Valley Improvement Club at Tilton Hall,
Union street, near Cough.
A general mass-meeting CT the property
owners in the northern portion of the city

the Board of Supervisors to improve Lewis
street. from Laguna to Baker, by the con-
struction of stone embankment and also
the grading of the street, together with
similar improvements for Laguna, from
Bay street to the shore line.
Several members thought it the duty of
the club and the property-owners TO aid an
Improvement Of such paramount impor-
tance to the district as well as the city and
county at large. Several reasons were
given why the Beard of Supervisors should
overrule the objections filed by number

HOWARD WAS BURIED.
But the Mystery of His Death Is
Unexplained.

Unexplained.
VIII the Coroner of Mendocino County
hold an inquest on the body of William a.
Howard, second engineer of the steamer
Alcazar? is the question ofsthe hour. The
body was inferred yesterday.
Coroner Hughes was not in his Office
yesterday. but Leon Jones, his deputy,
expressed the opinion that if the Coroner
of Mendocinn County did his duty he would
insist upon the body being exhumed. ii in
TERED, and also insist upon the captain of
the Alcazar taking the body back TO Rock
port.
I'VE have nothing more to do with the
case" said Mr.. Jones. "Dr. Keeney has
issued burial permit and the matter will
have to be settled between him and the
Coroner of Mendocino County"
The fact that sufficient morphine to
cause death was found in the stomach Of
the deceased engineer by DR.. Darlington,
who made the analysis, points to suicide
or murder and renders an inquest to elicit
the facts necessary. Coroner Hughes can
not hold the inquest and has simply done
all that he could do in notifying the Coro-
ner of Mendocino County of the facts,
leaving the latter to do his duty in the
premises,

MELTING IRON In WATER.
An Electric Experiment Which Opens
Up Large Possibilities.

Among recent electrical experiments
made ON either side OF the Atlantic, that
OF melting bar OF iron immersed in
cold water has perhaps excited more
popular interest than any other, says
Electricity.
The process Is as follows: The apps-
ratus used Is a vessel of glass or porce-
trode, connected to the positive pole OF a
cor tinuous current generator. The vcs-
pei contains sulphuric acid and water. A
flexible cable from the negative pole is
cor nected to a strong pair OF pliers with
insulated handles. Taking in the pliers
a piece of metal OF any kind. iron, for
instrI ce. and immersing 1t in the acidu-
ately in ebulition near the iron rod or
brought to a dazzling white In a few
seconds, and soon begins to melt In
dueed so quickly locally that neither the
water nor the body of the metal rod have
time to become hot.
So rapid an evolution OF heat neces-
s'rily means tremendously high tenn
perature. In very short time as high
rs 1000 degrees fahrenheit have been
developed VIII lch IN proven by using a
carbon rod instead of Il metal one, when,
fragments are seen dropping off. The in
ventors claim to have attained. with
large currents. the enormously high tenn
nearly five times hotter than molten iron.
The first suggestion for the practical
utilization OF the discovery was for weld
ing purposes, To which 1t Is evidently
particularly well adapted. Another APP
pl!cation which the experiments would
| seem to lead toward is the tempering OF
one edge or one extremity only OF steel
cutting tools. The hardening OF the skin
surface OF large pieces OF metal, such as
armor plates. offers another inviting
field Krurp. 1t is stated. is already try.
ing this new method OF electric heating
for tempering the superficial surface OF
large guns.

Ing smack Matte and Lena has arrived
here after a four-day trip about Block
Island with sixteen large swortlfish,
averaging three hundred pounds each,
and an exciting story OF struggle for
life between Henry Cheesbro, one OF
the crew. and wounded and naddcned
swordfsh. says Every Saturday.
Cheesbro had harpooned big fish off
Montauk Point: and. after waiting the
boat to bring the apparently exhausted
fish to the vessel. AS soon as Chess
bro approached him and commenced
hauling in the line, the fish awoke from
ms torpor and started in to battle for
his life. He began operations by diving
no as to spear Cheesbro's boat on coming
to the surface. Missing his aim. the fish
dived again for a second attack.
II was now too late for Cheesbro to
retreat. and. defenseless in the frail
CEDAR yawl. he awaited the onslaught
When the fish shot out of the water
once more he drove his sword completely
through the boat from side to side. The
sword entered the boat about three feet
from the bow on the port side and came
out through the thin plank on the star
board side. Cheesbro had retreated to
the stern Of the boat in time to avoid
the violence Of the fierce fish and thus
escaped injury.
His plight was seen from the schooner
and the vessel headed for the scene OF
bro kept his frail and disabled craft
a1oat until succor arrived. A blow on
the head finally killed the fish and Chess
