Soldering Aluminium.

A. T. Stanton tells in Nature Of
his process of soldering aluminium:
"If cadmium iodide be fused on an
aluminium plate, decomposition of
the salt occurs long before the melt
ing point of the aluminium Is reach
ed. The result is generally the vio-
lent evolution of iodine vapor, and
the formation of an alloy of cad
MUM and aluminium on the surface
of the metal. The addition to the
cadmium iodide of the two chlorides
of zinc and ammonium, previously
fused together, results in a hux,
which readily enables tin Cor other

Irene.

NEW YORK, July 20.-A dispatch to
The World from Manila, July IA, by
way Of Hong Kong, says. Admiral
Dewey sent a messenger to the Ger
man admiral recently to inquire
whether America and Germany are at
peace or at war. If they are at peace
he demanded that the German war
ships here pursue different course.
II they are at war he wanted. to
know 1t, so he could govern himself
accordingly.
Admiral Dewey was prompted to
send this peremptory message by the
action Of the German cruiser Irene in
preventing an insurgent attack upon
the Spanish garrison at subig bay,
which greatly displeased him.
Admiral Won Diedrichs, In command
Of the German feet in the Pacific, re-.
turned a verbal answer which was
Rpologetic in tone and satisfactory.
But afterwards he sent to Admiral
Dewey q note stating that he objected
to the Americans stopping German
ships, which have been in the bay once,
and been visited.
The German ships have made prac-
tice of coming into Manila, and then
making trips outside the bay, cruising
among the she islands and returning
in two or three days. The German
contention is that ship should not be
stopped after the first time.

Admiral Dewey replied that Manila

very important part Of the Philippine
archipelago. They had been coasting
about the island. The four entered
the bay on returning in column form.
The cruiser Boston left yesterday to

which is expected here this week.
There is no probability of action until
General Merritt arrives.
