There was an unusually interesting character connected with this station. He was an old Chinese mandarin, who, when he was in office, unlike major ity Of the Chinese officials, did his duty. While suppressing a robbers band he was shot in the leg, which resulted in his giving up his office. He was converted to Christianity through the instrumentality of 8 native clergy man.

The old mandarin hobbled to the back Of the room, gathers the children around him and amuses them by stories told in low whispers.

He is like a father to the mission. He looks after each one and is always glad to see us and makes 1t his object to keep the workers in the best of spirits and good health.

AFTER THE HEARING ON MONDAY
 BURR HAwLEY, BxECUToR.

At the continued hearing on the ad- mission of the will of Grandson B. Parmelee to probate, which was held at the Brick building on Monday be- fore Judge Beecher, Attorney Cham berlain, for the proponents, rested his case without the introduction of further evidence. The contestants, represented by Attorney. Davis of Danbury, also rested. The lawyers then briefly argued for and against the admission of the will, Attorney Cham berlain claiming that all the legal re- Quirements in making 8 will had been fulfilled, and that the evidence of the doctors showed that MT Parmelee had mental capacity enough. Attorney Davis stated that there was not a prima facfe case in that the testimony did not show that MT Parmelee knew that he was making a will, in fact Dr Pratt states in his testimony that he did not know whether MT Parmelee knew whether it was 8 will or not. He gave notice of a contest and yet the of only two of the witnesses to the will has been taken. Judge Beecher decided that the will be ad- mitted to probate and Attorney Davis gave notice that an appeal would be taken to higher court.

To Detect Presence OF
Underground Water

Washington, Oct Numerous
devices are used throughout this
country for detecting the presence
of underground water-deYices
ranging in oomplexity from the
forked branch of witch hazel, peach
or other wood to the more or less
elaborate mechanical or electric
contrivances. Many of the opera
tors of these devices, especially
those that use the home-cut forked
branch. are perfectly honest in the
belief that the working OF the
rod is influenced by agencies-us
ually regarded as electric currents
following underground streams OF
water-that are entirely indepen-
dent of their own bodies, and many
uneducated people have faith II
their ability to locate underground
water in this way.
In experiments with a rod Of
this type one of the biologists o.
the United States geological survey

to the rod. No movement of the
rod from causes outside the body
could be detected, and it soon be-
came obvious that the view held
by other men of science is correct
that the operation of the '-divin-
ing RODE is generally due to un-
conscious movements of the body
or of the muscles of the hand. The
experiment made shows that these
movements happen most frequently
at places where the operator S
experience has led him to believe
4hat water may be found. The use

dictated by the facts that the rod
