Giants.

M. lie Cat, in memoir read before the Acad-
emyof Sciences at Kouen, gives the following
account Of giants that are said to have existed
in different ages; " Profane historians have
given seven feet Of height to Hercules their first
hero, and in our day we have seen men eight
feet high The giant who was shown in
Rouen, in 1884, measured eight feet some
inches. The Emperor Maximus was of that
size. Shenkins and Platerus, physicians Of the
last century, saw several of that stature, and
Gorepius saw girl who was ten feet high.
The body of Orestes. according to the Greeks,
was eleven feet and half, the giant Galbara,
brought from Arabia to Rome, under Claudus
Cesar, was near ten feet high /; and the bones
OF Secondilla and Pusio, keepers of the gardens
OF Salluat, were but sixinches Funnam,
Scotchman, who lived in the time of Eugene
H., King Of Scotland, measured eleven feet and
half; and Jacob lie Marie, in his voyage to
the Straits of Magellan, reports that on the 18th
OF December, 1915, they found at Port Desire
several graves covered with stones, and having
the curiosity to removethe stones, theydiscoveied

Chevalier Scory, in his voyage to the Peak of
Tenerifie, saysthey found inone of the sepulchral
caverns IN that mountain the head ola gaunche,
which had eighty teeth, and that the body was
not less than fifteen feet long. Thegiant Ferra-
gus, slain by Orlando, nephew of Charemagne,
was eighteen feet high. Roland, celebrated
anatomist, who wrote in 1914, says some years
before there was TO be seen in the suburbs of
st. German the tomb of the great giant Isoret,
who was twenty feet high. In Rouen, in 400,
in digging in the bitches near the Dominicans.
they found a stone tomb containing a skeleton,
whose skull held bushel of corn, and whose
shin bone reached up to the girdle OF the tallest
man there, being about four feet long, and
consequently the body must have been seven
teen or eighteen feet high. Upon the tomb
was plate of copper, whereon was engraved
In this tomb lies the noble and pussant lord
the Chevalier Ricon de Vallemont and his
bones. Platerus, very famous physician,
declares that he saw at Lucerne the body of
man which must have been at least nineteen
feet high Valance, of Dauphiny, boasts of
possessing the bones OF the giant Bucart,
tyrant of the Vivaras, who was slain with an
arrow by the Count de Cabllon, his vassal.
The Dominicans had part Of the shin bone,
with the articulation Of his knee, and his
figure painted in fresco, with an inscription
showing that this giant was twenty-five and
half feet high, and his bones were found in
1905, near the banks of the Morderi, little
river near the foot Of the mountain of Crusal,
upon which tradition says) the giant dwelt.'

INSTANTANEOUS CURE OF ScALDs AND

tor has such an implicit faith In his in
vention. or the nerve to demonstrate
the fact. as DR.. Waters, Of Salem, re-
Gently showed before the Massachu-
setts Dental Society. He stated that
bi carbonate of soda, such a. 10 used
for c"ok;ng purposes. or any other al
kali in neutral form would afford ms
tantaneous cessation Of pain from the
severest burns and scalds, and would
cure such injuries in a few hours. De
liberately dipping a sponge into boiling
water, the Doctor squeezed it lover his
wrist, producing a severe scall around
his arm and some two inches in width.
Then, despite the suffering occasiened
he applied the scalding water to his
wrist for half a minute. Eicarbonate
of soda was at once busted owe the
surface. a Wet cloth applied, and the
pain, the expe:imenter stated, was al
most instantly deadened. Although
the flesh on the wrist Was literally cook
ed down to the sweatglanls, and the
wound was of a nature t. be open and
painful for a considerable time. on the
day following the single application OF
the SODA, the less injured portion was
practically healed, only a slight discol
Grafton of the flesh being perceptible.
The severer wound, in a few days. with
TO othJr treatment than Il wet cloth
kept over it. showed every sign of ra-
pid healing.
