UTAH Scenes and Persons in the Current News Jib u k s l 1; ij ) Simple Explanation of Origin of Giant Myths :. - A recent dispatch from India reporting that native! hare found bones of a giant'a skeleton no less than 81 feet high has torn op all records of this particular myth. Not r, even the Imaginative Doctor who fabricated In JC13 the circumstantial tale of a brick tomb not only containing his giant, bnt provided with gigantic equally swords and other weapons, and even labeled with the same and titles which the giant had borne, dared to make his imagined relic more than 26 feet tall The famous Giant of Lucerne, who involved scores of Swiss and German scientists In acrimonious controversies from 1577 until after 1000, was credited with only t9 feet England's Giant of Thorne-wain Cumberland, said to have been found In armor which has conveniently disappeared, measured but U feet, by contemporary accounts. No doubt the new marvel of Calcutta belongs w'th these others among the long list of confusions between human bones and those of fossil animals, mostly elephants. A few thousand years ago several types of elephants, such as the mammoths and mastodons, were much more numerous and widespread than any kind of elephant is today. Being comparatively recent In geologic history, their bones He close to the ground and frequently are found by diggers or plowed up by farmers, something which is not true of bones of still larger animals of earlier ages, such as the gigantic dinosaurs. Some elephants' leg bones look superficially not unlike human bones. It is small wonder that they and human giants have been confused, although even in 1620 the famous William Harvey remarked of the supposed Giant of Gloucester that his bones evidently belonged In reality to "some exceedingly great beast, such as an elephant." There is less excuse for Doctor Mazurler's manufacture out of whole cloth of the brick tomb, weapons and inscriptions which he said he found with the previous holder of the giant record. To students of folklore these misconceptions about elephant bones supply one possible explanation of the virtually worldwide belief that giants once existed, but not the only y, National Guardsmen in Tacoma, Wash., dispersing with gas bombs strike pickets who were intercepting worke plumber mills where the union men are on strike. 2 Some of the 35,000 Puerto Iticans who demonstrated before tl apltol in San Juan demanding legislation for the permanent reconstruction of the island government 3 Mickey Ladu Melvin Purvis as head of the Justice department's Invest: ion of a former United States senator, who has succeeded pUon forces In Chicago. 1 Ball d Aids Rainy Day Grid Contests Finds Strange Animal in Alaska fumbles on the battlefields of football when the rain tomes down In torrents if this ball i adopted, say Its Inventors.
