A story has been going the rounds
of the press that the fossil remains of
giant, eighteen feet high, had been
found in some part of Tennessee
The statement produced all the start
ling effects for which il was so we'll
calcuted, and while some profcssed to
believe, the majority looked upon it
as hoax. a writer in Silliman's
Journal, DR.. Wm. M. Carpenter.
Professor in the Medical College of
Louisiana, has, however, solved the
problem. He has examined the mon.
ster, put up ngeniously to resemble a
gigantic human skeleton, and has as
certained that it is composed entirely
of the bones of a young naastadon, and
pieces of wood-with the exception
of the cranium, which is made out of
"A razv hide, which is much more be-
coming to the animal in his new ca
pacity than his old one would have
been. The writer says:--"The arii.
ticial construction was principally in
the pelvis and head, and take it as
thus built up, with its half human,
half beast like look, and its great
hooked incissive teeth, it certainly
must have conveyed to the ignorant
spectator, most horrible idea of a
hideous, diabolical giant, ofwhich he
no doubt dreamed Tor months. To
one informed in such matters, it really
presents a ludicrous figure" ."-Sai.
