THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPHS.
To America Belongs the Honor
Prof. Draper's Sister Sat Thirty
y Minutes for Her Portrait.

Elizabeth Flint Wade has an illus
trated paper on photography: Its
Marvels" in St. Nicholas. The author
says:
THE first accounts of this great dis
covery are very entertaining reading
Prof. Morse, the inventor of the tele-
graph. was in Paris when the news
was published, and at once went to see
Daguerre's wonderful pictures. In
describing them afterward, he sale
that moving objects made no impress
sion on the plate; for a picture taken
of crowded boulevard showed it as il
entirely deserted, with the exception
of a man having his shoes polished
The mans feet. he said, were well de-
fined, because they were kept station
airy; but he was without head or body.
for these we're in motion.
ITO America belongs the honor OF
making the first photogra phic por.
trait. the artist being Prof. John
Draper, professor. and afterward the
president, of the University of New
York. His victim was his sister. Miss
Catherine Draper. He powdered her
face, that the likeness might be more
quickly impressed on the sensitive
plate, and for 30 minutes Miss Draper
sat-or, at least, tried to sit-as i'm.
movable as a statue.
''The first class in photography was
formed in Boston in the spring of 1s4C
by Daguerre's agent. Gourad of Paris.
Rev. Edward Everett Hale, then a stu
dent in Harvard. became an enthusi.
astic member of the class. In his
diary, under date of April I, 1910, is
this entry: On my way home
stopped at the shop and got my
daguerreotype thermometer. There
seems to be a great demand; there
were three or four others there"

HOW CANYONS WERE FORMED.
The Deep GullieS Are Due to the Ac-
ton of Rivers Through Count
less Ages.

The secret of the great denudation
and of this wonderful achievement of
the Colorado in carving out of rock
a series of canyons about 500 miles
long, and, in one place at least, more
than a mile deep, with ? multitude of
tributary chasms and gorges, is very
simple, when you know it, says Har-
per's Magazine. The old lake bed
slowly rose. At first the Colorado river
and its tributaries, or some nameless
monstrous ancestor of these, sweep
ing over the slowly rising surfaces,
planed them down in most relentless
fashion, and then began wearing out
broad shallow stream beds. But then
the country rose more rapidly. and the
water had to cut deeper channels in
the rocks in order to get out and away
to sea. Owing in part to the wear
of the water itself, but more to the
ceaseless bombardment of the sus-
pended sand which it bore from the
up country, or picked up as it went
along, and to the thump of pebbles
and powders which it swept on in
food time, the river kept cutting down
as the strata rose. until finally, when
what was left of our inland sea bottom
got thrust up so that, towering far
above its erstwhile rocky shores, it
had to be called plateau, the Colo
RADIO and its auXiliaries found them
selves at the bottom of a series of
colossal canyons and gorges, where
they are to-day.

FLAG OF THE CUBAN PEOPLE.
1t Was First Carried by NarcisO IO.
PES In 1S5O-51-VersiOns ~
to Its Meaning.

The Cuban flag was first carried by
Narciso Lopez about 1S5o-1S51, when
he invaded Cuba and lost his life.
There are quite number of versions
as to the meaning of this flag; one is
that the red equilateral triangle
stands for equality; the white star
represents Cuba, which would gain her
independence through sea OF blood,
and the three blue stripes for the
three departments into which they In
tended to divide the island-eastern
Cuba, central Cuba and western Cuba.
There is another version, that once
about 1850 or 1851 group of Cuban ex-
lies were talking of the new flag that
should be adopted, and trying to get
a suitable design, when one of them
went to the window of the room in
which they were holding their discus
sion and saw the evening star shining
brightly in the heavens, surrounded
by the glare of the setting sun, while
still higher the sky was blue, striped
with white clouds.
The revolutionary flag of Puerto
leo is of the same proportions and de-
sign as the Cuban flag, only the colors
are changed. Where the Cuban flag
is red the Puerto Rican flag is blue. and
where the Cuban flag is blue the Puer-
to Rican flag is red. 1t is singular to
notice that in almost every country of
which liberty is the watchword and
guiding idea the flag is composed Of
the three colors-red, white and blue

A PISCATORIAL COEuNDRUM.
How . Twelve-Foot Fish Was Cap
tuFed with a CrOwbar Down
i. in EQsSachuxetts.

