PhotocrapnY 100 Years Old

This is the centenary of photog-
raphy. So rapidly does the world
progress, so essential a part of our
civilization has become the taking Of
pictures. that it is difficult to realize
that the art was unknown when Mon
roe first entered the White House.
Yet in 1920 Niepce. first Of, all men,
succeeded in producing what might be
called photograph, rude impression
on silver plate rendered sensitive by
layer Of asphaltum saturated with
oil of lavender.
And though this discovery awakened
worldwide interest at the time, this
method could not be put into general
use, and not until 1889 did Daguerre
succeed in producing the first practical
photograph. After that date the art
advanced rapidly, SO rapidly, in tact,
that before 1850 the daguerreotype
was common in every village. in every
family. From the silver plates of
Niepce to the motion picture Of today
liz a long step. step which but illus
trates the rapidity with which modern
civilization advances.

BONES OF HISTORIC RACE
Anthropoiogists Intensely interested In
Discovery Of indian Skeletons
in California. e,.

New indications that California was
once inhabited by race Of gigantic
Indians was furnished when sewer dig
gers on Ferry and Howard: streets, in
the heart of the business district Of
Martinez, CAL, uncovered an Indian
burial ground, with skeletons meas
uring more than seven feet
Several skulls and one well-pre-
served skeleton are to be given over
to the investigators of the anthro-
pology department of the University
Of California. The skulls and skele-
tons are declared to be Of highly im-
portant and scientific value.
Discovery Of the burial ground has
revived an old Indian legend that an
immense treasure Of gold nuggets
was: inferred with body of chief
of the ancient tribe Of the giant In
dams. So Convinced are the residents
in the truth Of this legend that great
crowds have tLrongcd around the
sewer diggers. largely han'pering
theil. activities, and more than a
score Of persons have applied to the
municipal authorities for positions ON
the city's sewer digging crew.
According to the ancient Indian
legend, the vast gold treasure was
buried in close proximity to where the
bones were recovered. -':}' IT,.
Eight years ago William Altman,
curator of the museum in Golden

that skeletons unearthed near Con-

The relics found by highway work

Of centuries, in the opinion Of d. l.
Gates, city recorder, who has lived in

go years. He points out that in the
hills back of Big Eddy trails worn in
the rock may be seen, evidence of the
activities of Indians who used these
trails for hundreds of years. Mr..
Gates says that at Big Eddy the In

any other place along the river and
have been making the trip to that
place annually probably ever since sal

Ing to speculate upon what would have
happened at Constantinople had Ger
many won instead of lost the great
war. What would have been Talaat' s
position? Short Of absolute treachery
on the part of Berlin, the Turkish
grand vizier would doubtless have been
maintained as the ostensible ruler of the
state. Turkeys position in Europe
would have been strengthened, sub
ject, Of course, to Germany's Will.
Armenian massacres would not neces-
sarily have been stopped.
The facts of Talaat's abominable
deeds were well known in Berlin when
the German envoy at Constantinople
was intriguing to bring Turkey into
the war. There was no hint Of dis
approval. There was no effort to stop
the abomination. The terrible Turk"
had virtually mandate from Berlin
for his bloody work.
Perhaps the people Of Germany were
not aware of what was doing in Con-
stantinople before and during the early
stages of the war. 1t may re suspected
that the mass of the people knew
little, indeed. of what was going on In
the world beyond what the govern
ment permitted them to know, and it
was assuredly not part of the German
propaganda to spread the news that
the kaiser was virtually partner in
one of the most abominable crimes in
the history of civilization.
