The unicorn was one of the tabled

ing to summary of the opinions of
several of the old time writer's, beast
about the size of a common horse, but
with very short legs. The people of the
middle ages believed in the existence
of three kinds of unicorns-the mag
n1dcent white unicorn, which had a
purple face and blue eyes and sin
gle horn yard ian length; the eglis-
Serion, which resembled a gigantic
deer and had a very sharp horn grow
ing from the middle of the forehead,
and the nonoceFos, or common uni
corn. The white unicorn's horn was
of three different colors-whfte at the
lower part, black as ebony in the mid
die and red at the point. Common uni
corns were said to have had horns
about eighteen. inches In length. but

TAFT WON'T ACT UNLESS
CONDITIONS ARE INTOLERABLE

Washington, Feb. 13-Upon PreSi-
dent Taftss idea of what constitutes
an ssintoierabRe condition in Mexico
depends intervention by the United
Sta3ea..
Official Washington, today, believ-
ed the Executive would hold such a
condition had arrived under the fol-
lowing contingencies:
If anarchy continued to spread in
Mexico City
If demands Of the American Anabas-
sador continue to be ignored.
If some foreign power intimates that
it will intervene If the United States
does not,
If the Madero administration fails.
If the rules and principles of civi1iz-
ed warfare are dksregarded-
If communication between Washing
ton and Mexico City is out off
If there is an outbreak OF anti
American or anti-Eoreign sentiment re-
sultfng IN loss of life.
It wes pointed out, today, that at
least three of these contingencies had
already arisen.
But president Taft is extremely an
xioI1s TO avoid Intervention He is
hopeful that either Diaz or Madero
viii win a decisive victory and that
some sexnb1ance of government viii be
restored at the capital. Continuance
of the present condition in Mexico city
of itself is almost sufficient to force
intervention.
The belief was general here. today,
that President Taft would put the
whole situation up to Congress.

ANOTHER ENCOUNTER
Both Sides Prepare TO Renew Clash
of Arms in Mexico City Today.

Mexico City, (vta Galveston, Feb
l12-After sleep1ess night dhIled with
apprehension of further cannonading,
the city at dawn was confidently ex-
pecting another fierce encounter be-
tween the MaderisHs and the Ddaz
forces which may settle the revolution
suInTnarily.
During the night the federals
brought up considerable additional
heavy artillery. It was placed be-
hind barbados and entertainments In
the streets and trained on the citadel.
While this was going on Ddaz was
busy.
The entertainments of the rebels
were in the direction of the national
palace andDiaz, too, brought into po-
sition additional artillery
Estimates of the dead in yester-
days fighting varied from 200 to LOCO.
Americans thought the larger est
the casualties was gorne by the
federals. The rebels lost few men.
D1az being authority for the state
nent that only 20 of his men were
killed.
The wounded Americans were said
not to be fatally injured and all
Americans who desired it were given
shelter in the embassy.
Madero was in possession of. the ma
tional palace and declared that he had
1000 men. Federal outposts camped
streets near the palace for distance
Of several blocks.
General Diaz occupied the piazza
and two huge buildings in the western
part Of the city known as the citadel
Madero was authority for the state
ment that the rebels mum bered only
800
There was a. report that Madero had
cut off the water supply of the citadel
but Diaz denied this and said that
anyway he could get plenty of water
+ Conditions in the city, today, were
chaotic. Some dead still lay in the
streets and wounded were housed in
many private residences where the red
cross attended to them as well as
their equipment would permit.
Food was at a premium and it was
said that the city faced famine. There
was no milk and bread to be had and
other foodstuffs were hard to obtain
Hotel fare was meagre and many
strangers

which were cut, yesterday, We're re-
stored, today, but the authorities re-
fused to accept commercial messages.
1T was r5IInored, but not verified, that
railroad lines into Mexico City are be-
ing torn up in places.
The fighting here, yesterday, was
without precedent in modern warfare.
Never before were powerful and long
range guns used where only few city
squares separate the combatants

a Wonderful Gun.

Since The Introduction of gunpOwder
as pPopellant and the general Use of
firearms In warfare and hunting there
has bean a more or less insistent de-
mand for mechanisms that would give
the soldier or hunter number of shots
at his command without reloading and
enable them to be rapidly discharged
The first patent for flrearm of this
description seems to have been issued
by the British patent office in 171S to
James Puclkle, a citizen of London, for
a gun mounted upon a tripod, having a
single barrel and a revolving cylinder.
Strangely enough, one OF the claims set
forth in this patent appears almost YER
batim 135 years later in a patent taken
out by RolIin White, an American in
ventor of a revolving pistol. Another
curious claim of the patent was: THE
mechanism permits the use of square
bullets against the Turk and round bull
let's against Christians. Moreover, SO
great is the rapidity of fire that ships
armed with the gun cannot be boarded
by any attacking force."-S. J. Fort in
Outing.
