Novelty In Cement Wall.

There is wall of cement in Los An
geles which shores up one side of
building lot that has an artistic value
never intended by the builder He
had moved his bags of cement on to
the ground to be ready for work and
was then called away on some other
Job for a day or two. In the mean
time one of the very infrequent rains
came on, and each sack turned into
stone under the action Of the water,
and the fabric Of the sacks themselves
was absorbed into the cement SO that
1t was impossible to remove it. Conse-
uuently each sack was wrought into
the wall as If it had been bowlder on
the line of an old stone wall. They
were then chinked and bound together
with worked cement, and after time
the weather disposed of the gunny
sacking, but left the blocks marked
with the impress Of the weave. The
result is a highly ornamental cement
wall, resembling at little distance
wall of some woven material.
