What do you think of water-
witelhang--that is, the business, or
maybe it's a profession, of locating
wnderground water by means of a
forked twig, sometimes called a
"diving rod", or "dowsing stick?"
Some folks say it's superstition.
Others brand it as a fake, pure
and simple, But there are thou-
sands, perhaps millions, who be.
live in it implicitly; and although
this is a scientific age, science still
hasn't found an explanation for the
water -witch.
Witching has come down through
the ages, and has been traced back
as far as the 1400's when the
"striking rod" was used to find
'metal in the Harz Mines district
of Germany. In Queen Elizabeth's
day it was used extensively in the
Cornish mines. Then, as mining
declined in Cornwall, the system
was used more and more for water
finding,
* * *
Not long ago we ran across an
article about George Ball, a noted
water -witch out in the middle west
—a man who believes in the witch-
ing business, and who can offer
proof of its efficacy which even the
greatest skeptics find hard to
laugh off. George contends that a
true water -witch needs only a
forked twig to find water; but he
has "gone modem" to the extent
of fixing up a steel divining -rod
kr greater accuracy.
* * *
No doubt you /snow how the
witching works. The forked twig,
or rod, is grasped firmly at the
outer ends of the fork, thumbs out.
Then it's carried slowly over the
ground where the water is wanted.
'A watet vein causes the tip of the
twig to turn down sharply. Accord-
ing to George the attraction is so
great that the bark is twisted off
where the twig le tightly grasped.
* * 5
George has even tried to hold
his steel rod upright with a pair
of pliers; and, according to his
chronicler, marks on the handles
show where he failed when under-
ground water pulled the tip down.
* * *
It was out in Colorado, near bhe
famous Cripple Creek, that George
Ball started witching, using the
sod to try and find gold. His wife
likes to tell of the time when she
decided to test his divining powers.
She buried her gold watch in the
middle of a plowed, five -acre field
aod told her husband it has been
lost. George carefully went over
the plowed ground with his witch-
ing stick, and soort'found the miss-
ing- time -piece, '
* * *
Although the witching power
frequently is handed down from one
generation to another, George is
the only member of the Ball
family who ever had it. "Only about
one person in twelve can make
the system work, he contends. "You
have to be born with the electri-
city,"
* * *
Most water witches use twigs
from peach trees, although there
are some who prefer willow, others
hazel. A common belief is that a
twig with bitter bark works best;
but Ball claims that a witoh with
strong attraction can get results
with most any twig.'
* * *
He goes even .further, and says
that many witches—including him-
self can come very close to esti-
mating the depth, as well as the
location, of the water. Two differ-
ent methods are used for this. One
way is to approach the desired
spot from several directions, By
counting steps and multiplying by
three for every step, you can figure
the depth to the water vein.
* * 5
Other witches stand right over
the spot with the greatest attrac-
tion and turn the divining rod
again and again, until it gets balky
and refuses to tip down any more.
They count ten for each time the
twig bends, giving an estimate of
the distance to the water.
* * k
As I said before, the whole idea
of water witching has been held
up to ridicule, But relief in it still
persists, and top scientists have
studied the phenomenon without
finding any reasonable explanation
for it. That is, none but the theory
thnt water witching, like the hom-
:Mg inetlnat of certain birds and
animals, comes from somewhere
beneath the level of consciousness.
* * *
And whether you believe in witch -
g or not, you can't get away
From the fact that water -finders
yuck as George Ball often travel
d hundred miles or more to find
a good spot for a, well, to locate a
loan drain tile system, or to open
tip almost forgotten springs. Per-
sonally—well, we're moreor less
on the fence.
* * *
Still, we can remember when
"moderns" of a bygone day used
to laugh scornfully at Grandma's
belief that a poultice of mouldy
treed was the finest thing ever for
a hard -to -heal sore, We 1949 "mo

