Venice without Water.

Venice without water would hardly
be Venice at ALL but we are assured
there is Il possibility that the pictur-
esque Venice of today may become a
city of the past. and eventually Venice
may be waterless.
According 10 Professor Marinelli. the
regular increase in the delta of the
river 20 is such that in process of
time the northern Adriatic will be dry.
anI Venice will no more be upon the
sea. The annual surveys show that
the mean annual Increase OF the delta
during 20 years has been three-tenths
Of square mile.
An encrOachment upon the sea of
three-tenths of i mile in year means
large increase in n century. Ii ap-
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
II will not be necessary TO hurry off
to Venice to take a farewell look at
the city in its present picturesQueness
Professor Marinelii calculates that be-
tween 100 and 120 centuries will elapse
before the entire northern Adriatic will
have become dry land.-Youth's Com
panion.

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 capi-
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 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 n 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 n perfect letter he is
entirely out of the race. About ~
years ago there were five well known
artists of this city who were also ex-
perts at lettering. they having learned
and worked ut this branch previously
