Art of Daguerre.

A LTHOUGH the improvements in
biography are made SO rapidly
nowadays that even the professionaI
photographer can hardly keep track
OF them, there are many picture
makers who believe that the world
will turn back to the daguerreotype
for its beautiful and artistic portraits
IT is more than thrce-quarters OF .
century since the scientific world was
aroused by the announcement thai
Daguerre, a Freedman. had discovered
a method of fixing the image made by
the camera obscura. 1t was a cruo"
method then. The first picture. OF
three standing in the sun, required
half an hour or more OF exposure
That was the same year in which
Samuel F. B. Morse went to Europe
to exhibit his new electric telegraph.
The two inventors met by appoint
ment in Paris and explained their
work to each other.
Daguerre's plate was Of pure silver.
1t was thoroughly cleansed and pol
ished. In a dark room it was next
coated with a Aim deposited by the
the camera Still protected from the
light, it was placed over the fumes OF
hot mercury. which developed the
| image, and it was then made perma
nent with chlorid of gold.
This process was soon improved
| until on bright days the sitting for a
| daguerreotype was reduced to ten.
| cam eti,nea tn five secAnds Even with
this short exposure. however, the
likenesses were remarkable. It is
possible to assume an artificial ex-
preston and hold it for the brief sec
ond before a modern camera, but 10
remain motionless for the long time
required by q daguerreotype, It was
necessary that the features should be
| in repose in their natural position.
I The daguerreotype was a positive,
| Impossible to retouch. 1t was OF q
soft, fesh-like tone. which even to-
day, in the specimens of the art pre-
served in collections and among fam
! lily relics. wins admiration. The da :
guerreotype gave way to the cheaper
ambrotype, which was on glass, and
required a dark background to show
| it off; and this, in turn. was succeed
cd by the glass negative and the pa :
per positive print. None of them has
ever attained the delicacy or the soft
ness OF the daguerreotype.

one OF these men demanded. What
do YOU mean by cutting in on our

"Ain't this public park" Mr.. Har-
mon demanded hotly. we got Ii

sssailed them, I'VE never played this
game before. and we don't know any,

done wrong
1t was explained to them. with some
heat, that they must go to the first
tee. start there, and follow the Gus
tomary route.
AS they made their way back
toward the starting place Mr.. Har-

The clerk bowed.

eorrowfully.
The clerk bowed again and withdrew.
He returned presently with two cylin-
drical bags, from which protruded the
shiny heads Of a number Of new clubs.
Mr.. Harmon and Mr.. Bassett glared
at the implements with disapproving
eyes.

That's splendid" Mr.. Bassett ad

Monday afternoon:'
~An right, sir, Monday afternoon,
Mr. Harmon agreed. That's fine"
On Monday afternoon Mr.. Bassett
and Mr.. Harmon arrived at Van Cort-
landt links.
Il suppose We better kind OF watch
these fellows for a little while and
find out what they do" Mr.. Harmon
'suggested.
SO they strolled aimlessly along
