THE OWNING ROD,
No Mysterious Virtues Hidden In the
Dowser's Wand.

NO mysterious virtues Hidden In tht
Dowser's Wand.
In experiments with a divining rod
as used for discovering underground
supplies of water one of the geolo
gists Of the United States geological
survey found that at points it turned
, downward independently of his will
but more complete tests showed that
the down turning resulted from slight
and-until watched for-unconscious
changes In the inclination of his body,
the effects of which were communi-
Gated through the arms and wrists to
the rod. No movement of the rod from
causes outside the body could be de-
tected, and 1t soon became obvious
that the view held by other men of
science Is correct, that the operation
Of the "divining rod" is generally due
to unconscious movements of the body
or Of the muscles of the hand. The ex-
periments made show that these move
ments happen most frequently at
places where the operators experience
has led him to believe that water NAV
be found.
The uselessness Of the divining 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 surface indica-
tons Of water and that his locations
In limestone regions where water flows
in well defined channels are rarely
more successful than those dependent
on mere guesses. In fact, its operators
are successful only in regions 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, although few
failures occur, wells would get water
anywhere.
Ground water occurs under certain
definite conditions, and as in humid
regions a stream may be predicted
wherever valley is known, so one ia
mtliar with rocks and ground water
conditions may predict places where
ground water can be found. No appli-
ance either electrical or mechanical
has yet been successfully used for de-
tecting water in places where plain
common sense or mere guessing would
not have shown its presence Just as
well. The only advantage Of employ
ing water WITCH" as the operator
of the divining rod is sometimes call
ed, is that skilled services are obtain
ed, most men so employed being keen
err and better observers Of the occur
renee and movements of grou,,d water
than the average person.

Crop Rotation In Illinois.

Neither ground limestone nor steam.
ed bone meal nor raw natural rock
phosphate will ever injure the land.
but the benefit to be derived from the
use Of these materials alone is tempo
rary in continuous grain growing, and
no profitable and permanent system of
agriculture can be adopted for Illinois
which does not include a rotation of
crops with liberal use of legumes,
and it Is exceedingly good practice to
make and use as much farm manure as
possible.-Cyril E. Hopkins.

DRYING APPLES.

tive In Appearance.
In evaporating apples it is a common
practice to treat the floor of the kilr
and the racks with tallow to prevent
the fruit from sticking. The tempera
ture maintained in kilns or oEler dry.
Ing compartments In actual practice Is
largely a matter Of experience, not a
factor governed by any definite stand.
ards or regulated in accordance with
thermometer readings, as might be ex-
pected. In general the object in view
Ia to force the heat as high as possible
without endangering the fruit prob
able temperature which has been sug-
gested by some Of the operators is $50
degrees f. or more when the fruit Is
first put into the drying compartment,
dropping to about 125 degrees f. as
the drying process nears completion
Sufficient and proper provision for CON
trolling the indraft Of cold air below
the fruit will aid in maintaining the
desired temperature.
Turning tho Fruit

ing must be kept In mind and the fruit
handled accordingly. 1t should be ex-
amined from time to time and turned
often enough to prevent scorching or
sticking and to insure uniform drying
In the case of the tower evaporators
und other types in which the fruit is
handled on racks no turning more
than an occasional stirring of the fruit
with the hand or with small wooden
paddle is required. Sometimes the
relative positions of the racks are
changed to make the drying more uni
form. This is one reason why the
tower dried fruit is generally of rather
better quality than that from kilns.
The repeated turning on the kiln floor
Is likely to make the fruit more or less
mussy, while in that which remains
practically undisturbed on the racks
the rings are maintained In better con-
dition. The fruit also dries more
quickly and is often of better color
than the kiln evaporated product, and
hence Is more attractive in appearance.
The same general principles must be
observed In tending the fruit where
steam heat is used in place of direct |
hot air from furnaces.-H. P. Gould.

The explanation wearied Hemmer.
and, besides, he didn't understand any
Of it except that the Chinaman was
named Chin Kung Gin, and was a cook
and lived at 20 Mott street; and. any
way, Chin had a liquid style OF con-
versational delivery like a seller
siphon. and when he put his face close
to Hemmer's and talked fast Hemmer
felt as II he we're taking the needle

for the wagon and they all went down
to the West One Hundred and Fifty

FIRST drunken Chinaman he ever saw

(Gin) was drunk enough to make up
for all the Cinnamon he (Kernochan)
ever saw that we're sober.
And Gin. through an Interpreter
said the diagnosis was quite correct
and then he retired to the prison pen
and sat down carelessly on the steam
heater and got right up again, as al
ready described. and patted himself
on the reverse side. It IS opined that
