1000 pounds of phosgene, one OF the
deadliest gases used in the war,
sprung leak, workmen was killed
and scores were overcome before Pas
cal and companion, formerly with
the chemical warfare service, arrived.
They smelled the gas from a distance,
and recognizing it's odor, set out for
the origin.
Arriving, Pascal found doctors car
ing for the severely gassed, workmen
running about in gas masks but no
one trying to stop the leak. After
several attempts in the gas-filled plant,
Pascal and his companion stopped the

in 1910. He studied painting under
Washington Allston and Benjamin

our early portrait painters and cred

president of the National Academy OF

of New York made him professor of

sage, What hath God wroughtT'
John William Draper (1S11-1S82)
was born near Liverpool England, and
came to America in 1881. He gradu-
ated in medicine in 1886 from the
University of Pennsylvania. He took
the chair of chemistry and natural his
tory in the University of New York
in 1889. In 1841 he became professor
of chemistry in the medical depart
ment of the university.
So, you see, in 1889, when Daguerre
made his announcement of the first
photograph, Morse and Draper were
colleagues in New York university.
Morse was interested in photography
through his portrait painting and in
chemistry through his telegraph on
which he was working. Draper was
interested in photography through his
chemical investigations.
What more natural then, that Morse
should hasten to write Draper Of
Daguerre's success in taking a photo
graph In a camera? Moreover, Morse
gave a full account of Daguerre's
process. He and Daguerre were
| friends, the Frenchman having trav-
eled in America. exhibiting "dissolving
views
Draper studied Morse's account. He
quickly saw changes that could be
made in the process to shorten the
exposure of minutes to seconds. These,
! if successful, would enable him to
make photograph Of a living sub
ject.
| So Draper Immediately constructed
a camera made out of cigar box and
two spectacle lenses. Preliminary ex.
periments gave promise of success.
| Then he asked his sister to sit for
him. She dressed up for the occasion
in the costume fashionable among New
York bellies of the day and climbed
with her brother to the roof of the
university building where the sun was
shining in full summer glare.
Draper first covered his sisters face
with thick coating of white Then
he put her down in a chair and
clamped her head in an iron brace to
prevent her moving Doubtless there

him to virtually desert the army. He
left his post and marched to the
front A. w. o. L. He went through
the st. NIihiel drive and was in the
thick Of the Argonne fighting when
iii order was issued for his arrest.
Neubert didn't mind the arrest but
he hated to quit fighting. A court
martial followed and he was reduced
to a private. Later, following the
armistice, he was sent to Coblenz as
linotype operator on the Amaroc
News.

And these encyclopedias will contain
articles on photography. And no ar
ticle on photography is complete With
out mention of these two names.
For the first photograph OF the
human face was that Of the fair feat
ures of Miss Draper. And the man
who made the photograph was her
brother, Professor Draper.
Moreover, whenever photographers
meet to discuss their art, the story
of the first Photographic portrait IS
apt to be retold. At the recent con-
vention of the American Chemical So
clety at Rochester, N. Y, Prof. Francis
Owen Rice of New York university re-
told the story and exhibited the copy
of the photograph reproduced here
with.
J. Interesting in this connection are
the other photographs reproduced.
Each gives a glimpse of the progress
that has been made in the 81 years
since the Diapers achieved immortali-
ty. The photograph of Theodore
Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the
navy. which shows him in the act of
speaking, is the familiar snapshot
which the veriest amateur of the pres

work. The bird's-eye of the White
House was taken from an airplane,
yet the picture Is as clear as If the
camera had been on a tripod on top
of the Washington monument.
Louis Jaques Maude Daguerre 0789-
lS51), born in Normandy, is the pioneer
of the process Of photography: his
name is immortalized in the word
daguerreotypy He worked for many
years to fix the pictures seen in the
camera obscura. Photography. as ev-
eryone knows, is the art of preparing
permanent representations of objects
by means of the light they emit or
transmit. Wedgewood and Davy are
credited with the first step. They
obtained prints of ferns and lace by
placing them on paper or leather treat
ed with silver nitrate and exposing
them to the light.
Daguerre made the first photograph
Droduced in a camera. 1t was deli
cate positive; the image was very
Yriable and no copies could be made
still it was a photograph. Soon
Daguerre reached the point where he
made announcement that he could take
"a photograph of an inanimate object

approximately half an hour.
This was in 1889. At the time

"The Rules of Success" as
Outlined by Gov. Baxter

The following statement on the
"Rules of Success" which Governor
Baxter sent at the request of New
England editor will be of interest to
our readers as it comes from the
chief Executive of the State of
Maine. and we therefore quote it be-
low
"To say that man is successful
usually implies that he has pros
pcrcd in material things. That. how
ever, is but one of the elements of
success and is to be desired, but it is
not its highest and noblest form. True
success means the complete develop
mont of mans nature both morally
and spiritually. This can be obtained
only by the development of character
The power to stand for the right, to
resist evil, TO hold steadfast to
principle, to endure the praise as well
as the scorn of fellowmen, to be con-
siderate of others, and to defend
their rights at ones own personal
sacrifice. requires real character. To
attain the highest measure of sue
cess. cultivate character and hold to
principle, for with these as founda-
tons the world can be faced single
handed"

How Poinscttias Are Forced

To get poinsettas ready for the
market by Christmas is a problem
that his worried florists ever since
the bright rcd flowerlike leaves of
this beautiful plant took their place
as a favorite holiday decoration.
The problem has been reduced TO
practical solution through the
work of DR.. W. w. Garner. tobacco
specialist, and II. II. Allard, plant
psychologist of the United States Dc
partment of Agriculture, who discov-
cred the possibility of advancing or
rctarding the growth Of plants by
controlling the period of light each
day. Where the light period is
shortened the plants reach maturity
much sooner than where they~ar
given the natural length of day. In
the greenhouses on the departments
experimental farm at Arlington. Va.
1t has been found possible to bring
poinsettios into full form as early as
August by shortening the daily ex-
posure to light.

Wealth Not Wanted.

The King of Rurutu, one of the
Austrial group southwest of Tahiti in
the South Seas, is troubled by the
discovery of valuable minerals on his
island
The natives of tho Austrial Islands
do not want white people among
them and they put every obstacle
possible in the way of Europeans who
would settle there. They own their
own schOoners and bring their island
produce to Papeete from time to time,
and carry back with them such sup
plies as they need. Thus they avoid
frequent visits of white mems schoon-
ers.
They make no secret Of their aver
sion and say openly that they do not
want white men to come on any err
rand whatsoever.
While Eurutu is part Of the colony
owned by France the government of
the island Is still in the hands Of the
hereditary king Of Rurutu who d.
reefs the affairs Of lis people Subject
to the veto CT the Governor General
of the colony at Papeete.
The old king has resented THE
threatened exploitation of his island
and has attempted to apply the
principle that concession given is
not valid in his dominion.

A Novel Hunt.

1t is of course well known that tame
elephants are trained to help in the
capture of wild ones, but it may sur
prise some people to learn that, In the
Southern States. tame turkeys have
been trained to hunt wild ones.
If hunter is patient enough to
teach a tame turkey. he can take it
to the woods. and when it gives out
it's call there will be an answering
note from any wild turkey within
hearing. The wild bird will advance
very cautiously. as he is a suspicious
creature; but. when. he sees the tur-
key, his fears are gone and he starts
at once to do battle. Then the
trained turkey runs and the hunter
shoots. There are advantages in this
method. Some men can initiate a
turkey call very closely, but the bird
makes an accompaniment by striking
the ground with his wings A hunter
cannot reproduce this. and without
It the game is suspicious. -Philadel.
