BUYING A TURNER.
How One of the Painters Faverites
Came to America.

Came to America.
In Henry Stevens 'Recollections Of
Mr.. Lenox" is given his version of the
purchase of Turner by this gentle
man about 1S41," without any title or
description of the picture, but which is
apparently the ''Staffa, Fingars Cave"
stated in the catalogue TO have been
bought from the artist for Mr.. Lenox
by Mr.. Leslie in August, 1915"
G. K. Leslie had been instrumental
in securing for the New York collector
a number of paintings, and on this &C.
casion received from him sight draft
on Earrings for $500, requesting him
to be so good as to purchase of his
friend. Mr.. Turner, the best picture by
him he could get for the money" Tur.
ner's grumpy reply" was to the effect
that he had no pictures TO sell TO Amer.
cans, that his works were not adapted
TO their commercial and money grub
bling tastes and that Leslie had better
go elsewhere.
On sight Of the draft. however. he
became somewhat Modified, finally
turned around u small picture stand
ing on the floor against the wall and
said: There. let Mr.. Lenox have that
1t is one of my favOrites. He is gen.
tleman, and l retract. Will that suit
you. Mr.. LesiieT"
MIR. LenoX was at first sight not
nuch pleased with his purchase, and
so notified Leslie. but he soon wrote
Leslie to burn his first letter: 81 have
now looked into my Turner. and it is
all that l could desire. "-Scribner':

KANAA BURIAL GROUNDS.
soIivia's Fearsome Valley of the Shad-
ow of Death.

BoliVia's Fearsome Valley OF the Shad-
ow of Death.
There is a valley in Bolivia. South
America, which might well be called
the Valley of the Shadow of Death. 1t
has been inhabited for an indefinite
period Of years by the Kanaa Indians,
who are kindred TO the various South
American tribes and number now only
a few hundred souls.
That they were once a very powerful
tribe is indicated by the condition of
the land which they as tribe still in
habit. One cannot travel any distance
through their land without coming
upon the old and forsaken burial
grounds Of the Kanaa dead. These
places cannot be called graveyards, for
the bodies are not buried. but rather
placed upon elevated platforms, wrap
ped in the garments of death and
bound to the crossbeams that they
may not be displaced.
In one of these burial grounds there
will be probably fifty high skeleton
platforms, and on each will lie from
three to FIVE Of the Kanaa dead. The
air in that part OF Bolivia is very pure
and preservative. for it is one Of the
highest platcaus Of the continent, al
though Kanaa valley Is just a little
below the plateau's height A traveller
passing through that land at night and
by moonlight would he awe stricken at
the gloomy vision those grayeyards
present.
