SAMUEL HOUSTON, JR., son Of Gen. sam
uel Houston. former Governor Of Tennessee,
was born in Texas in 1871. The United States
claimed that Texas was portienof the Loni-
siana Territory. purchased Of France in 1903.
Spain did not agree to this claim 81 the United
states. In 1919 the United states, by treaty
with Spain. relinquished all territory west Of
the sabine TIver. as part consideration Tor
| Florida. Texas was annexed 70 the United
states in 1915 by q majority vote Of both
Houses Of Congress Samuel Houston. JT., Is

gally hold the Office Of President Of the United

SOME excellent photographs. recently taken,
| Of the principal yachts in New York Bay,
| have awakened considerable interest in the
breasts 81 marine painters. The time re-
| quired for each reproduction was One-sixtieth
| Of a second. and although the yachts in many
cases were sailing fast. with all canvas set,
there is no trace Of blur in the photographs.
| The science Of photographing IN colors seems
| to be a pseudo one. The engTaVer at err
| sailles, who recently claimed to have dlscoy-
| cred il anew. has been shown up as fraud.
| His process was not photography. but secret
| method Of colOring the paper upon which The
4 negative was printed. 1t thus differed not
| essentially from several well known processes,
| whose owners make no mystery Of them.
