Capt Paul Boynton has brought to tho
Concy Island shoot the chutes" two Arabian
horses. which dive from platform at the end
of runway thirty-seven feet high in
to tank OF water twenty feet deep.
The horses mako the dive at their own
impulse. no tripping device being employed
They require no coaxng to ascend
the runway and when thoy reached the top
they brace themselves as II to mako sure Of
their foothold before making the leap. They
jump upward about three fset into the air. and
outward far enough to clear the platform. and
then In the descent straighten out their fore
legs and stretch their noses forward. They
strike the water In about the position Of a per-
son diving. On coming to tho surface they
swim around for a timo and then make for
the landing point. The horses make
the dive singly. Their owner says that II
either horse makes a false step and strikes the

terday. telling about movement by the people
Of the State OF Amazonas to establish sepa-
rate republic. did not cause surprse among
the OK porters here who do business with Bra
gill In fact such a movement has long been
contem plated. The reason for it is not dis
satisfaction with the Governm mt at Rio do

OF whether the rest OF tho country shall be sup
ported with revenues derived from Amazonas
The finances OF Brazil have been in a very bad
way for two years and Brazilian exchange has
been low whereas the prosperity OF Amazonas
has been uninterrupted. The rubber industry
in that State. which is tho largest in tho Be-
public and about the size Of Texas. Is in a
thriving condition. and furnishes tho Govern

| Society. said yesterday:
I'VE have decided to put two more medal
| lions on the arch. They will be likonesses Of
Commodore John Barry and Admiral Davis.

posal. in building an approach to the
arch at Madison Square. This approach
will extend from Thirty-fourth street to
Twenty-nfth street on Fifth avenue and will
consist OF a series OF victories. which will

signs will be duplicates OF the victory made by
J. q. A. Ward for the top OF the arch
Speaking OF the work ON the arch Mr.. Ruck-
stuhl said:
Whatever DEFICIENCIES may appear In the
arch and the colorado will be due to two
things over which we had no control-lack OF
money and lack OF time We haven't enough
money. for example. to flute the columns. and
