SCIENCE TESTS OWNING ROD.

Numerous devices are often used
throughout this country for detecting
the presence of underground water
devices ranging in completely from
the forked branch of witch hazel,
peach or other wood, to more or less
elaborate mechanical or electrical
contrivances. Many of the operators
of these devices are perfectly honest
in the belief that the working of the
rod is influenced by agencies entirely
independent of their own bodies, and
many uneducated people have i'm
plicit faith in their ability to locate
underground water in this way.
In experiments with rod of this
type, one of the biologists of the
United States Geological Survey
found that at points it turned down
ward independently of his will, but
more complete tests showed that the
downturning resulted from slight
and-until watched for-unconscious
changes in the inclination of his body
the effects of which were communi

to the rod. No movement of the roc
from causes outside the body coult
be detected and it soon became OBJ
vious that the view held by Other
men of science is correct that the
operation of the "divining rod" is
generally due to unconscious move
menus of the body or of the muscles
of the hand. The experiments made
show that these movements happen
most frequently at places where the
operators experience has led him tC
believe that water may be found. In
fact, it's operators are successful only
in regions in which ground water oc-
ours in definite sheet in porous ma
terial or in more or less clayey
deposits, such as the pebbly clay or
till in which, although few failures
occur, wells would get water any
where.
No appliance, either electrical or
mechanical, has yet been successfully
used for detecting water in places
where plain common sense or mere
guessing would not have shown its
presence just as well. The only adj
vantage of employing water witch "
as the operator of the divining rod
is sometimes called. is that skilled
services are obtained, most men so
employed being keener and better
observers of the occurrence and move
ments of ground water than the
average person.

THE POOR FARMER.

1t has not been long since the far
mer was derisively designated as a
"Rube" and 'hayseed." Today no
one has the presumption to speak
slightingly of the tiller of the soil.
1t is because conditions have changed.
Yesterday the farmer was commonly
termed "a back number" Today his
opinions are given hearing, his favor
is sought and his friendship is valued.
Times are different from what they
were a half century ago. The far
mer has benefited by these changes
as much, or possibly more, than any
other class of the nations producers.
Yesterday the farmer was isolated,
he lived miles from the cross roads
postofIice and general store. If he
had a letter to mail or purchase to
make, he had to take a day to make
the trip to the postoffice. The
semi-monthly or weekly paper was
his only guide to what was going on
in the world outside of his fields. His
home was usually bare of books, and
musical instrument was in sense
a luxury that but few could afford.
The boys got three months schooling
in the little red school house, in the
winter. The fields were titled by
primitive methods and the lightning
rod agent got the greater part of ev-
cry years profits. What the light
ming rod agent left, the gold brick
man took.
But times is changed" Today
the farmer gets his daily paper from
the distant city, and his other mail,
delivered to his home each day. He
has the telephone in the dining room.
and when anything is required, calls
up the general store and has it de-
livered the same day, or the follow
ing morning.
His correspondence is written with
a typewriter, and in his safe he cares
for those papers which he has not
deposited in the safety deposit vault
or the national bank.
The county and state governments
have given him hard, firm roads,
leading throughout his entire dis
trict. He frequently has his auto in
which to make flying trips here and
there
Today the farmers daughters are
accomplished musicians. They have
gone away to the state university, or
even to larger schools in the east or
the west. Some have gone abroad.
The boys go to Stanford, or to Har-
ward or to Yale. The farmer of a

THE BEST OF GOOD NEWS.

The announcement in The News
Yesterday morning that the great
companies in the coalition, and the
Nevada Northern railroad and the
smelter company had issued orders
for the increasing of forces all along
the line, was the best of good news.
There had been a feeling of inse-
curity for several days, which, opti-
mistic as the people of this camp are,
they were unable to entirely cast off.
Then a message was flashed over
the wires that the powers that be,
in New York, considered the financial
crisis passed, and that they had de-
termined on greater activity than had
been in effect for some time.
Local heads of the different actiyi-
ties were instructed to increase their
forces, and to push the Work forward
with all possible speed.
The message gave renewed hope to
the men of the district, and they
could be well excused for their en-
thusiastic celebration of the event.
This announcement strengthened
the confidence of those who were
wavering, and redoubled the loyalty
of those who have ever been loyal in
their belief of the present and future
greatness of the camp.

half century appreciates the value of
education and insists that his chill
dren shall have all the advantages.
The lightning rod agent and the
gold brick man are no longer the
wolves that fleece the farmer. If
they were to try their tricks on him
today he would get them into a
horse race and take his fleece to hang
on the back fence.
The lot of the farmer is somewhat
changed. Scientific study of his land,
the best method to till the soil, the
most profitable crops to raise; the
best methods of planting, cultivating
and harvesting these crops; the cir
culating scientific libraries; the in
terest the government has taken in
agriculture; the growth of culture
and the many advantages OF nlSner
civilization which he has helped to
produce and o. which he takes a gen.
erous share, have changed the far
mer's lot. 1ne farmer is satisfied,
and the other classes are satisfied.
The farmer is no longer by-word
and a theme for derision. He is to-
day one of the greatest bulwarks of
the greatest nation on earth-and he
knows it,

BUSY SCENES AT
 FIRST AND 10TH
A BIG FORCE WORKED ALL LAST NIGHT PUTTING IN NEW FROGS AND SWITCHES AT THIS PROMi- NEWT CORNER.

The corner Of First avenue and Twen- tleth street presented a busy appearance last night, and the changing of hammer on steel would have caused anyone to think he was in the middle of d large machine shop The cause of all this com- motion was the change which the street railway company is making in Its track at that point

That negroes could work quite So fas was not believed to be possible by q great many people. and caused quite d good deal of comment.

SON OF CORONER
 FINALLY ARRESTED
Unruly Boy Is Placed In Jail at the Instance of His Father on Charge
 of Vagrancy.

Leo Paris, the 17-year-old son of Coroner ". D. Paris, was "captured' yesterday morning about o'clock by Officer Hen derson of the police force and was locked up in the city jail to be held on orders from his father. Young Paris was caught while asleep in a room which he had rented at the Ellis hotel.
 Officer Henderson, while working his beat yesterday morning, happend to be in the Ellis hotel and while casually look Ing over the register he ran across the name of Leo Paris. Thinking that the boy might not be asleep he waited and telephoned the coroner and asked if he wanted him arrested The coroner an swered in the affirmative and the boy was soon in the city jail.
 Since young Paris left home last Friday, July ,, he has forged several checks, sign Ing his fathers name to them. The charge docketed against him, therefore, was that of forgery.
 Coroner Paris had the boy removed yes terday morning from the city jail to the county jaijl, and had charge of va grancy docketed against him at the coun- ty iail The boy seems to be of a wild and unruly disposition having given his father untold trouble, and Coroner Paris states that he has decided to tame the disobedient son.
