and transportation, and in manufac-
turing and mechanical industries,
are larger among the totally blind
than among the general population.
Deafness on the whole, the report
says, is more common in the north
ern part of the United States than
in the southern, and there are more
deaf males than females. Total
number of deaf in the United States
is given as 80, $40, of whom 81, 426
were totally deaf and 81, 961 par
TALLY deaf. From the latter classes
are eliminated those merely ''hard
of hearing" The census report of
1890 gave the number of persons as
deaf as 12t, 1873, and the opinion is
accepted that the returns of 1890
are undoubtedly excessive, while
those of 1900 are deficient. Of the
totally deaf 52.5 per cent were
males. Negroes constitute 1i.6 per
cent of the general population and
only So per. cent of the deaf. That
the negroes seem less susceptible to
deafness than the whites, the report
says, is particularly due in part to
less complete reports from the negro
deaf.
OF the totally deaf 81 per cent
were so from childhood (undcr 20
years of age), and SO per cent from
birth. Of the 80, 928 persons re-
turned as deaf IS, sol were able to
speak we'll, e,4t7 imperfcctly, and
the remainder not at all. The re-
port presents figures to show that
the schools for the deaf are doing
excellent work in teaching articu-
late speech. When the subject of
deafness is considered from the
point of view of consequently, it
would seem heredity has played an
important part in producing congen-
ital deafness. Of these 3d. per
cent were gainfully employed, as
compared with 500 per cent among
the male population. Of the deaf
who we're gainfullly employed SO. 7
per cent were found in occupations
in which perfect or even partial
hearing is not essential.

STATISTICS ON Tilt
BLIND AND DEAF

About one person in every 1900
was blind, and one in every $50
persons was deaf in the United
States in 1900, according to special
census report on the blind and deaf
bulletin just issued by the census
bureau. The inquiry was con-
Quoted under the direction of DR..
Alexander Graham Bell, who de-
termined the scope of the investi-
cation and wrote the text of the
report on the deaf. -.
-ne The total number of blind in the
United States in 1900 was "a, 1853,
of whom IS, 365 were totally blind
and %, partially blind.
These figures, however, the re-
port says, can only be considered
as the minimum, as the unknown
proportion of the blind were not
located by the enumerators. Of the
totally blind 37,054 were males and
27, 7O9 females. The blindness is
chiefly defect of adult life, almost
65 per cent of the blind becoming
so after 20 years of age. About
one-tenth of the total number of
blind were born so. The number
of blind per 1000 of population
was greater among the negroes than
among the whites, and greater
among the foreigH-born whites than
among the native whites.
In about per cent of the cases
of blindness reported the parents of
the blind were cousins. Of the
blind whose parents were so related
25 per cent were congenitally
blind, while among the blind
whose parents were not cousins
the proportion congenitally blind
was 6. 8 per cent. OF the blind
10 per cent were engaged in some
gainful occupation.

ed in professional pursuits, trade

DIVING RODS IN THE
REALM OF SCIENCE

Diving rods, as most persons
know, are forked twigs used to To-
cate underground springs and veins
of precious metals. They may be
of hazel and usually are cut on a
midsummer night.
The searcher holds the twig in
front of him, with hand around
each end of the fork, and the stem
pointing upward. When the spring
or vein is approached the stem be-
gins to drop, and at the place itself
il will suddenly point downward.
The reputation of the diving rod
is not of the best. Most people look
upon it as either a fraud or joke.
1t certainly is a queer sort of thing,
for it will work for SEINE people
and will not work for others.
There undoubtedly have been many
men in whose hands the rod worked
successfully, A personal aptitude
OF nervous susceptibility seems to
be necessary in the operator.
The use of the diving rod oan be
traced back to the rcmotest an
tiquity. In the middle ages it was
used principally by miners. Special
investigation of the rod and its
mysterious ways has been made
from time to time by scientists.
The science of the last century
scornfully rejected it as supersti-
ton.
Recent experiments conducted by
two German scientists, Baron K.
Won Buelow-Rothkamp and ]. Pas
schl, of Gucstrow, have demon
strated that the rod will work I'M
der favorable conditions. AS a
matter of fact, it did work in Pas
sehl's hands. He located springs
and determined their depth beneath
the surface. -
But, although these German
scientists proved to their own sat
isfsction that the divining rod is
neither = a fraud nor a joke, they
were unable to secure the slightest
clew as to the why and wherefore
of its ability to point out spring.
Nor have the hundreds and thous-
ands who have believed in the rod
left any acceptable explanation of
its mysterious power.
Following these German expert
ments, Swiss engineer, Adolf
Schmidt, has invented an instru-
ment intended to do what the divin-
ing rod has done. 1t is a combina-
ton of magnetic needle, a coil
arranged in the magnetic meridian
and a dial. When placed above a
spring the needle oscillates rapidly
and tells its tale on the dial.
The instrument really works, and
patents have been granted in sever
al countries. Unlike the divining
rod, it will work equally well for
all operators. But, like the divin-
ing rod, no one, not even the in
ventor, can tell why it works
There is the same old mystery
about the performance. Salt Lake

Ann Arbor, Mich, Feb. 2s.-Walter Reinschild,

turned down, however. and informed that his
presence in college Is not desired for the balance
of the year. Germany" Schultze, the big cen

Appleton, Wis. Feb. 2S.-Dr. Samuel Plantz,
president Of Lawrence university, is In favor Of
allowing students to play semiprofessional base
ball during the season. He said at the last
meeting of the Wisconsin college presidents that
the matter vas brought mp for discussion
Beloit and Knox being strongly in favor Of 1t,
while others, especially Lake Forest, were op-
posed to the change, and the matter dropped
In speaking of the situation Dr.. Plantz said:
81 can see no harm in allowing the student to
make money during the summer In playing base
ball 1t may verge on professionalism. but
baseball is not the college sport 1t was in my
day, and as it comes SO late III the college year
that 1t would be necessary for person who
entered school just for the sake OF the game
to take up his studies some months before the
season commenced and the after-professional
does not care to keep up in studies that long.
In football 1t Is different. One might enter
the beginning of the year and leave school at
the close of the season. I would not bar a
bona fde student from, playing baseball simply
because he earned money by his knowledge Of
the game during the summer, If I could have

to swerve one bit from his well-known policy Of

that he proposes to wait and see if the st. Louis
