tial country home Of Fernclif at Rhine
beck on the Hudson and the whole of
tho blooded horses that he has raised
at his stock farm there. His patent inn
proved bicycle brake Is Of greater Inn
portance TO him mentally than all the
pleasure he can get out Of his steam
yacht Nourrnahal or out OF his member
ship In the riding, racquet and tennis,
country, Tuxedo. New York Yacht and
Vaudeville clubs combined. And his
method of inducing rain is much
greater delight To him than almost
even the addition Of millions upon mil
lions of dollars and hundreds Of other
houses TO those that he has inherited
from his great-grandfathcr, grandfather
and father included.
Perhaps young John Jacob Astor may
change in this particular IS he grows
older, but at the present time-he Is
now in his twenty-ninth year-therc Is
no question Of his burning enthusiasm

Here Mr. Astor handed the writer
the accompanying drawing made by
himself. and which he afterward loaned
for this interview. Then he proceeded
with the following description:
THE volume Of given weight Of air
depends upon the pressure 10 which IL
Is subjected. The smaller the pressure
the greater win be It's volume. Tho
pressure Of the atmosphere a. the
carth's surface Is about fourteen and
thrce-quarter pounds per square inch.
This pressure diininishes with the alti-
tudc. When mass Of air Is trane
ferred from the lower to the upper at
mosphere IL expands by virtue Of the
diminution ofthc pressure and becomes
cooler. The rate at which this cooling
takes place Is about one degree for
every one hundred and eighty-thrce feet
Of ascent. IL the air be dry. and some
what less than one degree for the same
distance II the air be moist. Clouds are

THE OUTBREAK AT ROANOKE

There is general regret expressed that
SO great misfortune has overtaken the
most populous and prosperous city of the
Southwest, the pride of that part of Va.
Her good name has been furnished by
acts of lawlessness and bloodshed, which
have arrested the serious attention of
thinking people everywhere. 1t is true
that the cause which brought about this
resort to violence, was of a nature well
calculated to make even the most con-
with indignation-an aged and respected
lady having been brutally assaulted by a
negro fiend-yet this fact will not excuse
those who, under other circumstances,
are in favor of maintaining the majesty
of the law, which is the bulwark of our
civil and religious liberty. Even those
most active in causing this resort to
brute force, now that they have seen the
AWFUL Consequences VI UucIT ldWltbS COu-
duct, acknowledge that they were guilty
of great wrong. On the other hand,
those charged with the enforcement of
the law at the time of this uprising-the
civil as well as the militar power-have
been severely criticised for lack of
judgment in dealing with such an smer-
gency.
The Baltimore Sun, in an editorial or
this subject, gives utterance to some
plain truths. 1t says in part:
1.-The example of disorder is contagi-
GUS. and even where it is founded on
righteous motives it is apt to lead others
which are not justifable. Lynchlaw is to
be condemned, therefore, even when the
criminal deserves his fate. because it is a
violation of the conventions on which
civilized society rests, and establishes a
dangerous precedent that may lead to
outrages and consequences worse than
the offenses which it is intended to pun
ish. Violence begets violence, and pop
ular passion may easily be converted in
