GIANTS IN THOSE DAYS.
Some Enormous Human Creatures
Who Once Walked the Earth

Some Enormous Human Creatures
Who Once Walked the Earth.
In one OF his recent discourses, a
lecturer alludes to the discovery OF an
enormous lizard. eighty feet In length.
The lecturer inters as no living
specimen of that magnitude has been
found) that the species which it re-
pres ents has become degenerated.
The verify OF his position he endea-
vors to enforce by an allusion to the
we'll known eXistance of human giants
in olden times. The following is the
list upon which this singular hypo-
thesis is based:
A giant exhibited in Rouen in 1880,
Prof. Williams says, measured near
ly eighteen feet in height.
Coraptus once saw girl of II years
who was ten feet high.
The giant, Galabra, brought from
Arabia to Rome, during the reign Of
Claudius Caesar, was ten feet high.
Fannum, who lived in the time Of
Eugene H., measured II feet 6 inches
in height.
Chevslier Scrog, while exploring q
cavern in the Peak of Teneriffe, found
d skull which must have belonged to
a man at least fifteen feet high. 1t
contained sixty perfect teeth OF mons
trous size.
The giant Ferregus, slain by Orian-
do, the nephew of Charlemagne, was
twenty eight feet high, and so heavy
that no horse could be found that
was strong enough to bear him.
In 1914, the tomb of q giant was
oman al at ST Garmain w no must have
been at least thirty feet high during
life.
AS late as 1850 a human skeleton
nineteen feet long, was discovered at
,, Rouen, France. The skull which was
perfect, with the exception of the
under jaw, held over bushel of
wheat.
In 1924, near the castle of Dauphine
monstrous tomb was discovered. 1t
was thirty feet long, Is feet wide,
and s high. The inscription kim
tOlochus R5A " !as cut in the hard,
gray stone. The skeleton was found
entire, l. l-2 ieet long, 10 feet arross
the shoulders, and five feet from the
breastbone to the back.
The vicinity of Palmero, Italy, has
yielded three remarkable human
skeletons; one in 14l0 one in 1916,
aud the last in 1850. The first W; 8
q, the second 80 and the third "a
feet in height.
In 1915, a skeleton was dug up near
Mszrino. Sicily, the skull of which
was as large as common wine cask.
Each of the teeth weighed seven
ounces.

SECRETARY FOSTER IN his address
before the annual dinner before the
New York Chamber of Commerce de.
FLARES that the aim OF the govern
mont is to place gold and silver on a
parity. This is bimetalism plain
and practical, and the country will
stand by all intelligent efforts to Sc.
cure this result. The firm adherence
to this policy on the part of the
United States as indicated in Sec
rotary Fosters speech will have a
marked effect In securing a general
acceptance of this idea in the finan
cial centers OF Europe. Every year
this country figures more prominently
as a monetary factor in the financial
exchanges of the nations and her pol,
ICY will not be lightly considered in the
final arrangement of the relative i'm.
portance of gold and silver. To pre-
serve the psrity.of gold and silver is
sound monetary conclusion. 1t is a
rue expression of a public policy thai
he republicans can confidently appea
o the country to support.

THE idea advanced in agricultural
papers by interested parties, that the
area is very limited in which veget-
ables and fruits can be grown in
Texas and that it is included in the
region between Houston, Galveston
and Velasco, will do to tell the ma
rines. or to publish abroad where
people do not know the facts. No
better ground for vegetables and
small fruits can be found than in the
region about the Nueces, Corpus
Christi, Arkansas and Copano bays.
For two years past this fact has been
abundantly demonstrated and large
shipments made of early vegetables,
melons and grapes. The whole coast
region is largely included in the veg
etable and fruit area of this state,
and along the west shore of the gulf
well down toward Brownsville these
conditions exist. there is no doubt
that the region about Velasco and be-
tween that port and Houston is adj
mirably adapted to vegetable and
small fruit culture, melons and
grapes, but it is no more 20 than the
coast region around Rockport, and
Corpus Christi.

A FINE IMPROVEMENT.
d. o. Mills & Co. Have Set a Good

ID. o. Mills & Co. Have Set a Good
Example.
Among the many improvements in our
street architecture during the past twelve
months, one has been just completed, the
appearance of which should encourage
| others to go and do likewise The old
! banking firm of D. o. Mills d Co. have dis
played an appreciation OF the wants of the
times, and taste that is quite IN keep
! ing with the demands of our art-loyinc
community in giving their bank build
! ing the new and elegant dress it wears
| to-day.
This building, with frontage of 40
! feet, the first story Of smooth, hammered
granite, and pressed brick walls for the
second story, has been so remOdeled as to
| present an entire different aspect without
| changing any of its lines below the old
cornice. This latter has been removed
and replaced with a very simple but rich
! galvanized iron cOrnice, more in keeping
with the structure below.
| There has been introduced the German
renaissant ornament in the frioze beneath
dental cornice, quite plain, Dut effective,
! its horizontal lines terminating against
! handsome stop bracket at each end.
! The crown molding is surmounted with
q heavy parapet mOlding, from which
/ springs u manSard covering of metallic
tlling OF unique pattern, and the whole
surmOunted by an iron Cresting of an
artistic design, with finals ten feet apart
In place Of the old wooden veranda,
| projecting balconies, supported by heavy
! scroll brackets Of iron, and inclOsed with
a new pattern of balustrade, combina-
/ ton Of iron scroll and spindle work, thus
atfording ample accommodation for oc-
cupants of the second floor for street OBJ
servatiOn.
The entablature above the granite col
umns and store fronts is handsomely
| decorated with ornamentation after the
French Renaissance, set on a diaper
! ground work in imitation OF terra Gotta,
the granite TrieZe below and the sill
! courses above forming a frame work for
i the Ornamentation.
| The painting in imitation of sandstone.
! Terra Gotta, pressed brick and slate is
complete reproduction TO the eye of the
materials represented, and the combina-
tion of the different coIors harmonic
well with the general lines and style of
| the structure. The work has been done
! by S: Carle, who has given it daily per-
