1t is the capital city OF Mongolia. and con-
sidered impregnab1e until our guns tore
down its walls and Notifications 1t was a
hard battle and several hundred of our
men were killed, but the slaughter of the
natives was terrible. Capturing the city by
assault we found it fairly teemfng with
soldiers and citizens. Rapid-fire guns made
quick work of the mobs, and the city for
three days and nights was scene of glori-
Gus carnage. That it was not destroyed by
fire is regarded as miracle indeed, as an
Indication from heaven that the work was
well done?
To listen to such sacrilege was trying;
but Belenberg was man of information,
and the facts came at first hand.
In answer to my question as to how a
peStllence was averted with such a slaugh-
ter and ruin the lieutenant said that large
numbers of the dead were burned In piles
outside the town, while other hundreds of
bodies were thrown into the Orkhon river,
whence they hoated into Lake Baikal in
Siberian territory.

style In architecture, will have a frontage
of about forty-three feet.
A Spacious Home.
One of the notable additions to the at
tractive residences of the city will be the
house which DR.. c. r. Sheppard proposes
to build on the hat-iron-shaped lot lying
between Massachusetts avenue and .
street, with the small end binding on 21st
street. The ample space which is avail
able in this lot is taken advantage of by
the architect, Mr.. l.. Norris, in the prepa-
ration of the plans, and the result will be
that the structure to be erected will be
roomy and will have an interior that will
be the reverse of cramped. There is TO be
a central hall, with rooms on each side.
Practically the whole of the widest part
of the house will be devoted to the dining
room, which will occupy the entire space
on the east side. The exterior walls viii
be of brick, plain in detail. with a high
slate roof that will rest squarely on the
substantial walls.
Substantial Building.
The substantial character of the residence
which is being erected for Mrs. Slater on
18th street near street is feature of
that building that is not the least notice.
able. While good construction is not so un-
usual In this city as to excite comment, still
the thoroughness with which the work is
done, as well as the massive character OF
the materials, make II rather exceptional
as a private residence. AS is sometimes
the case when the plans of a building
are made by architects away from here,
the material selected for the foundation
walls is stone rather than brick. In this
instance all the inside walls of the base
ment are, however, built of brick, stone be-
ing used only in the outer walls. The idea
seems to be among those who use stone in
stead of brick for such purpose that the
former is better calculated to keep out the
moisture, an advantage which is not wholly
conceded to the advocates of the use OF
stone.
In the case of stone foundations it seems
to be thought necessary, at least that was
done In the present instance, TO coat with
tar the outside of the walls especially
that portion which comes i'm contact with
the earth, and to place layer of the same
material upon the top of the stone work
before beginning the superstructure OF
brick and stone. There seems to be no
question about the durability or strength OF
brick as compared with stone although the
latter has a more substantial appearance
and seems to be a more natural material
than brick to use where great power of re-
sistance is needed. The fact is, however,
as is well understood, that there is no
stronger foundation than a wall of good
brick laid in cement. Such a wall becomes,
when the cement hardens like solid rock,
and for that reason. as well as others, brick
is almost universally used here for the
foundations of all classes of buildings.

WHAT BECOMES OF CORKs.
How They Are Gathered and to whom
They Are Sold.

From the New York Evening Post.
what becomes of the pins?' is an old
and unanswered question, but What be-
comes of the corks?" admits of a pretty
complete reply. Cork is one of the most
indispensable articles; yet, useful as 1t is,
and harmless as it appears, it is made q
means of danger to health by trade compe-
tition. Not that anything noxious occurs
in the original growth or preparation for
market of the corkwood, or even In the
process of charring the surface and closing
the pores by extreme heat, which is said to
give the elasticity and iexibility known in
the trade as nerve" When it comes on
the market 1t is without any deleterious
qualities. 1t is after the cork, in its fin
tshed state. has served it's purpose in the
neck of a bottle that it begins its degen-
crate course.
A cork once drawn and the bottle and
contents disposed of, is thrown away gem
orally as waste, especially In private
houses, though In the liquor trade they
are often preserved for sale to itinerant
dealers, who purchase them for trff1e.
Those which are thrown away grayitate to
the ash and garbage barrel, the dump or
the gutter, and possibly the sewer. From
these odorous and offensive receptacles, as
well as from behind the bar, they eventuai-
ly reach the bag of the peddling collector,
and are all placed in one mass, to undergo
the process of so-called cleaning, which
makes them appear to the unframed eye
as good as new, ana prepares tnefn lOr
sale to the economical bother of wines,
liquors, pickles what not, who has
strong eye to the main chance. The corks
look all right, and secure the bottle as well
as new and clean ones would; SO, even IL
there is little poison or worse in them,
what does 1t matter? thinks the careful
dealer.
Thousands of corks float about the coast
and thousands more, which have been
thrown out from passing ships mingle
with them, and are finally cast on shore,
where they are collected by the agents Of
the dealers and shipped to the city to be
cleaned" and sold.
Nothing will really clean them, but they
can be whitened or bleached by the action
OF powerful acid, and this is what Is
done The acids used are chiefly sulphuric
and muriatic or hydrochloric. Vitrioi is
also sometimes employed. The trade IL
quite large one. and is said to be very
profitable, many having grown rich at 1t,
and carrying on big establishments, with
agents at all main points. 1t is conducted
mostly by foreigners, and has representa-
tives In nearly all the cities, though, OF
course this city boasts of the greatest
number.
