Real Estate as q War Time Invest
ment

In times of public stress when
many varieties of investmentar are
questioned real estate stands
near the front in the matter Of
certainty. The security is Wis
ible, its value easily estimated
and it is subject to fewer vicissi-
tudes than many kinds of pro.
perty. The land Will always be
here, it cannot be blown away
at the mouths Of guns and it will
always be needed. AS popula
ton grows, it's use and value
grow. This is written to call
attention to the value of real
estate investments, as security J,
in time like the present.
The war is less likely to have
a depressing effect on real estate
than on most forms of security.
-Editoral from Minneapolis

People who now invest in good
lands in Grant and Roberts

MEN OF STONE.
Queer Figures Dot the Crest Of the
Superstitious Mountains.

Among the natural wonders of the
Southwestern portion of this country
are the Superstitious mountains. which
loom up from the arid desert to the
east of the Salt river valley.
These mountains are so curious that
the Indians will have nothing to do
with them. In consequence they are
full of deer. bear and other big game.
The SuperStitious mountains rise out
of the level surface of the desert like
the pyramids of Egypt.
On the crest Of this unique range and
in full view OF the rarefed atmosphere
for an immense distance from the plain
are hundreds Of queer figures. repre-
senting men in all attitudes. When

MADE THE REPORTER BLUSH.
When the House of Lords Adjourned
at His Suggestion.

There is a good Fleet street story.
says a writer in the London Daily Cit
zen, of how a reporter once adjourned
the house of lords. He had worked in
the gallery of the house of lords for
about a quarter of a century. and 1t
may be that familiarity had dimmed
his sense OF reverence. One day there
had been a stOdgy little debate with q
dozen members in the house. and the
reporter. with his colleagues perched
I'm the gallery, was thoroughly sick or
the whole business. His feelings found
outlet In a muttered remark as some
noble lord on the cross benches rose to
continue the debate.
why don't you move the adjourn
ment?" said the reporter TO himself
he said it louder than be intended,
and the words reached the noble lord
who had just risen. He on his part
believed the words to be private hint
addressed to him from the lord chan
celIor. and, feeling that he could not
disregard the suggestion. he said. MY
lords. move the adjournment of the
debate"
Instantly the lord chancellor was on
his feet from the woolsack, and their
lOrdships house rose for the day.
Hardened as was the reporter. 1t is
stated that as he went out he was
blushing at his achievement.

AN OPTICAL ENIGMA.
%hy In IL the Human Eye Sees Things
Right Side Up7


Just why we are able to see things
right side up is a mystery which
science has not yet been able TO eX-
plain.
We know that the human eye in
wolves the same optical principles as a
camera. Owing to the fact that light
always travels III Il straight line and
never in curve. the rays which em-
anate from any object within our
range of vision have TO descend and
ascend in order to travel into the mar
row opening in the eye which CORE
spends to the cameras lens.
These rays finally reach point
where they intersect Continuing ON in
straight lines. their relative position be-
'omeS just the reverse OF what they
we're when they left the object seen.
Thus the image register ON the retina
of your eye is topSy turVy, just as ii 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.

One OF the Curious Sights of New

In old Trinity churchyard, where
Robert Fulton and Alexander Hamil-

seen through the pickets Of the bronze
fences every day enjoying their noon
day lunches amid the tombs of the

high skyscraping office buildings. The
elevated trains catter 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. 1t is here that the
girls from these big office buildings
come of a noontime to eat their lunch.

They did not bring thoughts of ghosts
to her mind-they only made her think
that it 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 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.

there, and nowadays, when the noon
hour is bright and sunny, the number
has increased to sometimes seventy
