O'Connor, who is at present in {South Africa, is said to be the big- gest man on earth. Certainly he is the tallest British subject. A - veritable modern Hercules, O'- Connor is almost 8 ft. high, and a {person 6 ft. 6 in. high can walk be- 'neath his arms when outstretched 'horizontally. He has a chest meas- urement of 55. in., and weighs 357 1bs., while the ring which adorns the index finger of the giant's right hand is so large that a florin can pass easily through it.
