TIE GREAT Wall OF CHINA.
Proposal to Tear II Down for the Building
Stone IL Contains.

Four or hve companies. European and Amer
ican. are said to DO interested in tho proposed
tearing down OF the Great Wall of China. The
wall happens to be in the best state OF repair
in districts that are most accessible and popu-
lous. and It Is believed that building stone from
the wall will be worth fortunes to those who
may secure the concession to tear IL down.
There are supposed to be fully 1000 million
cubic feet Of masonry in the great structure.
which has q total length Of about 1000 miles,
including it's many winnings and the dounls
and triple lines OF wall that are constructed al
some places.
In the end the wall was failure. for 1t could
not keep out OF China tho hosts o. Genghis
Khan. who swept over It and conquered the
country In the thirteenth century. After that
time tho wall ceased to have any strategic inn
portance, but for fourteen centuries before the
great oonqueror lived the wall had well served
its purpose. 1t stretched all along the north
ern frontier OF China and none OF the hordes
OF the north had been nblo to pass il. Day and
night for centuries Chinese guards were
mounted on the towers that ovcrtopped the
wall. and they always gave timely notice Of the
approach Of an enemy. Garrisons were sta
toned at every gate and natural passage
through the walls. and towns sprnng up
these encampments, many of which became
important market places. Thus the wall really
helped China to develop into a strong nation.
for during the process the great barrier was OF
much assistance in keeping outside barba-
rians from molesting the country
Time has left it's marks upon this hoary NOM
ument Of Chnas early civilization. The cli-
mate Is severe, and the fierce winter blasts
from the Monaghan plains alternating with
! hot winds from tho south in the change OF the
monsoon are enough to crumhc the best Of
masonry good deal of tho earliest wall
has undoubtedly disappeared. and from cen-
fury to century much Of the structure was re-
paired or entirely rebuilt. In the course Of
this work the lines OF the wall for long stretches
were wholly changed and the work OF differ
ent generations is apparent in the various
architectural aspects OF tho structure. The
eastern part Of the wall, north of Pekin. is sup
posed to have boon the latest to be repaired
and rebuilt, and 1t is now in very good state
! OF preservation. while for stretches further
west 1t has disappeared entirely.
The Chinese are much given to walls. Tho
word for city in the Chinese language means a
walled town, and tho law OF the empire re-
quircs that every city he surrounded hY u wall
OF specified height. This law, however. is not
strictly observed, and the walls around many
/ cities have been allowed to crunlbe and afford
no protection whatever. 1t happens some-
times that city fears an attack. and then
there il great hustle n the walls. for large
force Of mon is put at work repairing them.

POEMS WORTH READING.
The wall of tho Sea Serpent.

weep and weep and weep in vain.
weep all day on the brny main.
And all night long where tho sand birds keep
Their vigils. weep and weep and weep.
weep a. ait on my billowy throne.
/ weep az wander. lorn and lone.
Through tho coral caves whore the mermAids roam
And all but me have the comforts of home.
l weep "a float on the placid sea,
weep where the sweet anemune
IL swayed 10y the green waves soft caress;
weep and curl my tail in distress.
weep 40 watch the bathing bellies
or the high and the low priced shore hotels.
As they scream at the surf and dig their toes
In the sands and yell for their gallant JsauN.
weep and weep and weep In vain,
weep from Florida up to Maine,
weep whom move, weep when halt.
Till my tears have made the ocean salt.
I weep because there's but one of mo
In the wide expanse of tho summer sea.
And being but one It's impossible to
Combine in u trust a other folks 10.
