I f' Women Excel in Accurate Report bar of Physical Fact By TIMOTHY WILFRED COAKLEY IE SiEl who wrote that "all men are liars" was not indict ing humanity. 11 was speaking not generically, but spe cifically. He meant not mankind, but us, the men, in con tradistinction to the women. He was right. Lying, like the rapid-fire gun, the "Bos. ton agreement," the tricks of trade, the battleship, 'is a weapon, andI men are the wielders of weapons. Lying is, after all, only brutality refined. Falsehood is cruelty tem pered by cowardice. In the frank age of comnpetitive force man was the strong arn robber. lie brought the spoil to his lady love, but liked to glaze over the bloody detail of acquisition. Many a respectable citiz.en in our era has qualms when his wife congratulates him on the business victory which he has achieved through the fraudulent finesse of commeitial competition. lie tells her he can't explain processes to her, that she has no head for business. lie means she has no heart for it, and his reserve is eloquent of the fact that lie has not, at bottom, either. But lie is born into a con dition and he accepts it. lie wields the weapon and is naturally more expert in its use tlhan the woman. Not that women cannot pick up the tool when it serves their pur pose. Their purpose is different-that's all. Man's temptation is self-assertion, power. Woman's temptation is self-sturrender, helpfulness. Both lie from self-interest, but the self-inter est of mnan is possession, the imposition of his personality upon others; the self-interest of woman is the identification, the absorption of her being through sympathy into that of her environment. It is a question of motives. The standard of honor is no different in the soul of a woman from that which rules in a man. Each is tempted according to the tempera ment. So the question really comes down to this point--what are the psychical elements of differences as between man and woman We shall never get beyond the philosophy of Genesis. Out of the "sleeping" Adam was the woman formed. Forever man carries within him the soul element of the woman. Forever woman bears within her the soul element of man. It is in the proportions of the combination that 'the mystic secret lies. That secret is God's. Hit this much we mav divLine, that woman has the instinctive self, the "sleeping" self, the intuitive self, developed in a higher degree than man. The man has in his makeup more of the Ego, the ''1," the active self. But each has both elemnenits. Twenty years of experience in court trials have convinced me that, other things being equal, the best witnesses are womfeI and children. 'Tihey excel in a vivid and accurate report of the physical fact as it is. That is because temperamentally th'ey are more interested in and re spond more readily to their environient of fact and event. Women will lie unconsciously more readily than men. Men will and do lie consciously more readily than w'omen. Woman, speaking generally, has the finer sense of honor. 'lhornas A.

The photograph was that of Miss Dorothy Catherine Draper. and rhe man who took it was her brother, Dr. John William Draper, professor of chemistry in the university. He had gone a step beyond Daguerre and by this photograph he established hirn self as one of the great inventors of the nineteenth $entury. Not long ago occurred the hundredth anniversary of Doctor Draper's birth and it was celebrated In the auditori um of the university at Aqueduct ave nue and One Hundred and Eighty-first si treet. It was on the roof of the old build ing on Washington place that there was set up, in 1840, the first photo graph gallery In the world. To this gal lery there came to be amazed and de lighted all the notables of the day, in cluding Theodore Frelinghuysen, the candidate for vice-president on the Henry Clay ticket. Professor Draper took the pictures. H-is camera waa a cigar box and his lense the glass from a pair of spec tacles. Doctor Draper's assistant in this gallery., the man who posed the sitters andi attended to the artistic de tails, was Prof., S; F. 1B. Morse,. who only.flve years before and in the same building .had .operated the first tele g*-nph lirte. The pictures, taken in tis gallery wet~o developed by Professor Draper, for' it was hls-exper-iments in regars. to .the clienical action of light that had~ enabled himn to improve the proc ess of D)aguer-re almost as soon as the latter's discovery was made known. It wres In 1839. that Daguerre gave his process to the world, but it was niot then adlaptable to landscapes or por traits. In the same year Professor Dr-aper- announced that he had found the way to jihotogr-aph the human face and to over-conme those obstacles which made the F'renchman's process imper feet .and impractical. In these kodak days the directions which D)octor Draper gave at this time for taking: a photograph are interest ing, At first,. he said, h'e had triled dlusting the. face of a sister with white powder, but he later found that this was- unnecessary. On a bright day and with a sensitive plate, he an nounced, portraits could be obtained in the