PREHISTORIC WALL OF ROCK.
Remarkable Discovery Of Work Done
by Unknown Race.

As the cities OF Pompeii and Her
culaneum we're discovered by digging
well. so 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 is Pompeii or for what pur
pose It was built has never been as
certained up to the present.
Here and there portions Of the wall
are exposed at distances OF several
yards. Even in some places II is GOV
cred up for mile or two. One day
farmer. not knowing that the vail
was there, dug well along the aide
OF this wall 80 feet deep. Near the
bottom of his well he discover cd an
arched opening, which was two by
three feet. This opening has
been seen by several OF the in
habitants of Rockwell, ane It is be.
lieved this must have beeh used as
an entrance into the wall The bot
tom OF the wall was not leached at a
depth OF 30 feet This as been the
only opening ever found because the
wall has never been exposed, except
last fall, when two yoJng men OF
Rockwell dug about the wall Ave
feet In width and about the same in
depth. This gave one a good Idea OF
the wall. The rocks we're nicely laid
with abridged joints in regular fash
Ion, but the substance between them
was not mortar, but clay. A closer
examination reveals no sign OF any
hard tool used upon the rocks, and
no doubt wooden mallets we're used TO
give them their sizes.
On the east side OF the wall the
rock is smooth. while on the west II

sandstone, with streaks of mica and

surrounding regions no rock can be
found similar to this. except In the
chimneys and wells which the farm.

The rocks at the opening found are
from two to six feet long, three feet

was made to bring some Of them tc
the surface by the men who dug the

MOVING LARGE TREES.
Man with Experience Tells How II
Can Be Done.

! consider nursery grown trees the
best for transplanting because their
roots are more fitted for that purpose,
and apply this to the elm as we'll as
all other trees. However, natural
trees may be readily fitted for trans
planting so as to even make their sue
cess a certainty. but II is only econom.
ical on large trees, say from three
inches to one foot in diameter. For
example, II in our judgment we find It
necessary TO take a ball of dirt about
five feet in diameter and IS to "a
inches in depth, along with q certain
tree In transplanting, we may any
time between leaf dropping in the fall
and starting in the spring dig a
trench around this tree about six
inches smaller all around and I'LL in
again after all the detached roots have
been cut smoothly with knife from
the bottom up and the tops previously
shortened as above. These smoothly
cut roots soon send out mass of root
lets, clinging tightly to the soil that
we had packed into the trench again,
and In the coming transplantlng sea
son between fall and spring we again
dig around this tree, leaving the ball
as in our first judgment, and plant It
only few inches deeper in its new
place. Such trees may safely be
moved during fall and winter when
time is not always as valuable as in
the spring, while small trees should
only be planted in the spring, which
is and will remain the best time for
all planting-Albert Duebendorfer.
