A MONSTER SKULL.
One That Was Said to Be Bigger Than
Bushel Basket.

Bushel Basket.
One of the most remarkable finds of
gigantic human remains of which we
have any record was that said to have
been made at Palermo, Sicily, In the
year 1916, when an entire skeleton of
unheard of proportions was unearthed
by some marble quarry men. These
mammoth remains measured exactly
thirty-four feet from head to foot and
nine feet seven inches from point to
point Of the shoulders.
A stone ak buried with this old time
giant may still be seen at Palermo in
section vi" Of the st. Isorent museum.
1t is made of a blush looking, fine
grained bowlder and appears to be
about two feet eight inches long by one
foot broad and nine inches through In
the thickest place. A musty, rusty look
ing tag attached to the relic informs
the visitor that 1t weighs fifty-two
pounds, but the general verdict is that
1t could not weigh over thirty or thir-
ty.five pounds.
The skeleton was burned by mob
In the year 1862 during the prevalence
of the black death at Palermo, the
ignorant, superstitious people believ-
ing that 1t was connected in some mys-
terious way with the death dealing dis
temper. The skull Of this giant, ac-
cording to Able Ferregus, was large
ly excessive of the baskets sayd to
hold the bushel, being fitted above and
belowe withe teeth to the number Of
sixty-foure, the each of which would
have weighed two ounces"

Animal Mimjcrv,

Observers Of nature are frequently
struck with the singular resemblances
of insects to leaves, dried sticks, ETC.,
and these likenesses are supposed to
have grown out Of the necessity Of
protection against or concealment
from enemies. An interesting example
Of this kind OF resemblance was
brought to the attention Of the En-
tomologicai society in London by a
naturalist, who exhibited spider
found inhabiting some rocks near
Cannes, on which were also fastened
the cases of species Of moth. When
at rest the spider exhibited almost
precisely the same form and color as
the moth cases surrounding it.
