A Skull as Zig as a Eusirci Basket.

One of the most remarkable fnGs of
gigantic human remains of which we
have any record was that made at Paler-
mo. Sicily, in the year !51G. when an en-
tire skeleton Of Unheard of proportions
was Unearthgd by some marble quarry
men. These mammoth remains meas
ured exactly "a feet from head to foot,
and feet inches from point to point Of
the shoulders. A stone AK buried with
this old time giant may still be seen at
Palermo in section - of the st. Isorert
museum. 1t is made of blush look
ing. fine grained lowlder, and appears to
be about = feet inches long by foot
broad and inches through in the thick
est place. A musty, rusty looking tag
attached to the relic informs the visitor
that it weighs 81 pounds, but the general
verdict is that it could not weigh over
80 or 35 pounds.
The skeleton was burned by mob in
the year 1862 during the prevalence of
the black death at Palermo, the igno-
rant, superssitious people believing that it
was connected in some mysterious way
with the death dealing distemper. The
skull of this giant, according to Able
Ferregus. was largely excessive of the
baskets sayd to hold the bushel, being
fitted above and belowe withe teeth to
the number of sixty-foure, the each of
which would have weighed two ounces"

skull on Tererif'e that had GO teeth.-St.
