His Ancestors Portrait.

From the Chicago Record
The practice among those who have
come into sudden riches of buying ready
made portraits of ancestors is still in OK
istence. gentleman in London having
portrait of man claimed to be by Sir
Joshua Reynolds wrote to an art dealer in
Washington asking whether there was q
possibility Of a sale in this city. The lat
ter thought it was likely and asked the
owner to send it over. a few days after it
arrived he invited worthy gentleman who
is famous for his wit to inspect it, ex-
planned the artistic merits of The work and
its great value, and suggeste ed that he
might hang it in his house as the portrait
of one of his ancestors. After a few days
of reflection the offer was declined, and
the art deeler sought well-known multi
millionaire, who was Immediately captured
by the ancestor idea and paid $4,000 for
the portrait. Soon after the purchase was
made customer No. l was invited to dine
with customer No. 2, and recognized the
picture hanging on the wall opposite him
in the dining room. "Ah.' ne said to his
host, you have a remarkable work of art
there. 1t is evidently masterpiece. Who
is the artist?" Sir Joshua Reynolds" was
the reply. 1T is portrait of one of my

A BRAINLESS MAN.
Lived for Years After His Brain Had
Been Destroyed by u TumOr.


A Willlamsport man has surprised the sci
entists by living for years without brain.
John Bly,, aged twenty years, who died re-
Gently, had suffered for a long time with a
tumor, which grew into the very base Of the
brain and occasioned his death. The growth
had visible effect upon mis- brain. and The
case became a curiosity to the medical
profession. The tumor was imbedded too
deeply into the brain tissues to admit of an
operation. 1t was found that the tumor was
nearly as large as billiard ball. 1t was
SO located to demoralize the nerves of
the sight center. and, as consequence
young Bly, was blind for over three years
1t was developed at the autopsy that the
entire brain had been followed out by the
action of the tuluor. The cavity was at
least five inches in length and was filled
with pus. All that was left of the Train
was thin shell, composed of the tougher
tissues, which were less susceptible to the
process of decay. When an incision was
made in the shell the whole mass collapsed
The circumstance which made the case
almost unprecedented in the annals OF
medical science was the manner in which
the patient retained his nationality and
faculties under the circumstances. He had
the sense of touch, taste, hearing and
smell; had very tolerable control of his
locOmotor muscles, could talk and in fact
was comparatively disconnected in no 9TH
er way than by the loss of vision His re-
tenton of memory was remarkable He
was able to memoriEe poems no to within
two weeks of his death.

A BLOOD RED LAKE,
Switzerland Has a Curious Body of
Water With Unstable Habits.

Lake Morat, in Switzerland, has queer
habit of turning red about two or three
times every ten years says an exchange.
It is pretty lake, like most Of the sheets of
II alter in that picturesque country, and its
peculiar freak is attributed to disposition
20 celebrate the slaughter Of the Burgun-
dams, under Charles the Bold, on June 2l
1915. But the French say ii bushes for the
conduct Of the Swiss. who in that battle
gave the Burgundians, no quarter This
year IL was redder than ever and had a
sinister appearance when the setting sun
illumina-ed its waves.
This phenomenon of course, has its legend
The old fishermen of the lake, who catch
enormous fish, called silures, that weigh
between twenty-five and forty Kilograms
say, when they see the waters of the lake
re5dening, that IT is the blood OF the Bur
gIndians. At q matter of fact, some of the
bodies of the BurgUndians killed in the ba L
tie were thrown into the lake, while others
were tossed into a grave filled with quick
lime. This historical recollection angered
the Burgundian soldiers of the victorious
armies OF the republic in lI9S so much that
they destroyed the monument raised in
honor OF their compatriots who fell his
torically in that battle, and Henri Martin
very justly reproached them for that piece
Of vandalism.
1t would hardly do to attribute the red
deninS OF the waters of the lake to the blood
OF the soldiers of Charles the Bold The
co!oring Is due simply to the presence in
1drge quantities of little aquatic plants
The curious thing about it is that Lake
Morat is the only lake In which this curious
growth is developed, and this popularity is
beginning to interest scient tic men.
