how it feels to have the stick bend in 
their hands, by walking behind them and 
grasping their wrists, thus supplying the

Explaining the Divining Rod 
Several people have sent in a clipping 
from the Boston Globe in which I.eon W. 
Bishop gives an explanation of the curi-' 
ous action of the “rod” in the hands of 
some persons: 
The action of the rod in turning in a 
man’s hands has nothing to do with the 
rod and is not a psychological phenome- 
DIRECT 
Factory 
The Sticlc in First Position 
non. It is purely a physical reaction of 
the person holding the rod due to the di¬ 
version of the lines of gravity and the 
holder’s involuntary movement, to retain 
his balance. Electricity has no influence 
whatever on the rod. 
Lines of gravity are diverted by the 
movement of largo bodies, such as run¬ 
ning water, trains, or by large objects 
like a cliff or high building, and these 
‘gravitational sprays’ pull a sensitive 
person sufficiently for his reaction to he 
seen on the rod. It is most plainly to be 
seen in men who are afraid of great 
heights or of speed, in trains or automo¬ 
biles. 
To test this theory of the rods action, 
Mr. Bishop experimented at. the foot of 
cliffs, on trains near rivers, and with fly¬ 
wheels and gyroscopes. In every case, he

Locating Water with a Forked Stick 
I noticed items in The It. N.-Y. con¬ 
cerning “water witches.” There is no 
witchcraft, magic or sleight-of-hand. It 
is simply a scientific truth. In every 
underground vein of water electricity is 
present. Moisture is a conductor of elec¬ 
tricity. Any person whose body contains 
sufficient electricity to convert the 
crotched stick of any green wood into 
a temporary magnet can work the stick. 
This magnet is attracted by the electricity 
of the flowing stream underground and 
bends down when one walks, holding it as 
illustrated in pictures. 
I have followed the veiu on which we 
drilled our well (the well is the best of 
pure, rock water, 43 ft. deep, and of a 
temperature of 50 degrees the year 
round) for over two miles south and one- 
half mile north. I can locate veins any¬ 
where, and have done so many times; 
some good wells on these veins. 
I meet doubters everywhere, as but 
few have enough magnetism to make the 
It Points to Water Vein 
declared, the rod twisted in his hands. 
It never acted in that way for any other 
influence. Now he says he has had prac¬ 
tice enough so that he can find a quarter 
inch of running water 30 out of 35 times 
while blindfolded. 
“The rod,” he asserts, “is nothing mys¬ 
terious. It is simply an amplifier of the 
reactions of people to the pull of gravity. 
I can see no possible use to the rod, for 
it is not an entirely dependable action, al¬ 
though it will locate little springs and 
things of that kind. The action of the 
rod, moreover, is not entirely to be trust¬ 
ed, for it is most erratic with nervous 
people or persons who are apt uncon¬ 
sciously to believe they feel effects they 
actually do not.”
