sUTToN's PAPER
The question of the possibility OF To-
eating and tracing underground streams
of water was the subject of an extended
ard carefully prepared paper by Dr. j.
G. Sutton, of Rushylvania, o.
DR.. Sutton at the outset admitted that
his subject was an unpopular ore, in
held by water witches. or those claiming
to be endowed with divine power. aided
by forked stick"
His experience was. however, that by
following the ordinary rules of scientific
research, the location Of sub-surface
water was possible and having no con-
nection with superstition and other rub
bish surrounding the subject. Upon the
established theory that the earth Is a
magnet, he gave in detail the results Of
his investigations covering period OF
twelve years. Water and matter sur
rounding 1t under the surface were mag
netic to such a degree, DR.. Sutton
claimed, as to influence action above the
ground. He concluded:
Il have been cautious about falling in
to the error of assuming more than my
experimental results seem to justify.
And now, dogmatic as the assertion may
appear, l declare to you that have been
fortunate enough to devise an electro
magnetic device so finely sensitive to
variations in the earth's agnetism that
I am enabled to accurately trace and
map out sub-surface streams of water"
DR.. Sutton's paper was the last set
speech of the afternoon and the busi-
ness session followed, but was limited to
the appointment of committees on per-
manent organ ization and resolutions.
