Limits in Stature.

Ancient writers have mentioned
giants exceeding ten and even twelve
feet in hight, but these accounts have
doubtless been exaggerated, and it is o
matter of question whether any OF
these individuals have exceeded in
stature the giant Winckelmeier of the
present time, and who is eight and one
half feet high. Dwarfs of sixteen and
even twelve inches are among the
records of human existence, but these
diminutive creatures were either imma-
t,rc or Informed. A noted instance
of n small yet perfectly developed
dwarf was the celebrated Borulawsky,
of twenty-nine inches height, who died
in 1897. aned about 40.
