LARGEST HEAD
IN The WORLD.
Monut's Uranium Measures
More Than Flfty.One INCHES.
AN IDIOT SINCE INFANCY.
The Length Of His Body Is Less Than the
Circumference Of His Head
TAKEN TO HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT.
Drove Several Patients Inlo HyslsrIcs b. Waxing
Them Out Of Sound Sleep Ia tho Dead Of
Nlghi-Ssnt 10 BlsotxsII's

New York. June 15.--A man with the
biggest head in the world was sent from
Bellevue Hospital yesterday to the City
Hospital on Blackwells Island.
The man with the phenomenal head
is James Menut, 33 years old He was
taken TO Bellevue on Friday by his
sister Mrs. Emily B. Gerry, OF No. 1i3
East Forty-ninth street.
The head of the normal man meas
ures about 22 inches in circumference.
Menut's head measures 81 and one
eighth inches, or nearly two and half
times as much as the average mascu-
line head.
Recently the Bellevue doctors per-
formed an operation on child afflicted
with insanity. Menut has been an idiot
since infancy. His sister. Mrs. Gerry.
read of the operation OH the child. and
took her brother there in the hope that
an operation could be performed that
would restore his reason.
owing 10 the mans peculiar physical
construction the doctors determined To-
place him under observation for several
days before attempting the operation.
Menut is a dwarf. feet and l inch
tail. The circumference OF his head Is
more than two inches greater than his
extreme height.
From his waist up he Is proport honed
on gigantic lines. having a breadth OF
shoulder and a deptr or chest greater
than Jeffries, the champion pugilist.
But his legs are grotesqueIy short and
very thin.
Menut was placed in Ward 10. which
is tenanted by patients suffering from
ordinary naladies.
Menut was very quiet In the day
time. but i'm the late hours OF the night
he got into the habit of stealing out OF
his cot and wandering about the ward.
He would go up 10 sleeping patient
and pinch his fingers or tickle his toes
and awaken him and say:
You're H' or You can't lose me-"
and scamper back to his bed
This practice drove several patients
into mysteries. Waking out of a sound
sleep in the dead OF night they saw
lowering over them the strange figure
in white night shirt, with monstrous
head. the herculean shoulders and the
liliputian legs.
The first time the patients OF Ward rs
saw Menut was in the middle OF the
night. and the supersitious almost died
OF fright.
As IL was impossible TO restrain. him,
the doctors concluded to send him TO
the Blackwell's Island Hospital.

Late last night Congressman B. B.
Dovener stated that he had received
no reply to his telegram to Secretary
of War Alger, requesting him to or
der the mastering out of Company G.,
Fourth United States Immunes, one

upon. Capt. Dovener does not regard
this as an indication that the re-
quest will not be granted. The matter
would have to be referred to different
officials in any event, and would neces-
sariiy occasion delay. Capt. Dovener
expects reply not later than Monday.
The general committee on arrange
