Quick Way of Making Foundation

An interesting mode of obtaining a
foundation for new building is de-
scribed by correspondent in Indian
Engineering: A hole is bored in the
ground (Which was previously damp
from ten to twelve feet deep and an inch
and half wide, and string of car.
tridges was lowered into it. The subse-
quent explosion not only produced a
cavity yard in diameter, but also drove
the water out of the surrounding earth
by means of the expansive action of the
gases. The water did not return to its
former place for fully an hour, so that
an opportunity was afforded to fill up
the cavity with quickly settling concrete,
and rapid rate of working was thus
attained.

aud the Spectator sold out at about 200

from tho province of Astrakhan, in which
huge flocks of curly sheep are kept
wholly for the sake of their skins.
Those of them that the furrier loves die
young-in fifteen minutes of birth. Their
skins come in huge bales to the weird
eastern city that Is the largest entrcpot
on earth for such unsavory merchandise.
For there you get, too, sable, lynx,
otter, the rare blue and silver fox, Sibc-
rian wolf, not to mention dog and goat
skins, for rugs. Both the last two
animals are bred extensively throughout
Mantchooria. Indeed, dog rauching Is a
leading industry. A NIantchoo bellies

fur-bearing animals are plenty enough in
the South, their hair is not close and fine

Re-opening of the Clubs Rooms
Last Night.
A REMEMBRANCE TO MR.. sCHNELL.

The Members Meet and Make Arrange

of the Business MISUNDERSTANDING OF
the History of the Clubs Organization and
its Aims and Objects.
Last evening at its rooms in the Bu-
ford block on Seventeenth street. occurred
the annual re-opening of the Schnell So
cisl and Literary club to members only.
During the heated term each year active
interest in the club is laid aside until cool
weather, when the social season is again
at hand. During the last few weeks the
handsomely appointed rooms have under
gore thorough Ienovstipg, and now
present again bright and CHEEKY ap-
pearance. 1t is the custom of the club,
| which was organized for purely social
| aud literary purposes. to give series OF
entertainments to it's friends each year
which are usually begun in November.
A large attendance of the club menu
hers were present last night and the oc-
cssion wss made especially agreeable by

| for Matthew Schnell who had fathered
the club from its inception AMI in whose
honor the organization was named. L.

half of the members presented Mr..
| Schnell with a handsome gold headed

which he is held and the latter responded

was very appropriate conclusion of re-
| opening OF the rooms which will no doubt
be thrown open TO the clubs friends in a
social entertainment before long.
The Schnell club was organized about
three years ago with but small men,
bership. its aim being to provide place
of amusement for its members
| and to look after their social
and literary advancement. The mem
bership roll gradually grew until it now
contains over 100 names, with as fine
