OF artists of note The statement was
made that painters-eyen those of great
reputation-draw largely upon their
imagination, especially in the depic-
tion of comparatively unknown lands
and the wild beasts which inhabft them.
The Holly chieftain., 1899-07-07

This broad assertion caused young
Belgian artist to speak lovingly of a
German colleague, Wilhelm kuhnert,
whose achievements are comparatively
unknown in America and who deserves
to be better known in land whose
people delight to honor intrepidity and
deyotion to duty, wherever they may
find it.
Kuhnert was born September 2s, 1865,
in the little German city of Oppeln. He
studied at the Berlin academy. under
Profs Thumann and Hildebrandt, i'm
mediately securing recognition as a
clever portrait painter. But portrait
work was too tame for the ambitious
young fellow, who passed all of his
leisure hours in the Berlin geological
gardens, where he observed the habits
and movements of domesticated as well
as wild animals. In the course of
few months he surprised his instructors
and the art editors of the great German
illustrated journals by submitting to
them 4 series of sketches of lions and
tigers. These drawing were eagerly
purchased by enterprising publishers
and reproduced in German, Austrian,
English and French periodicals.
Instead of having his head turned by
such words of commendation the young
artist concluded to undertake n journey
to East Africa for the sole purpose of
Itudying the lion, the tiger, the rhin-
oceros and other strange beasts in their
native lair.While en- route to the German
East African possessions he stopped
or time at Cairo and other Egyptian
cities, filing his sketch books with
little treasures which afterward were
eagerly purchased by lovers of genuine
art and which the critics have pro-
aounced gems of the purest ray.
Kuhnert organized mis- exploring and
.ketching expedition at Tanga. His
force consisted of few carriers, a
guide and a cook, of WHOSE natural
goodness the artist speaks words of
highest praise, in direct contradiction
of other travellers who have pronounced
these natives treacherous and lazy.
Whenever Kuhnert's little expedition
touched native villages it found a
hearty welcome; and eggs, flour, chick
ems, corn and sugar cane were always
offered in exchange for European tri-
fes. The negro men would stand for
hours behind his camp chair and would
accompany every movement of brush
or pencil with eloquent gestures.
While camping not far from Kisuani,
in fat but waterless prairie. the artist
met the lion whose picture accompa-
nies this article. The king of beasts
emerged from the high grass, looked
at the white man and his tent, and
disappeared with truly royal dignity.
Unlike many travellers, Kuhnert has

Novel Dancing Contest,

There was recently discussion in
Rome as to the number of steps which
an expert dancer could make in a
given time, and, in order to decide the
matter definitely, it was arranged to
give ball and to award prizes to those
dancers who excelled in this respect.
The competition began at ten o'clock
in the evening and ended at five O'Clock
next morning. AT the close it was
found that the best record had been
made by a woman, who had danced 2s.-
900 steps, of which 5000 were waltz
steps, and that next to her came an
other woman, who had danced 81 900
steps. To these two, therefore, the
first and second prizes were awarded.
The record of the men who competed
was not satisfactory, as not one of them
succeeded in dancing even as many as
$4,000 steps. If we reckon that two
dance steps are equivalent to one step
which person takes when walking
we shall find that the lady who won
the first prize and who was crowned
queen OF the ball covered at least two
miles during the seven hours that she
was dancing.-N. Y. Herald.
