A Prehistoric Giant.

While blasting stone from the Mar
bingham quarry near here there was yes
terday discovered the prints ola gigantic
foot on a shelf of rock, which had been
covered with earth and vegetation, but
which was displaced by the explosion,
writes Fort Dodge (Kan.) correspond
ent. The foot is apparently that of a
human being, though provided with
nails of great length and curved slightly
at the end, as can be seen by the deeper
indentation at the ends of the marks.
The prints are seven in number, vary
ing considerably in distinctness, each
measuring fraction less than two feet in
length and broad in proportion. The
toes are shorter than is usual in the hui
man foot and spread much wider apart.
The prints all point in the same direc.
ton, and are from four to four and halt
feet apart, the most clearly defined sink
ing about two inches in.o the rock. There
is in addition to the footmarks indica-
tions of some heavy object having been
dragged over the rocks after the creature
whose tracks are there. This object was
probably club, to judge from the marks
it made.
The ledge of rock on which this valu-
able record of a prehistoric age is to be
seen was detached with the greatest care,
but an unfortunate fall broke the piece
right across the footprint most clearly
defined. The breakage viii be repaired
as skillfully as possible with cement aud
the rock forwarded to the Museum Of &C.
ology and Paleontology at Dubuque,
Iowa, Mr.. Mardingham, who owns the
quarry, presenting it to that institution.
