Shorb 300 A Market St. 11.434 HORSES SHIPPED VIA PITTSBURGH FOR WAR Pittsburgh, Dec. 15.—Since the bel ligerent nations of Europe began buy ing war horses in this country, 11,434 horses have passed through Pittsburgh on their way to Atlantic coast ports. They occupied 519 cars and traveled on fast freight schedules. That the agents were not in a hurry, however, was proved by the fact that, while the law piovided a rest of five hours in Pitts ■burgh, horses were often kept here sev eral days. On such waits tihe animals were branded with the mark of the country to which they were consigned. The first consignments were received here Octoiber 14, and there are at present in the stoCK yards several hundred horses, which will ibe sent east this week. The horses nre tihe finest that tlie French and English agents were alble to troy. Apparently there was no effort at con cealment concerning their destination, as they were in some instances con signed to men with military titles. 350,000 RECEIVE CHARITY One Out of Every Ten Persons in Chi cago Are Aided By Associated Press.

AN OPTICAL ENIGMA Why Is It the Human Eye Sees Things Right Side Up? Just why we aire aiblc to see tliintis Tight side lip is a mystery w'hi.h science has not; yet been able to ex plain. We know that the human eve in volves the Mime optical principles as a camera. Owing to the fact that light always travels in a straight line and neveT in a curve, tlie rays which em anate from any object within our rarnge of vision have to descend and •ascend in order to travel into the nar row opening in flic eve which corre siponds to the camera's lens. These rays finally reach a point where they intersect. Continuing on in straight lines, the rotative position be comes just the reverse of what they were when they loft the object seen Thus the image register on the retina of your eye is topsyturvy, just as it is on the photographic plate in a camera. If you are looking at a house, for in stance tihe image your eye pets will show the chimneys down below, the foundation walls up above, ami so on. But the impression voivr brain gets reveals the house right siile up unless you happen to be afflicted with a rare disorder, which results in everything always appearing topsyturvy. During the hifittitesimfailly short pe riod required to flnwh tlho imaige seen from the eye's retina to the brain all the light ravs which created the image are reassembled and put b®ek in their proper places, so that, the brain sees the object as it really is and not in the topsyturvy form it was registered on j the retina. Just, how this imrt.ic.le is performed is w ; hat science would like to find out.—New York American. Taken at Her Word A Bloomftold woman looked across her lawn to where passerSby were breaking off the blossoming twigs of her favorite rpiince tree. " We might as well cut the tree down as let it stand for people to destroy,'' said she. Half an hour later the tree lay on the ground beside a little hatchet, -while around behind the house the small boy of the family was getting a switching with one of the branches. This teaches us that we should be sure of our audience 'before we employ 'hyperbole in our speech.—Newark news. AMUSEMENTS At the Orpheum Pretty Bessie Wynn, with her win ning ways and winning self, came to t'he Orpheum yesterday and simply took the | house by storm.
