[ E ,]war<i Beaupre, the young Mon
,ari giant who is nine feet tall in his
jlk hat, find that this world is not
ma(ie for his convenience.
He cannot buy anything that will fit
Him nor discover any one with whom
6e ma y associate. He is a wonder.
[ jj c j S a freak of nature of immense
physical proportions, and figures do
not give an adequate idea of what he
jf fur instance, Beaupre stands seven
feet ten and a half inches in his stoek
jng feet and weighs 367 pounds. The
average man wears number 8 or 9
shoes; Beaupre‘es are 22. His neck
is two feet around and his hands, from
the wrist, to the middle-finger tip
measure over twelve inches. Every
piece of his wearing apparel has to
he especially made for him. The cost
0 f these is over twice that paid by
the ordinary man.
Beaupre is only 21 years old, was
bom in Montana, and is of French
parentage. He has had some school
ing, but not to amount to a great
heal. He led the strenuous life of a
cowboy and ranch hand* on one of
the many cattle ranches of the North
west until he began exhibiting him
self. *
From babyhood Beaupre was very
large. At 9 years he was six feet six
inches tall and at 17 had reached the
seven-foot one-inch mark. Last year
he added another inch and a half to
his stature and is confident that he
will go still higher.
The one romantic touch to his freak
ish life is the woonig of Ella Ewing,
the eight-foot giantess of Gorin, Mo.
Although the couple have never met,
friends have been trying for a long
time to make a match .between them.
In a few weks Beaupre will journey
to the home of-the giantess and form
ally present his love case. He thinks
even if they do not love each other at
first they will later, and it will be a
good business proposition for them,
The story of Beaupre’s life and its
trials is best told in his own words.
"My life is not made up of dimes and
nickels. T have my troubles as well as
other people and maybe my troubles
are greater. It isn’t all posing and
looking pleasant ,for the thousands of
curious people that visit me. I am a
prisoner at all times and cannot afford
to wander about the streets and parks,
because every time I do it I am robbed
of jqst so many dollars. People who
see me in the streets are satisfied and
will not pay to look at me. The little
exercise I get is in pacing up and
down the narrow platform In my ex
hibition room and the very early morn
ing strolls. I can assure you it is no
snap to stand for twelve hours at a
stretch and answer the questions of
those who pay to see me.
Nothing Will Fit Him.
"Probably the question most often
asked of me is ‘How does it feel to be
eo large?’ Now, I don’t know how to
answer that, because I have never
been anything else but large. Certain
ly, if I had my way about it I would
be of ordinary size, even if I didn't
make as much money. I never can
M anything to fit and am always run
ning after the carpenter, tailor or hat
ter to make thing# for me. I can’t
keep in the style, because I can’t get
the things prepared for me.
if 1 should tell you my difficulties
with people and things it would take
up the whole paper. But I will tell a
few things. My greatest trouble is
with the street cars. They are not
made for me, and i| is with them I
have had the most difficulty. My pa
tience is sorely taxed. The doors of
the cars are so low that I have to bend
like a jackknife to get through them.
And when I am in, the seats are so low
that my legs spread across the aisle.
Passengers getting on and off stumble
over my feet and there is complaining
on both sides. I can't hold‘on to the
straps, because I touch the roof of the
car with my hat. So, what am I to
do?
"Walk? Well, may be. But I am sure
to attract a crowd and the small boy
Is very annoying.
“I get into a lot of trouble over my
walking. I draw a crowd, the street
is blocked, and the police get after me
for obstructing the sidewalk or dis
turbing the rtce, I have never been
arrested, hut have so nea r it that
there's no fun. Only the oth<,. i
went into a bank, to cas ha check. I
tuok a place in the waiting line, but
long before it came my turn at the
window a large crowd had congregated.
The bank’s business was stopped and
the cashier so aggravated that he or
dered mo out of the bank. We nearly
caine to blows and I threatened to pull
liim o\er the counter.
"I can’t sleep) comfortably when I
am traveling because the berths in the
cars are so small. I have to double up
la such shape that rest is impossible.
I might put my feet out the window, I
suppose, but there would be danger in
that. Some day, if I stay in this show
business long enough, I will have a
car of my own. Then traveling will he
a nleasure.
I have to refuse invitations to din
ner because the tables and chairs are
so small. If I sit down to the ordinary
übi, i ,-an't come within reaching
distance of it because my knees are in
the way. So what can I do but eat
standing up or in my own room. I
night dire off the mantelpiece with
some degree of comfort, but that would
i>- called unconventional. Hacks it is
impossible for me to ride in. I can
barely squeeze myself into them.

EDDYJS GIFTS TO SCIENCE!.
