GIANT PREHISTORIC MEN:

Skeleton of Indiaus Discovered Over Seven reet in Height,

(Baltimore American.)

There has just been received at the Maryland Acaderny of Science the skeleton of an Indian 7 feet tall. It was discovered near Antietam ten days ago. There are now skeletons of three powerful Indians at the academy, who atone time in their wilduess roamed over the State of Mary- land armed with such instruments as nature gave them, or that their limited skill taught them to make. Two of these skelewons belonged to individuals evident- ly of gigantic wize. The vertebrae and bones of the legs are nearly as thick as those of a horse, and the length of the long bones exceptional. ‘Ihe ekulls are of fine proportions, ample, and with walls of moderate thickness, but of great strength, and stiffened benind by a powerful occipi- tal ridge. The curves of the forehead are moderate and not retreating, suggesting intelligence, and connected with jaws ot moderate development.

The locality from which these skeletons came is in Frederick ceunty, near Antietam creek.It was formerly supposed to have been the battle-ground of two tribes of Indians, the Catawbas aod the Delewares. Tradition hus hand- ed down the statement that between the years 1730 and 1746,the Catawbas over- took a baad of Delewares at the mouth of tLe Antietam, and in the battle that ensued the Selewares were completely annihilated. So the tradition goes, but according to Dr. Philip R. Uhler, president of Maryland Academy of Tciences and provost of the Peabo.y institute, a careful examination of this locality has failed to establish evi- dences of a battle at this point, although pumeros spear and arrow heads have been taken trom the soil there.

It is of great interest, however, to notice that the locality was, at an earlier date— before the coming of the white man—oc- cupied as a village site by Indians of great stature, some Of them 6) to7 feet in height The bores of these were buried like those of prehistoric tribes in other parts of the State. The manner of burial was like thie: The flesh was cleaned from the bones, eome of which were then charred. The smail bones of the face and neck were packed in the cavity of the skull, and « round hole about two and one-half feet wide was dug in the ground, in which the skeleton was buried and carefully packed with clay. In the grave was also placed pottery, a tomaiawk, and the other weapons belonging to the Indians. No stone marked the grave, and no beads or wampum were buried with the skeleton. But over all, the earth was heaped up into a small obleng mound, along which other similar mounds extended for many feet. The overflow of a neighboring river at this point had almost destroyed the burial area,

80 tbat only three of these elevations were recognizable at the time of excavation.
