NINE FOOT GIANT.
Ate Seventeen Oranges For Breakfast-EIghty
Cigarettes Daily.

New York (SpeciaD - The Russian
giant, Machnow, who is nine feet two
inches tall in his stockings, is at Ellis
Island, and the prospects are that he will
not be admitted to the United States un-
conditionally
MachnOw, with his wife and the agent
OF Oscar Hammerstein, arrived here On
the steamship Pretoria, and though the
giant was travelling as 4 frSt-cabin pas
Scnger, he was held up because the immi-
FRACTION authorities had received a letter
saying that he should not be allowed to
land.
The doctors got hold of him and after
several hours examination came to the
conclusion that the giant was suffering
from kidney disease. A board OF in
quiry will look into the case.
Big as the giant IS, his appetite is
not large. He did devour II oranges
for his breakfast; but, then. he likes or
anges. OF other food he eats about
what an ordinary man would eat.
His capacity for cigarettes, however,
is abnormal Each day he smokes some
50 small Russian coffin nails"