Wonderful Seismographs and Cloiul
Timers,
From the New York Sun.
Although a self-made scientist, Wil
liam Abner Eddy, kite-flyer, of Bay
onne, N. J., has seismographs of his
own make that record tremors which
get by all other siesmographs on earth
without making the slightest impres
sion.
Mr. Eddy was referred to the other
day in an evening newspaper as the
inventor of the siesmograph, a deli
cate instrument for recording earth
quakes and earth tremors.
“That’s not exactly so,’’ said Scien
*it Eddy yesterday'. "The principle
of the sicstnogj-aph was discovered
some years ago in Japan and & good
many instruments have been made and
used, at scientific stations. But the
advantage of my improvements on the
instruments in use elsewhere is that
they will record more different kinds
of tremors than, for instance, the seis
mographs on the Isle of Wight or at
Johns Hopkins University.”
Nobody would dispute Scientist Ed
dy on that point after seeing the
siesmographs in his cellar and in his
front hall. They’ll even record the
rumble of a milkshake in any Bayonne
drug store south of Thirty-third street.
Mr. Eddy’s house is a two-and-a-half
story frame structure in Bergen Point
and no*tremors get by without shak-
Two of these seismographs consist of
long strings that might be used for
either fishing or flying kites, if they
had not been devoted to science, which
hang from the ceiling of the top floor
down through the stair openings to the
ground floor. To the lower end of each
string is tied a boy s spinning top. The
metal spindle of the tops i est lightly on
two pieces of smoked glass. That s the
make-up of the upstairs, or parlor,
seismographs. Whenever the strings
swing or sway the top spindles make
scratches on the smoked glass.
There’s nothing to indicate the exa( t
time at which the scratches are made
but that. Mr. Eddy ihinks, is of minor
importance. He looks at the smoked
glass every time he goes into the house
and if there is a scratch he makes a
memorandum of the fact in a note book
and then calls up the newspapers by
telephone and informs them that there
has been an earthquake in the vicinity
of New York. Some of the papeis al

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. JUNE 22. 100?.
er last winter's fuel supply was put in
tne seismographic records indicated
the annihilation of the whole Atlantic
seaboard.
The cellar seismographs are made of
smoked glass, needles, laths, bicycle
spokes and a piece of gas pipe. They
work on the same principle as the
strings and tops upstairs, only instead
of swinging at the end of long pliant
pendulums the needles are fixed to \he
ends of rigid gas pipe arms and rest
on the glass. The glass and the needle
arm both rest on the same floor, but
Mr. Eddy is confident that the needle
would shake first and make its tell
tale scratch before the quake could get
under the glass and joggle that.
"The only thing that my seismo
graphs can't do yet,” said Mr. Eddy
yesterday, “is to record the exact time
of a tremor but that isn’t essential, for
the daily press is always able to de
termine that from the reports sent in
from different localities. I call up
the newspapers and tell them there
has been an earthquake and the next
morning the papers that are not scep
tical print articles telling the exact
minute at which the tremor was felt.
"My cellar seismographs were amply
verified only the other day. It was on
May 28. I went down stairs and found
a scratch. I called upstairs to find out
who had fooled with the instrument.
My wife said that nobody had. Then I
looked at the second seismograph and
found a scratch there too. Then I knew
that there had been an earthquake. The
third vertical instrument didn’t work
because the needle was rusty and
stuck to the glass and my longitudinal
seismograph was too near the chimney
to get the tremor, hut I knew from the
first two that there had been an earth
quake and I rushed upstairs to send
the information broadcast over the
world. But my wife said that if I had
earthquakes every day folks wouldn’t
believe me, so I let it go that night.
But the very next day I learned that
another scientist, named Flyr.n, in New
York had felt a shock in Warren
street and a neighbor of mine, whose
mother is SO years old and goes to bed
in the afternoon, told me that the old
lady felt the bed shake just as she was
getting in. That proved absolutely the
record of my seismographs. And an
other important point is that there was
no record of that tremor on May 28
made by the seismograph at Johns
Hopkins or by the instruments at the
Weather Bureau.”
The seismographs and kites are only
a small part of Mr. Biddy’s apparatus.
He has a cloud timer just as delicate
as his quake indicators. But Mr. Eddy
very frankly admitted that the credit
of making the cloud timer was not due
to him, but to Anthony Comstock, the
vice hunter.
"The idea is mine, but Mr. Comstock
made the instrument. I was up in
Stamford timing clouds. Mr. Comstock
was there superintending the shingling
of a hen house at his country place. He
saw my cloud timer, and said he would
make a better one, which he did with
a couple of shingle binders. This is
the very instrument which he made.”
