Constructed in 241 B. C. to keep out the barbaric invaders from the nortih, it is again, in fact, the northern limit of Chinese domination. While* offering no great engineering difficulties, the Great Wall is the moat ambitious project ever attempted, and is said to be the only man-made structure that would Ik? visible from Mara, should that planet^ supposed inhabitants have telescopes equal to ours. The wall winds in a general westerly direction for 1,500 miles, starting at Shanhaiwan on the Gulf of Liaotung, and ending between Kan Chow and Suchow in the semi-desert regions of Kan i>u province, near the Mongolian border. <> A formidable barrier against thj., primitively armed Tarter invaders tdr centuries, it is of little avail against modern armies equipped with artillery ami airplanes, except that it limits the movement of troops to the passes, or to breaches made in the wall. Considering the fact that no serious efforts have been made to keep the wall in repair for hundreds of years, it is in a remarkable state of preservation. It is constructed of brick or granite, and is filled with earth and rubble to within a few feet of the top. This filling is tamped down to form a roadway, flanked by loop-holed parapets. Every few hundred yards watch-towers are built into the wall. The project was not a single undertaking, hut was built in local units and connected up over a l<>ng period of years: It varies from 20 to 50 1 feet high, with an average height of ! 22 feet. It i- from 15 to 20 feet wide or. top and widens at the base in pro- I portion to the height. 1 The great wall did not prevent in-J va -ions from the Tartars and Mongols . who came around it. while the Man-j chus made their invasion where the 1 .Japanese are now driving, remaining to rule all of China from 1644 to 1911. Francesco Agello, Italian flyer, on Monday set a world's record for seaplanes, using the "Red Bullet and attaining an average speed of 426.5 miles per' hour over a measured course. The maximum speed attained was 432.83 miles per hour. The best previous record was 408.8 miles per hour, set by an English flyer in 1920, The "Red Bullet" was powered by twin engines in tandem, and developing a maximum of 2,800 horsepower.
