Tunney- Heeney fight Thursday night

Leonard J. Reinhardt of East Orange,

The other was Thomas F. Burley,

Scientists Froun on

ments guaranteed to find diamonds,
gold, silver and other metals, and
especially buried treasure. The claims
Of vendors Of mineral rods and other
devices said TO be effective in locating
precious metals and buried treasure
are considered fraudulent by the geo

miners compass has been used with
some success in prospecting for iron
and other magnetic ores, but the sue

quires considerable experience In sur

Of electrical prospecting devices, the
seismoTaph and the torsion balance,
have aroused considerable interest
during the last few years. These de-

Military Wnfchea

In early Hebrew history, about 1900
years ago, II was the custom OF the
tribes, which then lived In camps
which they moved rom place to
place, TO set a watch against surprise
attacks by rowing bands Of robbers
from the north. They divided their
nights into convenient watches OF
about four hours each. II appears
that they adopted the custom from
military practices then prevailing.
Military custom calls for two-hour
watches as being safer because there
is less likelihood that the soldier on
guard win become tired, sleepy or
otherwise Indifferent to the Importance
OF his task.
