Traces Currents of Water Under the Ground
Skeptic Becomes Believer, Upon Witnessing Performan ces of D.'M. Watson and His Magnetic Divining Rod.
PT A CONVERTED SKEPTIC
WHEN I took Oregon- water
wizard to Mount Scott yester
day to seek a spot for well. I
rlung proudly to my skepticism and my
prejudice, though I was polite erfough
to hide both from him. When I
brought him back to town. I had left
my doubts behind and was resolved to
dig that well Just where he pointed
with his magnetic wand to the water
vein beneath.
The average man feels certain freedom
in doubt and thraldom In belief; therefore,
that It Is brave to scoff and that skepti
cism offers a loophole. In case of failure,
from dreaded I-told-you-so's.
But one needs no such loophole, when
I. M. Watson tells him where to dig
well or uncover a spring. No man who
hat followed his lead has ever failed to
And water In the spot designated. I
Mr. Watson can spy out water flowlnc
In a pipe burled underground, why
should he not spy It out when there l
no pipe? Indeed ha should, and that Is
what he dors. He did it yesterday on
land he never had set foot on before
and then to convince the writer, he fol
lowed the very veins of water the lat
ter had dug last Summer In developing
n spring and the very tube of Iron pipe
that Is used to carry the spring water
to a house half a mile away. The
ground bore no outward mark of the
direction of the pipe.
The reader of tnese lines who scotrs
doesn't know what he scoffs at: he
doesn't know Mr. Watson nor his elec
tric wand. Possibly he thinks It the old
divining rod the branch of hasel or
willow or r"h with which quack
water witches and wlsards have pre
tended to mystify. In superstitious days
of the past.
Mr Watson's device consists or an
electric battery In his pocket, a flexible
wand with a handle on each end. and
himself, constituting a magnet. When
he connects himself and the battery and
wsnd together and walks over the
ground the wand turns and twists In
his hands. It leans In the direction of
the water artery and when he crosses,
it twists In hl hands. Friction of the
flowing water sets up a magnetic energy,
to which a slmllsr energy in the human
magnrt and the wsnd respond- Not ev
ery person p.-ssesp the peculiar mag
netic force necessary to operate the In
strument. That Is why only those gifted
can use it. -
Many vears this magic has been- in
the -service of Mr. Watson. He has
looted a large number of wells with
It. and every person who has followed
hit guidance haa found water. On his
father's farm he found a copious un
derground flow of water, which hl
father had been unahle to locate dur
ing a lifetime of effort. Recently he
vilted the fruit farm of a friend near
Hood Hiver who 'didn't have much
faith In the magic, but was willing to
dig anywhere to get water. The pre
cious fiuld waa discovered at a depth of
ITS feet.
The electric rod points out not only
water but also metals and oil. By
means of a special battery Mr. Wat
son locates lead, zinc and free-milling
gold ledges: also all sand deposits that
are magnetic, by mineral action. But
In one important respect he fails; he,
cannot tell the value of the mineral.
That must be determined by other
methods.
That the wand some day will he as
copious a source of wealth as Alad
din's lamp, his friends firmly believe.
Terhsps he thinks so. too. Recently It
took him to underground . mineral
springs on the bank of the Columbia
l:iver rear Collins. Mind you. there
was not a sign of those mineral springs
on the surface of the ground when he
first went there.. He has dug a series
of wells and obtained mineral water
of a temperature of : degrees- But
that la not hot enough for him. so ha
Is digging another. When he find the
hot water he will build a hotel right
by It.
When we first set out with the wand
enough skepticism, was In me to try some
hard test on Mr. Watson. I thought a
l..ng ttme in order to devise some way
of disproving his magic. Finally I hit
upon the following scheme: I would
take Mr. Watson over a burled pipe line
through which water was flowirg. I
would not tell him the water waa there,
nor would he know there was any pipe,
at all. The V'Pe wa ona Inch In diam
eter The lower end I would causa to
be opened secretly, so that there, woulj
be a flow of about nine gallona a min
ute That would set up enough frlc
tlonal energy. I thought, for Mr. Wat
son to detect with his precious wand.
Would he feel the water? I very much
doubted.
We were riding In a- buggy. Before,
crossing the water tune I asked Mr. Wat
son to get ready his Instrument, as 1
wactei O ttat the water. Mr. Watson
complied. We approached the lino of
pipe. There was a forward bending or
the wand; we crossed the pine; the wand
twisted.
"There Is water here," he said, "not
more than ten feet beneath us. It rs
quite a strong vein of water, too."
The real distance from water was five
feet from Mr. Watson's hands to the
ground, plus two feet under the earth,
making seven feet. That was a close
guess. I didn't tell him the water was
In a pipe. I was ashamed to let him
know the game I had put up on him.
We proceeded to the spot where I had
excavated a spring having made a reser
voir twenty feet In diameter and six feet
deep. In digging I had found the spring
supplied by four or five separate arteries
of -water. I thought I would test Mr.
Watson's magic again by having him
point out the channels through which the
water entered the reservoir. The water
stood five feet deep and the reservoir
was covered by a roof, so that the chan
nels were all concealed.
Mr. Watson pointed out each of the
water veins, one by one. with unerring
precision. He showed where some dis
tance above water was flowing under
the ground, and -then he traced it down
to the reservoir. Along that very course
I had dug a trench and laid drain tile
to convey the water to the reservoir.
Mr. Watson could not see the tile; It was
burled three feet underground.
"Right here." he remarked, pointing to
one part of the reservoir, "the water Is
flowing out."
Sure enough It was. but he could not
see that either. The outlet pipe waa
taking water out of the reservoir at that
very point at the rate of nine gallons
a minute. It was burled underground
five feet and Mr. Watson could have seen
It only with X-ray eyes.
