PAINTED IN FIVE MINUTES
London Newspaper Tells of Meritori
ous Pictures Made Quickly by
Traveling Artist.
Wiille great painters luive spent
weeks—perhaps months—on a simple
study, a young artist is turning out de
lightful views of the sea and couutr.v
in live minutes, says London Answers.
Impossible as this sounds, it is a
fact, and the artist rn question Is Al
bert Cronkshaw of Manchester.
It was an extremely dull day, with
dark clouds overhead, when a crowd
of holiday makers stopped to watch a
smart looking man. mounted on a plat
form, transforming a plain piece of
canvns Into a marvelous scene of beau
ty. Every one forgot the dark, gloomy
atmosphere as they were transported,
first, to a beautiful spot in North
Wales, and th*n to a picturesque cas
tle. And it was all done In 10 min
utes.
They <vere pictures to be proud of,
too. painted with taste and an eye to
the artistic. As fast as they were
painted so were they sold to the ad
miring audience.
There Is uo doubt that there will be
a great demand for "rapid" artists in
the near, future, when we get some of
those promised houses built, and un
doubtedly the economical housewife
will he on the lookout for good, cheap
pictures to beautify the walls of her
domain. She need search uo further
than the traveling artist, who will com
plete a picture in five minutes and
charge less for it than ulmost any art
dealer.
Here, too, Is an opportunity for any
discharged soldiers who are artistical
ly inclined. In a neat little hand book
Issued by the traveling painter tfiey
will find all the businesslike methods
explained clearly and simply. It Is a
really useful short cut to rapid paint
ing.
MOTION PICTURES IN ITALY
Development of Industry in That
Country Makes it Second Only
to the United States.
Tlie production of motion pictures,
says the United States commerce re
j-ert. Is an industry tor which physi
cal conditions in Italy njid the Italian
temperament are peculiarly favorable,
und consequently this branch of activi
ty early attained a high degree of de
velopment. Italy now claims to rank
secoud to the Unltedr Slates among
the nations of the world in the manu
facturing of motion pictures. An idea
o: the Importance of this Industry in
the economic life of the country can
be derived from the fact that the work
ing capital employed is now estimated
at 3ftO.nno.ooii lire and the actual capi
tal invested at 100.000.000 lire. There
nre eighty-two companies engaged In
the production of films, of which the
greater liiuulier are located at Rome,
which naturally presents unusual ad
vantages from the scenic standpoint.
The annual production of new films
in Italy has reach--' l.tlOO.OOO meters,
und if it is estimated that forty copies
nre made from each i e .ativo the total
of printed tilms Is (W.'lOO.isOO meters.

Bathing and Health.
The Hebrews. Hindus and Moham
medans. as a part of their religion,
are required to keep the body clean
by frequent ablutions and baths and
this has: had a far-reaching effect up
on the healthfulness of those people.
When the Roman empire fell, the mag
nificent system of baths, which its
people had and used for cleanliness
of body, soon lapsed into decay. Only
In Spain, under the Moors, was the
system of bathing kept up. There, to
conform to the religious rites of Is
lam, luxurious baths were maintained,
bnt when the Moors were expelled the
misguided pious people razed to the
ground these remnants of heathenism.
Ad Kn^lisli novelist visiting tins sine

Of course It Is, but it needs no wise
acre from the British Isles to tell us
that. If our English cousins persist

trr'rathii re-iulrs to rhe British feel
ings.
Kaiser Talked of Second Clasn
While First Was Raging,
Says Erzberger.
SOUGHT WORLD SUPREMACY
Parliamentary Leaders Stunned by
Unexpected Display of Imperial
Mentality—Was Hardest
Blow to Old System.
Itorlln, Germany—Former German
Emperor William confidently expected
to emerge victorious from the world
war and tlien marshal his continental
armies against Great Britain In what
he termed "the second Punic war,"
says Mathius Erzberger In his volume
of war recollections just published at
Stuttgart. The emperor evidently
used the term "I'unlc war" in the
sense of a conflict for world suprem
acy between two great nations.
Herr Erzberger, who was formerly
minister of finance but who has tem
porarily retired from public political
activities, set forth In detail the meet
ing between the emperor, William, and
the relchstag leaders after t]ie fall of
Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg and
following the adoption of the peace
resolution In July. 1017.
"Corrlpromise" Means "Take All."
He says the emperor became enthu
siastic over the phrase "peace or
compromise." which he assumed was
what the reichstag majority demanded.
"Excellent word — 'Compromise.' "
William stated, "it means that we
take the money, raw products, cot
ton. oil and ores out of the pockets
of our enemies and transfer them to
our own."
lilt* Jllll IIMIllt-Mlllft J .....
Erzberger continues, were astonished
by this unexpected display of imperial
mentality nnd felt that tliey were he
Ins tnnde the victims of his mockery.
The emperor's further remarks were
In the same channel, he declares.
William asserted that the United
States and Oreat Iirltain had entered
Into an alliance for the purpose of
reckoning with Japan after the war.
He was also reliably Informed that
Russia would join Japan In warding
off the Abglo-Saxon blow. He admit
ted that Great F.rltaln would not
emerge from the war defeated, hnt
said the final accounting would come
when he led his continental armies
against her in "the second Punic war."
Promised French Entente.
The amazement of the parliamenta
rians grew as the kaiser continued,
llerr Krzherger reports. The mon
arch asserted that "a complete under
standing would be reached with
France when tin- war was over."
Referring to a battle in Uallcln
which occurred only a few days pre
vious. the kaiser claimed that the
Prussian guard under the command
of his son Fritz had "brushed the
democratic dust off the vests of the
Russians."
"Wherever the guards appear there
Is no longer any democracy left," he
eiehimed.
T ic Roumanians got their just des
sert?. the war lord told llerr Krz
berg t when the latter suggested that
the poor Roumanians had probably
lost everything hnt their shirts.
llerr Erzherger adds that the whole
meeting between the kaiser and the
parliamentary leaders was not only a
grave misfortune, but It proved "the
deepest cut with the spade that ulti
mately resulted in the overthrow of
the prevailing regime."
lie concludes the chapler with the
statement that the relchstng veterans,
who up to thnt time were opposed to
the parliamentary system, thnt very
night openly avowed that the old sys
tem would Inevitably plunge Germanj
into disaster.
Ostrich Chick Whips
House Cat and Dog
Vancouver, 15. C.—Jonathan,
the first ostrich*chick hutched In
Canada, is progressing under the
care of Zoo Manager F. Green in
Stanley park. It was at first
believed that the valuable bird
could not live and It was taken
from its parents and placed in
the Green home. Appearance of
weakness proved deceptive, for
Jonathan quickly licked the
house cat and secured a decision
over the family spaniel.
TAKE EVEN VERDUN LIGHTS
Depredations of Souvenir Hunters
Cause of Fort Being Closed to
Visitors."
Paris.—A lesson to tourists too anxi
ous to take away with then) souvenirs
of the battle front lias just been given
by the military authorities of Fort
Vaux, which has hitherto been open
to visitors to Verdun.
The authorities have decided to close
the fort indefinitely. A few days ago
a tourist took possession, doubtless as
a souvenir, of an electric lamp bulb.
He was Indiscreet enough to make
flourish of the bulb in a Verdun cafe.
The. military authorities confiscated
the bulb, and then came the order
making the fort "out of bounds" to
visitors,
