Turner's Littla Afterthought.
An F.ncllsh critic's reference to Tur
ner's flue picture -The Wreck Buoy'
reminds a faithful newspaper reader
of a curious anecdote in connection
with it. When Turner first sent this :
picture to the Royal academy It was
hung among several brilliantly colored
pictures. On varulshlug day Turner
found the effect of his dull gray ren
dering of a stormy sea altogether
0tv,iio.i hv Its brlcht surroundings.
Without a moment's hesitation he
painted In the lighted buoy in the fore
ground, and its dub of crimson light
showed so brilliantly In its gloomy set
ting that Turner's picture became the
prominent one, aud Its rivals on each
side were cast into the shade. It Is
11, a it trim, that the most notice
able feature of the picture should have
been an afterthought.-Boston Tran
