"CARDIFF GIANT" PURE FAKE
Had It* Origin tn Hoax Which It Un
derstood to Have Had Ita
Inception at Chicago.
Andrew D. White gives some of the
particulars of the "Cardiff Giant" In
S book entitled "The Tru# Story of a
Remarkable Deception." The Gardtf!
giant was the huge atone linage of a
man which Farmer N'ewell of Cardiff.
N. T., claimed to have unearthed while
digging a well In the autumn of 1866.
After It had been sold to a Joint-stock
company formed to exploit the wonder
for show purposes, Barnaul trWl to
buy It for his own museum, but his of
fer was declined. The showman then
had an Imitation made, with the result
that two Cardiff giants were on exhi
bition at the same time, the duplicate
being shown to the public as "the only
and original" Doctor White attributes
the exposure of the fuke to Professor
Marsh of Vale; In another account It
wns Dr. John V. Royntoa of Syracuse.
N. Y.. who laid bare the fraud. The
original Cardiff giant was carved or
chiseled out of a gypsum Wock In a
stoneyard In Chtcago and was trans
ported thence by rail and wagon to
Cardiff. According to Doctor White,
•dentists as well us clergymen were
much Impressed with the colossal fig
ure, Dr. James Hall, state geologist,
Issuing a statement In which he de
scribed the giant as "the most remark
able object brought to light in this
country" and as "deserving the atten
tion of archaeologists."
Making Shrapnel.
New Inventions have been made by
Americans, and American mat-bin*
tools for shell making have been sent
to Europe and are used In the factories
there. The number of sheila of ahrap
nel made in this country Is almost be
yond computation. J.ong before we en
tered the war our different factories
were turning out hundreds of thou
sands of shrapnel a week, and It was
due to this demand for munitions that
enabled us to turn out the bit product
we are now making. Xhi* la so not
only of shrapnel, but of powder and
explosives of all kinds. Before the war
one company was making about 400,
000 pounds of military powders per
annum, another was turning out 800
12-inch shells per day. aud a third
making 000.000 loaded time fuses a
month. The orders of the allies ran
into many hundreds of millions of dol
lars and it is said that almost J2.0O0.
000,000 worth of war supplies were
contracted for by J. I'. Morgan & Co.
aloue.
Tr.gedy of French Trees.
Broken homes, ruined factories,
shattered churches, violated graves, It
had seemed to nie we bad rung all the
changes on the destruction of war.
But there remained one—the tragedy
of the trees. You can rebuild house*,
churches, towns even—for that takes
only money. But you can't rebuild or
chards of fruit trees and avenues of
great shade trees—for that takes time.
We were seeing them everywhere now
—orchards with trees that were but
faded, shriveled bunches of brown
leaves lying on their sides; orchards,
where these had been cleared away,
that showed nothing but whlte-mpped
stumps. They say that, wheu the
warm spring came, some of those or
chard trees, lying on their sides but
not wholly severed, leafed gently and
then—Just before th<y died—bloomed
once again for France.—Inex Haynes
