LIVED LONG WITHOUT EATING
Men and Animals Have Made Some
Remarkable Fasts . Mat.
ter Of Record.

The record for fasting. SO far a.
humanity Is concerned. Is held BY
Granie French murderer. who de-
tcrmined to starve himself to death.
and from the day of his arrest refused
to eat. In spite OF every effort on the
part OF his warders. who first tried
tempting him to eat by placing the
most dainty meals in his cell. and
when that failed. attempted feeding
him by force. he held out for 63 days.
at the end OF which time he died. Up
to then the longest authenticated fast
on record was that accomplished BY
Giovanni Succi. who tasted at the
Royal Aquarium. London, for IS days.
But these records sink into insignin.
cance when compared with the fat
pig Of Dover. enshrined In DR.. w. B.

This pig weighed 100 pounds and was
entombed for 160 days by the fall OF
n portion of the chalk cliffs. When
dug out It weighed only 40 pounds.
