Attraction repulsion ! gravity. Let those who make sport of ihe divining rod answer how much time they ever gave those intricate laws, l have put blocks of timber of different sizes into quiet pools of wa, ter and noticed that the lesser blocks would adhere to each other, and that all would adhere to the larger block, thereby proving that gravity was in- ate. Many other experiments have made to prove that matter of itself possessed in itself gravity separate and apart from our earth as an aggregate. We find that dry earth Is not possessed of the weight (grayity), of moist earth. Again, we can very nearly put into tae s,me space cubic foot ot dry earth aud a cubic foot of water. Now when we blend matter into hali the space before occupied, we find gravity (weighD materially increased, but who IS prepared to disprove that with the blending of matter with the increase of gravity (per cubic foot), that mate gravity is not the more (per cubic foot) than before thus blendedi Now, the dlvining rod needs to be very long, very elastic and is held very cautiously, so that with the least increase of gravity it can be observed in the bending of the rod. Once was attending performance of a water wizard, and he gave up unti another time before giving his con. clusion because of the wind, and could scarcely observe breeze at all, but our expert said that there wal enough to interfere with the rod. Suffice it to say that our knight O the rod did conclude, and seapag' only was obtained by digging to quite a depth, just as predicted by th' knight of the witch hazle.
