BARMuM NOT FIRST IN FIELD
French Surgeon, Centuries Ago, Proved
Himself Genius In the Art Of
"Humbuggery."

On January II, 1913, some ma
sons were digging near the ruins Of
the castle near Dauphine, Upper
Burgundy, in a field which by tradi-
ton has long been called the Giants
field. At depth Of IS feet>they dis
covered brick tomb, 80 feet long,
IL feet broad and 9 feet high, bear
ing the inscription, "Theutobochua
Rex" Within was giant skeleton,
rs feet 6 inches in length, 10 feet
across the shoulders and feet from
the breastbone to the backbone. The
teeth were about the size of an ox's
foot, and the shinbone measured 4
feet. Some Of the bones were car.
ried to Paris and placed on exhibi-
ton. They spoke for themselves, to
disastrous result, as will be seen.
With regard to the story, Parisians
had to depend upon the word of the
self-alleged organizer of that party
Of masons. He was a surgeon named
Muzerein. His ingenuity and energy
in advertising himself and his giant
indicate that he was the Barnum of
his day. Both the pleasure-seeking
and the scientific world were excited
over the wonderful discovery. Thou:
sands flocked to see the bones. Doc.
tor Muzerein was on the high road Ia
fortune when one day an anatomist
announced that the skeleton of King
Theutobochus was nothing more
than a part of the fossil remains Of
an elephant.