The magician reconnoitered and soon
put me In possession of very valuable
Information.
"You get considerable water here,", said
he. "but only part of the main vein. The
other part goes off In another direction,
past your reservoir, along the side hill.
The two water channels part up there."
pointing to the place. "If you will sink
a well there you will Intercept all the
water of this large vein."
Thte waa indeed valuable information.
I thought that I had been getting all
the water In that vicinity. I needed more
but did not suppose It was available.
Possibly I may now get three gallons
where I got only one before.
On another part of my land farther up
the hill I have no water. If nature would
onlv let water flow up hill I should have
a bonanza, but as that has been impos-
slble during the million years, more or
less, that men have dwelt on the earth.
I shall not expect -It In my case. Tile
only substitute ie a well on the higher
ground. That is what I want and what
I asked Mr. Watson to help' me get.
His first information was almost' dis
maying. "Here is a strong supply of
water," he remarked, as his wand twisted
in his hands, "but you must dig probably
100 feet for It." .
That was too deep, so we proceeded.
The flexions of the wand marked
several lesser veins, which Mr. Wateon
thought might be 50 feet or.so under
ground. Finally he traced tivfc of them
up the hill uTotll they came together.
Then he stopped, . planted his heel and
said:
"Dig here; there's water at about 36
feet."
Mr. Watson does not profess to know
how deep wells must be dug. He says hla
wand does not tell him. He can only
guess by the flexions.
I shall end this article with an episode
to prove again the power of the magic
rod. A year ago & store on Washing
ton street found a considerable flow of
water entering its basement from the
street. Evidently the water came from
some pipe connected with the city water
mains, since that could be the only con
ceivable source of the supply. Men came
from the water department, consulted
their maps and records and went away.
They could not find the source of the
leak and their maps and records showed
no pipe near the troublesome spot.
Finally Mr. Watson one night (he dis
likes; working before the gaze of the pub
lic) came and applied his wand. Next
day he told the water men to dig up
the street pavement In a certain spot
and they would find the water leak. They
scoffed and said the leak at that place
was Impossible.
"If you don't find It there," : replied
the wizard, "I'll pay for the street pave
ment." Then they dug and found an old for
gotten Iron pipe that had rusted out with
age and broken.

AUSTRALIAN STOCK GOOD
COXTICTS HAVE MADE GOOD
RACE OF PEOPLE.
Young Australia Beginning to Look
Forward to Time When Country
Will Be World Power.
MELBOURNE. Oct. 11. (Special.)-An
Enclish Journalist who Is vlsltine Aus
tralia and writing on "The Springs of
National Character" has discovered that
the origin of the Australians' Is not as
bad as some suppose. According Jo the
Australians themselves, the story of their
origin is as follows: . ,
Hereditarily. ' the Australians are -very
happy. The first stock of the land was
pre-eminently lusty and vigorous The
convicts, whom some affect to thlnK or
as a reproach, were In reality rough
hewn foundational stones of the best
kind The Judges who sent them out
might have been expert colonizers instead
of stern punlshers. Three-fourths of tfie
convicts sent to Australia were crimhials
only in the sense that their spirits were
out of sympathy with the cruel bondage
of their times-Scotch crofters, Irish
rebels. English hartists. and offenders
against the brutal game laws.
These were the best of stock for the
breeding of a new nation and the sub
duing of wilderness. To them were
added, in the fulness of time, all the
most hardy d adventurous spirits of
Europe and America, attracted by the
free, land, the free gold, the free Ufa of
Australia. No nation could have had a
better start, and the vigor of that pioneer
stock still pulsates through Australia,
and is felt In every vein of her body.
The transportation system was not,
perhaps, so entirely a blessing in dis
guise, but only a small portion of con
victs left descendants when they died,
and modern Australia has excellent rea
son in traversing the stal? old slur upon
her origin.
The vigor of the pioneer spirit, with its
impatience of the present and its keen
ness for new departures into the un
known, is conspicuous in the confident
and self-willed nationalism which charac
terizes young Australia today. The older
school looked backward always- to the
motherland: the younger one, . springing
from a stock which was never too much
in love with what It had left behind,
cranes forward eagerly to a time not far
distant to Its eyes when Australia will
take rank among the powers as one of
themselves.
NEW PETROL FIRE-ENGIME
Outpumps Steam 3Iachine In ComJ
petltlve Test.
LONDON, Oct- 10. (Special.) The
newest of new things in fire protection
appliances was submitted to the criti
cism of experts here when a new fire
engine a patent turbine petrol machine
underwent a series of tests at Wey
bridge. The new appliance Is the first
of Us kind, and in order to make the
demonstration more Interesting a horse
fire engine, belonging to the Wey
brldge fire brigade, was put Into action.
The chief feature of the new machine
Is the pump, which is driven by the
same engine that drives the car, and
consequently the large boiler, so famil
iar at the rear of the steam fire en
gine is done-away with. After pumpr
ins from hydrants Into the River
Thames at a very high pressure, the
motor and the horse engine "played"
together by pumping from the river.
In this test the new appliance was seen
to be well ahead of the steam engine.
Pumping 450 gallons of water to the
minute, the motor engine sent a spray
Into the air about 140 feet high, which
was con slderably higher than that
pumped by thj steam engine. Even
pumping a double spray, the motor
was able to exceed the heights of that
pumped by Its rivals.
And then the new method distin
guished itself. ' The steam engine had
to cease pumping owing to shortage of
coal, while the petrol engine continued
its labors, and even pumped three
sprays of water through 500 feet of
hose to' 120 feet into the air. It was
explained that the new appliance would
continue to pump so long as there was
petrol, which was easier to carry than
coal. The new machine is capable of
covering 40 miles an hour. Its weight.
