AAN 3 EMOTIONS
PHOTOGRAPHED
Love, Hate, Joy and Fear on
Dry Plate.
DR.. BARADUC'S BI0METER
He Claims That Science Is
Basis of Work.

as plainly as though they were houseS
and trees.
The scientist who makes this almost
incredible announcement is DR.. HIPPO
lyte Baraduc, of Paris-a weil-known
allenist and pupil of the famous DR.. Char
cot.
Several years ago DR.. Baraduc made
his name known by the invention of the
'sBaraduc biometer," which is used to
discover the exact amount OF vital and
nervous force in a patient.
Today the principal topic of conversa-
ton in the scientific salons of Paris Is
the much more wonderful discovery by
DIR. Baraduc. by means of which the
changeful emotions of the human heart
can be mirrored in the sensitive plate of
4 camera and made visible to the eye.
The new process of heart photography
Is fully described in a book written by
the discoverer entitled THE Vibrations
of Vitality The book is now being
published in Paris, and Will be issued
soon.
THE report that have been able TO
photograph emotions is perfectly true,
said DIR. Baraduc TO 4 representative from
the Sunday World Magazine.
The doctor, who is a man of fine ap-
! pearance and magnetic personality, was
found in his laboratory. He has very
extensive practice as a specialist in brain
diseases and has for several months been
using his own system of photography in
the treatment of patients
Il have obtained photographs of love,
hate. joy. grief. fear. sympathy. piety.
etc" said DR.. Baraduc.

tain these results. Any ordinary camera
will do. All l have done is to apply an
old invention to new use.
IF, for instance, patient SUFFERING
from mental arrangement and whose feel
ings l wish to know is brought 10 my
office, my first care is to make careruI
diagnosis of his physical condition.
Next. with my biometer l ascertain
the vital and nervous force OF my patient
BY means of several sensitized needles
in the biometer 1 can measure the exact
amount of vitality that his body contains
After this preliminary work has been
done, I take a highly sensitive dry plate

head 1t is advisable. of course, to choose
a moment when the patients attack is
at its worst.
"Just as the Photographic plate has
made known to astronomers the existence
of stars that cannot be seen by the human
eve. even when aided by the largest teie-
scopes, so by the same means L nave
opened to view the inmost recesses OF the
heart and made concealment OF emo
tion impossible.
I'm every case the same emotion makes
the same kind of impression upon the
plate. Different emotions invariably make
different photographs.
some of these photographs resemble
the Milky Way. White spots appear IN
| star-Hke clusters or in some instances
shaped like a comet
"Other feelings-love fer instance-make
| series of indistinct bIurs upon the plate.
A few are represented as an explosion OF
| fireworks or as a mass of twisted tubes
| of light. the latter generally double ana
| seemingly filed with milky fluid
Dr. Baraduc has not confined his eN-
periments to those who are sick in body
or mind Some OF his best photographs
have been obtained from people who were
zane IN every respect The one thing
| that is absolutely necessary in every case
| is that there should be some strong emo
,ion upon which the whole attention OF
the person is concentrated
The emotions rage and fear are strik-
inely alike in all cases. always producing
| a bli.zard-like effect upon the plate
Both are entirely different in appearance
/ from sadness. which looks like whiri-
wind Of lines.
