The CHINA WALL. The great Wall
of China was measured inmany places
BY Mr.. Unthank, an American cngi-
neer, lately engaged on survey for a
Chinese railway. His measurements
give the height at eighteen feet, and
a.width on top of fifteen feet: Every
few hundred yards there isa tower
twenty-four feet square, and from
twenty to forty-fve feet high. The
foundation Of the waIl is of solid gran
tie. Mr.. Unthank brought a brick
ffom the WALL which is supposed to
have been made 200 years before the
fine of Christ. In building this i'm
mense stone fence to keep out the tar
tars, the builders never attempted to
avoid mountains or ohasms to save ex-
pense. For 1900 miles. the wall goes
over plain and mountain, and every
foot Of the foundation is in solid gran
tie, and the rest of the structure solid
masonry, In some places the wall is
built smooth up against the bank, or
canyons, or precipices, where there is
sheer descent of 1000 feet. Small
streams are arehed over, but in the
larger streams the wal. runs to the
waters edge, and tower is built on
each side. On the top of the wall
there are breastworks, or deiences,
facing in and out, so the defending
6ree can pass from one tower to an
ether without being exposed to the
enemy on either side. To calculate
the time of building or cost of this
wall is beyond human skill. So far
as the magnitude of this work is con
eerned, It surpasses anything in an
silent or modern times of which there
is any trace, The pyramids of Egypt
are nothing compared to it London
