Infinitesimally small corner of the universe can be in the least suited to form an abode of life Primeval matter must go on trandbrming Itself into radiation for millions of millions of years to produce a minute quantity of the inert ash on which life can exist Then by an almost incredible accident this ash and nothing she must be torn out of the sun which has produced it and condense into a

Marquis James in this delightful book by no means minimises Hous-I tons faults and they were many The Cherokees among whom he lived after fleeing the governor's chair at Nashville called him "Big Drunk" Even before he became congressman prior to the governorships be was a heavy drinker and quite a squire of dames Sig feet six Inches tall remarkably handsome he was a ladles' man at all stops between Nashville and Washington and Mr James hints rather broadly that Peggy O'Neal who became Peggy Eaton and caused Andrew Jackson so much trouble was rather sweet on the Tennessee backwoodsman Sam Houston's people were not "tidewater folks" in Virginia Low birth of course Is a sign of virtue among public statesmen yet we cannot but wish that Sam Houston had absorbed more of the graces of the tidewater folks He never became "tidewater" in all his life Now there were some who towered so high that "tidewater folks" would have fawned at their baste One such dominates this fine biography of Sam Houston It was Andrew Jackson Was there no to which Andy would not go for a Weed? Was there nothing that could shake his belief In a friend? Was there a single thing that would shake his love for a friend? Nothing but death He chose Sam Houston as one of his young men He made Houston congressman He made him governor He would have made hint president but for Houston' resigns tion from the governor's chair With Houston living among Cherokees in Arkansas there was nothing for Jackson to do but make another of his young men James IC Polk president Th) story of Sam Houston's resignation from the governorship of Tennessee le one of the strangest episodes in American history He had married Eliza Allen an aristocrat shortly before She was but 111 years old daughter in a family which ruled the countryside around Sumner county She might have bad a boyhood sweetheart but the beat bet is that she was strange to love She admired this giant already IS years of age but be was so mature that she was no doubt a little afraid of him They went to the Nashville inn to live and less than two months later Eliza hurriedly moved from the inn and went alone to the house of a friend The state was electrified to learn that the governor and his wife bad mysteriously separated Neither would explain Ugly rumors got out that Eliza had been caught In a love affair This her friends indignantly denied Sam Houston would say SAM HOUSTON Ina Ilkvanl "-'-'-f 13 MAQUISLJAM inthapa BobbaMerrill Coosa' mu- 0-- go I Imbs It ere the moon the planets and tiler stark which are innnite in numII er and all these bodies ruy worlds As soon as Galileo turned his teleope on the Idi lky Way be found that gendtu7 theories concerning It were a t18e ud that It was nothing mon aan a swarm of faint stars As his ilescope swung Galileo found Jupiter ud around it he saw tour Small bodies ireling-- This corresponded to the Con micus theory at the solu System by watching Venus and Merury proved that the planets revolved round the sum sir James shows that astroomical discoveries are not always made rough the telescope For instance eptune was disocvered through marelous scientific) computation Credit )r the finding of Neptune is given to Adams professor of astronomy at ambridge and Leverrier a young 'rench astronomer Botit observed trange actions of the gravitational ull of the planet Uranus They sus' ected that another and unknown tenet Must have caused such raga' tee Both scientists with mathsistical accuracy told the 'world of lance where a new planet ought to or Science promptly located Neptune The author discuses the secrete of is atoms In order to reveal the secrets the universe One of the great us is the existence of life on nrious ') it ere I the stare 11 en and al won ope on th I igendary I a I de and I it ant a Inn viescope SI ud around noting micus tt by try provet round the sir Jams omical die rough th eptuno vn elous sole' i the tint Adam ambridge 'rench asi trange act ull of the ected tha tenet taw teL Both latical "me lance whe Scienc I' The auth le atoms II the untie ma hi the nothing Ile was not above by his silence letting tho public think Eliza to blame He wrote his resignation However be refused to say a word agatnet bor He left the capital and journeyed down the Cumberland and Ohio to the Slissiest-opt where he went to the tribe' with which he had lived much of his boyhood The Indians welcomed him especlally his foster father Chief 0o1oo-to-km of the Cherokees and years later Houston wrote When I lay myself down to sleep that night I felt like a weary wanderer returned at tut to his father's house" Not until months later did something come out about the quarrel between the wife and Houston There have been many theories and the data in the present authority is not fully authenticated But it arv pears to this reviewer that on their very wedding ntght Houston began to show jealousy because of his ivife's alleged "coolness" And she but a 19-year-old girl somewhat awed by a distinguinhed husband! He chided her about not loving litm Later the same thing occurred On his return from a campaign trip be again accused her of not loving him and possibly of loving another It is said he might have seen ber reading some letters from a boyhood sweetheart The best bet is that be found her eool against a man who had always had his way with women and that he Quarreled so violently that Eliza limply left him It was revealed at any rate that Houston went to see her and "'with tears in his eyes" begged her to come back to him This she refused In view of the diesoluto life Houston bad been leading and his many affairs the impression Is unmistakable that it was be and not Eliza Allen who really was to blame In later year after be bad been living among the Indians with an Indian mistrees Eliza realized she loved mit him but Houston had cooled 1 Houston In Washington was a line lieutenant for Jackson His amtuiInv caning of Congressman Manbort and the trial in congress his surprising

shipped at New York for the trip to 'Frisco always signed on for the round trip and were not paid until the ship returned to New York If the crew deserted in a body at San Francisco the owners were limply money ahead: and in turn if the crew that shipped in San Francisco deserted at New York no wages need be paid for the entire voyage Thus the brutality was partly a matter of cold business: men were driven to desert se that expenses could be kept down and captains and mates often shared in the money thus saved Russell's book le Intensely intereathg from beginning tq end and this reviewer Is
