Curd I IT, where tho giant wns found, I hi Onondaga County, New York Wiile, it few miles from HyrnctiMe. Near by I n depression In Hie earth known iih Oiinuditgn Hollow. In tld hollow nro lo be found pelrllled fish nml rep tllcn. (,'eologlslH sny thl hollow once formed tliu bed of mi ocean. It wn here, on the Newell farm Hint (lie giant wn ostensibly illcoV ered on Oct. Ill, 18S!, while William Newell, nicknamed "Ktnb" Newell, nnd hi men weru digging n well. To nt lest the authenticity of tho find nt tho time, Newell, Uldeou Kminon, Henry Nichols, John Parker nnd Hmltb A. Woodman solemnly mnde nlllduvlt to the elrciinislaiices In onlcr to be nblu to meet nny iKisslblo charge of fraud, The new of the ilUcovcry of the giant spread ncros (he country In nn Incredibly short time, nnd hood vchl cle of nil sort were bended for the pit, londed with people curious to look upon the face of thl wonder, tills pre' historic glnnt. With nduilmble promp tllude, Newell erected n tent over the pit nnd charged an admission fee of M cents. In Hit way bo made over $7, 000 In n few weeks. He sold n three quarter Interest to some Syracuse men, ono of whom wns Dr. Wextcott, father of the nuthor of "Dnvld llariim." It Is wild Hint Newell got f'M.OiH) for this three-ipiniier Interest. II wn not long before tho glnnt 1m gau lo attract the attention of eminent scientific men. Ono of the first to view the glnnt wns Prof. Ilnll, tho New York Htnto geologist, who pro claimed It to bo the petrified body or a man. The newspaper nml mngn Izlne of the country went Into n lenrn 'ill discussion of the subject. Heated argument liotwcen scientists were publlsheil, some declaring Hint the 'glnnt wn n petrlfncllon, others deny ing this, hut nsserllng It to be nn I in age of grent antiquity. Among those who held to the latter theory were n committee from the (.eologlenl Society, of Itoston, composed of Oliver Wen dell Holmes, Prof. Jnckson and others, .fudge linger gave the delightful tea llmouln! already quoted. Powers, the sculptor, whose stntne, Tho Greek Slave, I known nil over the world, declared that no chisel could have carved such n man. ruiiillten fjnnrroled Over It. It I said that In central New York fnmllles were virtually disrupted by the nggresMlvenes of tho discussion over tho genuineness of tho glnnt. It I doubtless true Hint tho four or five men who became the owners nnd ex IdbltnrH of tho glnnt were as badly de ceived as the public, the originator of the humbug having In that way made n master stroke. One of these wns Dr. Amos Wosteott, the father of tho author of "David Hnrum." Dr. West- coll wns n gentleman of the highest respectability In Syracuse, nnd when the glnnt was llunlly shown to have been n fraud, bis health gave way nnd he died shortly after. It Is snld, of n tiroken heart. Ho felt the world would never believe him Innocent of an Intention lo hoodwink It. At the time the glnnt nourished P. T. Itanium had a museum In New York, nnd bo recognized the worth of he glnnt for his show. He offered .10.000 for It for three months. This iffcr wns rejected, but Itanium wns not lo be defeated thus easily. There was a chemist In Syracuse mimed Otto, who knew something about mod eling. Itanium commissioned him to make n plaster glnnt as near like the original ns possible. Otto produced n duplicate glnnt, mnde of plnstcr on n wlro inndel nnd weighted with Iron to Ive the weight of the original. This Imitation Itanium exhibited In his mu seum, nnd ninny who saw It wonder ed how such n composition could de- elvo tho leurned men oven for n mo nent. Meanwhile the original glnnt' wns shown In different cities, causing no end of wonderment. On ono day In Syracuse -1,000 people paid 50 cents apiece to see It, The Mayor nnd nil tho public otllclnls of Rochester made an olllclal Journey to Syracuse (o see It. Trains on llio Now lork Central rond stopped ten minutes nt Syracuse to nfford passengers nn opportunity to run ncross the street nml see It. Kven tuully tho fraud wns discovered nnd then Hull made a confession Hint he wnB tho originator of tho gigantic "fuke." Tho Iden of tho Cnrdlft (Hunt Hull got from nn argument he had with n Methodist minister, In which the min ister claimed tho earth was nt one tlmo peopled with giants, ns tho lllblo says. Ills resourceful mind grasped the Idea of n great nnd grand sell, nnd ho nt onco set to work to materialize it. After n long search for tho proper hind of n stone ho nt Inst found one to nn swer bis purpose nt Kort Dodge, lawn, hi n gypsum bed. After ninny dllllcul ties In transporting tho very heavy stono over forty-flvo miles nml ncross tho Des Moines river to n rnllrond, ho llunlly succeeded In having it secretly housed In nn out-of-tho-wny placo In Chicago. IIo then secured O.