01 ail the various sports which
we have watched, reported and—
ander extreme presaure—even tak-
e n part in, there are few that
occupy suchh a deep-seated spot in
our affections as the noble pastime
of pitching horseshoes. When we
get around to publishing that book
of reminiscences—we are almost up
to the middle of page one—Bic
chapter on Horseshoe Pitchers We
Have Mingled With will be written
with extra loving care, and no
fooling.
* * 5
Few who ever attended them will
likely ever forget the weekly out-
inga of the Toronto chapter of the
Pool and Polcer Club, largely made
up of big league professional hock-
ayista and big-time professional
wrestlers. They used to gather at
our former country estate — 3/
acres, 30 square yards of whhich
were level ground — for the pur-
pose of scoffing Russian delicates-
sen, pushing horeeshoea and — It
was rumored — imbibing keg brew,
* * *
There were times when we must
have had, at a conservative esti-
mate, half a million dollars worth
of hockey and wrestling talent pres-
ent — double that, probably, at
present-day valuation. But outside
of two or three, such as Harold
"Baldy" Cotton, Roy "Squib"
Worters, and the late Lorne Cha-
bot, as horse -brogan heavers, they
wouldn't have made many head-
lines,
* * *
All this, and a whole lot more,
came to mind when reading an ac-
count of the United States national
horseshoe pitching championships,
recently held at Morray, Utah.
There were 36 contestants—finalists
from 18 states. They did their atuff
in a brilliantly floodlighted, cement -
surfaced arena, surrounded by
thouwands of spectators seated in
trim metal bleachers.
* * *
The steel target -pins were tilted
an accuately measured three inches
toward the pitchers. They were set
in scientifically prepared clay pits.
The shoes, weighing up to 2j;
pounds apiece, were made of "spe-
cial analysis heat-treated steel, ac-
curately balanced and plated with
tedium and copper."
* * *
But there were two items in the
account which carne home to us
with special vigor—reminding us of
our own Pool and Poker Club con-
ditions because they were so din•
similar. At the aforesaid U.S.
championships they had a loud
speaker system to carry a minute
report of the play, and on close
Sealnaped — This month - old
baby was sealnaped out of the
water at Vancouver, B.C., by
the , crew of the tanker J. L.
Hanna. When they turned
"George" loose, out of the kind-
ness of their hearts, he barked

milk. Now he'll 'serve a stretch'
in the Steinhart Aquarium,
calls, the judges used calipers to
aid In their decisions.
* * *
Heck, when our gladiators really
laid into tlheir pitching, you didn't
need any loud speaker aystem to
keep you informed of how things
were going. Although the country
testate was in a fairly secluded spot,
folks with good ears could tell who
was winning 'way down in Hogg's
Hollow, a good bolts miles away,
* * *
And as for calipers, we didn't
bother about gadgets such as that.
In fact, we had what you might
tall a sort of "house rule," fre-
quently invoked when the evening
shadows were starting to settle and
the athletes ' tended to become
alightly weary and inaccurate. This
rule "stated" that any shoe which
landed within the limits of the
estate was close enough to be
counted.
* * *
'Dhe only other rule we recall was
one which said that anybody whose
shoe vanished over the brow of
the hill and landed in the bog at
the bottom had to go and retrieve
it direct, without any detour in the
direction of the barn where the first
aid station was located.

