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

As the cities Of Pompeii and Her.
culaneum yer discovered by digging
q well, SO the most prehistoric rock
wall in the United States was discov.
cred in 1857 BY . farmer who now
lives in Rockwell. Tex, says the
New Orleans Picayune. But whether
in that portion which IL surrounded by
this wall IL . Pompeii or for what pur-
pose 1t. was built has never been as
c~ertained up to the present.
Here and there portions Of the wall
are exposed ct distances Of several
yards. Even in some places it is Gov
cred up for a mile or two. One day
a farmer, o knowing that the wall
was there, dug 4 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 az
IN entrance into the wall. The bot
tom Of the wall was not reached at .
depth of 30 feet. This has been the
only opening ever found, because the
wall has been exposed. except
last fall, when two young men Of
Rockwell dug about the wall I'VE
feet in width and about the same in
depth. This gave one a good idea Of
the wall. The rocks were 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 were used to
give them their sizes.
On the east side Of the wall the
rock is smooth, while on the west 1t
Is rough. They are all composed Of
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
ers own.
The rocks at the opening found are
from two to six feet long, three feet

was made to bring some Of them to
the surface by the men who dug ths
well, but they found the task too
difficult: On top the rocks are much
smaller, running about 18 inches long,
three inches thick and eight inches
wide. The farmefs- claim that the
wall is about Is miles long, and they
know exactly its course.
There is no doubt that this is the
most prehistoric wall In the United
States, and 30 far az known, the Smith
sonian Institution Of Washington. D. c.,
has never made any effort to ex-
pose the length and width Of the
wall or give any explanation Of it
origin.
