Truly there were giants in colonial

was paid for 100000 sI ngles. Dur
ing the years he was accomplishing
this colossal work he cleared 300 acres
Of land, tapped for twenty years at
least 600 maple trees, making some

He could NOW six acres q day, giving
nine tons of hay. His strong, long
arms cut a swath twelve feet wide. In
his spare time he worked as a cooper,
and he was a famous drum maker.
A peculiar sensitiveness to lightning
has been noted in fishes. In several
cases trout and other fishes in tanks
