TEXAS NATURAL WALL.
A Freak of nature That Has Becn r
Subject of Much Speculation.

Freak of Nature That Has Beon tho
Subject of Much Speculation.
There is in tho northern part of
Texas, near tho Bots dare, or East Fork
Of the Trinity, a freak of nature that
has been tho subject of much spocula-
ton ever since its discovery, over forty
years ago. Extending in Il northwest
and southoasterly direction for several
miles is perpendicular seam or wall of
coarse limestone, composed of frar-
ments, irregular in size. yet worry SINH
lar in shape. Tho scam Tor wall, as it
is called) is about two feet in width
everywhere it is seen, and the stones OF
which it is composed arc distributed on
top Of ono another, almost with tho
regularity OF masonry-at least as we'll
as many ancient builders constructed
their walls. 1t is for tho most part
under the earth, but appears in hillsides
and ravincs, whore tho external f0rcos
Of nature have worn away tho soil, lcay-
ing tho natural wall exposed. Old set
tiers say that some sections several
hundred feet in longth appeared as
much as thrco feet in height when thew
first went thorc, and hcnce thew
named their first town Rockwell. which
name isaso borne by the county in which
,hc wall is found. From the fact that
40 other stone WAS found in the immedi-
ate vicinity, these pioneers Unanimous
y agreed that the wall was the work of
some prehistoric people VINO inhabited
5ho country; but as its nero resemblance
10 tho work OF man is all that supports
this theory, it has long since been given
up FOR the scientific explanation of its
origin. Tho presence OF quartz, lava and
othor conglomcratc rocks of igneaus
origin, betrays tho action of volcanic
'orces in its formation. Some mighty
internal convnlsion rent tho carth's sur
TACO and left a long straight iissurc,
which was filled by tho same agency
With fragments of underlying strata of
limestone. In some portions whore tho
wall was sufficiently compact it has
stood alone, while air and water have
worn away the surrounding Garth. Thus
It is found at intervals, keoping one
direction, straight as surveyors
inc for about six miles, uniform in
width, and always composed Of stones
resembling an elongated brick, some
.argcr and othors smaller
Years ago an inquiring wcll.dicror
sunk his spade beside the wall. lie fol-
owed 1T down thirty feet and found
abundant water, but not tho base OF tho
wall. So we may concode the work TO
20 freak OF tho fro gods, who, in some
past ago, remote and dim, pushed nm
The wall from beneath TO serve MS n
nodel Tor future man. st. Louis Globe
