The "Fins" Of a Submarine.

There are few persons outside Of the
navy who have ever seen a subma-
rine's fins in action. The modern
submersible craft built for the United
States navy are all provided with these
lateral rudders, but when the vessels
are at the surface or moving in a level
plane under water the fins are folded
back into recesses in the sides of the
hull. The purpose Of these plans is to
aid the submarine to rise or sink ON
an ever keel. "Porpoising." or rising
and diving at an angle. is avoided in
submarine practice as much as posi-
BILE. The lateral fins are attached to the
hull by ball and socket joints, so that
they may be rotated to give n planning
effect either upward or downward at
any angle and folded away when not
in use.-Popular Mechanics.

The Sunday School Lesson
SENIOR BEREAN.

There was nothing profound or per-
picking that ba1fled him. He was able
to furnish an answer to each and all of
her difficulties to her satisfaction.
Verses 4-9.-A generous commenda-
ton.
The queen was enlightened in mat
tiers OF wisdom, so that she had a
clearer conception Of duty and some
understanding Of the source Of wisdom,
which is God. She showed such keen
interest and expressed herself so ap-
preciatively that Solomon gave her the
freedom Of his kingdom, as we would
say, and showed her everything. 1.-The
house" That is, his royal residence.
The house of the Lord" The temple.
She was no doubt also permitted to sit
III the hall Of judgment and listen to
his judicial decisions. On all hands
there We're signs of luxury and gran
deur, dignity and reverence. and eyery-
thing was on an imposing scale Of mag
innocence. There was no more spirit
Ill her. She was utterly d~umfounded
and filled with amazement and admira-
ton.
"ENcecdeth the fame which l heard"
The reports had not been exaggerated.
but had rather %understated the facts.
There was no eXaggeration in the
current rumors concerning Solomon.
Happy are thy men," The Septuagint
Greek translation is, "happy are thy
wives" This is more correct, because
the next clause will not then be a repe-
tltlon. "Thy servants refers in a gen
cral way to all his subjects. Delight
ed in thee" His eXaltation was due
to the divine favor which was shown
no only to him, but to all Israel. ITO
do Judgment and justice" The purpose
OF his kingship was to advance the in
tercsts of righteousness and equity.
From this we can infer that when he
ceases thus to honor Jehovah he will
be disgraccd.
Verses 10, Is. - Mutual congratula-
tionS.
Her fair speeches took practical
form. AS q mark of her pleasure she
made rich offerings to the king. He in
turn gratified 'all her deSires'' as to en-
l%ightenmcnt and understanding of wis
DOM. He, moreover, gave her of his
royal bounty" Margin of Revision is,
"He gave her according to the hand of
King Solomon'-that is, III a spirit Of
liberality characteristic of him. Went
to her own country" This was GER
tainly a memorable visit, and the queen
felt that she was amply repaid for the
toll, time and expense involved. She
brought with her much material
wealth. She took back with her great
spiritual riches. which included, let us
hope, a knowledge Of the living and
true God. She got what she came for
| and in addition religious insight.

Port Arthur's Downfall.

One Of the most dramatic s~urrenders
In military history was that Of Port
Arthur during the Russo-Japanese war.
For five months the Russians, under
General Stoessel, defended the city into
which they had been forced by the
fierce onslaughts Of the Japanese. 1t
was expected that the ears troops,
$4,000 strong and well provisioned,
would safely hold Port Arthur until
relief came. After twenty weeks Of
siege, however, Stoessel raised the
white flag and the japanese marched
into the city. General Stoessel was
tried for treason III connection With the
surrender, and he was sentenced to
death, for it was stated that the Rus
slams had sufficient food and ammuni-
ton in Port Arthur to have continued
their defense for some time. The car
committed the sentence on Stoessel to
one Of ten years imprisonment, but
the disgrace broke his health and he
died, paralyZed and dumb.

The first medal issued as a reward
for military service was struck by or

When the news reached London that
Cromwell had defeated the Scots at
Dunbar on Sept. 3, 1850, the house Of
commons instructed Thomas Simon.
chief engrayer to the mint, to proceed
to Edinburgh and design a medal in
honor Of the event, Of which a leading
feature should be a portrait of the vic
torious general.
The result was a lifelike portrait Of
Cromwell! Iii profile. and over his head
is engraved the battle cry Of his iron-
sides, "The lord Of hosts" On the re-
verse there Is a wonderful representa-
ton in miniature Of the house Of COM

to all officers and p%rivates alike who
fought in Scotland, but this democratic
practice was discontinued till revived

Plank Still Good.


