CHINESE ART.
TIVE Distinct Msthods In oep'sei"a
sosass Of Mature And Life.

sooaas Of Mature ard Life.
Chinese paintings are subjects
that until very recently were out
slightly known to occidental stu
dents of art. Yet recently light on
this subject shows that some OF the
Chinese artists as early a. the hrst
crusade had created paintings not
only cleverly drawn and masterfully
colored, but filed with that subtle
artistic sense that is universally un-
derstood and appreciated by cultur-
ed mankind.
Chinese temples have furnished
the best examples of Chinese paint
ings, just as the great cathedrals OF
Europe have given to western civili-
zation the best pictures from the
brushes of the Italian, French and
Flemish artists. These paintings
are mostly Chinese landscapes, al
though the hunting picture of Chao
Meng Flu, called 'Mongols Hunt
ing" is one of the most famous Chi
nese pictures. Nature studies, espe-
cially of birds, are frequent.
But the most singular and inter
esting point about Chinese painting
is perhaps the fact that the two dis
tinct methods were used. The first
was called the "kakemono" method.
in which the view was supposed to
be the same as if one stood on the
top of a hill and looked down on
the painting, in place of standing in
front about on a level.
This method, coupled with some
queer views as to perspective val
ues, is what causes Chinese paint
ings to have their weird appearance
to foreign eyes when the beholder
has never studied Chinese art meth
DDS.
The "kakemono" method is some
times used, and in these paintings
the method used is practically the
same as in our own schools of art.
The finer elements of painting, such
as feeling, repression, color schemes.
etc, are said by art critics to be su-
perblv demonstrated by a number
of the finer Chinese artists.-Spo-
kane Spokesman-Review.

The giraffe is too old to shoot; no

Gently became famous through its bean

method OF getting rid OF tranmps. 1t
consists in nothing less than hand
cufing them and claiming them to
large trees. The Jersey mosquito is
a lusty citizen Of Defiance. and the way
he is set on to those tramps is a
shame and a scandal. The result has
been that as soon as the hobOes were
released they hir the trail out Of De-
