Just a Natural Wall,

Respecting the ''mysterious wall"
down in Copiah the Crystal Springs
Meteor says:
IAN expert geologist employed
by the Illinois Central railroad has
made an examination OF the so
called 'Brandywine Wall and dis
covers it to be a natural ledge OF
soft limestone, thus dispelling hal
lucination of long standing, When
quarried the stone is soft, but har-
dens on exposure. Tests will be
made of its structural strength and
if satisfactory it will be extensively
used in New Orleans for building
and macadamizing purposes The
railroad will build a spur 70 tn,
quarries if the stone is found to b.
valuable. "

standing the fact that the new coun
