An English critic's refereuce to Tur ner's line picture "The Wreck Buoy" reminds a faithful newspaper reader of u curious anecdote in connection with it. When Turner ilrst sent this picture to the Royal academy It was hung among several brilliantly colored pictures. On varnishing day Turner found the effect of bis dull gray ren dering of it stormy sea altogether spoiled by Its bright surroundings. Without a moment's hesitation he painted in the lighted buoy in the fore ground, and Us dab of crimson light showed so brilliantly in Its gloomy set ting that Turner's picture became the prominent one, and its rivals on each side were cast into the shade. It is curious. If true, that the most notice able feature of the picture should have been an afterthought. Boston Tran script. The Shrewd Banker.
