the number of submarines destroy
ed might be drawn. The monthly
obituary tribute of the Hamburg
American Company to its employees
who have been lost, appears, how
ever, with eight out of twelve names
ascribed to the navy. Nearly all
are from the mechanical personnel
of the company and it is fair pre-
sumption that they were lost in the
submarine campaign, because trained
mechanics are not assigned to the
marine forces in Flanders, and sur
face ships arc little exposed to cas-
ualties.
Recently the same proportion of
casualties from other sources from
which the submarine personnel is
drawn would indicate that the sub
marine losses are inconsistent with
the Admiralty assertion that the
monthly loss in boats is below ten,

Aluminium Can Now Be soldered.

Aluminium Can NOW BE SotoeFe0.
The great drawback to the use OF
aluminium for Industrial purposes has
hitherto been that once broken or
cracked it could be mcnded only by
fiveting or welding, q costly process,
for there has been no way OF solder
ing the metal. At last, however, a
solder has been found that seems to
remedy this defect. This has been
tested by the advisory panel of scien-
tiflc experts in the British ministry of
munitions and reported upon so favor
ably that the comptroller OF munitions
las called it to the attention Of the
Woolwich arsenal and other munition
makers in England.
The inventor has not made public
the formula, but states that 1t is mere
" an alloy OF common metals, blended
in certain proportions and applied In
the ordinary way with q torch. He
shows a series of photographs OF a
large aluminium casting with q great
piece being broken out of it being
patched on, soldered and NAen filed
/ down smooth.
For Welding aluminium a temperature
of more than 900 degrees Fahrenheit
is necessary; $50 degrees suffice for
U.dering.

FISH cAa SMELL
Experiments Show That Fish Are At.
tracted to Anglers Hook by
Odor Of Bait.

A fish hasn't q nose, but it can smell.
What is more, these experiments have
proved that odor travels through wa
ter, just as it does through air.
Anglers have laid so much stress on
the need Of exciting a fish's interest by
the look of food that the effect of scene
has been overlooked. A shark will
bite at a hook containing q piece OF
fat pork, although the pork does not
look like any kind of fish that swims
the sea. Why, then, should the trout
be expected to be interested only in an
artificial "gray hackle?"
1t may be heresy in angling to sug-
gest that a ely should smell like a
fly. These scientific experiments show
how large a part smell plays in the
food pursuit of fish. Bait, such as
small crabs, was found and eaten by
| the fishes two or three times as rap
idly when the shells were broken. Bait
placed inside a gauze bag was smelled
i within three minutes of being lowered
in the water, and almost at the same
time all the fishes began nibbling at
the bag. When cotton was stuffed in.
to it's so-called "nostrils" the dogfisll
would seldom observe the food thai
came near them. If they saw other
dogGsh eating, those whose nostrils
were stuffed would join them and take
a share in the feast, but when kept t.
themselves they starved in the mids'
of plenty.-Chicago Herald.
