Professor Draper made an exposure
OF only thirty seconds. Then he closed
the camera and hurried to the dark
room to develop the plate AS a matter
of fact, all he really hoped to get
was proof that an instantaneous ex.
posture" was feasible.
But 1t was an excellent likeness
In fact it was so excellent that most
of the people to whom it was shown
were entirely skeptical and did not
hesitate to accuse the photographer
Of using the pencil of the artist to sup
ply the deficiencies of the camera.
However, Professor Draper obligingly
repeated the experiment many times
with unvarying success. Moreover he
wrote several articles for the maya
zines Of the day, giving full details.
Finally the doubters were convinced.
Not only were the doubters con-
WINGED but they demanded photographs
of themselves and their wives and
their sweethearts. Soon there was
such a demand for daguerreotypes
that Draper and Morse opened a pho
tograph gallery. This was certainly
the first In America and probably the
first in the world.
With Professor Morse in Europe In
1889 was Matthew b. Brady (1S24-
1880. He was a precOcious boy Of
fifteen, an employee of A. T. Stewart,
New York's merchant prince" When
Professor Draper produced his 'instan-
taneous photograph Brady saw his
opportunity. He quickly established
gallery on Broadway. He was sue
cessful from the start. In 1851 he
took prize at the London worlds
fair. When the Civil war broke out
he was BRADY, the Photographer"
with worldwide fame and galleries in
New York and Washington.
When the Civil war broke out Brady
started out with horse and buggy
and a camera to photograph it. He
was in the thick of the first battle
of Bull Run. That night he Numbered
into the New York fire department

had his negatives. The zOuaves gave

John William Draper (1811-1SS2)
was born near Liverpool, England. and
came to America In 1881. He gradu-
ated In medicine in 1885 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 1899, when Daguerre
made' his announcement of the first
photograph, Morse and Draper were
colleagues In New York university.
Morse was interested ip 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 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 he
made in the process to shorten the
exposure of minutes to seconds. These.
If successful, would enable him 70

ject.
So Draper Immediately constructed
a camera made out of a cigar box and
two spectacle lenses. Preliminary ex.

Then he asked his sister to sit for

In the costume fashionable among New
York bellies of the day and climbed
with her brother to the roof of the !
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

prevent her moving. Doubtless there

THE JOYS WE SHARE.

THIS makes the songs of night SO
sweet:
They are not here before your
feet
But over yOnder; over hills
You hear the evening whip-poor-wills
Their notes melodious, their trills,
Repeat
The unseen singers sweeter far
Than Gagged companions always are
They do not sing for you. for me,
They sing for all humanity
They are part of grass, of tree,
OF star.
And so in life, the pleasures there
Are greatest common everywhere.
We ask so much for our own ease,
We seek so much so much TO please,
Yet find our greatest joys in these
We share.
We must tear down the selfish wall;
Our song must be cOmrade call.
Alone 40 happiness is had
Each day will be increasing glad
If something TO the joy we add
