f.meu. Giants Rec allied.

The scientific world will receive with
reserve the report that a fossil giant"
measuring some SO feet 10 inches In
height, has been unearthed In little
village with an unpronounceable name
in a remote part OF Mexico. There Is
growing skepticism as to the existence
in any period of the worlds develop
ment of men greatly exceeding In
stature the men Of the present day. The
fossil giants of the past have usually
been proved to be hoaxes devised by
enterprising shcwmen-
Og Of Eastman, mentioned in Deuter
onomy, was a pigmy by comparison
with the great giant reported in the
news dispatches from Mexico City.
His bedstead was iron: nine cubits OF
length thereof. and four cubits was
the breadth. after the cubit of man"
But we suppose that Or was no more
than Is feet tall. unless he was ac-
customed to let his feet hang over the
footrail, and he was considerably taller
than any Of whom there are any other
records. The Einlander OF Topinard.
the French anthropoligist, was only liz
inches tall. Winkelmaier.Nt the Austrian,
who died in 1887. was 103 inches ytaHs
Charles Bryne. the Irishman. measured
100 inches. Pliny mentions, an Arabian
giant 9x feet tall and two others who
were 10 feet in stature, but allowance
must be made for the imagination or
the narrator.-Seattle Post Intelligence
