Innumerable experiences prove that all
tghost stories have II rational eNpl1na-
ton, and that some natural cause can b.
found for any seemingly supernatural oc-
currence Sometimes it requires great
GOODNESS and self possession to remember
this, but the effort to do so is worth max
ing, for it may save life or reason. y
striking illustration of this was the tragic
experience of Dutch painter. named
pentemau, who lived in the eighteenth
century.
Penteman had u commission which re
quired the portrayal of skeletons, death S
heads and other objects intended to in
spire contempt for the frivolities and van
tiles of the time. In order to have models
before him he painted his picture in an
anatomical museum. One day he had been
sketchiug tho CHASTITY objects which sur
rounded him when he fell asleep.
Suddenly he was awakened by an eX-
traordinary noise. He was Mortified II
see all the deaths heads nodding and
grimacing, and the skeletons dancing
about and waving their fieshless arms
madly in the air Penteman fled from
the frightful scene and escaped into the
street. lie was picked up unconscious and
half dead with fright. As soon as he was
rational, it was explained to him that
there had been an earthquake, and that
that had caused the commotion among the
anatomical specimens, but the shock had
been too severe; he died in a few days
