Rationale, NJ. Saglio gives in detail
an account Of his researches in the
line Of highly expansive enamels, and
the important scientific and industrial
bearing Of such characteristic. He
found that silica. ksolin. petalite and
xircon impart to the enamel infusi-
bility, but lessen the responsiveness;
that oslcic phosphate increases the
sxpAnsiveness, give viscosity to the
enamel in fusion, imparting to 1t also

Auoespar, aud, above all, rutile, which
seems to AZ the boracic acid well, in

Of the enamel. 1t is OF course familiar

sulator for resistance wires Of electric
heating and cooking apparatus is now
general, and manufacturers have by
careful experiment ascertained which
Of the various enamels give the most
favorable results. The desiderata are
that the expansion Of the enamels be
about the same as that Of the metals
employed, and that the enamel be not
vsry brittle.

0NE-HALF PER CENT ADVANCE
REMARKABLY HEAVY DECLINE
IN THE RESERVE
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON. July 14.-The Statist in it's
editorial on the money outlook to-mor-
row will say:
The Bank of England has raised the
bank rate from to 31a per cent and Az
per cent for short advances.
There was some question whether the
general rate should be advanced to 4
per cent, but it was finally decided that
an advance of one-half per cent would
be sufficient for the moment
This step was practically forced upon
the bank by further heavy reductions
in the reserves of the New York banks
from $4,000 to 91,0000 900 sterling.
This reduction not only makes further
gold shipments from the United states
out of the question, but brought Lon
don to face the possibility of New York
taking money from Europe as soon as
wheat begins to move freely.
The continued outflow of cash into
the south, the French competition for
gold in the London market, the lnabll-
ity of the Bank of England to obtain
gold abroad to a greater extent than Is
necessary to meet interior requirements
and the ability Of Japan to take gold
away if she requires it-theSe are all
additional factors for protecting the re
serve. Since July the reserve has de-
clined by about $500 900.
VIII the present rate have to be fur
ther advanced? is the question. Last
year at this date the reserve stood at
more than e25, ,O00, 900. Then we were
calling in money from Germany and the
United States was taking payment for
wheat and cotton largely in securities.
This year we have no balances in Ger
many and may be unable to pay the
United States by selling stocks. Hence
we must be prepared either to offer a
discount rate sufficiently high to induce
American banks to keep gold on this
side, or to send gold in payment for
produces. We may consequently wit
ness a per cent rate here and a higher
rate in Germany than last year.
The Westminster Gazette this after
noon says: a call of 81, 250, 900 will fall
due next Monday for payment on the
japanese loan and on various other is
sues of capital
1t is understood a small financial
house here arranged to take the bills
as they arrive from the East through
July at rs, and, as the discount is
312, this is a very serious matter for
the firm.
RumOrs are therefore current of i'm
pending financial difficulties, and in the
circumstances it is not surprising that
banks and others are acting with more
than usual precaution just now in
keeping surplus balances well in hand.

TRACING THE
GRAVE-D|GGERS
Mystery of the ElmWood
Stock Farm.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE. July 1.-THE discovery of
a half-flled grave on the Elmwood
Stock Farm is still being earnestly dis
cussed by residents of Milpitas. Last
Wednesday afternoon two strange men
and a we'll dressed woman were seen
to leave the train at Alviso and after
inouiring for a man named Smith they
proceeded to walk along the road to
Milpitas. One of the men carried
spade wrapped in several newspapers.
After reaching the Elmwood Stock
Farm they halted. One of the men un-
covered a spade and proceeded TO dig
a grave His companions stood close
by, the woman presumably having been
instructed to keep a strict LOOKOUT lot
any resident who might happen to pass
along the road. The grave was dug
to a. depth of six feet and was two feet
wide When they had completed their
strange task they espied G. L. BOOTS
manager of the farm, driving toward
them Seeing the loose dirt piled on the
road he stopped and asked one OF the
men what he intended to do. The men
gave an evasive answer. and Mr. Boots,
not thinking seriously of the occurrence
at the time, continued along the road
About an hour later it occurred to him
that the mysterious trio might have
committed murder and that they in
tended to bury their supposed victim
in the deep hole they had dug Sum
moning one of his hired men. Mr.. Boots
returned to the untitled grave, only to
find that it had been covered up and
the woman and the men gone.
Suspecting that the victim of some
murderous crime was buried beneath
the pile of dirt, Mr.. Boots ordered his
hired man to uncover the grave. He
found that the sand was loose for a
depth of six feet, convincing him that
the strangers had worked with remark
able alacrity in digging the grave. Mr..
Boots was satisfied in his own mind
that the trio were bent on mischief and
at once telephoned the Sheriff, inform
ing him of his discovery. 1t was not
until yesterday, however, that the
Sheriff deemed the discovery of suff1-
cient Importance to make an investi-
cation. He sent two of the deputies
to the scene and after inspecting the
grave they proceeded to examine the
residents.
Several persons were found who had
along the road. Besides a spade they
carried a telescope basket and a sus-
pfcous looking package. After leaving
the scene the trio hurried along the
road. walking to Alviso, where they
boarded a train for this city. The most
suspicious circumstances which many
of the residents claim lend color to the
theory that a grave was dug for the
reception of some unknown victim is
that the trio should dig hole so deep
and refuse to answer the questions put
to them by Mr.. Boots.
The grave was dug in an open place
on a country road where it could be
plainly seen by any passerby. The fact
that the strangers worked in broad day
light. however. satisfied several of the
residents that they did not intend to
use it to cover up bloody crime. An
other theory is that they were search
ing for lost treasure which they sup
posed was buried there.
