SOME OF THE EMOTIONS
 CAN BE PHOTOGRAPHED

Paris-The camera has conquered the secrets of the human heart. The hidden and guarded passions and emotions can hatred. pity, fear, love-all can be pIc- tured as plainly as a hand or a head, a tree or a house.
 The scientist who makes this almost incredible announcement is Dr. Hippolyte Baraduc-a well-known alienist and pupil of the famous Dr. Charcot.
 Several years ago Dr. Baraduc made his name known by the invention of the "Baraduc biometer." which Is used to discover the exact amount of vital and nervous force in patient.
 Today the principal topic of converse ton in the scientific salons of Paris is the much more wonderful discovery by Dr. Baraduo, by means of which the changeful emotions of the human heart can be mirrored by the sensitive plate of a camera and made visible to the eye.
 The new process of heart photogra- phy'' is fully described In a book written by the discoverer entitled "The Vibra- tons of Vitality" The book is now be- %A84~N about the last week in April.
 "The report that I have been able to photograph emotions is perfectly true," said Dr. Baraduc the other day
 The doctor, who Is man of fine appear ance and magnetic personality has a very extensive practice as a specialist in brain diseases, and has for several months been using his new system of photography in the treatment Of patients.
 Love and Hate.
 T have obtained photographs of love, hate, joy. grief fear, sympathy, piety. etc." said Dr. Baraduc. No new chemi- cal Is necessary to obtain these results. Any ordinary camera will do All l have done Is to apply an old invention to a new use.
 "If, for instance, a patient suffering from mental derangement and whose feelings I wish to know Is brought to my office. my first care Is to make careful diagnosis of his physical condition.
 Next, with my barometer, I ascertain the vital and nervous force of my patient By means of several sensitized needles in the barometer I can measure the ex- act amount of vitality that his body con tains.
 After this preliminary work has been done, take a highly sensitive dry plate wrapped In Hgnt prooI paper anu hoiu II about twelve Inches from the patient g head. It is advisable, of course, to choose a moment when the patients at tack is at its worst.
 "Just as the photographic plate has made known to astronomers the exist ence of stars that can not be seen by the human eye, even when aided by the largest telescopes, so by the same means I have opened to view the inmost re- cesses of the heart and made conceal ment of emotion impossible. "In every case the same emotion makes the same kind of impression upon the plate Different emotions invariably make different photographic. Some of these photograps resemble the milky way. White spots appear in star-lke clusters or in some instances shaped like a comet.
 "Other feelings--love, for instance make a series of indistinct blurs upon the plate. A few are represented as an ex- plosion of fireworks or as mass Of twisted tubes of light the latter gener- ally double and seemingly filled with milky fluid.
 "One photograph represented love It will no doubt, attract more public atten- ton than any other photograph in my
