MODERN GIANTS ARE FRAIL.
Not So Strong as They Look and Usual
" Short-Lived.

From the New York Tribune.
The young Russian stripping feet
inches high who was found not long ago
on the Siberian border and speedily intro
duced on European show bills revives IN
terest In giant. in general and directs at.
terItion to the literature OF those placid and
innocent Brobdigna gians who seem to keep
up the line Of the order with unfailing reg.
ulartty. There II q good deal OF It when II
- set IN photographed array. but It Is gen.
orally hidden away in dust bins of oblivion
beyond the ordinary students exploration
In IT'S French scholar named Henzoin
published a work about giants. beginning
with Adam. who. az he asserted. was 125
feet inches tall, Eve being only five feet
shorter. But Adams descendants began to
taper or from the beginning. When they
came to Noah they had sheared down that
celebrated navigator to the comparatively
trivial stature Of n feet Abraham was
only 20, and Moses stopped at Is. dwarf
ish height In the comparison After the
great lawgiver the stature Of mankind came
down to it's present average. in which there
has been no marked change except In fndl-
vfdual cases since the beginning OF the his
torical and statistical period Now and
then q colossus arises out OF the generation
OF pygmies, like the young Russian referred
to, and now and then a big skeleton is dug
up, showing that nature has some obscure
need Of giants and has never allowed the
race entirely to run out.
In life they are usually weak-minded, as
well as frail Of body. and as a rule they do
are often nimble-witted and stand a good
chance Of longevity. An Austrian empress
in the seventeenth century took the whim
to round UP all the giants and dwarfs in her
empire and turn them in together. Appre-
hension was expressed that the big ones
would terrify the small ones, but It was the
other way. The giants were compelled to
ask for protection from the impish tricks OF
the dwarfs. and they had to be separated
before peace redgned among them.
The ordinary giant of the circus, pretend
ing to be feet and more in stature, is like
ly to be a foot or 50 shorter than that, the
rest being shake and boot heels. How
much II added to the real height of the
Muscovite Goliath to make up his asserted
feet inches IS q matter of conjecture SO
far, and perhaps the showmen may succeed
in concealinG It till post-morteTn measure
ments are taken. But il he has anything
near the stature claimed for him he Will
easily head the giant procession Of all
times, except the biblical ones, which for
such purposes of comparison may properly
be left out of the count.

December corn on lower prices at Liver

During the last hour of trading great ac-

OF the fresh upturn in values here was

Drowned in Wheat.
From the Pilgrim

FROM The Pilgrim.
Two years ago freighter tied up at one
OF the local docks to take on a cargo of
grain The chutes were put into her matches
and force OF men was sent into the hold
TO trim the cargo Their duties were to
see that the wheat was properly distributed
so that she would run on an even keel dur
ing her voyage. The load was put on. the
chutes were pulled up and the vessel was
sent on her way. The following morning
one Of the old employees of the elevator
failed to appear for duty. Inquiry at his
home failed to reveal ais whereabo and
the police were sent In search of him. He
was not addicted to the use of LIQUOR. HIS
home life had been happy and he was fond
OF his children.
After a week of suspense word finally
came of the missing man. They had found
his body buried under tons Of wheat In the
hold of the vessel which he had helped To
load In an unguarded moment he had
come too close to the flood OF grain pouring
out Of the spouts; 1t had caught him and he
was buried In n living death.
Yet wheat Is one OF the necessities Of life
and its product Is the stan Of existence. It's
benefits are far-reaching and the wealth II
represents II enormous. II Is king
Wheat" the ruling cereal. before which all
others must step ast1o.

Proposed Improvements in Submarines

FROM the Scientific American.
The English naval department is carry
Ing out experiments with a now type OF
periscope for submarines. The accident
to the submarine "A1," which was run
down by liner and sunk, demonstrated
the deficiency OF the existing instrument
which renders only an arc of the surround
ing sea visible. With s.,e latest tyne. how
ever the whole circle Of the surface Is
rendered visible. The admiralty also propose
to test various methods of eliminating the
foul air from the interior during a long
period Of submersion. When the craft ia
submerged the noxious gases. owing TO their
density. settle to the bottom Of the craft.
1t Is proposed to experiment with fans for
maintaining a constant circulation of the
atmosphere within the boat, and to eject
the noxious foul gases by Jets of COM
pressed air. These In combination will. II
is anticipated. enable the unhealthy fumes
to be passed through the exhaust pipe Lead
ing out through the deck abaft the coming
tower and thus leave the interior constantly
