DAGUERRE--- The Man Who Made
 Sunlight Work for Him.

A little French boy lay sick in his Aafkened bedroom one summer day iR 1Ge5. Outside was glare of sun light, but heavy shutters rendered the slekroom gloomy and dark The white washed ceiling alone reflected patches of light from holes and cracks in the wooden blinds
 The little invalid was Joseph Nice phore kiepce As he lay staring up- ward, very lonely and very sick, he saw cart and horses drive slowly across the ceiling. Then a drove of cattle, and after a while his fathers figure and that of his pet dog.
 As the sun went under cloud these wonderful images faded The child s mother came in and he told her of the procession that had crossed his cell ing
 He had merely been side the first camera in existence. A chink in the blinds had served as lens and the cell ing had been the plate or finder" reaecting objects passing in the road outside. The hoy did not forget AS he grew up his memory often returned to the strange phenomenon, and he be- gan to figure out in his own mind the cause of 1t. At last, in the course of time, he hit upon very fair solution of the mystery.
 This decided. ho set to work trying to reproduce the process in real life and to obtain some permanent image of objects thus photographed After Ao., ... e;rs. many fai lures now tne rirst Nience fonnd in Photograph Was ,oo1 poe ,ou'io' in

 ing the surface of metal plate with mixture of lav- ender oil and asphalt. putting the plate in primitive camera and ex- posing it a long time, very faint image of the object or landscape in front of it would be cast upon the metal. He developed such plates by washing them with combination of petroleum and lavender oil.
 Great as was Niepce's discovery it remained for another man to put it to practical use This collaborator was Jacques Daguerre, who had begun life as a soldier and had later won fame in Paris as a scene painter and maker of the first Diorama A theater fire made Daguerre poor and out of employment. He met Niepce and went into partnership with him. Soon aft srward Niepce died. and Daguerre car rieS on the work to completion. The Ideas were. practically. all Niepce's.

The Difference.

Edward. having been refused an other baked potato on the simple but convincing ground that there were no more. according to the New York Sun, made some uncomplimentary re mark about the insufIicieney of his dinner This isn't dinner corrected the aunt whom he was visiting. This is luncheon. You don't eat dinner in the middle of the day You eat that at night" The next day the aunt, be- ing anxious to know if Edward had assimilated his lesson of the day be- fore, said: Edward. can you tell me now the difference between dinner and iuncheon?" You bet can," said Edward, very promptly. Lunch Is the meal where you don't get enough to eat"

But It was Daguerre who goa the cred it for them and who had the honor of making the first successful photo graph. He, too, it was after whom such early photographs were named. for the term Photographic picture" was shortened to "Daguerreo-type."
 The process whereby Daguerre made these first pictures was absolutely crude. A sheet of silver-plated copper was highly polished and freed from every particle of dust Then it was hung, face downward, over a saucer containing iodine. The fumes of the iodine formed, on the surface of the iodide, which is sensitive to light. When enough of this had collected to turn the surface of an orange color the plate was ready for exposure and was put into the dark side of a cem. era. The exposure itself, which had formerly taken several hours, was now cut down to between three minutes and half an hour, according to the light.
 But another difficulty confronted Daguerre. He could not hit upon the right chemical for developing his pic. lures. One day after taking a photo graph he was called away Before go ing he stuck the plate into a closet near his stove. Taking it out on his return he found, to his amazement picture perfectly developed He was utterly mystified until he searched the cupboard
 There he found a jar of mercury, The warmth of the closet had vola. A Discovery That tilized the mer.

 had developed the plate by condensing on such places as had been acted on by the light in nearly the same ration as the intensi, ty of the lights action. Next the print was fixed" by dipping it into a solu, tion of hyposulphue of soda. In 1898 the first Daguerrotype was exhibited
 Other men took up the idea and improved it. In 1S40 Prof. John W Draper of the University of New York invented an improved lens. and by it made the first sunlight picture" of human face. This revolutionized photography. From that time further improvement was comparatively easy matter.

