BRITISH ARISTocRAT A GIANT
Cousin Of Lord LasesIiss Nearly seven
Feet in Height and strong In
Proportion.

Had Brian Piers Lascelles lived to
sin and close friend Lord Lascellrs
to Princess Mary in Westminster ab-
hey, hr would undoubtedly have dis
tracted attention from the bridegroom
and the royal bride.
Brian I,aSceleS was giant and the
coffin in which he WAS laid 10 rest II
short tim" ago in the famlly maui
solemn of the LaScrllcS measured nine
feet in length.
For Brian La~cellrS stood six feet
eleven iuch"S In his Stnc,;inGS and was
generally hnuwn us The Mnsdalen
Giant" by reason Of the attention
which he attracted M Oxford while
completing his education nj Magdalcn
college. Indeed. in his undergraduate
days he used Ia be included among
sights Of the university.
Brian LaScelles graduated with hon
ors and, with taste for natural SCI
ence and research, he eventually be-
came professor OF science at Harrow,
and librarian of the college as well as
the curator or its museum.
His strength WIS in keeping with
his size and his jaws might almost be
described as having been Of iron. He
gave curious illustration OF this on
one occasion.
Much Interested In archaeological re-
search he had special theories as to
how flint arrow heads had been made,
and attending IN Archaeological meet
ing one day, he produced from his
pocket partly shaped arrow head OF
glass. He related that on his way
to the meeting he had picked up
piece Of broken bottle and that he
had shaped 1t with his teeth as he
came along. He then Went on tO com
plete the work by crunching on sew
eral successive pieces Of the glass with
his teeth until he had succeeded in
celebrating well-shaped arrow head.
He had keen sense Of hutnor and
n great stock Of anecdotes about the
| difficulties which he encountered, eSpe-
clally when travelling abroad, in con-
sequences Of his height.
Had ne lived until the end Of last
February he would asSuredly have
| been. as a near relative of the bride
groom, one OF the most conspicuous
| figures ut the wedding in Westminster
| abbey Of Princess Mary.

The Ukraine, which has been known
as the sugar bowl and -four bin Of
Europe, is pretty nearly empty and 1t
is a question whether the country has
enough to keep its own people until
the next harvest. The wheat crop last
year was hard hit by reason of the
absence of the SHOWS which allowed
the seed to be frozen in the ground
for lack Of protection granted by the
mantle of snow.

AS a rule the whole bunch were good
singers, but several had exceptional
voices. Our old quartette, Taggart,

to do summer nights, serenading the
girls and entertaining the public in
