PREHISTORIC WALL o. ROCK.
Remarkable Discovery Of Work Done
BY Unknown Race

As the cities OF Pompsii and Her
eulaneum were discovered by digging
q well, 50 the most prehistoric rock
wall In the United States was discov
cred In 1857 by a farmer who now
lives in Rockwell, Tex. says the
New Orleans Picayune But whether
in that portion which is surrounded By
this wall Ii Pompeii or for what pur-
pose 1t was built has never been as
esrtained up to the present
Here and there portions Of the wall
are exposed at distances Of several
yards. Even In some places It is GOV.
cred up for q mile or two. One day
a farmer. not knowing that the wall
was there, dug well along the side
Of this wall 30 feet deep. Near the
bottom OF his well he discovered an
arched opening. which was two by
three feet. This opening has
been seen by several Of the In
habitants OF Rockwell, and It Is be,
lieVed this must have been used as
an entrance into the wall. The bot
tom Of the wall was not reached at q
depth OF 80 feet This has been the
only opening ever found. because the
wall has never been exposed, except
last fall. when two young men o.
Rockwell dug about the wall i've
feet In width and about the same II
depth. This gave one a good idea O
the wall The rocks were nicely lait
with abridged joints in regular fash
ion. but the substance between then
was not mortar, but clay. A close
examination reveals no sign Of an.
hard tool used upon the rocks, AM
no doubt wooden mallets were used t
give them their sizes.
On the east side Of the wall tn
rock is smooth, while on the west
is rough. They are all composed G
sandstone, with streaks Of mica an
: pebbles OF iron. 1t is said that in tn
surrounding regions no rock can b
found similar TO this, except in tn
chimneys and wells which the farm
; ers own.
The rocks at the opening found al
from two to six feet long, three fe,
wide and two feet THO An effo
was made to bring ONE Of them
the surface by the men whe dug Il
!, well. but they found the task t.
o difficult. On top the rocks are muc
1 smaller. running about 10 inches lon
= three inches thick and eight inch,
u wide The farmers claim that Il
e wall ia about 1s miles long, and tbs
y know exactly its course.
= There Ia no doubt that this is Il
= most prehistoric wall In the Unit
. States, and SO far as known, the Smit
sonian institution Of Washington, D.
r has never made any effort to {
y pose the length and width Of t
ie wall or give any explanation Of
N origin.

Though the prime purpose Of pic |
