Wonderfully perfect spear and ar
row-heads, made of obsidian, a rock

place annually probably ever since sal

Photography 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 181.11 Niepce, first of all men,
succeeded In producing what might be
called a photograph, a rude ImpressloB
on a silver plate rendered sensitive by
a layer of aspbaltuni saturated with
oil of lavender.
