A Prehistoric Reservoir.

"I've seen good many curious things
in my travels" said commercial trav-
eler, "but the Walled lake of Iowa rather
lays over everything l ever saw. Just
imagine body of water, covering nearly
5000 acres, with wall built up all
around it, not a stone of which can be
less than 100 pounds in weight, and some
as heavy as three tons, and yet there's not
a single stone to be found within ten
miles of the lake. The wall is ten feet
high, about fifteen feet wide at the bot
tom, and may be five OH top. The coun-
try is prairie land for miles around, except
belt of heavy timber that encircles the
lake. This timber is oak, and it is plain
the trees were planted there. They are
very large. The belt is probably half a
mile wide. The water in the lake is
probably twenty feet deep, as cold as
ice and as clear as crystal.
"What would like to know is, who
built that walll And how did they hold
the water back while they were building
itl And how did they cart those i'm
mense stones for ten miles2 If ever you
go to Iowa, don't fail to visit the Walled
lake You'll find it in Wright county,
40 miles from Dubuque. The cars viii
take you almost to it"
