In art the great discovery and invention
OF the nineteenth century was photogra-
ply Three great extensions of this dis
covery was the discovery of the X-rays
photograplling through solids, and the ap-
plicatlon of photography to astronomy
and phys ology, and the engraving of
photographs by acid etching. Few per-
sons realize what photography has done
for all of us Catching and holding the
image of the loved one is much-more,
perhaps-than any of Us realize; but this
precious gift which photography has
given us is personal in character, and it
is in the wider fields of life that the
great value of this art, which compile
mentS printing, is best realized. 1t fur
nishes the meteorofogist the physicist
and the biologist with self-registering in
struments of extreme delicacy, and ena-
bleS them to preserve accurate records OF
the most fleeing natural phenomena.
By the aid of photography stars are
shown which no telescope that has been
or that probably ever will be construct
ed can render visible to the human eye.
1t has proved one of the greatest educa-
tors of the century and in connection W tn
the mechanical process known as pho
togravure, reproduction of photographs
OF all parts of the world of all races and
peoples, of nature and rain, of ancient
landmarks, have frought before millions
on millions of people knowledge not pos
sible to them in any other way. 1t has
enabled countless millions to beautify
their homes and in a wholesome way
nourished the hunger for the beautiful.
The X-ray has proved Of greatest value
in surgery and various lines of scientific
research.
