Abyssinians Seven Feet Tall
In a paper read before the British
Association Captain Welby described
a journey in King Menelek’'s domin-
jons. He stated that in the Abyssin-
jana there lay a mint of pluck, energy
and intelligence which was merely
walting for development. He noticed
that those tribes who relied for food
solely on milk and meat were of finer
physique than those favored with ce
reals as well, while others dependent
solely on flab and herbs were, as a
rule, miserable individuals, He came
across one tribe who held the notion
that whenever there was thunder a
white man was born, and hence it was
thought that be must be able to bring
ralg with him. The captain exhibited
photos of Abyssinian giants over seven
feet In height.
