By RAMON COLEMAN.

The old-fashioned pump has not
yet passed away. 1t is used on mil
lions Of farms, and may be seen In
some small villages.
When a house is built at dis
tance from a city, one big problem
is the water supply. A well must
be dug near the house.
Several years ago visited board
ing school in Western Ohio, and the
principal said to me:
when we were drilling for water,
we did not strike it. Instead we
came to a supply of natural gas.
Ever since, we have been using the
gas for cooking and for heating
water.
Water was located by drilling
elsewhere on the property. me gas
we'll was a fortunate find, but the
school could not have got along if
water had not been discovered.
Even to this day there are men
and women who earn money by
serving as water witches" or "di-
viners." They claim to be able to
locate good places for wells to be
drilled.
The diviner carries a so-called
rod" usually a forked witch-hazel
branch. He says that the rod tits
in his hands and guides him to the
right spot.
Recently read about a diviner in
Egypt who was looking for water
when he dropped the rod by acci-
dent. A hole was dug at the spot
where it fell. No water was located

inches high at the shoulder. They
are short-legged, but this does not
prevent them from making excel
lent speed. The horns of the male
are very heavy, their bases meeting
at the top of the head and curving
downward and up again. The head
and body are covered with a dense
name, most Of 1t matted and quite
curly on the shoulders; on the rest
Of the body the hair is straight. al
most reaching the ground. 1t Is so
thick that cold and moisture can
not penetrate it.
The color of the hairy coat IS very
dark brown or almost black. A
much darker shade marks the sad
dle-shaped patch on the back, as
we'll as the short hair between the
horns. Below the knees and hooks,
the color is yellowish white. Ears
and tail are hidden by the hair.
The old males have strong
musky odor, but the females have
little of it. Hunters report, how
ever, that the fat animals of both
sexes are almost free from 1t.
Eskimos and Arctic explorers are
greatly indebted to the musk OK.
The flesh is said to be Of excellent
flavor; the milk IS as good as cows
milk, and the long wooly coat is
highly valued by the Eskimos
Peary's records reveal: I'm 1899, the
finding Of a herd Of musk oxen
saved the lives Of my entire party"
Musk oxen like to associate to-
gether in herds Of from 20 to as
many as 100. These groups are
larger in winter. During the sum-
mer, the older bulls prefer to be
alone. The cows and calves go
about in small herds. There is one
calf born In May or June, and 1t is
said by the natives that there is a
difference Of years Of age between
each calf. This would account for
the slow rate of increase.
During the summer, the herd
lives almost exclusively on the ten
der leaves of the willows. Grass,
moss and lichens also are con-
sumed. In the winter, tree bark
must be their sole source of food.
