The Sign Painters.

The question has been asked Of sign
painters hundreds Of times, (which
letter Of the alphabet do you consider
the hardest or most difficult to maker"
1t is but natural to make the in
quiry, for to the novice some particu-
lar letters are more perplexing than
others. 1t is most generally conceded
by some experts that the Roman CAPT
tai letter ''R" is the most. difficult.
Others will say that an rs" is very
hard to make, and many strongly con-
tend that the character IS" is the
hardest and most difficult of any in
the entire alphabet. Practically speak
ing, all of these letters are somewhat
difficult, and to the young beginner
they are not easily mastered.
1t has frequently been supposed that
an artist Of ability on account Of his
great talent, in drawing would Of
course naturally make a good sign
painter, but the experiment has been
tried and given up with unsatisfactory
results.
An artist may draw and paint a
most beautiful picture, but when it
comes to forming a perfect letter he is
entirely out Of. the race. About Al
years ago there were five we'll known
artists of this city who were also ex-
Ierts at lettering, they having learned
and worked at this branch previously.

Venice Without Water.

Venice without water would hardly
be Venice at all, but we are assured
there is a possibility that the pictur-
esque Venice Of today may become a
city Of the past, and eventually Venice
may be waterless.
According to Professor Marinelli, the
regular increase in the delta of the
river Pc is such that in process Of
time the northern Adriatic will be dry,
and Venice will no more be upon the
sea. The annual surveys show that
the mean annual increase Of the delta
during 70 years has been three-tenths
of a square mile.
An encroachment upon the sea of
three-tenths Of a mile in a year means
a large increase in a century. 1t ap-
pears that the total increase in six
.lcenturies has been about 1913 square
miles. The increase is continuing, and
the gulf Of Venice is doomed to dis.
appear.
No immediate alarm need be felt, and
it will not be necessary to hurry of
to Venice to take a farewell look al
the city in it's present picturesqueness
Professor Marinelli calculates that be
tween 100 and 100 centuries will elapse
before the entire northern Adriatic will
have become dry land.-Youth's Com

[ Ov. THAYER'S JOKE on BRYAN
From the Cleveland Press.


EX-Gov. Thayer of Nebraska partici-
pated in what w. j. Bryan thinks Is
the best joke on himself in his career.
. Bryan took an active part In the
campaign in which Gov. Thayer was
elected, as Republican, by about 30,-
900 plurality. He made fifty speeches
against Thayer. Consequently, after
the election, Bryan was not certain
just how Gov. Thayer felt toward him.
At st. Patrick's Day celebration In
Lincoln Gov. Thayer was put down for
an Grafton. Gov, Thayer did not have
printed programme, and depended
upon the secretary of civic organiza-
ton to tell him the parts as they came.
The programme was varied there he
ing speeches, recitations and songs
When Bryan's number was reached the
secretary leaned over and whispered
in Gov. Thayer's ear "W, j. Bryan"
Gov. Thayer arose and Bryan ad,
vanced toward him. The former seem,
ed most cordial, and 1t pleased Brya.
to think that the Governor was no
harboring any malice because, of thos,
campaign speeches made against him

We would be pleased to have the
facts of Mr.. Sewall's work in the inter-

OF Governor Dole in assisting local

Berlin fire-brigade service.
There are fifteen brigade stations in
Berlin, each OF which is served by Il
special network OF fire alarms. From
these stations underground wires radi-
ate in all directions, each wire being
connected with a great number Of

is fitted key for telegraphing to the
station. AS 1t is, however, very
great advantage to be able to maintain
during the progress Of the fire, a good
