Apparatus for Finding Water.


The hazel twig as a water finder has
been supplanted by remarkable in.
vention, consisting of simple ap
paratus. The principle on which the
instrument works is the measuring OF
the strength of electric currents
between the earth and the atmos
phere. These are always strongest in
the vicinity of subterranean water
courses, the flowing waters of which
are charged with electricity to a GER
tain degree. The apparatus takes
the form of box-shaped instrument
fixed on tripod, with dial on which
a needle is Used to Indicate the pres
ence of water. If the needle remains
stationary it may be taken for grant
cd that no subterranean spring ex
lists; the spot where the greatest
movement of the needle is obtained is
that where we'll boring operations
should be made.

FOREIGNERS INTERESTED
 IN AMERICAN EDUCATION

Canadian educators are impressed with the facilities for educational in- formation in the United States Dr. David Coloan, principal of the Nova Scotia Normal School, considers the Federal Bureau of Education at Washington one of the best and read fest Sources of information about the schools of Canada.
 pr. Soloan is not the first educator who has paid tribute to the wisdom of Congress in providing a central bu- reau for the diffusion of educational information, but as an expert O. cd ucation his opinion deserves to be quoted. After speaking of. the his tory of education in the United States as .sillustrious,s and describing the part of the Government, through it's Bureau of Education. has played, he says: .It has saved uncalculated smil- lions to educational effort merely through it's punctua1 record of, each and every educational enterprise; ev- cry attempted reform, every individ- ual initiative. It has prevented du- p1ication of experiment, reported ed- ucational progress in foreign coun- tries, sifted statistics, and from con ficting reports gathered the facts the leaders of education m America need ed to be certified of.''
 Education is international. No matter how local and national certain of it's problems may be. the funda : menta1s of education are identical in all civilized countries; and it is sure ly worth knowing that in this in- ternational exchange of ideas the United States bears no small part.

New York, June s.-As the result of

ultra wealthy in their most sensitive

result has had them actually begging
