Only a Few Have Been “Giants
in the Land.”
Johann Van Albert. Recent Importa­
tion From Holland, the Tallest
Specimen of Humanity Ever
Seen in Modern Days.
When Johann Van Albert stepped
from the gangplank on a recent ar­
rival of tiie Mauretania he hml the
distinction of being the tallest man
who ever entered the United States.
His 8 f«>et 5 inches of height required
thut n special berth, made up of two
cobs placed end to end in a large com­
panionway, be furnished for the trip
from bls home in Amsterdam, Holland.
Since Johann has left bls quiet home
out among the nearby windmills of
Amsterdam and Intends to enter the
show business over here, It will be in­
teresting to dig up some giant history
and see how he compares with previ­
ous competitors who used to lie great
attractions. Probably no living giant
In tiie United States ever exceeded the
8 feet attained by the late Captain
Bates, who was a native of Kentucky.
Tiie word “living” is used here be­
cause of the fact that for some time
during the year 186!» the famous Car­
diff giant led many people to be­
lieve that a 10-foot man had once lived
In Onondaga County, N. Y. The story
of tliis monstrous fraud perpetrated on
the American public makes such un­
usual and interesting reading that it
will bear repenting.
Tiie idea bad its inception out in
Fort Dodge, la., when an adventurous
fakir purchased a huge block of gyp­
sum from a quarryman of that place.
The block then was shipped to Chi­
cago, it being taken in charge by a
sculptor, who chiseled it into a 10-foot
giant. The surface was pricked with
needles to give It tiie appearance of
pores In tiie human skin, and then
treated with a variety of acids which
made the entire statue appear of
ancient origin. After completion the
giant was securely packed in an iron
box nnd shipped to Union, N. Y.,
where the owner claimed it, loaded the
bulky box upon a large wagon and
hauled it fifty miles to a farm near
Cardiff.' The giant form was then
removed from the box and secretly
burled, remaining under tiie ground
nearly a year, until it was “accidental­
ly” discovered by some workmen who
had been engaged to dig a well by the
promoter of the fraud.
This great discovery was made on
October 10, 1869, and news of the won­
derful petrified giant spread all over
the country. The lucky finders cover­
ed it with a tent nnd put it on exhibi­
tion, while special trains were run
from New York city and other nearby
points so that the clamoring multitudes
could see the astonishing remains at
tiie earliest opportunity.
Until the deception was discovered
tt is estimated that more than 50,-
000 persons Jostled each other tn
order to view the wonder, paying a
dollar apiece for the remarkable priv­
ilege.
But. passing on from this greatest
hoax, It is found that Captain Bates
was the tallest of our modern Ameri­
can giants, although his 8-foot height
was slightly exceeded by thnt of Anna
Swan, a native of Nova Scotia. Going
further back Into giant history we find
that Queen Elizabeth's head porter
was 7 feet 6 Inches high, probably be­
ing given this exalted position on ac­
count of his ability to see what was
going on nt all times.
Among royalty Itself It Is claimed
that one of tiie Roman emperors was
nearly 9 feet high, but the measure­
ments of those days may have allow­
ed him considerable more height than
lie would he entitled to at this time,
though no doubt ho was a person of
