The Chinese Wall,

has been engaged lately making survey
1or Chinese railway, during which he
TOOK measurements in many places of the
great wall OF China. He gives the highth
at 10 feet, and the width, on top. Is.
me foundation of this immense wall is
solld granite. The wall goes for 1 800
mile over mountains, chasms and valleys.
1t was built to keep out the Tartars. Mr..
onthank brought back with him brick
from this wall, which is supposed to have
oeen made 200 years before Christ. In
some places the wall is built smooth up
against The canyons or precipices, where
mere Is sheer descent of 1000 feet.
small stereams are arched over but in the
larger streams the wall is built to the
waters edge, and tower is built on each
slae. 10 calculate the time of building
or cost OF this wall is beyond human
skill. On the top of the wall are breast
" Tor defences, facing in and out So
that the defending force can pass from
one tower to the other without being ex-
posed to any enemy from either side.
80 lar as the magnitude of the wall is
concerned, it surpasses everything in
ancient or modern times, of which there
is any trace. 1t is said that the Pyra-
mlas OF Egypt are nothing compared to it.

Croquet.

The latest English authority has these
new rules for croquet playing, and they
Will commend themselves to those of our
readers who are fond OF this amusement:
l. Each ball, at the commencement
OF the game, when placed at the starting
spot. and struck, is at once in play,
whether it runs the first hoop or not.
The ball must be left where it ceases to
roll, and it can be played upon by any
succeeding players, and, when its
turn comes, can play upon any other
ball which has started, without refer
ence to the passage of the first hoop.
But this hoop must afterwards be run,
and, of course must be the first one run.
2. flight croquet," in which the
striker places his foot upon the ball, is
abolished.
3. In the stake off," sometimes call
ed 8 taking two turns off," both balls
must move. The ball off which the
stroke is made needs only to be shaken
to be considered moved, but if motion is
not communicated to it the stroke is
foul" and the striker loses the remain
der of his turn.
4. When the players are of very un-
equal skill. a '.bisque," or ''bisques, .
are given to the weaker side. A ''bisque,n
is an extra turn taken at the end of a
turn in any part OF the game, at the dis
erection of the player.
5. A "rover can be pegged out by
an adversary only when the latter is also
"rover."
