THE GIANTS OF OLD
ANCIENT RACES MARVELS OF PHYS
ICAL DEVELOPMENT
The Scmlbnrbarlnnn of One Thountind
1cnru Abo Were All Kcmnrlcably
Proportioned Men The Giunto of
Ancient Greece und Home
That the human race has
nted In size as well as longevity Is a
fact well attested by various authori
ties A prominent Washington physi
cian who has made a life study of
brain and cerebral developments says
that on vislting the catacombs of Par
is what struck him most in those vast
repositories of the contents of the
citys ancient graveyards was the
great size of the skulls In comparison
with those of more modern mankind
This superiority of development In the
men who lived 1000 years or more ago
the scientist attributes to the open air
life then in vogue and the physical
sports and exercises indulged in
There are several races of giants
mentioned in the Bible and the Greek
and Roman historians have recorded
many examples which -serve to show
that these specimens of elongated hu
manity were by no means rare at one
period of the worlds history
Thus It is mentioned that the Emper
or Maxlmian was eight feet some inch
es high The body of Orestes accord
ing to the Greeks was eleven and a
half feet In height the giant Galboru
brought from Arabia to Rome under
Claudius Caesar measured near ten
feet and the bones of Sccondilla and
Pusio keepers of the gardens of Sal
lust were but six inches shorter
The probability is that outside of cul
tivated Greece and Rome among the
semibarbarous of the greater part of
present day European nations physical
development reached often to more
wondrous proportions
The Chevalier Scory in his voyage to
the peak of Tenerife sajrs that they
found in one of the sepulchral caverns
of that mountain the head of a
Guanche which had eighty teeth and
that the body was not less than fifteen
feet long The giant Ferragus slain
by Orlando nephew of Charlemagne
was eighteen feet high
Revland a celebrated anatomist who
wrote in 1614 says that some years
before that time there was to be seen
In the suburbs of St Germane the
tomb of the giant Isoret who was
twenty feet high
At Rouen in 1509 in digging in the
ditches near the Dominicamo there
was found a stone tomb containing a
skeleton whose shin bone reached up
to the girdle of the tallest man there
being about four feet long and conse
quently the body must have been sev
enteen or eighteen feet high Upon the
tomb was a plate of copper upon which
was engraved In this tomb lies the
noble and puissant lord the Chevalier
Ruon do Vallemont and his bones
There is Indeed evidence in the pon
derous armor and two handed swords
which remain to us in museums to
prove that the knight of the ages of
chivlary was a heroic specimen of hu
man architecture
Platerins a famous physician de
clared that he saw at Lucarne the true
human bones of a subject who must
have been at least nineteen feet high
Valance in Dauphlne boasts of pos
sessing the bones of the giant Bucart
tyrant of the Vivarais who was slain
by an arrow by the Count de Cabillon
his vassal The Dominicans had a part
of his shin bone with the articulation
of the knee and his figure painted In
fresco with an Inscription showing
that this giant was twenty two and
one half feet high and that his bones
were found in 1705 near the banks of
the Moderi a little river at the foot of
the mountain of Crusol upon which
tradition says the giant dwelt
On Jan 11 1G33 some masons dig
ging near the ruins of a castle in
Dauphine in a locality which had long
been known as the Glanf s field at the
depth of eighteen feet discovered a
brick tomb s thirty feet long twelve
feet wide and eight feet high on which
was a gray stone with the words
Theotobochus Rex cut thereon
When the tomb was opened they found
a human skeleton entire twenty five
and one half feet long ten feet wide
across the shoulders and five feet deep
from the breastbone to the back The
teeth were each about the size of an
oxs foot and his shin bone measured
four feet
Near Margarino in Sicily in 1516
was found a giant thirty feet high
His head was the size of a hogshead
and each of his teeth weighed five
ounces
Near Palermo in the valley of Ma
gara in Sicily a skeleton of a giant
thirty feet long was found in the year
1548 and another thirty three feet high
in 1550 Several of the gigantic bones
of the latter subject are still preserved
by private persons in Italy
The Athenians found thirty two fa
mous skeletons one thirty four and