When right side up the cloud timer
make by Mr. Comstock looks like a
boy’s V-shaped sling. The other way
up it looks like a Noah’s Ark wooden
lady without clothes. Connecting the
two ends of the forks of the timer
there is an iron wire three Inches
long or an inch and a half to the
middle. The length of the whole thing
is nineteen inches. On one side is a
hook upon which a Waterbury watch,
alarm clock or any other timepiece
may be hung.
“Now,” said Mr. Eddy, demonstrat
ing as he went along, “the butt end
of the thing is placed against the phin,
which is in the same vertical line with
the eyes. The other end is pointed at
the gloud. You keep one eye on the
watch and one on the cloud and see
how long it takes the cloud to go that
inch and a half on the wire. Then
divide the inch and a half by the num
ber of seconds, multiply the quotient
by sixty, multiply product by hight
of cloud, divide the product by nine
teen, the total length of the time and
multiply that by sixty. The result
shows the number of miles the cloud
is going an hour. I doubt If there ls
another timer like this in use any
where in the xvorld.”
Personal equation is not a factor in
this experiment with cloud speed, but
corrections must be made for a re
ceding chin.
As the result of more than twenty
years of investigation of tornadoes
in the East Mr. Eddy has worked
out the theory that the safest place
is to get in the southwest corner of
the cellar and wait till things get calm
up aloft, for tornadoes always
travel from southwest to north
east and all of your house
will blow away from you instead of
onto you. To avoid having a house next
door to the southwest blow on you in
your own .cellar move before the tor
nado comes to the house southwest of
your southwest neighbor.
Mr. Eddy has recently invented the
chromoscope. Naming it, he said, was
the hardest part of the job. He
thought of “scope” himself and a friend
suggested “chromo.” This is made of
a Cigar hox, a piece of paper, a candle
and a small hole ami it proves, Mr.
Eddy says, that there’s something
green on Mars. He thinks the green
is vegetation, but isn’t sure. It might
be pistache ice cream, but its green
according to the records of the chro
moscope. Mr. Eddy has many slips
of paper, each of a different color. He
puts one in the box with a lighted can
dle, looks through a hole at the paper
with one eve and and at Mars or Ve
nus of anything he likes with the other
eye. If he can see both the papers
and Mars or the outside object what
ever it may be, at the same time, that
indicates that the outside object is not
of the same color as the paper, so he
keeps on trying papers of other colors
till he gets one that becomes invisible
when looked at through the hole. That

MIUtIET BIRD WHIPS GIANT.
Condor of the Anile* Retired From
Tiny .Innude Cork,
Fromth e New York Mail and Express.
When the great South American con
dor of the Zoological park, in the
Bronx, was placed awhile ago in the
flying cage, with the crows and mag
pies, herons and jungle fowl, it was
a matter of doubt, notwithstanding his
apparently peaceful and playful dis
l>osition, what would be the fate of the
smaller birds in the cage. C. William
Beebe, who was watching the big fel
low, says it was the unexpected that
happened.
“After rustling and arranging his
great wing feathers, some of them over
two feet in length,” relates Mr. Beebe,
“the condor started on a tour of in
spection. When he approached the cor
ner of teh cage which a tiny jungle
cook had appropriated for the use of
himself and his little brown hen, the
condor was stopped by the midget, who
fluffed up his feathers and planted
himself squarely in the way of the
intruder. Condor made a vicious lunge,
but did not reach the little bird, and
the latter, like lightning, darted on
the back of its huge antagonist, pecked
and struck with spurs and retreated.
“The condor followed, and there re
sulted one of the most ridiculous en
counters, ala David and Goliath,
which can be Imagined. The condor
tried in vain to strike the jungle cock
with his wings or reach him with his
beak. The brave little bird moved like
a flash, now- pecking at the mighty
legs, now at ithe tall, on the back—
everywhere except where the condor
expected to see him.
‘•Finally Goliath retreated in disgust,
and, annoyed by the persistent attacks
of the little warrior, spread his ten feet
of wings and with several great flaps
lifted himself to the top of a nearby
stump. How the little fellow did crow!
The condor never trespassed on his
corner again.
“The condor pays little attention to
the other birds, which treat him with
marked respect, all except the mag
pies. They will snatch a piece of meat
almost from his very beak. One day
he was found executing a kind of war
dance around a prostrated flamingo.
The latter was uttering agonized
grunts, and now and then the condor
would make a harmless dive at the
outspread Wings of thq flamingo, arous
ing still greater terror in the latter.
The great vulture had evidently not
the slightest intention of harming the
other bird, but only looked at it in the
light of anew scarlet plaything, but
tears were running from the eyes of
thA flamingo, which evidently feared Its
last hour had come.
