QUIET KNOX Senator Philander C. Knox of Pennsylvania does things quietly and easily, but none the less effect ively. Some years ago Ex-President Harrison called upon him u his Pittsburg office. "I have been requested to ask you to serve as my associate in some Cincinnati street cases," said General Harrison, "and I hope you will accept. Knox signified his willingness to do so and suggested that they pool fees and divide equally. "No," responded Harrison; "I will take my fee and you get yours." After the litigation was ended Harrison called again on Knox. "Well," he said in a satisfied way, "I did pretty well in that case I received a check for $25,000." "Is that all?" quietly asked Knox. "I received $100,000. If you had pooled as I originally sug gested, general, you would have got $02,500." THE PRESIDENT'S "BOSS." President Roosevelt occasionally confesses that he meets a man he cannot dominate. Among this class is Senator Philander C. Knox of Pennsylvania. When Knox was at torney general he would prepare his law opinions with great care and take them over to the White House. The president entertained and still entertains great respect for the Pennsylvaniaa's ability as a lawyer, but he sometimes crew restive when the latter refused to modify his views. "My cabinet is supposed to be djj advisers," he said one day. 'Technically that is correct, but that man" pointing to Knox is my boss." Use of the Divining Rod. Numerous devices are used throughout this country for detect ing the presence of underground water devices ranging in complex ity from the forked branch of witch hazel, peach or other wood, to more or lean elaborate mechanical or electrical contrivance".. Many of the operators of these devices, es pecially those tbat use the homo-cut forked branch, are perfectly honest in the belief-that the working of the rod is influenced by agencies usually regarded ns electric currents following underground streams of water that are entirely independ ent of their bodies and many uned ucated people have implicit faith in their ability to locate underground water in this way. In experiments with a rod of this type one of tho geologists of the United States Geological Survey found that at points it turned down ward independently of his will, but more complete tests showed that the downturning resulted from slight and uutil watched lor uncon scious changes in the inclination of his body, the effects of which were communicatod through the arms and wrists to the rod. No move ment of the rod from causes out side the body could be detected, and it soon became obvious that the view held by other men of science is correct that the operation of the "divining rod" is generally due to unconscious movemonts of the body or of the muscles ot the hand The experiments made show that these movements Lappen most fre quently at places where tho opera tor's experience has led him to be lieve that water may be found. The uselessness of the divining rod is indicated by the facts that the rod may be worked at will by the op erator, that he fails to detect strong currents of water running in tun nels and other channels that afford no surface indications ot water and that his locations in limestone reg ions where water flows in well tie fined channels are rarely more suc cessful than those dependent on mere guesses. In fact, its operators are successful ouly in regions in which ground water occurs iu a del- inite sheet in porous material or io more or less clayey deposits, Biich as the pebbly cUy or till iu which, although a few failures occur, wells would get water anywhero. Ground water occurs under cer tain definite conditions, as in hu mid regions a stream may be pre dicted wherever a valley is known, so one familiar with rocks and groundwater conditions may pre- KILLthe couch ano CURE the LUNCS wi Dr. King's Now Discovery PRICE U K yyirT13 wo tim OLDS Trial Bottle Free AND ALL THROAT AND LUNG TROUBLES GUARANTEED SATISFACTORY OB MONET REFUNDED.

No appliance, either electrical or mechanical, has yet been successfully used lor detect ing water in places where plain common sense or mere guosslug would not have shown its presence just as well. Tho only ndvautnge of employing a "water witch," as the operator of the divining rod is sometimes called, is that skilled services are obtained, most meu so employed beiug keener and hotter observers of the occurrences and movements of groundwater than the average person.
