WATER WITCH AND OWNERS ROD.

Most neighborhoods have their firm
Witches the men who with hazel
twig are able to locate the best places
to sink wells with certainty Of find
ing water with the least cost and ex-
ertion. So widely prevalent is this
faith in the peculiar properties Of the
witch hazel rod and the powers of the
diviner that members of the geological
survey have conducted long series OF
experiments and offer an explanation
of the curious action of the rod in the
hands of the water witch.
MANY of the operators of these de-
vices especially those that use the
home-cut forked branch. are perfectly
honest in the belief that the working
usually regarded as electric currents
following underground streams of wa
ter-that are entirely Independent of
their own bodies, and many unedu-
Gated people have implicit faith in
their ability to locate underground
water in this way.
In experiments with a rod OF this
type, one Of the biologists of the I'm
lifted States geological survey found
that at points it turned downward in
dependently of his will, but more COM
plete tests showed that the downturn
ing resulted from slight and-until
watched for-unconscious changes In
the inclination Of his body, the effects
arms and wrists to the rod. No move
ment of the rod from causes outside
the body could be detected, and 1t
soon became obvious that the view
held by other men Of science is cor
rect--that the operation Of the "divin-
ing rod is generally due to uncon-
scious movements of the body or of
the muscles of the hand. The expert
ments made show that these move
ments happen most frequently at
places where the operators experience
has led him to believe that water may
be found. The uselessness of the divin-
ing rod is indicated by the facts that
the rod may be worked at will by the
operator, that he fails to detect strong
currents Of water running in tunnels
and other channels that afford no sur
face indications of water, and that his
locations in limestone regions where
water flows in well-def1ned channels
are rarely more successful than those
dependent on mere guesses. In fact It's
operators are successful only in re-
gions in which ground water occurs in
a definite sheet in porous material or
in more or less clayey deposits, such
as the pebbly clay or till in which al
tho few failures occur. wells would
get water anywhere.
Ground water occurs under certain
definite conditions, 1t is explained, and
as in humid regions a stream may be
predicted wherever valley IS known.
