And how comes the contrast. After having

UP his position here and bought stock farm

A Texas Battle.

The ,Xdtcsmna, OF Austin, Texas,
gives the following account Of a des-
perate affair which occurred recent
~ on Braton creek, in Travis conn
ty, in that State. "B. II. Fairchilds,
acting constable, Ed Kelley, Bunyan
Daniels, and William Wallace, all
citizens of that vicinity, started TO
arrest some parties who had stolen g
hog, and who were also suspected Of
being In the community for the pur-
pose of stealing horses. They had
been in camp on Barton two or three
days, and in the meantime had kill
ed hog to replenish their commits
sary department. The gentlemen
above named rode up TO the camp
about daylight in the morning. The
men were up and standing by the
fire. After the usual good morning
was passed, Mr.. Fairchilds said,
consider yourselves under arrest,
when one OF the party instantly
drew a shooter, and as he remark
cd for what?' blazed away, when
the firing became rapid and general,
and the battlefield covered with the
dead and the wounded almost before
any one had time to consider the
situation. Two OF the thieves,
named William, were killed almost
instantly, and the other thief, who
gave his name as g. w. Baker, was
shot in tho side and MORALLY woun-
ded. Mr.. ED Kelley was also killed
ON the spot, and Mr.. Fairchilds re-
received mortal wound, while
Messrs. Wallace and Daniels had
tho good fortune Of escaping injury.

exists at any point behind the body
as at the plane.
A shadow is oily a portion of space
in which there are no light yibra-
tions, and consequently Its intensity
varies with the Intensity Of the
source Of light. The feeble candle
makes very faint shadow, whose
outlines are not well defined, while
an intense light, like the electric
lamp or the sun, makes very black
shadow, because the contrast be-
tween the Illuminated objects and
those in darkness Is very great. In
open sunlight, indeed, the diffused
daylight everywhere present modi-
fies the intensity Of the shadow, so
that natural shadows do not have
any very marked edges.
The shape of the shadows Is plain
~ the same as the shape of the OBJ
jects casting them, while their size
depends upon the distance Of the OBJ
jccts from the light. Besides, when
the light is smaller than the body
the shadow constantly increases in
size.
The connection Of shadow with
eclipses deserves special notice. The
sun is the luminous body, and is
many times the size OF the body cast
ing the shadow. Lines drawn tan
gent to the sun and the Opaque body
determine the shadow, which is now
cone. When one Opaque body
moves into the shadow ofanother all
the light is cut off from it and II is
eclipsed, while the sun is hidden
from IL and is also eclipsed.
The light that falls on the illumi-
mated side of an Object is reflected
from IL in all directions. This ena-
bles us to see the object from any
point, and, combined with the shad-
ow, enables us TO judge OF Its shape
and size. 1t also produces the diff
fused light of our rooms. Without
| It objects could be seen only when In
direct sunlight, and our rooms would
be totally dark except when the suns
rays entered them, while the con-
trast between light and shade would
be almost insufferable.
A perfectly smooth surface reflects
light only in single direction. This
gives an image Of the object which
emits the light and forms a plain
mirror. A perfect mirror would be
invisible, and would only show the
light placed as far behind 1t rs the
light is In front Of 1t. But none OF
our mirrors are perfect, and all give
sufficient difIused light to be seen
readily. A curved mirror is only an
infinite number OF plane mirrors
combined SO as to reflect all the light
to II single point. Curved mirrors
are applied to rejecting beam OF
light to illuminate the track In front
Of locomotive, when the inside OF
hollow cone is used, and To collect
the rays Of light from distant OBJ
ject, as in the rejecting telescope,
when tho mirror is a hollow sphere.
The laws of reflection are the same
for all cases, and apply only to each
ray by itself. They arc two in num-
Der.
/. Tho incident ray, tho perpendic-
ular TO the surface at the point where
the ray meets it, and the reflected
rays are oil in the same plane.
2. The angle between the incident
ray and the perpendicular. called
the anglo Of incidence, equals the
angle between the perpendicular ana
the reflected ray, and is called the
angle of reflection.
