MISCELLANY.
SIZE or ANcIENr AVID moDEny MIy


The Heroes of antiquity, esteemed gollike
in their attributes, were naturally represented
as being godlike in stature In every exhibit
ton of arms and armor thrown open to the
observer, from the Tower of London to that
collection exhibited IN Somerset House by the
Society of Antiquaries, and which has Just
been closed, abundant evidence is afforded
that the men of the earliest times were smaller
in limb and shorter in stature than the men
of the present day. The ancient British and
Roman arms exhibited in Somerset House
could have been effectively welded only by a
smaller race of men than that of our time
The handles of the swords and daggeis were
too small to afford firm grasp to the hand Of
a modern Englishman, and even few wo-
mems hands would have fitted il between the
guard and the extreme end of the hit. In
armor again, it is remarkable fact tlrat none
bnt the smallest and slmmest men amongst us
could squeeze ourselves into corsolets worn by
such heroes as ''futtered the Volscians'' at
Greasy and Poictiers. Darnley's cuirass at
Hollywood Palace cannot be got outside Of
man Of five feet eight and of proportionate
build. Wallace's sword, huge iron contl.i-
vance which few of us could swing, and which
it is certain the hero of Scotland never wi ,lded,
has been found to be no more genuine than
the poker still shown as Bailie Nicol' .Iaryie's
at tile Clachan of Aberfoyle, and has
been withdrawn from exhibition at Dunn
barton Castle and the armor of the Black
Prince is too small for an average guards
man. 1t seems, then, that England, in
stead of producing q race inferior to that
which fiourished in the early heroic times,
now breeds men of clearly grander and more
athletic frame than she has hitherto done.
In the light of this fact must revise early
historic impressions. Richard Cmur de Lion,
the Prince of Crusaders, and the fear of Sala-
din, we must'now be compelled to regard as,
after ALL only light weight; Edward the
First, that Longshanks who was the "Eam-
mer of the Scottish nation,' as being consd-
erably short of the standard of our own
Horse Guards, and the famous and splendid
Black Prince as n hero of infinitely more skill
and energy, but of very ordinary form, and
with constitution so delicate that after few
years campaigning in France, and a disas-
trous raid into Spain (where he suffered Sc
verely from the heat, he pinned and faded and
dropped into an early and premature grave.
So much for medieval giants.

A Michigan man has invented a unique,
poctical, and, to his mind, cminently practical
mode of travelling rapidly on horseback. His
idea Is to construct a cone-shaped balloon,
which is to be laid lengthwise upon the horses
back. The animal and rider are to be
weighed, and the balloon filled with just gas
enough TO lift all but n few pounds weight Of
horse and rider from the EARTH, in order that
the frisky Pegasus may have nothing to do
but go ahead. The possible speed Of such a
contryallce is as yet beyond conjecture.
