A DIVINING ROD SUCCESSFUL. Fr thi The divining rod as a means of finding a good ha ipply of water stood a very successful trial last en: eek at Oundle, Northamptonshire. Mr W. HJ Jdd, a landowner, requiring a well on a portion chi his property, sent for a diviner," a man imed Pearson. There has been lately some *a >nsiderable difficulty in obtaining a supply of »n ater in the town, and the Oundle Commissioners 'OI ive spent £ 83 in trial borings. Although the P? ials were conducted by a professional man, they da -oved futile. In the presence of a number of we h tectators drawn together by the novelty of tew 1. iperiments, Mr Pearson, with the usual V-shaped hii izel twig, walked over the estate. In several sci aces the twig was visibly agitated, but the hll diviner" kept on until the twig almost bent thl self double in his hands. At this spot he 5^ dicated with confidence that a good supply of vater would be found. A well was accordingly 1 mnk, with the result that at a depth of seventeen < eet water was found in such abundance that it j ■apidly rose to within three feet of the surface, J t which height it has since remained. During « ;he making of the well, the water percolated into t so rapidly that at frequent intervals operations 1 lad to b suspended to pump out the water. 8 (