Daniel A. Buckley, of Cambridge.
had an exciting experience at his sum-
mer home at Annisquam the other day,
which resulted in the capture of -
foot fish, the name of which is a pres
ent unknown, says the Boston Tran.
script. The knowledge of specialists
is to be called in to determine to what
species the fish belongs. Mr.. Buckley
is engaged in building cottage on the
beach at Annisquam. He was srperin-
tending the worl., when his attention
was drawn to something struggling in
shallow water. Two of his men, armed
with crowhars, rushed int o the water
and belabored the unknown thing with
might and main, the doughty Daniel
directing their efforts from the beach.
The fish was skillfully guided into
still shallower wa ter and IA shots from
a revolver were put into his body.
Finally line was attached to it's tail
and after fgh+ of two hours it was
hauled out. Mr.. Buckley describes it
as II feet long, with sharp snout one
foot Long. Back of the head the body
Is barrel-shaped. and it tapers grace
fully to the tail which is powerful and
capable of executing great damage.
Although there were many men in the
crowd which gathered who had fol-
lowed the sea, Lone could tell the
name of the fish.

She Objects to Cigarettes.

A ridiculous rumor is current that
the recent illness of the czarina has
been due to slow poisoning, the arsenic
being administered-so it is said-by
u trusted lady-in-waiting in the en-
press morning cup of chocolate. Sem
sational rumors of this kind are con-
tinually cropping up, and the mere
fact that the czarina has long been
in i'll health was quite sufficient basis
en- which to found this highly colored
story. That the empress is unpopular
is certainly not true. On the contrary
she has won the confidence of her hus-
bands people by her gentleness and
tact, her edict against her ladies-in-
waiting smoking cigarettes being the
one trivial grievance they have against
her.

THE ZONE OF FIRE IN CUBA.
People Seem to lie Stupefied by Their
Suffcrin: and Misery.


It can be truthfully said of the whole
province of Matanzas that it resembles
nothing SO much as a great ash heap.
And the same is true of the three other
western provinces, says the Review OF
Reviews. But there was radius OF
five miles around the city of Matan-
Zas that had not been destroyed in
January. This has been pointed out
as the zone of cultivation, where some
day, some remote manana, the land
would be allotted to the paciticos, and
in March the destruction of all this
property, and even the growing crops,
was decreed by Gen. Molinas, the mill
tary governor. The last time stood
on the summit of Montserrat there were
three great fires burning to the right
and to the left of me, and before me.
Everything was on fire except the sea,
which cannot be made to burn, even
by royal decree And for week Matan-
zas, usually so bright and clear, was as
smoky and sooty as Birmingham.
Here in Matanzas, as elsewhere at
every station of recommendation, I no.
tlced that the people are "lCnout any
organization whatever and they seem
to be lacking absolutely in the Anglo
Saxon faculty of combination, by which
they might possibly make their wants
and their grievances heard. They have
no committees and no selectmen. Each
family starves alone. Not but that
they are very kindly and charitable
the one to the other. They are help
full to one another to surprising de-
gree, but they do not organize for self
preservation and do not seem to I'M
derstand the suggestion when it is made
to them. l found them everywhere in
the same state, completely stupefed by
the sufrerings and the misery they had
undergone and the prospect of impend-
ing famine, starvation and plague which
confronts them.

MODERN FRENCH TRAGEDY.
How q Pair of Paris Lovers AttenlQt'
ed to End Their Unhappy
a. ExisteEce.

French tragedy in these degenerate
days is seldom without its flavor OF
burlesque or opera boutfe. Take the
recent case of the Partisan Romeo and
Juliet. Georges Vavian and Marie
Machine are about the age of the i'm
mortal lovers of Verona, and feud
divides their houses. They determined
to carry out the likeness TO the end.
The first time every requisite for the
tragic denoument was prepared.
Georges had provided pistols, and the
occasion was to be a walk in a de-
serted garden at nightfall. When the
final crisis was at hand, however, the
pair found they had omitted to pro-
vide themselves with sufficient forth
tude on this first occasion to carry out
their foolish project. Nothing 10th.
they determined upon making Sec
ond attempt.
This time a well-known recipe for in
stilling artificial bravery was put into
use. Hoping to compensate with
Dutch courage his natural lack of
valor, Vavian drank quantity OF
brandy, and took up pistol to shoot
his betrothed. Again his nerve failed
him. Still undeterred, Vavian imbibed
more brandy. Having at last screwed
his courage up to the sticking place
by these artificial means, he leveled his
weapon at Marie Machine, this time
with serious results. He fired and
wounded her in the forehead. Sud-
denly, aghast at what he had done,
he threw the pistol away instead OF
pointing it at himself, and shouted
Justify for help. Fortunately, the
boys hand appears to have shaken,
possibly under the influence of drink,
when he took aim at Marie Machine,
and the Life of the latter was spared.