From thero It was taken by wagon In the night to Cardiff, nenr Syracuse, where "fittib" Newell, ii cousin of Hull, had n farm. They hnd fixed It lip between tliein to bury II, which they did, and planted n crop of grain over Hie spot. Tho next year Newell hnd some neighbors dig n well on the spot, nnd they discov ered the glnnt. Then tho fun com menced. NEWSPAPER OnbWTH. Miirveloua Development of the Ameri can 1'rra. Weed, Hennett, (Ireeley, Prentice nnd Itnyinoiid the grand "we" of tho old school were In n suuill company when they virtually ruled public opin ion, say the Ht. Inils Itepublle. There wero only 2TI dnlly papers In exist ence In 1850. To-dny there lire 2,22(1. In 1KV) the combined circulation of the papers was 758,151, while In 1IHX) tho circulation of the 2.220 wns 15. 102,150. The aggregate number of copies Issued during the year 1850 wns 12(1, 100,1)78, while In 100U It wns 8, KWJ 18,7-11). It must be admitted that this growth In circulation has follow ed u change In tho so-called mission of the newspajier. A hnlf century ngo no statesman felt secure unless he had tho editorial support of the papers. The prjtss did not then, ns now, ex press and lend public opinion, but form ed It. To-dny the highest calling of the newspaper Is to truthfully furnish the news. No dnlly enn make editorial cxpreslon the lending fenlure nnd sur vive. Itnllroad, telegraph and cable have mnde communication so easy that the desire of the people for tho latest news has mnde tnc circulation of the better pnpers Incrense by leaps nnd bounds. With the betterment of transporta tion facilities the weekly press has failed lo keep pace with the dnlly. From 1880 to 181)0 the Incrense In the dnlly wns 25.0 ier cent; from 1800 to 11100 It wns 30.2 per cent; while the In crense In weekly circulation dropped from 2(1.7 per cent between 1880 nnd 1800 to H.7 per cent In the last de ende. Thero wns $102,113,708 Invested In newspapers nnd periodicals In 1000. They hnd 27,570 salaried employes, who received 27,01C,701, and 1)1,001 wage enrners, who receive $50,333,051.

Iloer I'rtsnncr I'lared n Clever Joke nn Their Ilrltlsh Ounrtlt. When the C.000 Hoes prisoners were confined on the Islands of the Great Sound, Ilermuda, there was a constant rivalry lietween the wits of the burgh ers nnd those of their guards every whit ns keen ns Hint displayed by tho contending generals on the far-off Afri can bnttlc-tlclds. Now It was a "take off' on the Tommies, now n laugh on the hirsute burghers, and things had about split even until the eventful night when not only the whole Kngllsh enmp but the Kngllsh licet as well fell victims to the plotting lloers. A Itrllsh sentry was stntloned on n promontory overlooking the sound, when something suspicious caught his eye on the calm surface of the water between himself nnd n battleship ly ing nt anchor, ruit wishing to nrousc the whole camp on n false alarm, he watched the object for some minutes. Suddenly Ids heart Jumped Into his mouth. The object wns not only mov ing slowly through the wnler, but It hnd taken the shape of n man ou a raft. Was It n prisoner escaping? Guard turn out I Sound the alarm! Searchlight! Searchlight!" he shouted. The Kngllsh camp wns nstlr In n moment The alarm was sounded and the n ruled Ilrltons came flocking from every quarter. Signals were mnde to the battleship, nml In n few moments she wns n scene of commotion. Her grent searchlight was turned on the ocean nnd lighted up the promontory with the brightness of noonday. Ilonts tilled with nrmed soldiers shot out nf- ter the escaping ltoer. Then the search light fell upon the raft, ns It did so n ronr from fi.OOO lloers told the Ilrltlsh Hint they luul been Inken In ns Ilrlt lsh soldiers hnd never been taken In before. The supposed prisoner escaping, says the Detroit News-Tribune, was a dum my dressed up In burgher's clothes and tied to a raft Did l'olce Hot) OH Wells? Speaking of the decrease or almost total disappearance of the gas pres sure which was so long one of the great peculiarities of the ISeaumout Held, there Is n novel theory advanced. Some men who study such things say that Just about the time of the erup tion of Mont Pelee and the destruc tion of St. Plerro tho gas pressure be gan to lessen nnd In a short whllo al most entirely dlsnpepnrcd. The theory Is that the gas which was under tho ground nt Beaumont ex- tended laterally under tho earth all tho wny down through tho Cnrlbbean Sen 1 nnd when It accumulated In lnrge quantities under Mont I'eleo tho ex plosion came and tho supply was ex hausted there. In support of this won derful theory attention Is called to the fact Hint the famous oil pool In tho Gulf of Mexico, south of llenumont' many miles, nnd which hns been the wonder of mnrlncrs for yenrs nnd yenrs. Is on a direct lino between Iteau mont nnd Mont Pelee, So the peoplo who deal In syncllncs nnd monoclines and anticlines, says tho New Orleans Picayune, find comfort In believing Hint tho eruption of the volcano Is what lias caused all tho damage at llenumont.

When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the Internal organs on which It acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy Itself free frortt every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of Its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and Its beneficial effects, Is Syrup of Figs and for the same reason It Is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs Is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, Irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern Imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance In the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and jniccs, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Please to remember, the full name of the Company CALIFORNIA FIG SYR.UP CO.- is printed on the front of every pack age.
