The "Fins" of a Submarine.

There are few persons outside of the
navy who have ever seen a subma-
rine's "fns" 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 fms 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
on even keel. "Porpoising," or rising
and diving at an angle, is avoided in
submarine practice as much as possi-
BILE. The lateral fins are attached to the
hull by ball and socket joints, so that
they may be rotated to give & planning
effect either upward or downward at
any angle and folded away when not
in use.-Popular Mechanics.

Want Bosses to Renew Agree
ments With Journeymen in
Effect Prior to Yesterday.

Strike is threatened among
BARRIERS in this city unless all of the
boss BARRIERS renew agreements with
the journeymen, such as were in
effect prior to yesterday. 1t is de-
clared that but eleven out of nearly
fifty boss BARRIERS in the city have
signed agreements with the journey
men. They are declared to be the
only union boss BARRIERS in the city
at present, inasmuch as they are the
only operators of shops who have
agreed in writing to conform to
rules of the union. 1t appears that
majority of the others do not want
to renew agreements because they
want the privilege of working until
at least 8 o'clock nights, until early
Sunday morning from Saturday
night and on Sundays generally.
Those who have renewed agree
ments with the union are: William
Fitzgerald, 119 Smith street; Henry
Pape, 363 State street; Michael Mes
It'll, 200 Smith street; Louis H.

the barbars and bosses up until yes
terday included the shift of working
hours of from 7:30 o'clock in the
morning until o'clock at night,
until II O'Clock Saturday nights,
and absolute closing on Sundays.
Representatives are now at work
interviewing bosses who have not
yet signed the renewal agreement,
