hostess takes all the girls into one
room where they sit upon benches
round the walls. and are completely

the meantime the young men have
been drawing lots. and when the girls
are all rolled up in their sheets. and
looking more like mummies than hu-

Experiment. in Inverted Vision.

Professor George Stratton. OF the
University OF California. has made a
novel experiment in inverted vision by
wearing for eight days a mask fitted
with lenses which invert the visual
image. thus projecting IL upon the re-
tina in an erect instead OF the nor
NAL inverted position. He soon
learned to refer all objects to their
correct positions. in other words to see
them right side up; but. on removing
the apparatus at the expiration OF eight
days. everything appeared to be upside
down at first He therefore concludes
that the seeing OF objects right side
up is due TO a mental rectifcation OF
the visual image actually projected up
on the retina.

inexperienced woman who tries this
process generally does so with lament
able results. The gloves are wrinkled
and bear with them. too, unmistakaole
evidences of their recent naphtha bath.
A woman, however. who AYERS that
gloves can be acceptably cleaned with
naphtha, says that abe does II by draw

mended IL neatly in case II needs It;
then with a clean sponge kept for the
purpose. and a small bowl OF naph.ha,

removed. Then with a clean towel
she wipes the glove over again before
taking 1t on and pinning II TO a towel.
When several are thus attached to the
towel. she puts It over a chair or in
some place where the air will reach the
gloves, and she does not undertake 10

they have been thus cleaned.

Porto Rico Warehouses Are Pull I
Provisions.

Porto Rico Warehouses Are Pull OF
Provisions.
st. Thomas, West Indies, April 80.
Porto Rico adyices received here to-
day say that four Spanish gunboats
are at San Juan de Porto Rico. They
are being painted black or possibly
dark gray.
Martial law has been proclaimed in
Porto Rico, and it is being enforced in
a tyrannical manner. Crowds Of peo-
pie are leaving for the interior, and the
capital is almost deserted by the civil
ian population.
The military are most actively en-
gagged in preparing for defense. Thirty
toipedoes have been planted in the
channel In addition, an old steam
ship has been sunk across the harbor
entrance, the buoys in the channel
have been altered and from Monday
last. after the news of the blockade of
Havlna reached there. accompanied by
a report that the Cuban capital had
been bombarded, all lights were order
Ell extinguished at night. The French
residents, when these advices left San
Juan, were seeking refuge in the
French cruiser Admiral Rigault de
Genuilly.
An American sugar estate, it is an
nounced. was plundered after the re-
ceipt OF the news of the declaration of
war between Spain and the United
States. The British consul at San
Juan, who has charge of American in
terests, has cabled to his government
requesting that British warship be
sent to that port.
Spanish steamers landed at Maiguez,
| 20 miles from San Juan, Tuesday, a
quantity of arms and ammunition, and
there was similar landing of supplies
at San Juan Tuesday. Besides this,
about $4,000 tons of provisions were
landed at San Juan Sunday last. The
warehouses OF Porto Rico are reported
to be full of provisions, and the Span
ish authorities say they can stand q
seige of two months.
All their coast lights have now been
ordered to be extinguished

HIS FIRST INFORMATION.
Surprising Ignorance Of a British skip
per Stopped by the Flsgship.

Surprising Ignorance of a British Skip
per stopped by the Flagship.
On Board the Flagship New York,
of Havana, April 28.-The first news
from Havana reached the squadron this
evening, when the British steamer
Lurline was stopped by the flagship.
The Lurline is commanded by Captain
Tucker. She halls from London, aud
was bound from Havana for Bermuda.
She has 200 cabin passengers on board,
besides cargo of horses and sugar.
She is the first boat known to have left
Havana since last Friday, when the
blockade was commenced.
She was seen coming out from FL
MORO about P. NJ. and was about
six miles from land before the New
York started on her trail Smoke
poured from the fiagship's smokcstack
as she rushed through the water to cut
off the stranger, who was going at
good pace.
Lieutenant Marble was sent on board
by Captain Chadwick. The Cubans on
the deck shouted 'Hurrahl' and waved
their hands at the New York. Cap.
tain Tucker gave satisfactory proofs OF
the Lurline's identity. He said the
people in Havana did not know that
the war was in progress. The English
consul-general had said nothing to
him, SO the captain alleged, about the
war or the blockade. When asked
what explanation was given in Havana
for the appearance Of the American
ships outside Ell Moro. Captain Tucker
said he had not bothered his head about
it, and had not heard any one talking
on the subject.
1t is the opinnion Of this correspond
ent that very little reliance can be
placed on Captain fuckers story.
The Ell Moro batteries were believed
| to be firing at something about 3 P. M,
but it was impossible to ascertain
definitely whether this was so or not.
| The news from Matanzas, Cardenas
and Mariel is meager, but it indicates
that the blockade has been firmly estab-
! lished at those ports.
