THE OWNING ROD.

:. Dowser's Wand.

r. Dowser's Wand.
In experimenting with a divlning
rod as used for discovering under.
ground supplies of water one OF the
biologists of the United States Geo.
10 ical Survey found that at points
it turned downward independently ui
his will, but more complete tests
showed that the downward turning
resulted from slight and-until
watched for-zunconscious changes In
the inclination of his body, the eff
fects of which were communicated
through the arms and wrist to the
rcd. No movement Of the rod, from
causes outside the body could be de-
tectei. and it soon became obvious
that the view he'd by other men of
science is correct-that the opera
ton of the "divining rod" is general
ly due to unconscious movements of
the body or of the muscles Of the
hand The experiments made show
Il at these movements happen most
frequently at places where the opera
tors experience has led him to be-
iieve that water may be found.
The uselessncss of the divining rod
Is indicated by the facts that the rod
may be worked at will by the opera
tor. that lie fails to detect strong
currents of water running in tunnels
and other channels that afford no sur
face ,idI.ations of water, and that mis-
locations il. limestone regions where
water flows in well defined channels
are rarely more successful than those
dependent on mere guesses. In fact
its Jrerators are successful only In
regiocs ir which round water occurs

or l. more or less clayey deposits,
such as the pebhly clay or till, In
which, although a few failures occur,
wells would get water anywhere.
Ground water occurs under certain
definite conditions, and as in humid
regions. stream may be predicted
wherever valley is known. so one
familiar with rocks and ground water
conditions may predict places where
ground water can be found. No ap-
pliance either electrical or mechani-
cal, has yet been successfully used

OF employing water witch" as the

Symbol of the Marble e Gallows.

You will read in "The Cloister and
the Hearth" of the gallows of white
marble and fine workmanship that
stood over against the dukes palace
IN Venice. 1t was there as an ever
present warning to the peoples chief
servant that If he was faithless to his
rust he would be hanged.
We are pleased to consider that
later period of the middle ages as
rude and simple In it's familiarity
with all forms of coldly administered
leath it would justify this unthought-
iul estimate. Yet even in that sinis-
Ter marble admonition Of vengeance
there is certain symbol of good
aith, of high ideals of public service,
that shows strong in any civilization.
With all our justly cherished pro-
grc-1 we might wish for as fine a
sense of honor in our public steward
ships.
Let us claim at once that the basis
On which our public service rests is
far better than it was In even the
italian civic republics. There Is not
the caste of birth; there is not now
the fatalistic classification of rank, at
least politically-and while there was
in the period Of the Renaissance a
reward for culture, learning, and arts
and craftsmanship, saill, today, we
have fairer field which many more
can enter But when that claim Is
made and allowed there was a cer-
tain something in the old noblesse
oblige which has not yet permeated
democracy as it can and must some
day pervade it.
A burgomaster in a free Dutch or
German city, :. duke or magistrate In
an oligarchical Italian republic, even
feudal lord in any country exempli-
fed respect for the obligations i'm
posed by his position that our expert
ence ha: shown us is not so prevalent
now. Let us acknowledge that much
in a system of government, frame
work OF society, which is happily left
behind. Let us admire the civic yir-
tue of those Venetians who "let no
man, not even their sovereign, be
above the common veal" And let
use realize that, even in the great ad-
vance in the social and political order
we have made since that fifteenth
century of 1.-THE Cloister and the
Hearth" there is still lacking the re-
spect for the place Of trust, thel fine
reverence for the common veal which
eventually will be the perfect flow
ers OF popular government.-kansas

Small Demonstration Farms.

The experiment of establishing small
demonstration farms to show what can
be done by following the rules laid
down by the agricultural department
will be tried first in Congressman
Madison's district in western Kansas
1t is Congressman SCOTS plan to
eventually have 100 one-acre demon
stration farms in each county in the
agricultural states. But this year the
experiments will be confined to two
farms in each county in Madison's
district, through arrangements made
by the Seventh district congressman
with the department of agriculture.
So far Is counties have taken adyant-
age of the offer Madison expects the
rest to send in their list of farmers
soon. The seed is that of crops which
the department experts believe viii
grow readily in that sections In the
extreme western part all sorts OF dry
land crops are to be tested, while in
the eastern part where the rainfall is
sufficient the experts will try to show
how the yields of present crops can
be increased The farmers agree to
cooperate permanently with the de
partment, and devote as much ground
as necessary to the project and cultf
vate the crops according to rules laid
down by government experts.

A DOG HERO.
Swan Out to Ship and Brought Life
Line to Shore.

A vessel was once driven upon the
coast of England. The sea was very
high and there was no possible way to
put a boat off to rescue the men, who
could be seen clinging to the wreck
Presently gentleman came up with
a great Newfoundland dog Placing
stick of wood in the dogs mouth, he
motioned toward the wreck.
The dog Immediately obeyed his
masters command and swan bravely
out to sea. He found, however. that
he could not get near enough to de-
liver the stick. While he was padding
along. one of the crew of the doomed
vessel threw a rope to him.
Instantly the intelligent dog knew
what was required of him. He let go
the piece of wood, grasped the end OF
the rope in his mouth, and soon made
the shore. Thanks to the noble animal
all were saved.
