London Newspaper Tells Of meritori-
GUS Pictures Made Quickly by
Travelling Artist

While great painters have spent

Impossible as this sounds, it is a
fact, and the artist m question is AL

1t was an extremely dull day, with
dark clouds overhead. when a crowd
of holiday makers stopped to watch a
smart looking man, mounted on plat
form, transforming a plain piece of
canvas into marvellous scene of beau
~. Every one forgot the dark. gloomy
atmosphere as they were transported,
first, to a beautiful spot in North
Wales, and then to a picturesque cas-
tie. And il was all done in 10 min
utes
They were pictures to be proud of,
too painted with taste and an eye to
the artistic. AS fest as they were
painted so were they sold TO the adj
miring audience.
There is no doubt that there will be
a great demand for rapid" artists in
the near future, when we get some OF

MOTION PICTURES IN ITALY
Development OF Industry in That
Country Makes it Second Only
to the United States.

The production of motion pictures,
says the United States commerce re-
pert, is an industry for which physi-
cal conditions in Italy and the Italian
temperament are peculiarly favorable,
and consequently this branch of activi-
ty early attained high degree of de
velopment. Italy now claims to rank
second to the United States among
the nations of the world in the manu-
featuring of motion pictures. An idea
of the Importance of this industry in
the economic life of the country can
be derived from the fact that the work
ing capital employed is now estimated
at 100000 900 lire and the actual capt.
tai invested at 10O000.000 lire. There
are eighty-two companies engaged in
the production of films, of which the
greater number are located at Rome,
which naturally presents unusual adj
vantages from the scenic standpoint.
The annual production of new films
in Italy has reached 100000 meters,
and if it is estimated that forty copies
are made from each negative the total
of printed films is 64,0O0,000 meters.

BATHING and Health.

The Hebrews, Hindus and Moham-
medans. as part of their religion,
are required to keep the body clean
by frequent ablutions and baths and
this has had a far-reaching effect up
on the healthfulness of those people.
When the Roman empire fell, the mag
niGcent system of baths, which it's
people had and used for cleanliness
of body, soon lapsed into decay. Only
In Spain, under the MoOrs, was the
system Of bathing kept up. There, to
conform to the religious rites of Is
lam. luxurious baths were maintained,
but when the MOors were expelled the
misguided piOus people RACED to the
ground these remnants of heathenism.
