Pittsburgh, Dec. 15.-Since the bel

ing war horses in this country, 11,434
horses have passed through Pittsburgh

They occupied 519 cars and Travelled on

On such waits the animals were
branded with the mark of the country
to which they were consigned. The
first consignments were received here

the stock yards several hundred horses,
which will he sent east this week. The
horses are the finest that the French
and English agents were able to buy.
Apparently there was no effort at con-

AN OPTICAL ENIGMA
Why Is It the Human Eye Sees Things
Right Side Up?


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 eve in
wolves the same optical principles as a
camera. Owing to the fact that light
always travels in a straight line and
never in 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 mar
row opening in the eye which corre
spends to the camera s lens.
These rays finally reach a point
where they intersect. Continuing on in
straight lines, the 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 it 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 a rare
disorder, which results in everything
always appearing topsy turvy.
During. the infnitesimally 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.

A Bloomfield woman looked across
