Th# Remarkable Plated £»iaard. ^ The belief in a race of giants was once aimoHt universal. Even today large skeletons when found are some times reported as being those of giant human beings. This was especially true of the period abut the tenth and eleventh cuiUiries, and in the latter a most amazing discovery was reported, which threw the scientific world of the time into gn at excitement It was said that the body of I'allas, the son o( Evandcr, had been discovered beneath the tomb of the Emperor Henry III. The bon<*s wore enormous and proved to have l>elonged to a huge fossil ele phant. As late as tho fifteenth century a war of words was waged over a find of large bones, one party claiming that they belong'd to the giant Teutobochus. In 1857 a giant was discovered in Switzerland. The council of Lucerne requested a learned scientific man, Pro fessor Felix Plater of Basel, to report upon It. and he not only announced the bones ns part of n human giant but made a complete restoration, showing the man twenty feet high, which the proud city adopted as an ancestor In the arms of the commonwealth. Unfor tunately for the theory hnd much to the discomfiture of the people who had jalscd to a high pinnacle this mighty ancestor. It was found to be the re mains of an elephant * Nearly all the mastodon finds were attributed to giants, but there Is no evi dence that a human giant ever existed over eight feet In height, and It is ex tremely doubtful If this height was ever attained. ^ \ Giants other than human are very common In all branches of the animal kingdom—giants in every sense when compared to their pygmy representa tives of today. Borne years agmaome laborers In the, Benalik hills of India were engaged upon a government work avhen they came upon the re mains of a turtle that proved beyond question that these animals had their giants in the days of old. The shell which tho men exposed might have been used m a shelter for several men, and at first, before its bony nature was observed, It was thought by the natives to be a hut of some kind. For tunately the bones were uninjured, and tbey were taken out and removed to the British museum, where a complete restoration of the animal may be seen. The length of the turtle wag ten feet, its horizontal circumference twenty- five feet and Its girth fifteen feet, but It was estimated by scientists that this was not an adult and that when fully grown this huge creature would display a dome like back eight or nine feet high, giving a total length of ’twenty feet. . One of the common animals In equa torial South America and In Central America Is the lizard iguana, which attains a length of four or five feet and Is considered rather large, but It was a pygmy when compared to an ancestor that once wandered over Eng land and various portions of the world. •A number of years ago some working men were excavating and blasting In a quarry near Maidstone. England, when some bones were uncovered that caus ed profound astonishment on the part of the finders. The skeleton was per fect, and as It was lifted oUt, bone by bone, their amazement Increased, and the news was spread all over the coun try, attracting large numbers of peo ple. When the bones were placed in their proper position they were found to be the skeleton of a gigantic lizard that when alive must have been three times as bulky as the largest living ele phant and stood upon its bind legs like kangaroo, tearing down branches from the highest trees. Buch an ani mal was a slow mover and sluggish and must have fallen an easy prey to the human hunters. If they existed. The marine giants were even more .bizarre and remarkable than the land forma. If we can Imagine the little lignana lengthened out to thirty feet its back spines changed to broad Unlike objects. w» tana some Idea of the Ap pearance of one of the small dlnbsaurs.

Bs^nfo iftiich this ar- liaard were protected were two is evident that this strange creature could lift Itself up and sit like a kan garoo, resting upon Its powerful tall, which, with its enormous spines, must have been a terrible weapon. A giant from America had a skull that measured eight feet in length. Al most over the eyes were two largo horns, a third placed over the nose. The great length of the skull was given by a huge crest that was protected by a ridge of long plates. The mouth of the tricaratops was protected by a horny beak. In life It must have presented a formidable appearance, with a body clumsy and low like that of a hippo potamus, a long tall like an alligator’s, its head calling to mind the rhinoceros. This monster was twenty-five feet In length and must have been one of tho strangest animals of its time.—London Spectator. Barely Mleaed.