“Like a kitten chasing its tail, the
condor amuses himself for hours by
trying to catch with his beak the tip
of an outstretched wir.g. Slowly mov
ing the wing forward, he draws back
his head and covertly watches it, as if
it were some living object: then sud
denly “hooting out head neck he pur
sues it. Bound and round he goes, the
tantalizing tips of the feathers being
always just out of reach. At times he
gets so dizzy that he tumbles over ori
the ground. Picking himself up with
dignity, he rearranges his plumage and
repeats the iierformance, perhaps with
the wings on the opposite side.
“When the grass is being raked he
delights to pounce suddenly on the
rake and try to sn-atcii it from the
hands of the workman, and he goes
almost wild In his efforts to hold on to
a broom when it Is dragged before him
over the ground.’’

never before been attempted.but which,
passed upon by the same engineers
who said the Ferris Wheel could be
built, even though the American So
ciety of Engineers declared against It,
promises to be equallv feasible and
more novel. The proposal 1? nothing
more than the construction out of steel
of an immense "peg top.” the same old
shape familiar to every youngster in
the land, even to the plug on top, which
every young American thinks he must
cut off before he has a satisfactory
article of top furniture.’
This Immense top is to be some 400
or more feet high. The center is to
be an immense hollow steel shaft, thor
oughly anchored' within which some
twelve elevators are to be run to carry
passengers up and down. Around this
is to be built the top proper, in per
fect similarity to the boyhood's play
thing. The plug at the top, of course,
will be the upper end of the huge core
referred to, and In the extreme of this
plug will he an open observatory, sta
tionary, and commanding a view of the
entire fair grounds and more. Just
below the plug will come the curved
upper section, which, like a huge um
brella, will serve as a roof, protecting
the lower portions. Below this "um
brella” will be built the remainder of
the top in decreasing diameter and
cut in lateral sections into, circular
floors, upon which will be rented con
cession space for various attractions,
such as candy booths, restaurant,
summer garden, with beer accompani
ment, etc. The main floor it is pro
posed to reserve for a concession to an
immense theatrical presentation, some
thing on the order of ”1492,” presented
at the Columbia Exposition with a
wealth of scenic investiture which
made it one of the most profitable of
the individual attractions at the fair.
Probably the most novel feature of
the whole scheme is the fact that it
is proposed to build each floor inde
pendent of the one above and below,
and to arrange for the revolving of
each floor about the huge axis in
which the elevators are to run. Run
ning these floors independently, it is
planned to cause each to revolve in
opposite direction to that next to it.
providing a change of scene for those
on all the floors and bringing the
various parts of the whole exposition
into view in the course of the revolu
tion. The entire top will be built of
steel on the cantilever plan, and will
t>e open to the air on all sides, but it
Will also be arranged to,enclose it dur
ing Inclement weather with Venetian
blinds, so that those who may wish
to patronize the exposition on Us bad
days shall not be deprived of this fea
ture, which It is believed will prove
to be a greater attraction than the
Ferns wheel at Chicago. It is under
stood that the interests behind the
enterprise are such as to put it in the
same class as the Ferris wheel, so far
as support goes.
Among the minor features of the
construction will be the painting of
each lateral section with a contrast
ing colci>find the illumination of each
of these sections with different col
ored light.' by night, presenting some
thing Ir addition to the immensity of
the scheme to attract the eye. On
the observatory it is also proposed to
place features which will add to the
novelty of the attraction by night as
well as by day. The total floor space,
according to the figures, will be about
140,000 square feet, of which 100,000 will
go to sub-concessionaries.
FOUR GRANDCHILDREN AT 86.
Indiana Cripple Thinks He Holds
Hie Record.
From the Louisville Evening Post.
Thomas Coward, a cripple residing In
Olaysburg, a suburb of Jeffersonville,
claims to be the most remarkable
grandfather in either Indiana or Ken
tucky. Coward is 36 years old and has
four grandchildren, the oldest, 4 years
old and the youngest 4 months old.
Coward was married at the age of 15.
He became a father at the of 16
and his daughter, who married when
she was 15 years old, became a mother
at the age of 16. Coward was, there
fore, a grandfather when but 32 years
old.
Coward, when a boy, met with a se
ries of accidents, one of which de
prived him of an arm and at another
time he fell from a tree fracturing a
leg. The fracture was never properly
set and for years he went about on a
peg leg strapped to his knee. About
two years ago he underwent an oper
ation at the-hands of Dr. D. C. Pey
ton. The bones of the leg were rebrok
en and reset. Coward now walks about
without crutches, but limps slightly,
his injured leg having become dwarfed
because of many years of disuse.
