RHINESTONE LUNCHEONS.

One of the Curious Sights of New
 York's Financial District.
 In old Trinity churchyard, where Robert Fulton and Alexander Hamil- ton lie buried. dozens of girls can De seen through the pickets of the bronze fences every day enjoying their noon- day lunches amid the tombs of the old time New Workers. All about are high skyscraping office buildings. The elevated trains chatter and bang over head. and on Broadway the trolley's gongs add tumult to the roar of the city. Within the old churchyard all is peace and quiet. It is here that the girls from these big office buildings come of a noontime to eat their lunch. liar from the madding crowd" yet within a hands reach of the hustle Of Broadway.
 It was only few years ago that some girl, a typewriter in nearby office building, chanced to let her eyes fall over the gravestones of old Trinity. They did not bring thoughts of ghosts to her mind-they only made her think that 1t would be lovely if she could eat her lunch among such peaceful scenes. The next day she and girl friend brought their lunches. They entered the churchyard and. seeking a secluded spot behind the old church, sat down on an old tomb and began to eat their sandwiches Nobody objected. The next day they came again. Other girls. emerging from stuffy restaurants. saw them and resolved to initiate them. The next day there were half dozen there. and nowadays. when the noon hour is bright and sunny, the number has increased to sometimes seventy ive.-New York Cor. Pittsburgh Dis patch.

AN OPTICAL ENIGMA. -

Why Is It tho Human Eye Sees Things
 Right Side Up?
 Just why we are able to see things right side up Is mystery which science has not yet been able to ex- plain.
 We know that the human eye fn- wolves the same optical principles as a camera. Owing to the fact that light always travels in straight line and never in a curve. the rays which en- anate from any object within our range of vision have to descend and ascend in order to travel into the nar- row opening fin the eye which core spends to the cameras lens.
 These rays finally reach a point where they intersect. Continuing on in straight lines. their relative position be- comes just the reverse of what they were when they left the object seen.
 Thus the image register on the retina of your eye is topsy turvy, just as 1t is on the photographic plate in camera. If you are looking at house. for in. stance. the image your eye gets will show the chimneys down below, the foundation walls up above, and so on. But the impression your brain gets reveals the house right side up unless you happen to be afflicted with rare disorder. which results in everything always appearing topsy turvy. During the infinitesimally short pc riod required to flash the image seen from the eyes retina to the brain all the light rays which created the image are reassembled and put back in their proper places, so that the brain sees the object as it really is and not in the topsy turvy form it was registered on the retina. Just how this miracle is performed is what science would like to find out-New York American.

Equality of Sex,

There is little girl in Springfield Mass. who, like many of her sex, re- sents the imputation that the feminine mind is not so strong as the masculine.
 One day her mother remarked on the apparent lack of intelligence in a hen.
 You can't teach hen anything" she said. "They have done more harm to the garden than d drove of cattle would. You can teach cat. dog or a pig something. but hen-never!"
 "H'm!" exclaimed the child indig nantly. "l think they know just is much as the roosters!'- Youths Com paniOn.

ARMS LANDED BY
GERMAN SHIP ON
WAY TO HUERTA
Cargoes of Ypiranga and Ba-
varia Reach Cordoba-Fun-
ston Waits instruction.

VERA CRUZ, May 2s.-The Ham
brrg-American liner Bavaria, which,
with the Ypiranga, a German gov
barbed wire and millions Of rounds
of ammunition for General Huerta
at Puerto Mexico, today was held
here by the American portmaster.
Meanwhile Frederick Funston
waited instructions from Washing
ton
Immediately on her return to this
port without the Ypiranga, the Ba-
varia was seized by the Am ericans,
who demanded her manifest from the
German captain. He failed to pro-
duce the document, at first explain
ing that it was lost, but later declar-
ing the Mexicans at Puerto Mexico
took it from him.
Arms Taken to Cordoba.
The Huerta arms and ammunition
were said here to have been taken
by the Federals to Cordoba
The cargoes of the Ypiranga and
the Bavaria were said to be the
largest shipments of arms and am
munitions ever sent into a Latin
American country.
The Bavaria on Saturday landed
one million rounds of ammunition,
many rifles and 32l, 600 rolls or thirty
miles of barbed wire, according to
General Funston's adviees.
The Ypiranga landed her munitions
yesterday, it was said. This included
Is, ,0O0, 900 rounds of ammunition, rifles
and $50 rapid-fire guns. Mexican Fed
erals took charge of all the muni-
tions and removed them to Cordoba.
The Bavaria came directly from
Hamburg and discharged her cargo
before touching at this port The
Ypiranga apparently landed her war
materials while acting as refuge
ship under the charter of the German
government.
Cargo That Caused q. :. Action.
The arms and ammunition turned
over to Huerta by the Ypiranga were
the same that precipitated the Amerl-
can seizure of Vera Cruz on April II
The arms were those stolen from
| Huerta and recovered in Odessa
through the good offices Of the Gar
The Ypiranga was about to discharge
them at Vera Cruz. Rear Admiral
Fletcher could prevent the landing OF
the cargo only through the customs
house, so he landed his marines ano
bluejackets and seized the customs
house. Since that time the Yplrangs
retained the munition,
1t was unofficially reported here
without confirmation that the Ger
man ships landed the Huerta ammu'
milton with the consent Of the ad'
l ministration because the State de-
partment decided that the conditions
of mediation did not permit OF inter
ference.
