The Great Wall Of China.

The great wall OF China was meas
ured In many places by Mr. Untbank.
an American engineer. lately engaged in
a survey for Chinese railway. His
measurements give n hight OF Is feet
and q width on the top Of 10 feet.
Every few hundred yards there Is a
tower - feet square and from 20 to 70
feet high. The foundation OF the wall
is OF solid granite. Mr.. Untbank
brought with him brick from the wall,
which Is supposed to have been made
200 years before the time Of Christ. In
building this immense stone fence to
keep out the Tartars, the builders never
attempted TO avoid mountains or chasnas
TO save expense. For l.3OO miles the
wall goes over plain and mountain, nnl
every foot Of the foundation is in solid
granite. 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 arched over. but on the
larger streams the wall runs to the edge
Of the water and q tower Is built ON
each side. On the top Of the wall there
are breastworks. or defences, facing In
and out. 40 the defending forces can
pass from ono tower TO another without
bsing exposed to an enemy from either
side. To calculate the time OF building
or cost OF this wall Is beyond human
skill. So far a. the magnitude OF the
work Is concerned. IL surpasses every
thing In ancient or modern times OF
which there is any trace. hepyramids
Of Egypt are nothing compared to It.
