PARIS. (UP) To tho celebrated
dentine equipment of tho French
police has been added a new tech
nique radioeflthctica.
But the new item really is an old
one, for radioesthetics la the aclen
tlflc name given to the manipulation
of the. forked stick by means of which
certain experts boast they can find
underground water or burled treas
ure. Radioesthetics became a household
word in France almost overnight
when gendarmes of Chaumont called
in the water-finders to search for the
body of 6-year-old Nicole Marescot,
supposed to have been murdered by
a saddlst. One radloesthetlclan said
the body had been thrown Into a
river, while another demonstrated
that It had been buried in a grotto.
Divers and diggers failed to find U In
either place.

Despite these not very convincing
results, even scientists seem to be
taking radioesthetics with a certain
amount of seriousness. A doctor on
the staff of the College of France
cites experiments which would seem
to Indicate that diviners have had
some success in finding water and
burled metals, but Is more skeptical
about the possibility or locating per
sons, or of working by absent treat
men, as many diviners say they can.
Nor does he take much stock In the
ability of radloesthetlclans to diag
nose disease, which is their latest
boast.
Paris even has Its Institute of
Radioesthetics, near the Trocadero.
Experts there will tell you If your
kidneys, liver or lungs aren't func
tioning, or will give domestic advice J
to unhappily mated couples. !
Family t'nthlrm Halved
One of the practitioners of the In
stitute told of one puzzling case In
which the wand showed both com
plaining husband and wife to be per
fectly normal and congenial. Seizing
his forked stick, he demanded to be
shown their home, whereupon the
wand Immediately diagnosed the trou
ble. "Change your wall paper and you
will be happy," the radloesthettclan
told them. They did and wore.
Even more amazing, the red to -esthctlctans

It Is not recorded that this experi

doubtless be difficult, as the army
objects to having such information
made available. Analogous experi
ments, carried out by a committee
formed by the Academy of Sciences
In 1013, and reorganized In 1030. for
the sole purpose of testing the divin
ers' claims, did not register a high
proportion of successes.
However, some of the member of
that committee were sufficiently Im
pressed to Join the Association of the
Friends of Radioesthetics, and one of
them. Prof. Edouard Uranly, famous
as the French father of the wireless,
became Its honorary president. The

The radloesthetlclans assert that all
bodies have their own peculiar ema
nations of radiations of measurable
length and direction. For living be
ings, these radiations vary with the
state of health.
Bees, any radloesthetlclans, have a
wavelength of 68 centimeters.
Some radiations are horizontal,
some vertical. A burled body can
have only vertical radiations.
"The radiations are real." says

WASHINOTON, Aug. 17. (AP) A
capital saddened by the deaths of
Will Rogers and Wiley Post still
could not help smiling as it recalled
the Jokes and cheery gibes with
which the cowboy philosopher was
wont to entertain high officialdom,
Wherever a knot of legislators gath
ered expressions of bereavement were
heard, and such ejaculations as "Two
gallant gentlemen are gone" and
"Rogers was th world's greatest hu
morist."
Speaker Byrna, who had said on
hearing of the tragedy that he had
had a premontlon of It, later smiled
Badly as he recalled Rogers' "last
gibe" at the Democrats. Rogers told
Byrns that on arriving In Alaska, he

the Democrats hsd not done for the
colonists.
The capital heard today that Post's
old world-girdling plane, Winnie Mae,
which congress Is going to buy for
the Smithsonian Institution, will
serve as a memorial to Rogers as well
as Post,
Dr. c. O. Abbott, secretary of the
Smithsonian, said the beloved hu
morist's name "undoubtedly" would
be linked with that of Post when the
exhibit is arranged.
Sitting In lobbies and about lunch
eon tables, many congressmen talked
of Rogers and Post. Senator Bar
bour (R., N. J.), a tall, heavlly-bullt
man, recalled that when he first
came to the senate. Rogers greeted
him with "Well, Barbour, I never re
alized It before, but certainly you are
too Dig ror a man, and too small for
a horse.
Others recalled how Rogers once

(API Home folk will gather at a
small grove before the farm home
of Wiley Poat's parenta near here to
pay final tribute to the noted flier
who crashed with Will Rogeri In
Alanka.
I think the best place la right here
at homo," said gray-haired W. P. Post.
"We can have the aervlcea out In the
yard, where Its ahady."
The decision was made after the
filers widow arrived to learn his
parents' wishes on the funeral.
She hastened to the humble frame
bungalow In the Washita valley from'
ponca city, where shs had been visit
ing, to assure the parenta their
wlshea about funeral plans would go
unquestioned.
The "round-the-world filer will be

the elder Post, after conferring
with his sobbing wife, murmured:
"We may not be here always, and
wed like to know his grave never
