A pale, shabby young fellow leaped
past the line Of police into the open
space and rushed straight for the re-
serves. His long, thin arm was lifted
high In the air clutching a black thing
with a lighted fuse sparkling from its
crest.
A murmur rippled through the crowd,
the police stood still and stared. and the
next moment the bomb exploded In

the stones a msngled heap OF torn

"Of course not" she replied simply.

conscious movements Of the body

The experiments made show that

quently at places where the
operators experience has led him
to believe that water may be
found.
The uselessness of the divining
rod is indicated by the facts that
it may be worked at will by the
operator, that he fails to detect
strong water currents in tunnels
and other channels that afford
no surface indications of water,
and that his locations in lime
stone regions where water flows
in well-defned channels are no
more successful than those de-
pendent on mere guess. In fact,
its operators are successful only
in regions where in which ground
water occurs in a definate sheet
of porous material or in more or
less clayey deposits, such as peb-
bly, clay or till. In such regions
few failures can occur, for wells
can get water almost anywhere.
The only advantage of employ
ing a water witch" as the
operator of the diyining rod is
sometimes called, is that crudely
skilled services are thus occa-
sionly obtained. for the men so
employed, if endowed with any
natural aptitude, become through
their experience in locating wells
shrewd, if sometimes uncons-
cious observers of the occurrence
and movements of ground water.

The Divining Rod

The United States Geological
Survey states in Water-Supply
Paper 255, entitled Under
ground Waters for Farm Use, "
just reissued, that no appliance,
either mechanical or electric, has
yet been devised that will detect
water in places where plain COM
mon sence and close observation
will not show its presence just
as well. Numerous mechanical
devices have been proposed for
detecting the presence of under
ground water, ranging in COM
plexity from the simple forked
branch of witch hazel peach or
other tree to more or less elabor-
ate mechanical or electric con-
trivances. Many of the opera
tors of these devices, especially
those who use the home-cut fork
ed branch, are entirely honest IN
the belief that the working of
the rod is influenced by agencies
usually regarded as electric
currents following underground
streams of water that are en-
tirely Independent of their own
bodies, and many people have
implicit faith in their own and
others ability to locate under
ground water in this way. In
experiments with a rod made |
from forked branch it seemed !
to turn downward at certain
points independent of the opera
tors will, but more complete
tests showed that this downturn
ing resulted from slight and, un-
til watched for, unconscious mus
cular action, the effects of which
were communicated through the
arms and wrists TO the rod. No
movement of the rod from causes
outside of the body could be de-
tected, and it soon became OBJ |

(From Our Portland Corresponden)

An important conference at
which the whole Pacific Coast
should be represented, will be
that of the National Conference
Of Charities & Corrections, to be
held in Seattle next July. This
gathering will take up the sub
ject of dealing with the immigra-
ton to come to this Coast upon
the completion of the Panama
Canal.
A heavy food of European inn
migrants will bring a long list of
evils in their trail unless some i'm
telligent work is done in direct
ing the movement, it is said.
The aim of the conference will be
to do away with the slums that
the Atlantic Coast cities have
built up and to direct the new
comers to the farms and vacant
lands instead of having them
congest in the population CEN
ters. The conference will be at
tended by men of national re-
putation in philanthropic work.
Forest reserves in Oregon will
contribute a total of $42, $50 to
the state in 1912. Most of this
money goes to the state road
work and it is derived from the
sale of timber within the forest
reserves, a certain percentage of
which goes to the state in which
the reserves are located.
Oregon cheese took honors at
the recent National Dairy Show
at Chicago, winning second hon.
ors in a competition with 800
samples of the cheese makers art
from all parts of the country.
This, too, in spite of the fact
that the long shipment to the
city of Chicago, took off three
points in the score given this
states products which was 95A
out of a possible 100.
Oregon apples are invading the
far corners of the world this sea-
son. A ship leaving New York
for Buenos Ayres recently had a
large shipment on board. This
fruit will travel 10, 600 miles from
the orchard before it reaches the
consumer. A car load of Grande
Ronde Valley apples has been
sent to Norway lately. Besides,
there is the usual strong demand
from many other parts of Europe
and the Orient is also taking
fruit.
The Country Life movement,
so successful last year through
out the state, whereby thousands
of school children were interest
ed in gardening contests, will be
continued this year. Poultry
raising is to be made a specially.
Attention is called so the fact
that not less than 81 900, 600 was
sent away from the state last
year to pay for the poultry and
eggs brought here and this
money; is Is held, may just as
well be kept at home.
The possibilities of broomcorn
growing in Eastern Oregon have
been made known the past week
when samples were submitted to
a Portland broom manufacturer.
1t is said that 1000 pounds of
the corn can be grown on an
acre, and as several hundred car
loads of the material are brought
into the state each year, there
seems to be a chance for farm
ers to make money growing it
here at home.
