TO PAINT WILD ANIMALS.
A STUDIO CAGE FOR THE CONVENIENCE
OF ARTISTS

The new lion house at the Bronx Park is hecom-
ing the rendezvous of the animal painters of this
city and the lions seem to enjoy being painted

Old Dom Paul the patriarch of the Bronx
Park lion house, is the most sought out model
Dom Paul is every inch the lion. awake or

painter of animals But Dom Paul loves his

a habit of Iapsing into Royalty in Repose'
that keeps artistic throats dry devising fresh
calls to wake him up.
But notwithstanding such little Incidents if
one is determined to paint lions the place pre-
eminently suited for the painting of them is
the new Bronx Park lion house. One of the first
artists to avail himself of its exceptional ad-
vantages for the study of animal life was John
Hanson Walker, jr., an English animal painter,
who has recently come to this country. Mr..
Walker is commissioned to paint Dom Paul by
wealthy collector of animal paintings in this
city.
The new studio cage is at one end Of the build
ing shut off from the main lion house, so that the
artists may be free from interruption from the
public when at work. There are two parts to 1t,
the auditorium and the cage. The former is 20 by
II feet with platforms ranged one above the
other SO that number of artists working at
the same time may not interfere with one
another. About thirty artists be accommo-
dated at once. The studio cage is arranged di-
rectly under a big skylight, and when lion is
wanted by the artists the animal is driven into
a car or shifting cage lowered to a subway
with the studio cage, to which
the car containing the animal is raised by
means of lift Then it is an easy matter TO
get the animal from the shifting car safely in
side the studio cage by simply opening the gates
and throwing in bit of meat. With the animal
inside the cage in a perfect light and no by
