questions he has judicial mind lie holds the
balance even, as we'll as high. lie has learned
one of the secrets of useful thought-the power
Of taking the other view, the view which is not
only individual but independent the view which

ton, or the natural bent of his mind or the in
Huence Of his studies, might seem to impose upon
him.
You expect. for instance, a historian to urge
upon his readers the value Of history. Mr.. Lecky
does urge it, but he also says this:
Let me frankly express my own belief that
TO many readers OF history the study Is not
unintclligent, a superficial. pedantic, or an in
accurate of history is the source Of very many
errCrs in practical judgment"
The thought is pursued and developed, but
this indication of it is ID sufficient illustration Of
that quality of mind in Mr.. Lecky which is one
Of his chief merits az teacher The attention
Of the American reader may also be invited to Mr..
Leckys exposition of the true nature of the

agree with it,. nor indeed is it altogether new,

the writer has of complicated historical Ques-

elegant and attractive little volume than in the
crowded type of d newspaper report. The reader
may not always be aware of il, but the effect of

1oyy JACOB AsTopS LATEST INTENTION.
HIS APPLICATION FOR A PATENT on RAIN
INDUCER' REFUSED.

HIS APPLICATION FOR PATENT or RAIN
INDUCER' REFUSED.
John Jacob Astor has come forth with new
rain Induced, and he hopes before long TO prove
TO the world tho superiority Of his theory over That
OF General Dyrenfoh Tho application OF his theory
consists OF the pumping or carrying or warm, moist AIR
from the surface OF the earth to high altitude, and
this air. when freed, Will precipitae rain. Mr. Asfor
applied for a patent the invention. bnt the Patent
Office has so far refused TO grant It, asserting that
no mechanical novelty was involved Tile appiica
ton for a patent on another invention, bicycle
brake has however been granted without opposltoh'
The Intention OF the Inventor i not to make money,
but TO crafty his taste for scientific experiments.
With the application for patent on the =" mn
,nducer, Mr. Aston sent a drawing OF an ar-tower
erected Oh high ground. blower OF high power
communicates with the tower by means OF large
air tube The warm, moist air Is driven through THIS
tube to the discharge pipe
Said Mr. Aston: Il have never tried the rain
inducing scheme but II would probably work sue
ccssfuly. The essential principle In my application
was different from that which General Dyrcnforth
cndeavored to establish. lie tried to Induce rain BY
Il series Of explosions, and followed his experiments
with much Interest. My method is TO transfer the air
directly from the earths surface to high level
The Pneumatic Road Improver," another Of Mr.
Astor's inventions will be exhibited In miniature at
the Worlds Fair. Soon after the patent was granted
the inventor offered g. 900 for II. but he refused
TO SELL The improvcr is an Ingenious device for re-
moving dirt from macadamzed roads. An air blast Is
attached to the motive power OF the vehicle. and
when Propelled forward II removes the dust from the
highway.
The CoIcyr Mr.. Astor's little launch. was run all
last summer ut average speed OF about twelve mics
an hour the motive power being a storage battery
Mr. Astor thinks that boats with s0rae bhiterl's Tor
motive power have great future and that the trolley
