The giant exhibited at Rouen in
1880 measured nearly eighteen feet
Gorapius saw q girl that was ten
feet high. 'M - i.'
The giant Galabra. brought from
Arabia to Rome. under Claudius Goa
sar, was ten feet high q e.a. {,
Fannun, who lived 10 the time ol
Eugene H., measured eleven aud Q
half feet. t.'f R ,N.-, t ..tlt...'
The Chevalier Scrog.in his voyage
to the Peak Teneriffe, found in one
OF the caverns OF that mountain the
head of the Gunich, who hail sixty
teeth, aud was not less than fifteen
feet high.
The giant Faragus, slain by Orlan
do nephew Of Charlemagno, was
twenty, eight feet high.
In 1914, near St Gernad, wal
found the tomb OF the giant lsoleut
who was not less than thirty feet
high.
In 1890. near Roucn. was found a
skeleton whose skull held bushel o
corn and who was nineteen feel
high.
The giant Bacart was twenty-five
feet high his thigh bones were
found in 1903 near the river Modri.
In 1913 near the astle Q ID
Daupbine, o tomb was found thirty
feet long, sixteen wide and eight
high, on which was cut in gray stone
these words, "Kentolochus Rex
The skeleton was found entire, TWEEN
ty-fve feet and a fourth long. ten
feet across the shoulders aud five
feet from the breast bone to the
back.
Near Palermo, in Sicily, in 1919

forty -four feet high.
Near Magrino, in Sicily in 1916
was found the skeleton of a giant
thirty feet high the head was the
size Of q hogshead and each Of his
teeth weighed five ounces.
We have no doubt that there were
giants in those days. and the past
perhaps, was more prolific in produ-
cling them than tho present. But
the history of giants during the oldeu
times was not more remarkable than
that OF dwarfs, some Of whom were
even smaller Chan the Thumbs and
Nuts of our own time.
