DAILY ENQUIRER - SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA TUESDAY MORNING, JULY '>0, 1886. 7 COMPOSITE PHOTOGRAPHY. l.T.'iity Kun'N BIpimIhI IiiIii (Ini'—A CnrliiiiM Art Kxiicrlnidil, New York Journal of Commerce. There have been recent occasional no tices of a somewhat curious development in the photographic art, by which the features of several persons are combined In a single picture, the result not bcW the “counterfeit presentment” of any one sit ter, but an idenl face, combining the char acteristics of all the individuals helping to supply the material. In a late number of Harper’s Bazar, P. tV. Higginson writes as follows on the sub ject: liefo o me stands a cabinet photograph of young girl, with clear and thoughtful eyes, dark hair and eyebrows, oval face, straight nose and well-rounded chin. All who see it are attracted by it, yet the uni verse would be vainly searched for the original in a woman’s form. It is one of these wonders of recent art known os “composite portraits;” it does not repre sent one person, but twenty; it is the col lective likeness of twenty young girls—one whole section of the senior class of a wo man’s college in Massachusetts. * # * There is something very fascinating to the imagination about a composite portrait. It is a link between the real ana the ideal, the photographer emulating with more precision the constructive imagination of the painter. * 51 A correspondent at Montrose, Pa., in sending the above extract, is curious to know how twenty faces may thus appear as one without a blurring of features. An explanation has been furnished us by Mr. A. D. Fisk, dealer in photographic outfits, who says that the difficulty can be over come in the process which is described us follows: A sensitized glass plate is em ployed and exposed to the sitters in turn, each taking his proportion of the line nec essary to complete the picture. The point occupied by the lirsl sitter's eyes is mark ed in pencil on the ground glass of the camera, and the focus so adjusted to the next sitter that the pupils of his eye shall exactly cover the point occupied' by the previous sitter’s pupils. If there are ten persons to be taken and the plates require thirteen seconds’ exposure, eaclrsitter will have the plate exposed to him for three sec onds only. When all have had their.turn the picture is finished in the ordinary way. it is natural to suppose tliaL where there is a great difference in feature among the sitters there must be indistinctness of out line in the picture. One or two broad noses, for example, among a number of thin and aouiline would seem almost cer tainly to make the outline of the nose in distinct, and it is admitted that this is more or Jess true, though it is said that the pre dominant features determine the contour of the picture. Wo have before us a repro duction on wood of two composite photo graphs, one taken from life and made up of the faces of three Indian girls, the other taken 1'romd.hree photographs of the same individuals. A comparison between the controlling face in the pictures with her face taken by itself shows a considerable blurring of features and weakening of ex pression. Tile product has been claimed to be a sort of type, or average manor woman of the class represented. If twenty congress men, for example, are the sitters, the pie- lure will he that of the average congress man; if tile Presbyterian general assembly' are taken, the product will lie the average Presbyterian minister. So we may get the average New York alderman, the average burglar, pickpocket, etc., and study class in its collective form. Thus far, however, no high philosophical results seem to lie promised, even if mechanical success is as sured, which seems to he only partially the ■case. The process is not patented, and so far as yet appears it is little else than an ingenious experiment. In an article on the subject in a recent number of Science the writer says : “It is premature to judge of the value of composite portraits. They are certainly curious and interesting.” READSTiTE ROMANCE. any reasonable kindness If he would not ibuse the leniency shown. Officer and '"■isoiier started for the west on the even ing train.

V., July 18.—Detect ive llartineu,of Chicago, yesterday entered the office of John \V. 1’nelps. superintend ent of the Fishkill Landing and AlaUewan water works, at Fishkill Landing, and ar rested him on the charge of bigamy. ’I hc detective says that in 18,(i John \Y. Phelps was a resident of Spring Held, Mass., and president of a railroad running through dial place. Ill 1895 he married Helen li. Clark at Northampton, and in 1876 they were living ill one of tin; finest places in Springfield, worth Sol),000 or 800,000. Thi^j had a sewing girl named Fanny Tiiaye., and Phelps, I) ccoming infatuated witli her, went away with tier to Paris, re maining mere two years. While there lie sent for his wife, to effect, if possible, a re conciliation. They met in Liverpool. She returned to America without him, but iie soon followed after and went back to Springfield. In the meantime a child had been born to him by Fanny Thayer in Paris. Pheips lived witn his wife Jong enough together to sign away the Springfield home, and then went off again to join Alias Thayer, the two going to Maryland, where Phelps and his father, Wiilis Phelps, were building a railroad, t’nknown to his wife he brought a divorce suit, and was given a decree. His wife, learning tlie fact, pro cured counsel, and in January, 1882, the divorce obtained was set aside on the ground of perjury , conspiracy and fraud. Phelps next went to St. Paul, Minn., with Fannie T'uayer and married lu-r, and went. With her to Washington, where they learned that the divorce had been set aside. They at once started lor Canton, Dak., and Phelps started another divorce proceeding. Tile suit was called, no defense being ex pected. At tlie opening of the court, how ever, Mart Bangs, formerly United States District Attorney, got up and told the court that he represented Helen E. Phelps, who was the legal wife of John A. Phelps, and was ready for trial. This was a bomb shell, and at once the case on the part of Phelps was adjourned, and lias not come up since, five months ago the legal wife ol Phelps accidently met him in Fourleent li street, New York, and attempted to follow him, but losing site of him she sent for Detective llurtman. The detective learned that he was superintendent of the Mat- tewan and Fishkill Water-works and the arrest followed. Mr. Phelps is a quiet, gentlemanly man, and very attentive to business. Ills alleged wife, Fannie Thayer, is a young and hand some Woman. Phelps lias a soil by wife No. 1, who has just been graduated from Yale College and is now boarding at the Mount Gidli.m house, Fishkill Landing. Tlie father of the accused man died at Springfield, Mass., two years ago, and left a will giving his son Henry, who is a wealthy rc,-4aeut of Minnesota, 8250:000 out and out, and to John W. the same amount in trust, the estate being valued at over $500,000, and the will further states that under no consideration shall any part of the money go to Fanny Thayer. The document is now being contested in the Massachusetts courts. Tlie prisoner was taken to the sheriff’s office in Poughkeepsie, and Judge Guern sey, of the county court, was seut for, to whom the detective showed a requisition from Governor Hubbard, of Minnesota. Then Phelps showed a certificate of mar riage with Fanny Thayer, in Jersey City, on June 3, 1885, and a paper certifying that on July 29, 1881, he was granted a decree of divorce from his wife, Helen E. Phelps, in Cass county, Dakota. He was willing to acknowledge his identity as the man want ed. After Judge Guernsey decided to de liver Phelps to the detective, Phelps and the latter had a talk in which the prisoner hoped that he would not be hadcuffed. The officer told him that he would extend Nervous, lleliUitnteii Men.
