BLSHEVAKS AND ART"

PARADISE, FOR DAUBERS.

Much has been said in a general way about the efforts of Lunacharski, the Bol- shevik Minister of Education, to stimulato the arts in Russia, but little has been heard of. bis.

bis actual achievements in this direction. A few details of an interest- ing character have now been supplied br Professor G., of the Petrograd Academy of "Arts, who has succeeded in escaping from the Communist Paradise" and reaching Berlin (writes the special carrea pondent of the Daily Telegraph).

TUTE. 1920.

according to the Professor, who is him- self, well-known artist, the whole sphere of arts has been placed under the control of a board of seven members. Four of them. are apostles of faturism and conse quently this school now offers much the best proppacts of pecuniary-sucoasa - Ita remunerativeness has been further consid Ferably increased by a rule laid down by the board that all pictures passed by: the official jury must be paid for at a uniform rate of 7,000 roubles each. Whe ther it is a painstaking composition which has absorbed the concentrated labour of many months, or a futurist) poster knocked off ja a few hours. the artist's roward is the same. Naturally, under such indiscriminating incentives. the number of artists in Russia haa multiplied rapidly. Many people who, before the happy dawn of Bolshevism, never had a paint brush in their hands.

In his perplexity the Pro- fessor applied for counsel to Maxim Gorki, but only received urgent advice. to give up his plan. However, be made farther inquiries, and in the end found someone who promised to arrange an escape for him. One day a rough Finn, evidently a professional criminal, came to the Professor's home, took away hia Juggage, and told him to leave Petrograd with his family by the evening train for one of the stations on the narrow gauge line which runs along the north shore of the Gulf to the Finnish frontier. The Professor carried out these instructions, and was met at the station by the Finn, who guided the party down to the water's edge. A rowing boat took them out through the difficult shallows into deep Fater Here they were put on board a mal ailing craft, in which they inade for the Finnish coast. They had not been under weigh more than a quarter of an hour before they were picked up by one of the Kronstadt searchlights, and became the mark of brisk artillery fire. Fortun ately, the shooting was not accurate, and they ranched their haven, in safety." The Fina's parting words were:

WANDERING BOTTLES.

The story of the wandering bottles haa. come to life again. Originally the Dorset const bottle was said to have drifted to New Zealand via Capo Horn- and the South Pacific so that, without any motive power within itself, it must have success ially forged ahead at a rate of nearly fifty miles per day against the violent bead winds and contrary current off the Hora! All who are conversant with ocean. currents know that the story can be nothing else than a silly concoction. Equally silly is the story of the bottle said to have been beached near Port Philip, having covered 7,000 miles in five months. This would indicate a steady drift along a straight line at forty-six miles per day. The Australian Govern ment authorities have for many years col lected the records of current bottles, These two, needless to say, are not includ ed in the list.