But for all their flossy surround-
ings and up-to-date trimmings, the
U.S. horses -hoe champions don't
seem to be in any danger of amas-
aing unwieldly amounts of wealth
at their calling, The ultimate vic-
tor, Fernando Isais, of Los Angeles .
—a guy who scored as many as 91
ringers in I00 consecutive tries—
won 34 out of his 35 matches in
the tournament, which must be al-
most par for the course,
* * *
But all he took home in the way
of folding money was a mere $400.
Why, there wasn't an athlete taking
part in our Pool and Poker Club
jousts who didn't earn far mare
than that per month.
* * 5
Although not, it must be sorrow-
fully admitted, for his skill in pitch-
ing horesshoes.
The Healing Railway
Electric trains, so people are apt
to consider, are a fairly new method
of transport but Ursula Eason writes
interestingly of the very first hydro
electric railway in the world. This,
which is in Northern Ireland, was
designed in 1879 and is now called
the Portrush Electric Tramway. It
still rune to the Giant's Causeway,
a long line of octagonal rocks,
stretching out to sea, The Causeway
is one of the great geographical
curiosities of the British Isles, for
the natural rocks look exactly as
though they had been hand cut, The
antique railway runs along the edge
of the cliff and the little open -sided
carriages are roofed now, though
they were not in the early days,
when passengers got more than they
wanted of the extremely bracing
North Antrim air.
The oldest employee of the rail-
way is Robert Scott, who has been
working on it for fifty-seven years,
and he told Miss Eason about its
early days. The main change since
then has been the removal of the
third rail which. carried the power.
This rail was shun -tett between the
railway car and the ditch andiwes
supported on wooden posts about
eighteen inches high. There was dif-
ficulties and, according to Mr. Scott,
the company was not allowed
enough current for the little live
rail, so that fifty years ago it was
taken away and the overhead sys-
tem adopted. Ursula Eason remarked
that this was surely a good
thing as a live rail in such a prom-
inent position nnlat have been rather
dangerous? Mr, Scott countered
such a suggestion with the story
of the old countrywoman from the
district who used to sit on the rail
every evening. She was warned that,
despite
her copious loin k'
s s )its the habit
,
was a dangerorts one but she refused
to give up her apparelhtly foolhardy
prartire herause, she said, It eased
Ler riherinatism.
Rivers of Ink
And Lemonade
4k
French scientists have analyzed
what must be the most remarkable
river in the world—the so-called
In'k River in Algeria. Its name is
not symbolic, It merely states the
truth, which applies not only to the
eolo1ing of the water, but to its
chemical composition as well. This
is a stream of real ink.
The Ink River originates front
two sources, one of which contains
a considerable amount of iron
salts, while the other abounds in
lead oxide. It is the combination of
these two substances that makes
ordinary ink. The liquid is thick
enough to be used for welting.
Another unusual river is in bile
State of Nebraska. Its water tastes
vary sweet and science is still
searobing for the reason. There are
no sugar plantations along its
banks. Neither are there any near-
by sources of saccharine, which
sometimes does become dissolved in
rivers from the soil.
This sweet river cane into ex-
istence quite unexpectedly in 1930,
and since then has increased in ,,
size. Geologists believe this rare,
natural phenomenon was caused by
an abnormal rise in the level of cer-
tain subterranean waters, eventu-
ally leading to the bursting forth of
the new river.
The Rio de Vinagre, a river
whish marks the boundary between
Chile and Argentina, is known as
the Acid River because its water is
almost as acid as lemon juice. By
adding a small quantity of sugar
to a glass of its water, a beverage
can be obtained similar to lemon-
ade.
One enterprising American actu-
ally started a company to transport
thousands of gallons of water from
the sweet river in Nebraska to the
Rio de Vinagre. The idea was to
supply aerated table waters for the
thirsty Argentinians, but in the end
it was found cheaper to buy sugar
on the spot.
The River Engari Niuki, in East
Africa, has water which tastes like
diluted bitter beer. Yet there is no
alcohol in it. The natives boil it
before drinking to get rid of the
chemicals it eontains. However, it
seems to have no detrimental effect
on animals, who drink it as if k
were ordinary water.
There are black, brown, yellow,
red and white rivers in many coun-
tries, and their bright hues may be
due to the color of bhe river bed or
to the reflection from the colored
banks, Thus the Black River of
Niassaland, in East Equatorial
Africa, appears jet black because of
the black lava over which is flows.
In other cases, it is the contents
of the river, such as Olay or peat,
than give the river its characteristic
coloring. Thus the Blackadder in
Berwickshire, Seotland, is black-
ened by its peaty °enteslte. Th.
Yellow River of China, draining a
vast basin of 600,000 square miles,
owes its distinctive color to bhe
yellow mud it carries down to the
SM.
But the Niger, in West Africa,
fw molt so called because it is black,
but because "N-eg-Ihlrren" is the
native word for river,
Thhe twins who had just celebrat-
ed their 95th birthday were the
wonder of the village.
"And to what do they attribute
their age?" a newcomer asked.
"One to bhe fact that he's an
early riser, and the other to the
fart that he isn't!"

Around midnight, the absent•

the sleeping car for a drink of
water. Upon his return, he found
that he was lost, He appealed to a
porter for help.
"Don't you remember the num-
ber of your berth?" the porter
asked.
"l'm afraid not," replied the pro-
fessor,
"Haven't you any idea where it
was?" asked the porter.
"Why, yes," the professor bright-

even the dogs are deceived. Every
night he patrols the streets, yelping;
when a doganswers he checks the
