several feet away. This experiment was repeated Intellectually by others and was again shown upon table and soup-p1ate upon which the gold divining-rod was sufficient to break the plate in many pieces Others tried to perform the experiment without great success.
 Showing the transmission of radio activity through other Bodies when proper medium was used, von Graeve formed a circle of hands, one other besides himself grasping handle or the rod. As much as man might re- sist the action of the rod. it slowly turned over.
 While it is true that grasping the | instrument in the palms of the np- ward-turned hands anyone could Sc cure the same action by exerting mus cular pressure upon any wooden or | metal rod of the same shape, von Graeve contends that he does not so use that muscular pressure, but that l the rod moves naturally and there were none to contest that assertion
 Ending his preliminary statement l with the assertion that while he is acting as medium his pulse rose to 120 beats to the mfnure and that he was able to smoke but not to talk much owing to the calculations he was compelled to make the expedition started over the precipitous cliffs and
 
 by Ira Brooks, foreman at the closed mill and his brother, James Brooks. a Woodsnan; both of whom had long been in the mining business. They
 were equipped with axes and stakes. the latter being found useless owing to the frost in the ground
 As the party ascended the hill back i Of the crushers, von Graeve with se-
 rious mein held the divining, rod ex-
 tended. At point directly back of the stamping mill and abreast of the
 scared quarried face of the cliff, the 1 instrument turned in his hand and the 1 experimenter announced that he had found a vein of silver. A mark was
 made with. the axe upon sapling.
 Approaching from the opposite direc- l ton the divining rod again turned I within nine feet Of the previous mark.
 It was announced that the vein at
 that point was nine feet in width
 Further experiments up the hillside kshoWed that the vein ran east and l west Determinations was then sought
 as to the depth of stfe vein Won Graeve explained that radio io-actiyity
 always emanated rom a source, that l trayeling in the same direction with
 the flow of current no determina ton could be made He cited the instance
 of persons taking Hum -baths at
 places in Germany. The only good re 1 suits could be secured at the source | Of supply, and not through the me 1 dium of bottled wafer.
 l As the source of supply the radio Lactivity within the earth was often 1 circumscrfbed by the operation of oth- CT metals like iron. copper and su1- phur in the path of that ycmanated by silver, it was necessary to proceed in a direction at right angles to the source and secure the depth by means | of trigonometry.a Consequently he took
 the aluminium rod which operated in opposition to the activity and ascer- tafned from complex calculation that the vein lay between 56G and 400 feet
 Beneath the surface
 I He said that the silver was prob ably mixed with many other minerals I such as tungsten, lead, iron, and pos
 sib1y copper which are always found
 associated with silver 1odes. Passing sl over the old shafts which had been blocked up with heavy felled timber
 and skirtdng upwards and around the hill in a. westerly direction von Graeve I conveying in 3. central direction.
 Passing the old drifts and shafts, sam
 pies of the quartz were examined
 which showed concIusively, according s to von sGraeve. the presence of the tiVariOIlS metals in some degree. The
 quantity per ton could only be showed
 by assay. At the main shaft near the ssummit it was said that while in for
 mer operation the output showed a
 purity of 85 per cent tungsten. Fl Von Graeve concluded his expedi-
 -tion by. announcing that there was
 a considerable quantity of silver be- meath the hill and probably extend ing for many miles in different direc-
 tions, but that it would be closer to tthe surface upon the hill itself where i volcanic action had brought it direct T ly upwards. He announced that his
 investigations had been carried on in
 the most cursory manner. but that if
 he was hired later. to go into the mat
 ter in retail he would do so as he had done in attempting to locate water
 forthe Canadian government in the .,3 Northwest. He was at the present time on his return from a Journey in
 the west about which he refused to .-i talk until his reports had been sub- nitted to those who employed him.
 That water ran in large streams be- heath the hill. he asserted from his third test which showed it to run $. D. and N w.
 If the tests that were made by this scientist about whom the press of the United States have recently had much to say and whose science cannot be demonstrated in, exact manner ow- ing to the power which is claimed can be exerted only through those suscep- tIble to rad1um rays, the presence o1 } silver in the hills surrounding Trum- bull and Long Hill are assured. It is said, however, that von Graeve'e statements in this country are yet un- !, verified, although it is asserted that in Germany his experiments in Iocat- ing phosphate beds and water have
 been proven quite true.
 The New York Sunday Sun recently devoted much space to von Graeve's power and he has been the guest oi many scientific societies where his ? power has been discussed at length ? There are many who fail to ascribe tc 5 him the power he claims. He is will } ing at all times to meet scoffers cd f his art for the pufpoee of convincing l them
