During the summer months he arpse at fonr oclock, and, accompanied by his son John, who was his secretary, would hustle down to the Potomac and indulge in a good swim for an hour or two, while Mrs Adams was overseeing the preparation of a good breakfast for them. When It became too cold for swimming he remained in bed until six oclock, and would then take a brisk walk up to the capltol and back be. fore breakfast V Adams was a great student of as-- , tronomy, and had a telescope on the roof of the White House so that he could study the heavens at night.
