The young Russian STRIPPING nine feet eight
inches high who was found not long ago on the
Siberian. border and speedily introduced on
European show bills revives interest in giants
in general and directs attention to the litera-
ture of those placid and innocent Brobdingna-
gians who seem to keep up the line of their
order with unfailing regularity There is a
good deal of it when it is set in bibliographical
array, but it is generally hidden away in dust
bins of oblivion beyond the ordinary students
exploration.
In 171S a French scholar named HenZon pub
lished work about giants, beginning with
Adam, who, as he asserted, was 123 feet 8
inches tall, Eve being only five feet shorter
But Adams descendants began to taper off
from the beginning. When they came to Noah
they had sheared down that celebrated naviga-
tor to the comparatively trivial stature of TWEEN
ty-seven feet. Abraham was only twenty and
Moses stopped at thirteen, dwarfish 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 individual cases, since the
beginning of the historical and statistical
period. Now and then colossus arises out of
a generation Of pygmies like the young Rus
sian referred TO, and now and then big skele-
ton 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 weakminded, as well
as frail of body, and as a rule they do not live
long. Dwarfs, on the other hand. are often
nimble witted and stand a good chance of
longevity. An Austrian Empress in the seven
teenth century took the whim to round up all
the giants and dwarfs in her empire and turn
them in together. Apprehension 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 imp
ish tricks of the dwarfs, and they had to be
separated before peace reigned among them
The ordinary giant of the circus. pretending
to be eight feet and more in stature, is likely to
be foot or so shorter than that, the rest being
shake and boot heel. How much is added to
the real height Of this Muscovlte Goliath to
make up his asserted nine feet eight inches is
matter of conjecture so far, and perhaps the
showmen may succeed in concealing 1t till post
mortem measurements are taken. But If he
has anything near the stature claimed for him
he will easily lead the giants procession OF all
times except the Biblical ones, which for such
purposes of comparison may properly be left
out Of the count.

.I0HN HAYS DIPLOMACY.

The diplomatic career of John Hay was
marked with many fine and victorious qualities
Of which none was more notable or more ad-
mirable than that serene but resolute foresight
which moved him to seek opportunity rathe2
than to await necessity. 1t was that consplcu-
Gus if not dominant characteristic which-We
NAV say it without distinguished
his administration Of the State Department
above that Of some, and, indeed, of most, of his
predecessors He was the last man in the
world TO seek antagonisms and conflicts, but he
was equally the last to close his senses against
the signs of the times and TO await the clutch
of Circumstance before listening to the voice OF
duty. There is an oldtime saying too often
misapplied, that we should not cross bridge
before we come 20 it. OF that principle, so far
as it is true and valid, lie was not unmindful,
but he never permitted it to obscure his vision
or beguile him into neglectng reasonable prep
aration for inevitable emergencies.
a few citations from long record Of excep-
tional industry will illustrate this admirable
quality Of his diplomacy. The Clayton-Bulwer
Treaty had for many years been a source Of
irritation between America and Great Britain
and a grave impediment TO the construction
across the American istnmus Of "an American
canal under American control" To some it had
seemed to present a forbidding problem, the
solution of which was sure to be unpleasant
and was therefore TO be avoided as long as
possible; while TO others it was a thing to be
summarily disregarded with n gratuitous con-
tempt of consequences. To John Hay it was
neither of these. but rather a problem the
prompt solution of which was to be earnestly
sought by mutually amicable means and with
confidence In a mutually bene1cent end. In
such q solution OF IL he succeeded, and thus
transformed what had been a menace OF
estrangement into bond Of union, and what
had been an obstacle into an aid TO the great
work which this nation had so long desired.
Again, China presented a condition OF affairs
which mind less discreet and less brave might
have regarded as eminently desirable for
America TO leave alone reckoning that for this
country TO Join In the work of restoring order
would be TO involve itself In mischievous en-
tanglements, and that 10 move for the "open
door, would be an intrusion which the world
would resent. Not such was his view Of the
case. He saw from afar the opportunity at
once of conserving national interests and Of
New-York tribune., 1905-07-03

his own time and employ his own method or
buttressing his conjectures, but it is TO be hoped
that he will attempt to do so soon. The chance
that anybody else will rob him of the honor of
priority in discovery is small Nothing can be
lost, apparently, and much might be gained by
diligence in seeking the corrobOration which is
requisite TO the general acceptance of his be-
lefs.
As The Tribune recently pointed out, there Is
an apparent discrepancy between Professor
Burke's results and some obtained by Professor
Danysz, of the Pasteur Institute in Paris That
well known bacteriologist, in 1908. made an ex-
tensive series of observations of the effect of
radium upon various animals and also upon diff
ferent parts of the same animal. The growth
of the hair of mice seemed to be stimulated.
On the skin painful sores We're developed. The
influence upon the nerves of mice and those of
guinea pigs was fatal, symptoms Of paralysis or
tetanus first appearing. With bacteria the re-
suits were not uniform Sometimes the radium
killed them, and sOmetimes-more frequently.
it merely arrested development. On the whole.
it will be seen. radium appears to have operated
upon these organisms in an unwhOlesOme man
ner. The experiments of Professor DanysZ JUS
tify no final conclusion. to be sure but they
establish a provisional barrier in the way of be-
lieving that life can be generated by radium.

promoting international concord and justice,
and he showed himself equally swift in discern
ment and efficient in execution
1t was thus that he did his work, both in the
achievements of high diplomacy" and in the
minute details of laborious routine; not as
mere tide waiter but as farseeing and inita-
tive taking statesman, intent upon the interests
of all time and of all humanity. His work was
of the widest physical range, from Alaska to
South Africa and from America to its antip-
odes; and it was Of equal range in character,
involving the settlement of disputes half cen
tury old and also of problems new and insist
ent With all these varied tasks he dealt with
inexhaustible versatility and adaptiveness, and
yet with the constant spirit of benevoence of
valor and of truth. His epigrammatic descrip-
ton of American foreign policy as a combina-
ton Of the Monroe Doctrine and the Golden
Rule, though ignorantly carped at by the spite
full and unthinking, fitting exposition of
the supreme ideals at which ne necessarily
aimed and toward which he so successfully
strove-the maintenance of the noblest tradi-
tons OF American independence and the prac-
tice of the loftiest and purest principle of the
moral law. 1t is such an administration of our
foreign affairs that has placed the name of Hay
high on the roster of American diplomatic
statesmen and has reflected upon the latest
pages of American history an abundant meas
ure of the lustre that adorned its earliest heroic
years.

TIE FEDERAL BALANCE SHEET

The Treasury's balance sheet for the fiscal
GEAR 1903 90 shows a deficit of S24, ,3O5, ,9O3. A
month ago the deficit was $50, 6,63S, ,624, but June
produced the very substantial surplus Of S12-
843.777, and more than made good the losses
Of May and April. The Tribune has all along
contended that the excess of expenditures over
receipts for the full year would not 60 much
beyond S25,Oooo00. For the first two months
July and August, 1904-the deficit was SOB 79O-
600. and the Democratic candidates for PresI-
dent and e-President and many Democratic
newspapers were then predicting that the years
operations would show a net loss of "about
S14o.O0o.Oo0" We said at that time that the
Treasury wonld probably be able to pay its
way for tho remaining ten months of the fiscal
year. 1t has done so. The deficit on June 30
1906, Is only $4,000 greater than ii was on
August 81, 1904. The calculations Of the Parker
