ECLIPSE ACCOMPANIED
" BY LUNAR CORONA

Hundreds of Honolulu citizens
rubbed their eyes last night while
watching the eclipse Of the moon ana
asked the nearest :neighbor If they
were seeing things" The eclipse
started at 10 o'clock and shortly after,
the watchers saw a beautiful lunar
corona completely encircling the
moon. The colors of the corona
were dimmed a little BY the fleecy
white clouds about the moon. The
clouds ,drifted away and the corona
disappeared for it was the moons
rays on the moisture in the clouds
which caused the spectacle. The
eclipse continued. The shadow Of the
earth crept slowly across the silvery
moons face, covered it and then the
moon slid bit by bit from beneath
the shade and by midnight was shin
ing brightly once more.

Services of Water Witch-Complete
History Given.
History Given.

The idea that n forked twig or so
called divining rod, is useful in locat-
ing minerals, finding hidden treasure.
or detecting criminals is a curious super
stition that has been a subject of dis
cussion since the middle of the six
teenth century and still has a strong
hold on the popular mind, even in
this country. This is evident from the
large number of inquiries received each
year by the United States geological
survey, department Of the interior, as
to the efficacy of such a twig, especially
for locating underground water. To
furnish reply to these inquiries the
geological survey has published a brief
paper, by Arthur j. Ellis, on the history
of water witching, with a photography
that includes a truly astonishing num-
Der of books and pamphlets on this I'M
canny subject
In summary the paper states: It is
doubtful whether so much investigation
and discussion have been bestowed on
any other subject with such absolute
lack of positive results. 1t is difficult
to see how for practical purposes the
entire matter could be more thoroughly
diseredited. 1t is by no means true
: that all persons using a forked twig
or some other device for locating water
or other minerals are intentional de-
| ccivers. Some of them are doubtles
men of good character and benevolent
intentions. However, as anything that
can be deeply yelled in mystery affords
a good opportunity for swindlers, there
| can be no reasonable doubt that many