cour-se of five or seven minutes. "rTe hainds of the sitter," .hs - said in these directions to the camera ticends or that day, "should never rest upon01 the chest, for the motion of res piration disturbs them so. much as to make them of a thick and clumsy ap pear-ance, destroying also the repro sentat ion of the veins- on the back, which, if they are held motioziless, are copied with surprising beauty. - "A iperson dressed in a black coat and open waistcoat of the same color must put on a temporary front- of a drab or flesh color or by the time that his face atnd the fine shadows of his woolen clothing are evolved his shirt will be solarized and will be blue and black with a white halo around it. "Owing to the circumstances that yellow and yellowish browns require a long time to impress the substance of the daguerrotype, persons whose faces are freckled all over give rise to the most ludicrotts results,, a white portrait mottled with just as many black dots as the sitter has yellow ones," On March 22, 1840, Doctor Draper took from the roof of the building the flrst photograph ever taken of the mtoon. His plate was exposed 20 min utes and the image was allout an inch in diameter. The photograph was pre sented to what was then the LYC9Utn of Natural History., It created a great aensation at the time, not only here out abroad, Daguerre's name was 01 given to the photographic proces=3 for many years after this. The man whon New York univer. sity Is about to honoj as the first photographer and a grea't chemist was born an Euglishman. lie came to this country at the age of twenty-two, graduat.d from the University of Penns, Ivania in 1836 and was appoint ed professor of natural philosophy, chemistry and physiology at Ilamp den-Sydney college in Virginia. It was from there that he was called in 1839 to be professor of chemistry at New York university, and he signalized his change of residence by announcing almost immediateiy thereafter his photographic process. He was con nected 'with the university until his dleath ini 1882'... Doctor Draper has frequently been described as a pioneer in the science of prismatic analysis. His discow eries in this field covered a wide range.; He even- anticipated the' incan descent light of Edison when he sug gested as a standard for photomet'ry for white right a piece of platinum foil of given area and thickness heated to incandescent by an electric current of specified strmength. Capillary attraction was the subject of his first researches and from them arose his discovery as' to host the blood is purified, a mystery which had baffled the scientists up to that time. It was in 1847 that he explairned the circulation and purification of the blood in a work that attracted wide attention. Doctor Draper is still remembered at New York university as one of the muost" prodigious workers eyer known. Besides his extensive research work he found time to publish more than a hundred books, monographs and ad dresses. He wrote a history of the Civfl war in three volumes and, his "lflstory of the Intellectual Develop ment of Europe" was translated into every civilizcd tongue. A Lazy Man's Job. Tip, since his early wanderings on the plains, has always said that the softest lazy mxan's job on earth was raising sheep. Sheep are bush feed. er-s. They will thrive von~ eating any thing from dead sago-brush to railroad snow- fences. They will tunnel their muzzles through snow 'to .get a stick underneath for food. Of course they eat the snowv when they get thirsty. Now Tip learns from an official gov ernment report that' an island off the coast of Nova Scotia has been a great success. Not dn attendant with food, not a coper cent. of cost to the own ers, and through two bitterly cold, hard winters those sheep have fat tened and flourished to splendid form and fleece.-New York Press. Ohi "And what is her reason for asking for a divorce?" "Because her husband was in the habit of thro~ving her dresses all over the honse." "That's a funny reason." "Yes, but as a general thing she was inside the dresses whe~n he threw them,"' . God helps those that help them selves. iWeeks-I once knew a man who re ally enjoyed moving. Seeks-I don't believe it.

Burridge told of a man who, returning to' his domicile at cockcrow, underwent an inspection by his wife, who desired to know how he came to have a large bump on his forehead. "That? Oh, that's where I bit my self," explained he of the night key. "Bit yourself?" the lady repeated after him. "How could you bite your self away up there?" "Why, I stood on a chair," he said. Cleveland Leader. To Pray for the Rich. Two women prominent in St. Louis have started a movement to induce 300.000 of their sex in the south to pray every day for the rich. They ex plain they hope by organizing system atically groups of women who will pray often and well for the more af fluent, wealthy persons will be led tc contribute to a fund for the evangeli zation of the world. Belle H. Ben nett, president of the woman's mis sionary council of the Methodist Epis. copal church south, and Mrs. R. W McDonnell are the originators of the plan.
