pivinina Rod 200 Years Old.

Winslow w. Fifeld of Medford,
Mass, owns a metallic divining rod
brought from England more than two
hundred years ago by one of his an
cestors. The rod, says Mr.. Fifeld, has
been used successfully all over New
England and in the western mining
districts. 1t is attached to whalebone
handles IL inches long and weighs two
ounces. The handles have inscriptions
on them which are almost obliterated
by age.
The person who brought the rod to
America was Isaac G~reenleaf, who set
tied in Massachusetts,. The rod became
famous as a finder of water. After
marking the place of many springs the
rod was used in California, Colorado
and North Carolina for locating by men
in quest of gold mines and other met
ais. One person who used 1t with par

Experiments Disprove the

Interesting Facts Learned by
U. Of Michigan Professor.
Brain Increases in Size When We
Sleep-..Arteries DiIate.

Detroit. Mich, Jan. 21.-EXperiments
at the University of Michigan overturn
d long accepted theory as to the cause
of sleep. 1t has been said that natural
loss of consciousness is due to les
sered flow of blood to the brain. Prof.
Nj. r. Wcntley says his experiments
show the opposite. His summary of
what has been demonstrated is:
The size or volume of the brain in
creascs when the individual goes tc
sleep and decreases when he awakes.
The size of the hands and feet increases
when the man is asleep and becomes
smaller when he is awake. In some
cases the brain becomes smaller at
first and then increases as sleep be-
comes deeper.
Striking evidence is furnished that
the size of the arterial pulse from the
brain increases steadily with increase
in volume, that is, the dilating of the
arteries after each beat of the heart
is more pronounced. This is particu

INTER-CiTY RACES.
Proposition to Hold Them at Tacoma
Lakes in LitchfieId.

General Manager Ivers of the Lewis
ton, Augusta g. Waterville Street Rail-
way has made an attractive PROPOSE
ton to the Lewiston and Auburn and
the kcnn"hec Central Driving Clubs
with IA view of having inter city ice
races held at Tacoma Lakes, in Litch-
field. and the matter is just ut present
the subject of quite an amount of dis
cussion by the members or the TWO
clubs. Mr.. Ivcrs made a trip to the
lakes Thursday in company with some
OF the officials of the Lewiston and
Auburn Driving club and after look
ing over the territory in question it
was the opinion of the party that
Sand pond would make an ideal spot
for winter racing.
The proposition made by Manager
lvers is that the railroad company
will transport the horses of the two
clubs to and from the lake furnish
accommodations for the horses. and
open Tacoma Inn for the convenience
of the people who attend the races.
1t is also planned to offer cups for
individual prizes to be owned by the
winners. and to offer Tacoma cup to
be wrn and held by the club winning
Ii under such conditions as may be
agreed upon.
The proposition will be brought be-
fore the Lewiston and Auburn Driv-
Ing club at its meeting next Monday
evening. and it is said that the mem
bers OF the kenncbec Central Driving
Clnb are willing 10 enter into the pro-
1ect II the proposed plans are carried
out. Vt is understood however that
there is a feeling on the part of mem
hers of both clubs that as long as the
hcrSes are to be transported as far as
Tacoma Lakes it would be Just as
we'll to carry them clear through to
Lewiston or Augusta, in whichever
city the races are to be held.
So far as the race track itself is
concerned there is no doubt that Sand
pond would furnish a desirable loca-
ton. but the horsemen believe that
the holding of races there would he
accompanied by disadvantages which
would not be encountered at either
Hallowell or Lewiston. The facilities
Tor witnessing the races on the lake
as compared with those of the two
places mentioned. must of necessity
be very limited. The spectators would

all the afternoon, which would not be

dies. large number of whom are in
tereStcd and attend the races held in
the two cities, where they can COM

sleigh ride. which latter feature would

Holding series of races on the ice
tracks at Hallowell and Lewiston will
furnish sport for a large number of
people. both tracks being easily 'ac-
cessible. and while the novelty of a
race at Sand pond might call out quite
number of people once or twice I'M

thought that everything considered.
the holding of the inter-city races at
Hallowell and Lewiston would give
far more satisfaction to the rank and
file of the race-going public of the
cities concerned.
