MODERN GIANTS ARE FRAlL
Not So Strong AZ They Look and
Usually Observation-Disclosures
Live Longer. Il

The young Russian stripping
nine feet eight inches high, who
was found not long ago on the ST.
berian border and speedily intro
duced on European show bills, re-
wives interest in giants in general
and directs attention to the lit
erature Of those placid and limo.
cent Brobdignagians who seem to
keep up the line Of the order with
unfailing regularity. There is u
good deal of it when it is set in
photographed array, but it is
generally hidden awayin dust bins
Of oblivion beyond the ordinary
students exploration, says the
New York Tribune. =
In 1913 a French scholar named
Henzoin published a work about
giants, beginning with Adam,
who, as he asserted, was 123 feet
nine inches tall, Eve being only five
feet shorter. But Adams de-
scendants began to taper off from
the beginning. When they came
to Noah they had sheared down
that celebrated navigator to the
comparatively trivial stature of
q feet. Abraham was only 20 and
Moses stopped at 10, a dwarfsh
height in comparison. After the
great lawgiver the stature Of man
kind came down to the present
average, in which there has been
no marked change except in indi-
vidual cases since the beginning
of the historical and statistical
period. Now and then a 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 al
lowed the race entirely to run out.
In life they are usually weak
minded, as we'll 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 sew
enteenth century took the within
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 protec-
ton from the impish tricks of the
dwarfs, and they had to be sep.
arated before peace reigned
among them.
The ordinary giant of the circus,
pretending to be eight feet or
more in stature, is likely to be a
foot or SO shorter than that, the
rest being shake and boot heels.
How much is added to the real
height of the Muscovite Goliath
to make up his asserted nine feet
eight inches is a matter of conjec.
ture so far, and perhaps the show
men may succeed in concealing it
till the post-mortem measure
ments are taken. But if he has
anything near the stature claimed
for him he will easily head the
giant procession of all times, ex.
cept the Biblical ones, which for
such purposes of comparison may
properly be left out Of the count.
