RECORD OF A TEXAS DESPERATE.
The Graves Of His Victims Were Scattered
From Dodge City TO santa Fe.

The Graves Of His victims Were Scattered
From Dodge City to Santa Fe.
The man who told the story between
the puffs Of his cigar was from Texas.
"Clay Allison's life was a tragic ro-
nance" he began ''Clay Allison was
q desperado. He lived in the Red river
country in the Panhandle His trigger
finger was busiest in the early eighties
His record was 81. He boasted of it
Twenty-one dead men. whose graves

Chunk, bad man, who shot people just
for tho fun of seeing them fall The two
men had no cause for quarrel They
were the prize killers Of the same sec
ton of the country. II was spirit Of
rivalry which made them swear to
shoot each other on sight Their friends
rencounter. They met one night at a
crossroad inn in New Mexico and sat
down at tables opposite each other, with
their drawn six shooters resting on their
laps beneath their napkins. A plate Of
oysters on the shell had just been set
before Chunk, when he dropped his
hand in careless fashion and sent ball
at Allison beneath the table. Quick as

piled A tiny red spot between Chunks S
eyes marked where the bullet entered.
The dead man rolled over on the table
and was still, with his face downward
in the dish Of oysters.
"Allision was a large cattle owner.
He went on drive to Kansas City
once, and while there fell in love, mar
ried and took the woman to his home in
the west to live. A child was born to
them-a child whose face was as beau
tiful as the face of cherub, but whose
poor little body was horribly deformed.
Allison loved the child with the great
love of his passionate nature. In the
babes twisted and misshapen form his
superstitious mind read a meaning as
significant as that of the message which
the divine hand wrote on the palace Of
the king of old in Babylon. God, he
thought, had visited curse upon him
for his sins. He quit his wild ways.
He drank no more. No man ever after
the birth of his child fell before his
deadly pistols. He was completely
changed.

Three Rooms Crowded Into Space Not
Large For One.
For upward of 10 years Portland has
had within its corporate limits one of
the smallest dwelling houses in this
broad land of ours. At first glance it
might be mistaken for playhouse, as
it stands alone in the center of the block
ON Northrup street, between Nineteenth
and Twentieth.
The place has history, and many Of
Portland's residents have made them
selves familiar with it by personal in
quiry and investigation. About 10 years
ago, so the story goes. seafaring man
happened in the northwest portion Of
the city before streets had been opened
and graded, and, struck by the beauty
of the surroundings, determined to build
himself an abode in which to pass his
declining years.
The builder endeavored to make his
home as much like ships quarters as
possible, and in this he succeeded ad-
mirably. The house contains three
rooms-kitchen, dining room and bed
room-and occupies patch of ground
about 10 by IL feet. 1t stands about 8
feet in height. The kitchen is just large
enough to accommodate cook stove and
table, and the dining room is sufficient.
ly large to allow two persons to move

side of the room bright array Of china

itself may be used as table or writing

Changing CoIors of Glass.

In lecturing on the ruby at the Royal
institution, London, recently Professor
John W. Judd, the well known English
geologist, alluded to the changes in color
which certain kinds of glass undergo
when exposed to light. The green glass
panes in the Conservatives at Kew
gradually change through shades of yell
low to purplish hue under the action
of light. Rubies change color in a Gu
rious way under the action Of heat.
Blush rubies turn green and on cooling
regain their original tint The blue
sapphire turns white, and the yellow
corundum crystal becomes green.

Regulations of Temperature.

From the Fortnightly Review.
The power of spontaneous regula ton of
the tempera ture resides in the mechanism
whereby more or less blood is sent TO the
SKIN result of relaxation or of contrac-
ton of its blood vessels When the skin
is heated its vessels relax and contain a
surplus of blood. which, if exposed to or
binary external Influences rapidly becomes
cooler, Heat is in three ways, viz, By radi-
alton, conduction and evaporation, the
amounts given off by these means VARYING
according 10 circumstances. 1t is estimated
that about 40 per cent of the whole amount
of the animal heat passes OFF through the
mteCument
If the skin be freely exposed to cool air
much heat is lost by radiation: if the Air
be dry and IN motion, n still larger quantity
of neat becomes latent by the evaporation
of the water excreted by the sweat glands
Thus it is that under normal conditions,
a rise in the bodily temperature causes a
flow of blood to the skin followed by cool

posed to a current Of air, rapidly becomes
chilled, ard perhaps catches cold. Lower
ing of the temperature, on the other hand,
dimnishes the quantity of blood in the
skin, so that radiation and CONJUNCTION of
heat from the surface are reduced to a
minimum. Evaporation and radiation from

tute another means whereby heat is lost;

sary to do more than notice the fact

INTENSE COLD.
Its Influence On Magnets and Electric
Discharge in Vacuo.

From the Electrical Engineer.
Prof Dewar is making steady progress in
his wonderful discoveries as to the effects
of low temperature. He gave the results OF
his more recent experiments in a lecture
before the Royal Institution, London. The
table was covered with many TASKS OF lique-
fled air enveloped in carbonic acid snow.
He said that he had proved that at abso-
lutte zero metals have the same degree of
conductivity to electricity. however much
they may differ at higher temperatures.
Prof. Gladstone's theory of retroactive in
dices of gases had been perfectly con-
firmed He found that a low temperature
greatly increased the strength Of metals.
Iron at $50 degrees centigrade has twice
the cohesive power ii possesses at an or5i-
nary temperature.
A fully saturated magnet was found to
have its power greatly increased by a re-
duction to -lSa degrees centigrade. Intense
cold has a strange effect on color. Prot

All the well-known phenomena of phOs-
