Set $wgAllowExternalImages = true; in LocalSettings.php (if it isn't
already set that way) and type the URL of the image into a wiki page.
Tada!

Some people prefer this setting off, and only allow images uploaded to
the server and referenced with the [[Image:Foo]] syntax, so that image
use can be monitored to minimise copyright violations, bandwidth
theft, and vandalism issues.
