RoME'S NAVAL THEATER.

What in Rome were known as nau-
machiae were theaters in which repre-
sentation of naval engagements were
given. These theaters were built espe-
cially for this purpose, and such exhi-
billions were originally instituted for
the purpose of intoxicating naval disci-
pine; but, in process OF time, only
malefactors or captives whose lives
had been forfeited acted in them.
They appear to have been conducted
on scale of such magnificence as

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 retoId. At the recent con-
vention of the American Chemical So
ciety ar 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.
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
ent day can take. The baseball scene
is a speed-picture; the dirt thrown up
by the man sliding in is suspended
in the air, so fast did the shutter
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 17S9-
1851, 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
produced in a camera. 1t was a deli
cate positive; the image was very
friabIe 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.

Harding's Plan for Association
of Nations Includes Bid
to Moscow
ACTION ON CHINA TODAY
BY the Associated Press

Washington, Nov. 26.-With the
Arms Conference proceeding in a spirit
Of friendlness. increasing Importance
Is attached to its outcome as result of
the hopes of President Harding that
the conclave might lay the foundation
for continuing series of conferences
leading TO closer international accord
The President plan was offered only
as a personal suggestion to some of the
foreign delegates. who have generally
approved it. 1t was an outstanding
topic of discussion in Conference circles
today.
The delegations convened this morn
ing for another committee session to
take formal action on their virtual de-
CisiOn yesterday for gradual abolish
ment of extra territorial rights in
China.
Submission Of the result of the pres
cnt negotiations for approval, not only
to the participating nations but to those
not represented here, including Ger
many and Russia, was inCfcated as a
possible first step toward world wide
Endorsement of the conference plan. 1t
is hoped that the smaller governments
might join with the Powers in future
discussions affecting the world sltua-
ton generally.
Put forward by no means as def
mite proposal at this stage, the plan as
offered by the President was understood
to have embraced no details, nor was
there any indication that any covenant
or constitution would be proposed as its
basis. This would accord generally with
its possible fullfilment, eventually, of
President IIarding's association of ma
tiOnS" idea.
The Presidents informal proposal
comes at n time of growing indication
that further negotiations will be neces-
sary to consummate the task begun here,
a case in point already reached being the
virtual decision of the Conference yes
terday to send an international commit
tee of jurists to investigate China s
judicial system.
Iron the report of this committee the
governments concerned would base their
Judgment of the efficiency of the Chinese
courts and determine their course in
Withdrawing the foreign tribunals
within China, the gradual abolishment
Of which was agreed upon in principle
yesterday.
Framing Of formal resolution
declaring this purpose Of the Conference
was left to n sub committee headed by
Senator Lodge, which was prepared to
report to the Conference today.
The Far Eastern Committee of the
whole also was expected to conclude
today its discussion of the question OF
abolishing foreign postotfices in China,
no decision having been reached on that
yesterday.
