Andrew IX White gives some of th? parnciuars 01 rue Laruiu itijiui t:i a book entitled "The True Story of a Remarkable Deception." The Cardiff Skint was tlie huge stone image of a man which Farmer Newell of Cardiff. X. Y.. claimed to have unearthed while flipping a well in the autumn of ISM. After it had been sold to a joint-stock romps* ny formed to exploit the wonder Tor show purposes. Bnrnum tried to buy It for his own museum, but his offer was declined. The showman then told an imitation m;ide. with the result rhat two Cardiff giants were on exhibition at the same time, the duplicate being shown to the public as "the only ind original." Doctor White attributes ["he exposure of the fake to Professor Marsh of Yale; in another account it i\aK I)r. John V. Bo.vnton of Syracuse. N". Y., uho laid bare the fraud. The original Caitiff giant was carved or chiseled out of a gvpsum block in a <toneyard in Chicago and was tTans j 1 XI - 1 II Ii-o rmn tn ,H>ru-u uiciice r?y ran :iun Cardiff.

Amid all the chaos of the Italian reTeat one kept on meeting utterly Incongruous figures, for alongside of >thers road-worn, shabby and dirty, to )e clean and well dressed 1s to be grotesque. Amid this multitude of haggard, unwished, unshaven, dead beat males, noticed two Italian ladies treading lelicately over the rough ballast of he railway track. They had naturally jrought with them in that flight the most valuable of their possessions, vhich were of a kind conveniently earned on their persons. Against this jray background of mud and rubbish md a disbanded army their two fig ires glittered with a brilliance that von Id have been conspicuous in the 3ue de la Paix. Heavy sable furs and muffs almost >owed their shoulders; each finger had wo or three rings that flashed in the ight; round their necks were gold 'hains hung with pendants, and yet nstead of the air cf self-satisfied osentation that might well hav^ gone vith a display so lavish, they were only wo pathetically little, frightened, per>lexed faces. an<? an uncertain gait ;hat did not promise much further progress along that ankle-wrenching ?' _ X.I.. ailway line.?O.

Since October 1 the radio station at Cavite, co-operating with the PhiPp >ino bureau of posts and the Manila )bservatory. has been sending the time signals of the 120th meridian east of Greenwich at 11 a. m. and 10 p. m. ivery day, says Science. For the purpose of sending time siglals, the transmitting clock of the Malila observatory is connected with the Cavite wireless station through the bureau of posts. Manila observatory time signals begin at 10:55 a. m. and y:DO ). m., standard time of the 120th me idian east of Greenwich, and continue 'or five minutes. During this interval ivery tick of the clock is transmitted, except the 28th, 29th, 54th 55th, 56th, 57th. 5Stli and 59th of each minute. The situation of Manila In the i'uufic makes this service of the greatest mportance to the mercantile and naval leets that ply upon that ocean. Result of Sugar Shortage.
