CANADA'S RACE OF GIANTS

Bones of a human giant have been discovered at Eliensburg, North-West Canada. The size' of the thigh and other bones indicated a man at least eight feet high, and from his massive structure he "must have weighed over 20 stone. The skull is most remarkable, the Express says, its massive size and enormous brain space marking it out from other prehistoric skulls. "While the forehead slopes down somewhat," Mr L. Y. Sharp, chief of the survey department, says, "the width between the ears and the deep, wellrounded space at the back of the head are convincing testimony of high intelligence for a primitive man. The head has no resemblance to the Indian skuiJ, and I am convinced that this skull is of a prehistoric race of people who inhabited this part of America some time prior to the Indian control."
