WASHINGTON, May ,. - That the
human race has degenerated in size as
well as longevity Is fact well attest
ed by various authorities. A promi-
nent Washington physician who has
made life study Of brain and cere-
bral development says that, in visit
ing the catacombs Of Paris, what
struck him most in those vast repCsi-
tories Of the contents OF the city's
ancient graveyards was the size Of the
skulls In comparison with those Of
more modern mankind. This supefio-
rity Of development in the men who
lived a thousand years or more ago the
scientist attributes to the open-air
life then in vogue and the physical
sports and exercises INDUCED in.
There are several races Of giants
mentioned in the Bible and the Greek
and Roman historians have recorded
many examples which serve TO show
that these specimens of elongated
humanity were by no means rare at
one period Of the worlds history.
Thus, it is mentioned that the EN-
peror Macmillan was : feet some
inches high. The body of Orestes, &C
cording to the Greeks, was lll feet in
height, the giant ,Galbora, brought
from Ababla to Rome under Claudius
Caesar, measured near 20 feet, and the
bones of Secondilla and Pusio, keepers
Of the gardens Of Sallust were but
six inches shorter.

Other Monsters of Humanity.

Near Margarine, in Sicily, in 1916,
was founu giant thirty feet high.
His head was the size of a hogshead
and each of his teeth weighed five
ounces.
Near Palermo, in the valley of Ma
CARA, in Sicily, a skeleton Of a giant
thirty feet long was found in the year
l5IS and another thirty-three feet
high in 1850. Several Of the gigantic
bones of the latter subject are still
preserved by private persons in Italy.
The Athenians found thirty.two
famous skeletons, one thirty.four and
another thirty.six feet in height.
At Totic, in Bohemia, in 1853, was
found a skeleton, the head Of which
could scarcely be encompassed by the
arms Of two men together, and whose
legs, which are still preserved in the
castle Of the city, were twenty.s'x feet
long The skull of the giant found in
Macedonia September, 1851, held 2lO
pounds Of corn.
The celebrated English scientist,
Sir Hans Sloane, who treated the mat
ter learnedly, does not doubt the facts
above narrated, but thinks the bones
were those of elephants, whales or
other animals. But it has been well
remarked that, while elephants bones
may be shown for those of giants to
superficial observers, this can never
impose upon such distinguished ana
ton lsts as have testified in many cases
to the mammoth bones being unmis-
takably human.

BOOZE AND AGRICULTURE.

There is no business occupation In
which the booze habit does not exert
blighting and disastrous effect and
none in which it is more true than in
agriculture, for there is none in which
success depends more largely upon a
clear and level head as well as perse-
vering and well directed effort. We
have in mind an acquaintance Of many
years ago who when his fathers estate
was divided received fine 160 acre
farm as his due portion. Our friend
was hard worker and soon after COM
ing into possession of the farm became
as hard q drinker. In the course of
fifteen years he succeeded in transfer
ring his profits into the saloon keepers
till and in return was able to show q
dilapidated and rundown farm, mort.
gagged to the limit, while empty kegs
and bottles, with poverty and misery,
bore eloquent yet pathetic testimony to
his material and moral decadence.
Finally, when the dregs in the bottom
of the cup had been drained and he
''fain would fill his belly with the
husks that the swine did eat" he came
to, took brace and bravely began to
retrace his weary steps up the long
incline toward a temperate prosperity.
When last we heard of him he had not
yet reached the summit, but was near
ly there, the years past middle life
which should have known somewhat of
leisure and much of contentment hav-
ing been passed in the hard toll and
drudgery in the reclamation of his lost
estate. 1t took our friend long time
to learn the lesson that booze has no
place in successful agriculture, but he
learned 1t. His case is cited here for
the benefit of some who are traversing
the same road, but don't appreciate the
finish-the dregs and the husks.

FREE GRAIN ALCOHOL ASSURED.

1t is a matter of utmost significance
from the standpoint of securing as
cheap and effective light, heat and mo-
tor power as possible that the bill pro-
viding for the removal of the duty OF
S2.07 a gallon from grain alcohol de
use as a beverage-has passed both
houses of congress. The bill, in which
there may be some unimportant changes
before ii receives the signature of the
president, provides for the removal of
the duty on and after Jan. i, 1907.
This will give the manufacturers Of
wood alcohol, which owing to the high
price of grain alcohol has been largely
used as a substitute for it, time to adj
just themselves to the new conditions,
getting rid of their stocks and read
justing their distillery equipment. How
ever, it is thought that in short time
practically all of the methyl or wood
alcohol would be needed in denaturing
the grain or ethyl alcohol, so that the
manufacturers of wood alcohol would
suffer no permanent loss. In report
by Congressman Payne of the ways
and means committee the statement is
made that a record kept at big dis
tillery at Peoria, H., and covering q
period of ten years showed that the
cost of making a gallon of proof alco-
hol was 1S9 cents, while the cost of
the grain used to produce it was $50
cents on the basis of corn at 42.3 cents
per bushel, which would make the to-
tai cost 1918 cents per proof or test
gallon, or 1914 cents per wine or bulk
gallon testing 80 per cent With corn
at 80 cents per bushel and each bushel
producing five proof gallons, 80 per
cent denatured alcohol would cost 14.2O
cents per gallon. The same report
states that alcohol can be made from
the lowest quality of Cuban molasses,
which is now put on the eastern mar
ket at trifie above cost of transporta-
ton, at 10 cents per gallon. In view
of these figures and the further fact
that q gallon of alcohol will last as
long as two gallons of kerosene and Is
cheaper. safer and cleaner than gaso-
lllt VI thC Jaw sJocS
passed is perhaps more fully realized.
Secretary Wilson of the department of
agriculture, who has realized the i'm
portance of free alcohol to the indus
trial and agricultural interests of the
country and who has given the bill in
question cordial support from the start,
states that 1.-The northern states could
readily depend upon the white potato
as source of heat and light, the south
ern states upon the yam and sweet po-
tato and the western states upon the
sugar beet. The average amount of
sugar and starch that goes to waste in
the stalks of Indian corn annually
would make 100 gallons of commercial
alcohol per acre. When we consider
that the number of acres in Indian
corn is approximately 100,000,O00 it Is
seen that the quantity of alcohol that
is lost in the stalks is so large as to
be almost beyond the grasp of our con-
ception."
