(Klu-Kluxed is a Greek word, and means petrified
or dried up.) The only objection to his theory is, Uncle Ned's
shin bone curved backward, this man's curves forward.
CUT OF THE GIANT.
We herewith present a wood cut of the Giant. We have waited for
an engraving from a photograph, in order to insure in every part
of the pamphlet the utmost accuracy. The taking the photographs
having been delayed, we present a sketch until their completion.
The owners of the Giant furnish this publication alone with
photographic copies--which will appear promptly on completion.

A MITE IN THE SCALE.
To the Editor of the Syracuse Journal:--
Clark's "History of Onondaga," Vol. 1, page 43, near the bottom,
says:--"The Quis-quis, or great hog, was another monster which
gave the Onondagas great trouble, as did also the great bear, the
horned water-serpent, the stone giants, and many other equally
fabulous inventions, bordering so closely upon the truly marvelous,
that the truth would suffer wrongfully if related in full; but
nevertheless are found among the wild and unseemly traditions of
the race." H.
LETTER FROM PROF. WARD.
The following letter from Prof. Henry A. Ward appears in the
Rochester Democrat, and will be found to be well worthy of perusal.
Prof. Ward takes high rank among the scientific men of the country,
and an opinion from him is certainly entitled to respectful
consideration:--
EDITOR DEMOCRAT--I have just returned from a hasty visit to the
colossal statue, or "Fossil Giant," as many have called it, which
is now causing so great an excitement in our sister city, Syracuse,
and in all the country for many score of miles around.
