After removing the staple, he walked into
the cellar, took his supply and kindly re
turned the brace and bit to their proper
place. The bit contained some of the chips
and white-wash from thedoor, which gave
anffieient evidence that the bit had been

The nse of hollow spars for boats de

duced a new and novel industry requir
ing workmanship of the finest charac

quired to lie of exceptionally fine and
straight grain, and after being roughly
shaped is split longitudinally from end

is then hollowed out, and a greater or
less amount is removed, according to
the intended location of the spar, the
upper spars being much the lighter.
These hollows run nearly the length of
the spar, great care being essential to
have thera follow the taper of the out

halves of the spar replaced in their

As to Giants.
There has been no su
l,Wt rnncfirnin
inject concerning
which more lies have been told than
about giants. Until it was found that
modern men could not be squeezed into
the armor at the Tower, it was taken
for granted that we had degenerated in
size. This is not only not the case,
but in the matter of giants we have the
advantage of our predecessors. The Em
peror Maziminian indeed was said to .
have been Vt feet high, but ancient
mensuration, especially in the case of
an emperor, is not to be trusted; in
deed, from its not having made him
taller, it is certain that there was no
one else nearly so tall. Orestes, It is
true, we are told, was 10 feet long aft
er death, but he wag not thought so
highly of when alive; we may reasona
bly take 8 feet as his ultimatum. Lon
