sea of human life
Forever onward rolls,
Bearing to the eternal shore
Each day its freight of souls;
But though or bark sail bravely on.
Pale Death sits at the prov.
And few shall know we ever lived,
A hundred years from now.
Oh, mighty human brotherhood,
Why hcrcely war and strive,
While Gods great world has ample space
For everything alive?
Broad fields, unculturcd and unclaimed,
Are waiting for the plough
OF progress, that should make them bloom
A hundred years from now.
Why should we toll so earnestly
In LIES short, narrow span,
On golden stairs to climb so high
Above our brother man?
Why blindlv at an earthly shrine
Our souls in homage bow?
Our gods will rust, ourselves he dust,
a hundred years from now.
Why prize so much the worlds applause !?
Why dread so much It's blame?
\ ilccting echo is lis voice
OF ccn,ure or of fame;
The praise that thrills the heart, The scorn
That dyes with shame the brow.
viii be as long-iorgottcn dreams
\ hundred years from now
Earhs empire rise and fall. O Time!
Like breakers on thy shore,
They rush upon thy rocks OF doom,
Are scon-and seen no morc
The starry wilderness of worlds
hat gem night radiant brow
VIII light the skies for other eyes
y hundred years from now
o Thou, before whose slecplesS eyes
| he past and future stand
An open page, like babes VIC cling
10 thy protecting hand:
Change sorrow, death, are nonght to MS,
If VIC may safely bow
Beneath the shadow OF thy throne.
