About a Famous Picture.

The late o. H. P. Belmont said a
New York picture dealer, was pro-
found admirer of the painter Turner.
He liked especially Turner's Carthage
and one day he told me an odd story
about it,
Turner" he said. kept Carthage
for years. If you wanted to buy it, he'd
ask you $500. on your acceptance. he'd
say on second thought he must ask you
80; and if you again accepted. the
price would go up TO sl,000. So on in
definitely.
Turner for years declared that he
would be buried with Carthage
wrapped about his corpse. One day he
said TO Chantrey, his executor:
.'Chantrey. if in my will order you
to bury me like that with Carthage
for my shroud, you will obey, won't

The Weather and colors.

FIOiIl tHe New 1OTk Tribune.
In the course of a recent lecture de-
ltvered before the Royal United Service
institution in London retired English
army officer dealt with some interesting
facts pertaining to the question of
health In tropical climes The officer In
question, Colonel Mande. late of the
Royal Engineers, in the course of his
remarks pointed out the relation be
tween active rays and their effect upon
the great nerve centers running down
the spinal column. If those rays are
excessive the disturbance of the nerve
center rests upon the stomach, pro-
voking digestive disorders as we'll as
tending to the dangerous nalady of
sunstroke. Consequently ii is obvious
that II Il non-actinic material We're
worn next TO the skin the effect of the
actinic rays would be nullified. Colonel
Mande personally tried the experiment
Some % years ago, and the relief thus
secured was remarkable. since he was
able TO prosecute his duties In the hot
test sun without Inconvenience or ex-
perencing any i'll effects. The nom
actinic mat erial alluded to was simply
q red fabric, with which he had lined
his fish helmet and service uniform
The same phenomena has been OBJ
served by other soldiers while on ac-
tive duty In torrid chimes, who, by lin
Ing their wearing apparel and caps or
helmets with red, have secured instant
relief from the Affections incidental to
working beneath blazing sun. Colonel
Mande's experience. though it may not
always have been based on his scien-
tific knowledge OF the subject, is mere
IL that of every officer and enlisted
man OF the United tSates army who has
marched or footed upon the great
shadceSs plains of the West. Here the
summer temperature is sufficient to
raise iron to an unbearable heat. yet
private soldiers and common laborers
who wear red flannel next to the skin
suffer no bodily pains. though they pur-
sue their tasks for hours on end In tho
