nial, anniversary of the birth of the
late Dr. John William Draper, whose
Improvement on the process Daguerre

graph of the human face.
Daguerre had believed that no man
could ever reproduce the human coun

Dr, Draper gained distinction also
by explaining the purification of the
blood by the lungs. With. films of thin
material and soap bubbles he showed
that gases pass freely through thin
partitions of many substances till the
pressure of the gas on either sideMa
equal, and that in .this way thV oxygen
taken in the lungs passes through the
blood and Is absorbed, while the car
bon dioxide In the blood passes into
the lungs and is exhaled. '
Dr. Draper was. born in England,
May 45, J811, and came to the United
