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
IL is but natural to make the In
ouiry. for to the novice some particu-
lar letters are more perplexing than
others Ii Is most generally conceded
by some experts that the Roman capt.
tai letter "R" IL the most difficult.
Others will say that an IS" Is very
hard to make, and many strongly con-
tend that the character "&" 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.
II has Frequently been supposed that
an artist ability on account OF his
grea. 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
most beautiful picture, but when II
comes to forming perfect letter he Is
entirely out OF the race. About Al
years ago there were five well known
artists OF this city who were also ex-
perts at lettering. they having learned
and worked at this branch previously.

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 10 years has been three-tenths
OF n square mile.
An encroachment upon the sea Of
three-tenths OF a mile in n year means
a large Increase In a century. 1t APP
pears that the total increase In six
centuries 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 farewell look ut
the city In Its 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.
