LABOR'S JOAN OF ARC.
A Young Woman Of Paterson Champions
he SaDsa nf tim Sill yNaavars

Young Woman of Paterson Champions
the Cause of the Silk Weavers.
Miss Lillian a. North, strikingly
handsome young woman of Paterson,
n. j., is devOting her life to the cause
Of labor. She has already appeared as
the champion of the Paterson silk
wcavers, and. although without other
influence than that which her mental
qualities have won, she has taken
prominent part in the attempt to settle
the disturbed conditions existing be-
tween employer and employed in the
Lyons of America. a great army Of silk
wcavers look upon her almost as their
Joan of Arc, and many Of the big manu-
facturcrs treat her with the greatest of
consideration.
Miss North is the daughter of one Of
the designers in big silk mill, and her
sister is also employed in the same
branch Of the industry. She herself has
never worked in the mills, but has had
the advantages Of what is known as q
"higher education, having attended a
good school in Philadelphia and later
studied at Cornell. She especially ap-
piled herself to the study of economic
problems and SO broadened her mind
that when she returned to Paterson.
where strikes had been causing much
suffering and bitterness, she was able
to see clearly into the heart Of things.
With unseltish zeal she began an earnest
study Of the complex phases of the silk

once gave chase and finally landed the
hat as it stopped against Il dray wheel.
He lost his own silk tile i'll the capture,

picked it up. Then he turned to find the
grateful youth. Instead his inquiry of
"Who>c hat:' caused IL burly drayman
to step forward and say: "Thank you,

great deal OF attention by reason of
their breadth of view, depth of thought
and lucid, sincere expression.
In her latest contribution Miss North
advocates the formation Of II society for
arbitration in which employer and en-
ployrd could meet on equal terms to
discuss their differences. This plan has
been approved by the labor leaders and
by many Of the manufacturers. just at

SAILS UNDER WATER.
RICHARD RADDATZ'S SUCCESSFUL
SUBMARINE BOAT.

A Young Inventor of Oshkosh Seems to
Have Solved the Problem Of Submarine
Navigation His Craft Runs by Elec-
tricity and Is Easily Managed.
How to sail under water has been as
perplexing problem as how to sail
through the air. Alleged solutions of
both have been announced from time to
time, but the fact remains that aerial
and submarine navigation are not in
dulged in to any great extent.
The latest inventor to claim perfect
cd submarine boat is Richard Raddatz
Of Oshkosh, Wis. and SO far his achieve
ments in this line have been remark
able. He has constructed boat which
has done more than any other subma-
rine craft ever built. With one passen-
ger be has remained for three hours un.
der water without exhausting his air
supply, and he has apparently demon
strated his ability to control the move
ments Of his boat with perfect ease and
exact nicely.
Thus far all the tests have been made
in Lake Winnebago, Fox river and 9TH
er inland waters of Wisconsin. but the
boat has been shipped by rail to Mil
waukee and will soon be tried in the
deeper waters Of Lake Michigan. The
new submarine boat, which is as yet
unnamed, is shaped like long, thin
cigar. 1t is 65 feet 10 inches in length
and has midship section of 16 feet in
length which is feet in diameter.
At each end Of this midship section
rises a turret several feet high. The
hull Of the craft is of armor steel FIVE.
sixteenths of an inch in thickness. At
the apex of the tapering prov is sharp
steel beak feet long, which gives it
formidable appearance. Without ballast
the boat weighs 26, 900 pounds.
The interior of the boat is far from
commodious as only in the turrets can
man stand erect. For submarine nav
igation an electric motor, run by q 80
cell storage battery, furnishes the pow

AN UP TO DATE TOMB.

The Magnificent MauSolenm John w. Mac
The mausoleum which John W. Mac.
kay is erecting in Greenwood cemetery,
Brooklyn, is ono of the most magnifi
cent private structures Of the kind even
constructed in this country. 1t will cost
about $500, 900, and many features
about it will be unique. In one respect
it will differ from most tombs, and this
is that it will be heated and lighted by
electricity.
The mauSoleum stands on Ocean hill,
one Of the most commanding sites i'll
the cemetery. 1t is 33 feet square, with
four wings, each 10 feet square. In
these wings are placed 90 crypts, anS
there are two additional crypts beneath
the altar. For roof the structure has
the largest slab Of granite ever quarried
