too small" as he declares. the young
painter emigrated to Australia and
lived in Sydney up to the time when,
the best part of three years ago. he
made up his mind to conquer London.
Meanwhile he had made a recognized
position for himself in the artistic
world of the antipodes. and examples
of his work are in practically every big
public art collection in Australia and
New Zealand as well as in the possess
sion of many private collectors.
In spite of the success of his GallfpoH
sketches, he is at his best in portraiture
and semi-allegorical works, and in both
directions his success has been striking.
OF one of his portraits, a study of a
Maori girl, originally exhibited at and
subsequently purchased for the Auck-
land City Gallery, one finds critic
writing: Moore Jones magnificent
Maori figure, 'Kiwi' daughter of the
late great chief, Maj. TIE Wheoro). is
assuredly the outstanding feature OF
the exhibition. and probably the finest
piece of Maori portraiture hitherto
given us: full of the essential poetry OF
the Maori race. The figure is full
length, clothed in a kiwi mat, with the
right hand hels forward and firmly
grasping a spear. The lowness of the
tone adds to the mystery and charm OF
the work 1t is matter for congratula-
ton that this picture has been pur-
chased for the permanent art gallery,

he published an account of various mod1-
fications of the electric magnetic appara-
tus. He proved that in the transmission
of electricity for great distance the power
of the battery must be proportioned to
the length of the conductor and he was
the first to magnetic a piece of iron at
a distance, and the inventor of the first
machine moved by the agency of electro
magnetism. 1t is not disputed so far as
the Rambler knows, that Prof. Henry
preceded Morse in pointing out the ap-
plicability of electricity in the instan-
taneous transmission of intelligence be-
tween distant points.
The record of the scientific experiments
and accomplishments and the scientific
writings Of Prof. Henry would fill many
volumes. but 1t may be of especial in
terest to Washingtonians to recall that
the establishment of the national light
house system was due largely to the in
spiration of Prof Henry and that
throughout the time of his residence in
Washington he acted as adviser to the
government on scientific matters and the
matter of the personnel of the scientific
commissions was generally referred to
him. in such esteem were his talents held.
East of the Henry statue and on
shaded grassy plot between the old Ma

can show such strides as these.
The information is given on a small
bronze plate that the sculptor was ]. H.
Hartley. and that the bronze figures on
the memorial were cast at New York
in the year of the erection of the mon

Old Washingtonians remember the
daguerreotype; many of them had their
counterfeit presentment made by this
process. and hundreds of daguerreo-
types are treasured possessions in
Washington homes today. Photography
is now so common and so generally
practiced that man is apt to think
that photography is one OF the old arts,
or that it has always been with US.
But as the inscription on the memorial
to Daguerre shows. this is not true.
Though the name of Daguerre is in
dissolubIy associated with the early
stages of photography, there is an
other name in connection with 1t which
is practically unknown unless to stu
dents of the subject. That name is
Niepce, the full name being Joseph
Nicephore de Niepce.
The daguerreotypes were excellent
pictures, but the making of them was
not the easy process of today. The
strides have been long and many.
Everybody of middle age can remem-
Der when photographers gave their
sitters iron rests for the back and
arms and clamped the head of the
sitter in a pair of heavy iron tongs
that the, sitter might not move during
the long exposure that was required.
That was not so long ago. yet now
the whole world knows of practically
instantaneous snapshots. in which the
shutter moves so fast and the plate
or film is made so sensitive to light
that the photographer can catch" or