That Eddie Plank Of the st. Louis
team is still a competent pitcher is be-
ing proved by his successful work in
the Federal league. Plank surely is a
wonderful veteran. He has passed the
forty mark, and vet continues to show
rare form as a twirler.
Chief Bender. on the other hand. is
not making good. He has Won but a
game or so this season, and most of the
time has been hit hard. Bender gave
signs of going back last year when he
was with the Athletics, but Plank,
while he cannot do a lot of work, will
win a majority of his games if given
the proper amount of rest between
them.

Fate Of tho Bremen.
The fate Of the Bremen, the oldest
n slowest Of the raiders. is also in
doubt. Early in the war she was re-
ported off the Brazilian coast. and on
Aug. 80 to have overhauled the Dutch
steamer Gelria. She does not appear
to have made any captures until to-
ward the end of November. She was
said to have been filling her coal bunk
ers at Juan Fernandez. in the Pacific,
flom a vessel which has never been
identified. Nothing more was heard of
her until on Jan. II an unofficial mes
sage from Petrograd announced that
she had arrived at Wilhelmshaven
seriously damaged by striking a mine.
Whether she ever did thread her way
through all the French and British
cruisers on the watch for her and her
sister and got back has never been
officially announced, but 1t was signiti-
cant that when Lord Crewe spoke Of
the cruisers still at large after the vic
tory in the Falklands, he omitted the
Bremen from his list.
strassburg's Disappearance.
What has become Of the Strassbury
is equally obscure. She was one Of
the later light cruisers, a sister ship
to the Karlsruhe, and quite as fast.
Early in August she was reported to
have coaled at st. Thomas, in the West
Indies, and a further report stated
that she had been seen in company
with the Karlsruhe. But she has never
made my captures, so far as is known.
She has not been sunk by British
war vessels, for no encounter has been
reported by the admiralty, nor has she
~ "G "Hy 'S"'AtA l'CIN. ANol
Il word concerning the little warship
has been heard from n source, for
no ships sighted her, nor has her name
been mentioned as N of the active
German commerce destroyers.
After leaving st. Thomas just before
the opening of hostilities it is believed
that she remained ut sea until her coal
supply was exhausted and then was
either sunk by one Of the fierce West
indian storms or was driven into the
dreary Sargasso sea, from which no
ship escapes.
1t is possible that she is held in re-

Germans evidently have somewhere on
the coast Of South America, biding her
time for a descent upon the commerce
Of the allies. Her commander, Rear
Admiral Rebcur PaSchWitZ, however.
is known to be exceptionally daring,
and this theory is secuted. 1t is i'm
probable that the Strassburg made her
way across the Atlantic to a home
port at the outbreak Of the war, for
no other German III DESTROYER

How Traps Were Operated.
The captive vessels, manned by
German citizens found aboard them
and prize crews from the Karlsruhe,
took their places for the traps.
Here, in the word of Captain Hans
Fritsch, a member of the German
naval reserve commanding the steamer
Asuncion, was the way the traps were
operated after the karlsruhe had been
active for six weeks: The Karlsruhe
was constantly accompanied by at least
four captured merchant vessels. When
her officers learned that a merchant
man was due in that part of the At

from one edge of the fan to the other

daytime the wireless notified the Karls-
ruhe, cruising slowly up and down
along the rear Of the fan. Then she
would dash in with her superior speed
and capture the prize.
"There was always danger. though.
; that the captain of the ship we We're
after would become suspicious of the
code radio messages that would be
flashed through the air and gain such
a lead that it would be impossible to
catch his ship before she reached a
neutral port or a point in the ocean
where it would have been dangerous
to follow her.
Like Moths Attracted to Light.
1.-Two of the seventeen ships captur-
ed by the Karlsruhe came right up to
her while she was flashing with her
s~earchlight a message concerning an
other vessel. They reminded us OF
moths flying up to a candle fame.'
With all this warfare. buccaneering,
piracy or valor-what YOU term it de
ponds upon the direction in which your
%sympathies lie-not a single life was
taken.
The commander of the karlsruhe
once learned that the British had sent
the battle cruiser Princess ROYAL to
augment the cruiser squadron that had
been trying to find him. various units
OF which he had at different times en-
gagged or 10y skillful maneuvering eyad-
cd. Now, the Princess Royal is prob
ably the most powerful ship of her
class in the world. She has the arma-
ment of a battleship and the speed Of
a torpedo boat destroyer. Under forced
draft she can make a speed of thirty
three knots. The karlsruhe could
make a maximum of twcnty-seven. So
the commander of the Karlsruhe lined
up his crew.
