eRATED TODAY.

New York. May 5.--A large and In
terested audience attended the exer-
cises held at New York University this
afternoon In celebration of the centen-
nial anniversary Of the birth of the
late DIR. John William Draper. whose
Improvement on the process OF Dag
uerre enabled him 10 take the FIRST
photograph OF the human face.
Daguerre had believed that no man
could ever reproduce the human coun-
tenance. but DIR. Drapers discovery OF
the chemical action OF light showed
that IL was possible, and he made a
likeness of his sister. Miss Dorothy
Catherine Draper.
First Photograph Gallery.
The first photograph gallery ever es-
tablished was set up in 1910 by DR..
Draper In the old New York University
building, where Professor Morse, in
ventor OF the telegraph, and DIR. Drap-
er took pictures with a camera made
of a cigar box and spectacle lens.
DR.. Draper gained distinction also by
explaining the purification of the blood
by the lungs. With films of thin ma
terial and soap bubbles he showed that
gases pass freely through thin parti-
tions of many substances tin the pres
sure of the gas on either side is equal
and that In this way the oxygen taken
in the lungs passes Through the blood
and Is absorbed, while the carbon di-
oxide in the blood passes into the
lungs and Is exhaled.
Professor Of Chemistry.
DIR. Draper was born i'm England
May 5. 1911. and came to the United
States in 1888. He took degree in

vania. and was appointed professor of