HENRY BEssEMER-The Man Whose Failure Mon sIeeess

4 young inyentor-Henry Bessemer by name-awoke one morning in the first half of the nineteenth century to find himself the laughing-stock of England. His name was on all lips, and the story of his latest folly was told and retold amid the derision of d nation He was pointed out as fore ordained failure in life Here in brief is the tale of his odd 5ill-luck:
 The stamping system in the British government offices wss carried on in an expensive and old-fashioned way. Bessemer, though little more than a boy, invented an improved stamping device which was so excellent that. in spite of the increased money out lay involved, the government decided to adopt it. In payment Bessemer was ty receive a life position as super intendent of stamps at a salary of S4 000 year. It was unheard-of good luck for so young man Bessemer ia his delight became a0VerZealouS and forthwith spoiled his prospe cts by in venting still another system whereby lJt bIi ztlifiF Eti fOI SldifiD- ing could be continued profitably at no extra expense or special alteration h other words, he improved" away the necessity of his own promised DO sitian. There was no hnger any need of his services. Ths3 government adopted his second system, thereby saving much money. Besseiner re- ceived not one penny for the nven- tion. and was, moreover, out of s46 year job. All England laughed; for there is scant sympathy for fool, and fool" was the mildest of the many terms applied to the youngster.

that he went twenty rounds to a draw

SULLIVAN AND CORDELL TO
GO TWENTY-FIVE ROUNDS
Jack CordeII Is Finally Persuaded to Stay and
Meet Sullivan Over Long Route
at l50 Pounds.

run, he also knows that kidney blows
do the same to him if he has to stay
more than fifteen rounds. Thus 1t is
practically stand-off, and Dick, with
his acknowledged cleverness in the
open, will doubtless figure that he has
just as good chance as Cordel in a
twenty-f five round go.
Hard Weight for Dick.
The weight question is a hard one,
and Dick must have been very anxious
for return go if he would agree to
such weight as 156, even at 8 o clock.
Of course, Sullivan will take on more
than enough between clock and the
time of entering the ring to take him
beyond the middleweight limit of 1853,
but he has all the nervous tension, that
goes with making weight, to deal with.
Dick is a cool and level-headed boxer
and he may be relied on not to worry
too much about the weight; but, no
matter how phlegmatic fighter may
be, making weight is a strain and keeps
I the best of managers busy looking after
his principals nerves.
These Two men have already met
twice here and both results were draws.
While neither man could show much
superiority in fifteen rounds, it looks
very much as though the gong would
never sound for the twenty round
in the coming event.
Perhaps No Preliminary.
It is very probable that there will be
no preliminary. If there be one, it
will be very short; four or six rounds
at the outside. In talking the matter
over yesterday it was suggested that,
instead of preliminary contest, Scully
put on a quintet or an entertainer to
keep the fans happy until the main
event comes along.
Scully seemed to fall in love with
the idea and it may be that the big
! doings will come on without introduc-
| ton save for the announcer spiel and
| some music or singing to keep people
/ amused. One great argument in favor
| of this idea is the matter of time II
Scully puts on a classy preliminary, il
will be $3.50 before it is over and, sup
posing that the twenty-five round e
starts at 9:45 and goes the limit, one
hundred minutes of milling would bring
the close of the bout too near to the
| last car to be very comfortable.
News Well Received.
The news that the bout had been ar
ranged soon spread round town yester
day afternoon and evening and all tn,
fans seemed to be pleased. The Sta
| Theater is a not uncomfortable plac,
for fight, and the fans would just a
soon go there as anywhere else, pro
vided they know where it is. Mex
time there will be shades on the rim,
lights so that people in the gallerie
and press box can watch without pull
ing their hats over their eyes, Ais
there will be place for the reporter
SO that they can write without havin;

THE BRIGHT SIDE

of life. It is feeling common
to the majority of us that we
do not get quite the amount of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make us more or
less miserable i'll health takes
the first place. No doubt a
crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And who
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss, and fear a
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like a vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
ly be said to have any bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
sition in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and
Boosting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves its
reputation is conceded. It is
palatable as honey and contains
all the curative properties &C
