The arches forming the vestibule will be 35 feet high and 15 feet wide. The entrance to the stairs and the elevators will be found on the 40th st. side.

The free zone of Mexico is a strip of territory extending along the Northern Border from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean, and extends about 12 miles into the interior. It was established many years ago by the Central Government as a concession to the states bordering on the Rio Grande as a protection against smuggling from the United States. All merchandise imported into the Zone for consumption in it is admitted on a basis of 10% of the regular tariff; but when shipped into the interior an additional 90% duty is collected, which, with the 10% already paid, makes up the regular tariff charges of Mexico. At the beginning of the seventeenth century Spain had 120,000 churches. 200,000 priests, 54 bishops, 70.000 monks and 30,000 nuns. The clergy of Castile alone had an annual income that would equal $25,000,000 to-day. SOCIETIES AND ASSOCIATIONS. Art Clubs. BROOKLYN.
