scarcity of wool and cotton has forced
tho government to employ hundreds

"CARDIFF GlAIT" PURE FAKE
Had Its Origin In Hoax Which Is Un.
derstood to Have Had Its
lnceptlon..at Chicago.
Andrew D. White gives some of the
particulars of tho "Cardiff Giant" In
a book entitled "The True Story of a
Remarkable Deception." The Cardiff
glnnt was the huge stone image of a
mnnvwhich Farmer Newell of Cardiff,.
N. Y claimed to have unearthed' while
digging a well In the autumn of 1809.
After It had been sold to a Joint-stock
conlpnny formed to exploit tlie wonder
for show purposes, Bnrnuui tried to
buy it or his own museum, but his of
fer vas, declined. The showman then
had an Imitation made, with the result
tliat two Cardiff giants were on exhi
bition nt the snmo time, tho dupllcnte
being shown to the public as "the only
nnd original." Doctor White attributes,
the exposure of the fake to Professor
Marsh of Yule; in nnother account it
was Dr. John V. Boynton of Syracuse,
N.'Y., vihof laid, bare the fraud. Tho
original Cardiff giant was carved or
chiseled out ot a gypsum block In n
stoneyard In Chicago and was trans
ported thence by rail and wagon to
Cardiff. According to Doctor White,
scientists as well as Clergymen wero
much Impressed "with tho colossal fig
ure, Dr. .Tnnies Hall, 'state geologist,
issuing a, statement in which he de-
scribed tho giant as "the most remark
nblo object brought to light in this
country"- nnd as "deserving tho atten
tion of archaeologists."
