Eraudulent Giants.

The teeth and bones Of the fossil ele-
phants found in Europe were formerly
assigned to giants, and many remark
able stories were circulated regarding
what was supposed to have been an
extinct race Of men with teeth weigh
ing from four to ten pounds" The
last of these finds, which was believed
to be the remains of giant Of the
genus homo, was discovered during
the reign of Louis XIV. and was re-
ferred to as the giant Of Dauphine.
These gigantic remains were discov'
cred by Il surgeon, who stated they
were inclosed in an enormous sepul
chre covered with a stone slab which
bore the inscription, "Teutobochus
Rex" and that in the vicinity there
were also found coins and medals, al
of which showed the remains to be
those Of a giant king of Cimbri, who
fought against Marius and was slain
1t was afterward proved that the sur
geon discoverer of these gigantic re
mains was as great q fraud as the
mar who manufactured the plaster
cast known as the Cardiff Giant"

Toy Is the Prototype of Flying Ma
chinc-Future of the Latter.
The kite is the prototype from which
the flying machine will be developed.
The modern idea is only the evolution
Of this toy, substituting motor and
propeller for the string. The problem
Is threefold.
/. To get surface strong enough
to support one pound per square foot.
2. To get surface which Is stable.
8. To get a surface which will offer
30 little resistance to forward motion
that but little power is needed to drive
1t.
The first problem seems to be salts
factorily answered by the Blue Hill
box kite construction. This kite. built
In the form of truss, is capable of
standing a pressure of five pounds per
square foot and hardly any flying ma
chine would be required to stand such
pressure. Kites are Held to the
ground and thus feel pressure equal
to that of the actual velocity of the
wind but when flying machine
leaves the ground and loses its first
inertia there exists for il but one wind,
and that Is the wind of its own max
ing.
To illustrate. The resistance to the
movement of steamer is dependent
upon its speed relative TO the water in
which 1t floats and is independent of
whether 1t floats in a strong current OF
In calm water To tiy in Il wind which
is moving over the earth ut the rate
of 100 miles an hour involves no more
pressure on the machine than If 1t was
calm, and therefore the supporting sur
face need only be made strong enough
to stand the pressure necessary to sup
port the weight at given ratio OF
surface to weight. which in this case
is one pound to one square foot
Since. then, these kites above Spoken
of can stand a pressure of five pounds
per square foot, | claim their factor Of
safety is sufficiently large to prevent

dents conclusions with reference to the
effect of athletics coincide with the

dent whose choice was determined by
such tleeting glory might find that his
impulsive selection had condemned him
to share in the humiliation of four
years OF defeat. Nor Is 1t by any mea $
certain that even n long record for vic
tory or defeat exerts any marked 'n6u-
ence upon the attendance. Harvard,
which has by far the largest attendance
OF any university In the country, has
not been fortunate In athletics. Taking
the two sports that are given the
widest notoriety, boat racing and
football, 1t will be found that
she has lost twelve out of fifteen
races with Yale since 1884 and
ten out Of fifteen foot ball games. In
