THE OWNING ROD IN CRIME

OF the employment of the divinine
rod for the detection of criminals there
are many cases on record, but the most
famous in comparatively recent times
is that of Jacques Aymar, of Lyons.
The full details of the doings of this
remarkable person are given by Mr..
Barring Gould in his "Curious Myths
of the Middle Ages" but the story as
told there is too long for us to repeat.
II will do to serve our purposes 10
quote the following condensed version
by another writer: "On July 8, 1899,
winner and his wife were found dead
in the cellar of their shop at Lyons.
They had been killed by blows from a
hedging knife, and their money had
been stolen. The culprits could not
be discovered, and a neighbor took
upon him to bring to Lyons peasant
out of Dauphine named Jacques
Aymar, man noted for his skill with
the divining rod. The lieutenant.
criminal and the prccureur du roi took
Aymar into the cellar, furnishing him
with rod Of the first wood that came
to hand. According to the procureuI
du roi the rod did not move till AymaI
reached the very spot where the crime
had been committed. His pulse then
beat and the wand twisted rapidly.
Guided by the wand or by some inter
nal sensation, Aymar now pursued the
track of the assassins, entered the
court of the archbishop's palace, lef,
the town by the bridge over the Rhone
and followed the right bank of the
river. He reached gardeners
house, where he declared the man had
entered, and some children confessed
that three men-whom they described
had come into the house one Sun.
day morning.
Aymar followed the track up the
river, pointed out all the places where
the men had landed, and, to make q
long story short, stopped at last at the
door of the prison of Beaucaire. He
was admitted, looked at the prisoners
and picked out as the murderer little
hunchback, who had just been brought
in for q small theft. The hunchback
was taken to Lyons, and he was recog.
nized on the way by the people at al
the stages where lie had stopped. Al
Lyons he was examined in the usual
manner, and confessed that he had
been an accomplice in the crime and
had guarded the door. Aymar pur.
sued the other culprits to the coast
followed them by sea, landed where
they had landed, and only desisted
from his search when they crossed the
frontier. AS for the hunchback. hi
was broken on the wheel, being con
demned on his own confession"

Farmers. whit do YOU think of that:
You that have been croaking about the
poultry interests Of the country being
overione. Now don't you zee that as
long ~ We fail to supply the demands or
our own country for eggs by millions OF
dozens annually, we should not be heard
to complain that tho matter is overdone,
but instead spend this valuable time in
producing the wherewith to supply this
enormous demand.
What kind of business or live stock
will pay so large a dividend on the money
invested as good laying hen, when a
dozen of her eggs will bring as much or
more in market than the fowl itself is
worth. Thus you see the better the
stock is for eggs the larger the profits
will be. One great cause of the def.
cheney in the egg production of this
country is, that too many Of our farm
efs and poultry raisers keep only scrub
stock, and that, in such manner that
the eggs produced, compared with the
number Of fowls kept. amounts to sim.
