rath, while working at a garden on
Water street, Sault ste. Marie, the
other afternoon unearthed a French
coin of the mintage OF 1887. While
the date of the coin was some years
after the French had surrendered this
territory the hamlet on the banks of
the st. Marys river was inhabited
chiefly by the French and half breeds
and it was likely among these people
that the coin was circulated and lost.
While it is of no particular trinsc

P. h. O'BRIEN TO ADDRESS
HANCOCK ELKS ON FLAG DAY
ACCEPTS INVITATION TO GIVE
TALK AT EXERCISES.
FINE PROGRAM TO BE HELD ON
JUNE ID.

Hon. +. III. O'Brien, OF Laurium, cir
cult judge-elect of Houghton county.
has accepted an invitation from the
rag day committee Of the Hancock
lodge of Elks to deliver a patriotic ad-
| dress at the exercises to be held i'm the
lodge room Of the Hancock lodge next
wednesday evening, June IA. The OBJ
servance will be for members of the
order only. their wives and other in
vited guests, and for the occasion an
attractive musical and ritualistic pro-
gram is being arranged. The flag day
ritual of the Elks Is very beautiful and
impressive, and in this part of the
work the officers and members of the
lodge will take part. There will be i'm
addition several musical selections by
Klingkammer's orchestra, a few vocal
numbers and the program will con-
clude with a dance in the club room
for Elks and their ladies.
There will be no public recognition
of flag day locally beyond the liberal
display of the stars and stripes on
public buildings, the occasion during
the past few years having come to be
generally recognized in Hancock, where
appeals to the patriotic spirit of the
citizens have met with a prompt and
general compliance.
TO make this year the most notable
of the fifteen observances of Flag Day,
the American Flag Association has is
sued an appeal TO the American peo-
pie to pay respect to the nations en-
blem on June Il. 1t is fourteen years
since June II was designated as hol-
iday in honor Of the flag, and this
year marks the one hundred and thir-
ty-fourth anniversary of the adoption
of the stars and Stripes by act of
congress. The law creating 1t was
passed on June IA. 1777. From that day
to the present it has foated over a
steadily growing nation and has been
unfurled in every quarter of the world.
Today it is the guarantee of safety
and protection for 100,0O0,000 people.
With all our love of dollars, and with
all the mistakes that have been attri-
tuted to our democracy, the American
people have never been accused of any
want of patriotism. 1t is a sentiment
that is essential to the welcome and
permanence of any nation.

THE DEVELOPMENT
OF PHOTOGRAPHY.


Thomas w. Smile, +. r. p. S., OFF,
cial photographer of the Smithsonian
institution, is preparing an exhibit of
photographs which, when completed,
will illustrate the development of the
Photographic art from the time of the
discovery of the first process by the
Frenchman. Niepee, in 1924. to the
present time.
This exhibit will consist of a collec-
ton of 5000 photographs, which when
gathered, will be placed on exhibition
either in the National museum or the
Smithsonian institution i'm Washing
ton. The collection will be catalogued
and each photograph described I'm de-
tail as to the process used and the in
ventor thereof.
Mr.. Smile has been connected with
the Smithsonian institution since 1868
and is regarded as one of the fore
most photographers i'm the country.
lie is the inventor of the process of
photographing on wood, and is the au-
thor of many books and pamphlets.
Perhaps the most interesting pic
lures of the collection are two daguer-
reotypes of Daguerre himself. One of
the photographs Of the inventor of the
most perfect method of photography,
was loaned for the collection by Mrs.
Valentine of New York, while the
other was presented to the National
museum by Mr.. Cramer Of st. Louis.
He paid $500 for IL. Mr. Smillie is of
the opinion that that the daguerreo-
type method has never been excelled.
Even the most modern and up-to-date
methods, he claims do not produce the
hneness and satisfactory results OBJ
tanned by the old, slow and cumber-
some method on the silver plate. The
picture is toned with gold, thus produce
ing wonderful clearness, likeness and
detail that have defied the march of
progress and invention.
The daguerreotype was first produced
in 1889. and i'm the same year came
also the talbotype. a process by which
chloride of silves was used success
fully on paper. The first negative of
the Talbot process "calotype" was pro-
duced in 1910. After this came the
collodian negative on glass. then the
ambrotype, and later the present day
method of photography known as the
gelatin bromide emulsion process.
Great Roadway is now being made
in developing color photography. Mr..
Smillie has been signally successful in
this line of endeavor, and the results
produced by him will be of unusual
interest In 1908 he published n book
on "The Recent Progress i'm Color Pho
Biography" In that year two methods
of producing photographs in color, the
autochrome and the Warner Powrie
processes, were discovered.
The exhibit will contain 800 models
pertaining to photography, transferred
from the United States patent office
permanently as this exhibit is to be
The Calumet news. [volume] (Calumet, Mich.) 1907-1938, 1911-06-07

one Of the perpetual features Of the
Smithsonian displays.
Mr.. Smillie's discovery of process
OF photographing on wood, made I'm
1868, proved of great value 10 wood en-
gravers, and this and other work made
possible his election to fellowship of
the Royal Photographic society OF Lon
don. II was this invention that prac-
tically gave Mr.. Smillie his connection
with the government service. Shortly
thereafter, Prof. Baird, then assistant
secretary of the Smithsonian instl-
tuition, who was engaged in preparing
an elaborate work on North American
birds, asked the photographer to as
sist him in its preparation. Many of
the Illustrations that appear in this
recognized text book were photo
graphed on wood by Mr.. Smile for
the engravers.
Mr.. Smillie regards as one of his
most important accomplishments i'm
photography the series of photographs
taken OF the solar eclipse I'm 1900 at
Wadesboro. n. c. These photographs
are regarded as among the most re-
markable ever taken. In all eight
negatives were secured with the 1876
foot telescope, twelve with n 40 foot
telescope and a number OF others, all
of which will be shown I'm the collec-
ton. In one end of the 1876 foot tele-
scope was the lens, while the other
end terminated in a dark room. A
mirror operated by clockwork and
known as a coelstat reflected the i'm
age of the eclipse eastward into the
camera. BY means OF the clockwork
the mirror was made TO revolve once
in forty eight hours so that perfect
photograph was thus obtained This
negative measured 3Ox3O inches and
will be one of the most prominent i'm
the exhibit.
The National museum exhibit of
photography will be one of unusual in
terest, not only to photographers, but
to the public in general. II will be
the only one of its kind in the world,
and unusual care is being used i'm pre-
pairing, cataloguing and indexing.
Among the pictures shown one series
will illustrate the development of color
photography and another will show
the beginning and progress of spec
trum photography.
Mr., Smile has made photography
his life work and the results obtained
by him have been the fruits Of years of
thought, experiment and endeavor. He
is recognized authority and expert
in his line. When the exhibit is put |
on view the Smithsonian institution |
will have a collection and history of |
from it's inception which |
it would be practically impossible to
duplicate.
