BIG JUMPS BY HORSES. '
Some Memorable Leaps That Have Been

Some Memorable Leaps That Have Been
o. Made in English steeplechases.
One of the most remarkable jumps
by horse on record is that made by
Chandler, a steeplechaser, while run
ming in the bennington Cup at War
wick, England, in 1s47. The distance
covered in one leap has been variously
measured. For number of years it
was thought to have been thirty-nine
feet, but the editor of the sporting
paper in which the record was first
published afterward explained that
this was printers error, and that the
distance was in reality thirty-seven
feet. This in itself is big enough: so
big, in fact, that there are many horse
men in England to-day who will swear
that it is exaggerated. The portion Of
the race in which the jump occurred is
reported as follows in description of
the race in Bells Life of the issue of
March IS, 1s4T:
This left the lead with King of the
Valley, but he refused at the top of the
hill, and soon after Regalia caught up
with him. They raced together TO the
brook. with Chandler following them.
Chambers rider pulled back as they
approached it, expecting that Regalia
would bring grief 20 somebody. and
when they arrived at it sent the spurs
into his horse. and followed them with
all steam Oh. Both went into the
brook, and while they Were there
Chandler who was not able to stop.
whatever inclination he may have had
to do so, made an extraordinary jump
and cleared the brook, horses and
riders together"
The account goes on to say that
Chandler Won the race with ease. The
length OF the leap was immediately
measured. but there was some doubt as
to where the animal had landed. as the
ground was soft and number OF hoof-
prints had been made
Capt Broadley. the rider. who seems
to have been modest person, said that
the distance was thirty-seFen feet.

the distance was thirty-uine feet The

HOW MALAYS MAKE FIRE.

Instead of Matches They Garry With Them
Fire-Syringe.
By the kindness of my friend, Henry
Louis. the well-known mining en-
gineer. who has recently returned TO
England from Singapore. / have re-
ceived a fre-syringe which he obtained
toward the end Of 1890 from a part of
the Malay Peninsula never previously
visited by a white man.
Mr.. Louis obtained the specimen in
question from a Malay who stopped
with party of others at his camp on a
small stream known as Aver Katiah
one of the tributaries of the River
Teluban. on the southeast coast of the
Malay Peninsula, and about one hum
dred miles from the mouth of the
river. The district is sparsely inha bited
by Malays. and the party from whom
the syringe was obtained had come
from some of the neighborin9 KAN
pongs. They sguatted down and began
smoking, one of the men lighting his
cigarette in the most matter-of-fact
way BIZ means of his fre-svringe
There IS no reason TO suppose that he
was singular or had imported his ap-
paratus from distance. II the rest OF
the party elected sparks By means OF
quartz and iron it was, they admitted,
simply because they preferred this
method as being less troublesome and
more trustworthy than that of COM
pressing air.
The Malay syringe consists Of tube
of hard wood two and one-half inches
long, closed at one end, toward which
the tube slightly tapers- +. is sur
rounded with neatiyplaited strips of
thin rattan which. while thev o-na-
ment the object. serve also 20 strength

the fiber. The piston IS made of SINH

In order 20 use the instrument a

and pressed down to keep it well in
place; the piston is then inserted in the
cylinder, smitten sharply with the
palm of the hand and very rapidly
withdrawn, when the finder becomes
sufficiently heated 20 slightly smoIder,
and by then gently blowing it a bright
glow may be obtained. According to
Mr.. Louis, the native never seemed TO
fail in the use of the syringe, but the
knack is not easy TO acquire, and those
who have employed a similar apparatus
for demonstration at physical lectures
know that it is far from easy. even
with a well-made instrument to insure
success.
Contrary TO what might have been
expected, it was rather Young man
who preferred this strange mode Of
producing fire TO the more convenient
flint and steel method. There can be
no doubt but the use of the FIRE syringe,
never widely spread. is rapidly dying
out, and hence every fact bearing on
the geogra phical distribution of so
curious custom deserves to be put on

JOAN OF ARCS STATUE.

Attractions of Paris.


Immense Equestrian Figure Added to the
Attractions of Paris.
Since tho national fete the outside
attractions of Paris have been in
creased by the addition of a colossal
equestrian statue of Joan of Arc, which
has been temporarily erected in front
of the Palais de lIndustrie on the
Champs Elysees. This immense work
is by M. Roulleau, and is intended for
the permanent establishment of the
town of Chinon.S In the plaster it was
one of the most conspicuous works of
sculpture in last years Salon. The
Maid of Orleans, waving a sword in
her right hand and banner bearing
the feur de lis i'll her left, is represent
ed as leaping over the PROSTATE bodies
of several English warriors, very
bold effect being produced by the po-
sition of the horse, which is poised on
its forelegs, with its headquarters well
up in the air, strong support being
artfully concealed under the animals
girth.
Needless to say that this snowy work

broken spell of fine weather, which

tai. The encomiums passed upon tho
patriotic group by these easily-pleased
critics, are not, however, shared by .
cavalry general, who contributes to a
morning paper a highly amusing criti-
cism of the horse and rider from q
purely technical point of view. The
gross inaccuracy of representing Joan
charging the enemy with the vizor of
her helmet up, the writer excuses on
the ground that, Of course, the face of
the heroine could not well in statue
remain concealed. He, however, severe
ly condemns the chain-mail ck-piece,
which looks. he declares, as though
Joan of Arc had enveloped her throat
in shawl on account of bad cold. A
mantle flying from tae shoulder of the
tary critic, who asks what earthly use
such garment could be to person
whether male or temale--completely in
closed in heavy armor. The position
of the Maid of Orleans in the saddle is
next dealt with by the general. who
points out that, with the rigidity Of
her body as represented in the statue,
she could not possibly escape being
thrown for more than few minutes.
Moreover, she has allowed the reins to
slip on the horses back SO that there is
nothing to prevent its falling over the
first obstacle it encounters. Then the
speed as indicated by the position of
horse and rider is out of all proportion
to the weight of armor and to the
heavy cart-horse build of the animal;
the harness is incorrect, and the bit is
in an impossible position in the horses
mouth. The general concludes by
charitably observing that Joan of Arc,
the horse and the trappings are all
sbut that otherwise the eques-
trian group is perfect.
