Term in Prison MAY
Be on Penal Board
Philadelphia Put In.
mates to Work During
3-Year Stay in Cell.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, May 81. - The
Philadelphia Record said today 1t had
learned from an authoritative source
that Henry G.. Brock. socially promi-
nent banker, who served three years in
the Eastern Penitentiary, would be
named member Of the Board Of PriS-
on inspectors.
The appointment, 1t was stated would
be made by the board of prison judges
on June and, according to the paper,
is certain to be accepted.
Selection of a former Inmate Of the
prison as a member OF the Board OF
Inspectors is without local precedent.
In 1923 Brock was charged with hav-
ing killed three persons, two women
and boy, with an automobile. 1t was
believed generally that a woman was
driving the car at the time of the &C
the name of his companion, pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to to 10
years.
He was characterized as a model
prisoner from the beginning of his
term. His interest in the welfare Of
the other prisoners changed their view
point within a fortnight, and they
sought his friendship and accepted his
advice.
Brock saw that hundreds of men
were wasting their lives away in idle
ness and brooding over their misfor-
tune His wealth enabled him to pur-
chase tools and machinery. He set an
example of industry, and soon the
spirit of Brock" was noted throughout
the prison.
Even after he was pardoned in 1925
Brock did not forget those he had left
behind, and he has done much to make
prison life better

Beginning of Photography.

The real beginning Of photography
took place just 80 years ago, when word
spread about Paris that Louis Jacques
Mande Daguerre, famous scene paint
er Of the city, had succeeded in making
a picture merely by the action of light
on piece of prepared metal.
The seeming miracle performed by
sunlight in changing the colors of OBJ
tects it touched, as in tanning the skin
had aroused curiosity at least since the
time Of the early Greeks. The alche-
mist, Fabricus, for one, living in the
sixteenth century, made a contribution
without knowing it when in his search
for the transmitting substance he found
that a solution Of nitrate of silver would
turn black when exposed to light.

Although his body was useless, his
mind was unusually active and IN the
midst of intense suffering, he main-
tanned cheerful and hopeful spirit.
So firmly did he believe In Divine mani

that his bedside became q community

points to visit him. Ministers OF vary