another thirty six feet in height
At Totic in Bohemia in 75S was
found a skeleton the head of which
could scarcely lie encompassed by the
arms of two men together and whose
legs which are still preserved in the
castle of the city were twenty six feet
long
The celebrated English scientist Sir
Hans Sloane who treated the matter
very learnedly does not doubt the
facts above narrated but thinks the
bones were those of elephants whales
or other animals But it has been well
remarked that while elephants bones
may be -shown for those of giants to
superficial observers this can never
Impose upon such distinguished anat
omists as have testified in many cases
to the mammoth bones being unmis
takably human Philadelphia Record

PIANO EXPERIMENTS
tlylniy
by Sweeping the
Strings
With a Feather
Open wide your piano so that the
wires are exposed Over the wires
place sheets of music hnd when you
strike a tone you will find that It has
a rattling sound If now you play a
tune In the same manner with the
sheets of music still lying on the
strings it will sound as if the instru
ment were a banjo Anyhow It is a
good imitation
Now remove the music sheets and
press down gently but firmly the
keys belonging to any cord Take the
simple cord C E G for example
The keys must be pressed down with
out sounding them and held down
while some one gently brushes the
strings with a feather or a straw The
effect will be as if the cord were play
ed far away and is heard by you as
very soft tones
Change the cord always pressing
down the keys without sounding them
while the feather still sweeps the
strings lightly In this way you may
modulate or play a slow piece and the
effect will be very beautiful Indeed as
If heard from a great distance
The reason of this is that ordinarily
a damper rests against each string
but when the corresponding key is
struck or pressed down the damper Is
raised In sweeping the strings with
the feather lightly only the strings
that are undampered sound the others
being held mute by the dampers but
if the touch of the feather is too heavy
even the other strings may sound so
your care must be In making a light
and delicate touch
Now press down a key gently and
hold It Strike very hard the octave
above this key but do not hold it after
striking the tone When the wire of
the tone struck has been sufficiently
dampered so that it does not sound so
loud the pressed down key will be
heard to sing clearly even though
It was not struck This Is because
every note struck is composed of sev
eral notes being in reality a cord in
itself and each note contained in that
cord causes the corresponding note in
the keyboard to vibrate or sing In
sympathy If held down in like man
ner
The other notes that will sound under
these conditions will always be the
fifth above the octave the second oc
tave and the third and fifth above that
and these tones that sound are called
overtones
For Illustration if C In the lower
part of the piano be struck any or all
of the notes that follow will sound if
their keys are first pressed and held
down Philadelphia Press
POINTED PARAGRAPHS
When you are all done but finishing
you are just half done
If you have time to boast about be
ing worked to death you have not
much to do
Some people are so unfortunate that
their troubles make people laugh In
stead of cry
A man who underestimates himself
may be tiresome but he is not a cir
cumstance to the man who brags
People may disdain a compliment
but they feel a tender little spot in
them where it hit and refused to be
dislodged
It is a theory growing in tonviction
that the man who says a mean thing
about another isnt as mean as the man
who carries It
The man -who travels over the path
behind you wisely looks at your foot
prints and sees where you could have
avoided many a pitfall Atchison
Globe
Tiny Tree
The midget of the whole tree family
is the Greenland birch It is a perfect
tree in every sense of that term and
lives its allotted number of years from
75 to 130 just as other species of the
great birch family do although Its
height under the most favorable condi
tions seldom exceeds ten inches Whole
bluffs of the east and southeast coast
of Greenland are covered with thick
ets of this diminutive species of
woody plant and in many places
where the soil is uncommonly poor and
frozen from eight to ten months a year
a forest of these trees will flourish
for half a century without growing to
a height exceeding four inches
