PAINTED IN FIVE MINUTES London Nswtpapsr Tslls of Meritori ous Pleturot Mad' Quickly by Traveling Artist while great painter have spent week perhaps mouths on a sluiple study, a young artist 1 turning out de lightful view of the ea and country In five minutes, say London Answers. Impossible as tbls sounds. It Is a fact, and the artist rn question Is Al bert Croukshaw ot Manchester. It was an extremely dull day, with dark clouds overhead, when a crowd of holiday makers stopped to watch a smart looking man, mounted on a plat form, transforming s plain piece of cnuvas Into a marvelous scene of beau ty. 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 tle. And it was all done lu 10 min utes. They were pictures to be proud of, too, puluted with taste and an eye to Uie artistic. As fust as they were pnlnted so were they sold to the ad miring audience.

In a neat little hand bonk Issued by the traveling painter they will find all the businesslike methods explained clearly and simply. It Is a really useful short cut to rapid paint lug. MOTION PICTURES IN ITALY Development of Industry In That Country Makes It Second Only , to th United States. The production of motion pictures, snys 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 a high degree of de velopment. Ituly now claims to rank second to the United Stutes among the nations of the world In the manu facturing of motion pictures. An Idea of the importance of this Industry In the economic life of the country can be derived from the fuct thnt the work ing capital employed is now estimated at 300.000,000 lire and the actual capi tal Invested at 100,000.000 lire. There are eighty-two companies engaged In the production of Alms, of which the greater number are located at Rome, which naturally presents unusunl ad vantages from the scenic standpoint The annual production of new films In Itnly has reached 1,600,000 meters, and if it Is estimated that forty copies are mnde from each negative the total of printed films Is 64.000,000 meters, Stage's Debt to Minstrelsy.

The Hebrews, Hindus and Moham medans, as a 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 henlthfulneRS of those people. When the Roman empire fell, the mag nificent system of baths, which Its 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- ain, luxurious balhs were maintained. but when the Moors were expelled the misguided pious people rn7-ed to the ground these 'remnants of heathenism.
