stretch Of three miles in width. The
people who were about exhausted from
fighting the flames for the past three
days were forced to flee for their lives.
The flames spread so rapidly that the
people had to leave everything and run
through the clearings two miles dis

fell exhausted and were trampled on
but reached Highland in safety. Moth

Broderip and Sir Richard Owen, says
the latter III his "reminiscences, "
walked together to Turner'S residence,
which was slightly dingy in outward
appearance. When they arrived at the
door, they waited SOME tlmo before their
ring at the bell was answered. At last

to say that they might enter. When
they got intothe hail, sho showed them
into u room and forthwith shut tho door
upon them. They then discovered, with
some dismay, that this apartment was
in total darkness, with the blinds down
and the shutters up. After a prolonged
interval they were told they might 60
up stairs. Upon arriving at the topmost
story they perceived Turner standing
before several easels and taking his
colors from a circular table which he
swung around to get at the paints he
required. He was painting several pic
lures at once, passing on from one to
the other and applying to each in it's
turn the particular color he was using
till it was exhausted.
After showing them all that there was
to be seen Turner vouchsafed the ex-

He said that the bright light outside
would have spoiled their eyes for prop

to see them to advantage an interval Of
darkness was necessary. At this stage
of tho interview Broderip had to leave
for some engagement, and then an event
took place which Owen declares that
zone of his artist friends would ever be-
lieve. Turner offered him a glass of
wine. 1t wa while they were coming

FEAR AS A CAUSE OF DEATH.
The Imagination a Potent Factor In 40
quiring a Fatal Disease.

$50 DAoh y An nv
quiring a Fatal Disease.
"Of the whole number of persons
supposed to die of disease, " said a prom
inent physician tho other day, II should
say that ct least 80 per cent are really
carried away by fear. Were it not for
this element mortality would be far less
than it is"
In support Of his statement he cited
various cases where the element of fear
had entered largely in as a potent factor
to persuade people that their time had
come. Presentiments, prophecies. pre-
monitions and general all
played their part. Some years ago four
criminals, condemned in Russia to die,
were taken to a house and shown sew
eral beds, in which, they were told, a
number of cholera patients had died.
In fact, the beds were new, never hav-
ing been slept in. The criminals were
informed that they would be set at lib
erty if they would undergo the ordeal
of sleeping several nights In the beds.
From the prisoners point of view 1t
was a possible though desperate chance
Of escape. They one and all decided to
take the chances. At the end of the
time prescribed two were uninjured
and went free, but the others developed
all the symptoms and died Of Asiatio
cholera.
Two physicians determined to take
advantage of the impressionable mind
of a female patient and prove a theory
for the benefit of science. The lady had
complained of an itching ON her back.
She was told that a blister would be ap-
piled. Instead a common postage stamp
was applied, and, SO runs the chronicle,
performed all the offices of the plaster
which was not there.
A college professor was once the sub
ject of a practical joke at the hands of
the students. They met him one after
another, and each successfully inquired
after his health, saying that he looked
i'll. He took to his bed, q physician was
called, and for days the professor imag.
