NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Famous Photograph of an American Business Man

man. Discussion got into the news
papers and the art journals. Col
umns were printed about il. 1t served
more than any other incident of that
or earlier exhibitions to identify the
two schools Of photography--one OF
the so-called idealists and the other
of the so-ealled realists, although
that term is not exactly correct
1.-THE photograph represented a man
with clean-shaven face and bespec-
tacled, with whimsical smile on his
lips, as though he were about to tell
of some quaint or humorous thought
so that the impression was that those
pictured lips might actually open and
speech issue from them.
This photograph was that of an
American, man who had been
prominently identified with large min
ing interests"
"Who was he? What was his
name?" l asked.
"He was Edward Jennings Cox, for
many years the executive authority
over one of the great iron mines OF
Cuba, which was owned and operated
by American capital. He lived long
enough to know how great a discus
sion followed the exhibition of his
photograph at the annual exhibition
of the Royal Photographic Associa-
ton. and / am glad to have in my
possession the picture which oeca-
stoned this discussion, and to know,
as / learned, that the discussion was
followed by the acceptance by many
of the leading artist photographers of
Great Britain of the principle that 1t
should be the true purpose OF arts.

not ideallzed, but as his friends knew

Animals Little Known In Califor-
mia" was the subject OF an illustrated
lecture recently delivered by Walter
p. Taylor, curator of the museum of
vertebrate zoology at the University
of California, before the large audi
ence, at the Washington School in
Oakland. the lecture being given I'M
der the auspices of the Board of Edu-
cation, says Forest and Stream. Mr..
Taylor told of many animals now but
rarely seen, and many of these were
entirely new to the rank and file of
his audience. The following are ex-
cerpts from his talk:
1.-THE fisher a small climbing
animal, Is the most agile wild animal
in California 1t takes two men to
shoot one, because the fisher is al
ways on the opposite side of the tree
from single marksman. A marten
can catch squirrel but a fisher can
catch a marten. 1t is one of two ami
mails which likes and eats porcupines.
The other is the bear.
1.-THE black bear, by the way, is
nearly extinct in California. 1t is en-
tirely gone from southern California.
Twenty years ago the grizzly bear
ranged all over California. Today the
museum has been unable to find a
single wild specimen.
Another nearly extinct animal is
the sea otter. It's nearest. relative is
the river otter, which never goes into
the ocean. In 1900 the sea otter was
most numerous. Now II is nearly ex-
terminated. Its skin, if good, is worth
$4,000 The few left are protected
Another strange marine animal is
the sea elephant. 1t has nearly dis
appeared, showing that wild birds or
beasts can live against carefully regu-
lated sport. but when they go into the
markets they begin soon to be rarer
and rarer.
"A remarkably big animal, now
making its last stand, is the Roosevelt
elk, found only in Del Norte County.
In 1873 it ranged from Del Nnrte Ia

Il am fortunate enough to possess
| photograph which at one time
caused probably a greater amount of
discussion in England than did any
other photograph ever exhibited by
the Royal Photographic Association
of Great Brita n" said Prize Mac
Donald-himself man of long
established artistic prominence-to
me recently.
"They have established in London
an authoritative association composed
of those who have been carrying
from year to year the development of
photography to a higher and higher
artistic plane. The annual exhibit
tons of this society are always an
event in the artistic life of England.
The pictures that are accepted and
exhibited are thoughtfully studied,
and they lead frequently to much
criticism. l do not mean by that
term unfriendly criticism. The pic
lures are studied with view of de-
terming whether they contain valu-
able hints which may be of great
service In the development of photog-
raphy.
II think, it was about four years
ago that at one of these annual exhi-
bit ons, photograph was exhibited
which attracted more attention than
any other one shown that year 1t
was the photograph of man, not a
full-length one, but of the face and
head poised upon the shoulders 1t
was about half life size. The picture
and the discussion which 1t caused
led to considerable popular interest
and even excitement. Throngs visited
the CALLER es every day especially to
look at that picture.
Criticism was divided. There was
a considerable body Of experts who
found fault with the picture because
of its realism. There was another
group which defended tho picture,
speaking of it as one of the finest ex-
amples of what photography could do
in the way of presenting what seemed
to be the almost living likeness of a

Man Took wife's Cash; Thought Waving
Stocking Was Club

NEW YORK, April 10.--A novel de-
Tense was offered before Magistrate
Freschi in the Mems Night Court last
night by Victor Borsary, of 345 East
Thirty-first street, when he was ar
raigned on the charge made by his
wife that he had violated his promise
made to the magistrate on January
to keep the peace, but it failed to
save him from a term of twenty
days in the workhouse. Borsary, so
his wife asserted. had stolen her
pocketbook containing $50 early yes
terday morning. Borsary, very apol-
ogetic, stated his case this way:
Judge, came home about o'clock
In the morning, and very happy be-
cause I had at last found a job.
Jumped into bed, and my wife-he
pointed at Mrs. Rega Borsary, who
is nearly six feet tall-kicked me out
Then she came after me, waving
something black over her head.
"I thought It was a club, and to
save myself a bump on the head
grabbed it, jumped into my clothes
and ran. WherbI got to the street
found the thing I held in my hand
was a stocking. The pocketbook was
in the stocking. Now that's the
truth"

"A miracle!" he craved,
My eyes would fain behold
What cannot be explained
BY science hard and cold
If ever one occurred
AS ancient stories tell,
Why, then, should it not be.
Vouchsafed to me as we'll ?"
"A miracer' he craved,
ITO save my soul from doubt,
Break through my senses dull
And put my fears to rout."
And even as he cried
Through woodlands green and dim,
As it had come of yore,
The springtime came to him.
