busy quarter which lies all round

blank gray houses, with their gray
wooden shutters, look no more real
than the cardboard houses in stage

bic than any one is alive inside the
houses. You never see face at q
window, and no one ever seems to
emerge through the great brown

THE CARDIFF GIANT.
A Famous Fake That Even Deceived
Many Scientists.

In the autumn of 1869 it was ru-
mored through the Onondaga val
ley, in New York state, that a CO.
lossal petrifed man had been un-
earthed by q farmer of Cardiff,
village not far from Syracuse.
Abandoning their crops, the coun-
try folks for miles around hurried
to see the marvel and were closely
followed by the dwellers in Syra-
cuse and other nearby cities. Soon
the lucky farmer, who had set up
tent over the hole where the alleg-
ed petrifed corpse lay, was doing a
profitable business in admission
fees. Those who paid to enter be-
held at the bottom of a six foot pit
the figure of an enormous man,
with the limbs contracted, as
though he had died in agony, and
the body discolored, apparently
from long contact with the earth.
Nobody was allowed to touch the
petrifed man, a fact which doubt
less accounted for the delay in ex-
posing the fraud. And SO lifelike
was the appearance that even sci
entists pronounced it genuine, a
story being finally circulated that
the remains had been positively
identified by an Onondaga squaw
as those of a gigantic Indian
prophet who had died many centu-
ries before and had predicted that
his people would see him again.
The Snowman, Barnum,. vainly tried
to buy the giant, and syndicate
was actually formed to exploit it
from town to town.
But day came when the famous
paleontologist, Professor Marsh of
Yale, managed to make chose ex-
animation and at once pronounced
it a humbug, ,Eved out of soft
stone, and that ~recently. In
vestigation then 81. ed that the
farmer had been nding large
sums of money to a man in the
west named Hull. At that juno
ture, unlukilv for the conspirators,
Hall himself appeared at Cardiff
and was Immediately recognized by
several farmers as a man they had
met one night at roadside tavern
when he was carting a large box,
which he explained to them con-
tanned some tobacco cutting ma
chinery consigned to parties in
Syracuse. Following up this clew,
it was found that no such box had
passed through the tollgate /, be-
tween Cardiff and Syracuse, and
ultimately a full confession was OBJ
tanned.
1t then appeared that the giant
had been cut out of block OF
stone, the work being begun at Fort
Dodge, Ia, and completed at Chi
cage, whence the grotesque but real
istic statue was shipped to q place
near Binghamton. Here Hull load
ed it on a wagon and carried it to
the Cardiff farmer, who was his
brother-in-law, and between them
they managed to bury it secretly. 1t
is worth adding that some twenty
years later a similar hoax was per-
petrated in Australia, the swindlers
pocketing a vast amount of money
before the inevitable exposure came.
