' Now comes new light on 'these
rpn'zzling tree mysteries from an un-
expected • and ' amazing source...... In
1931, a French scientist of the Pas-
teur 'Institute, Georges Lalkhdvsiky,
published a• book entitled "The Se-
cret of Life," in which he seeks to
prove that Fife originated in and is
'continued by living cells, eaeh of
• which. is giving off ..ether waves of
certain frequencies. Accordingly, the
whole universe is one seething mass
of invisible rays with an enormous
range of wave lengths, •
Lakhovs'ky gives some startling
proofs, based on experiments conduct-
ed by himself on carrier -pigeons. Ile
released them at a certain place from
which, to reaeh their home ,loft, 'they
had ,to' fly over the towers of a breed -
casting lstation. 'The birdie circled
and found their direction, but when
they ivere pasising aver the radio
towers, he charged the' antenna with
waves of a certain frequency, and
they lost their sense of di •rection.
When the current was turned off, the
birds at once Picked up the right di-
rection and proceeded to fly home.
When you ,have read Lakhovsiky's
bock there is little deulbt left in you
that the so-called "instinct" of birds,
which guides then safely across the
oceans, is nothing more than recep-
tivity . to the radio waves emanating
from the objective, and which their
organs are able to, receive. The book
further proves that the same waves
can and do influence plants, animals
and human beings.
The German scientist Gustav Frei-
herr von Pohl picked up the thread
where .L,alchovsky had let it drop. In
192'he published' a book called "Earth
Rays as Causes of -Disease" in which
he groves, with typical German thor-
oughness, that if the sun and the
;planets give off cosmic rays, the earth
being one of the planets. must in the
nature of things emanate similar
rays and send them into the ether.
He further prones that these rays
are not uniforms over the surface of
the earth, but that they occur in nar-
row .ribbons and bands often Criss-
• crossing each other and varying in
width. These variations and the Criss-
crossing would appear to be due, in
Baron von Pohl's conception, to the

network of mineral and water ;veins
whi+ah are everywhere under the
earbh•'s surface. These, 'being good,
electrical conductors, deflect the rays
from their natural course and con-
eentrate thein.
The writer accepts no facts unless
proven and! eionfirmied. Thus he es-
tablishes that lightning never strikes
the earth's surface except at places
where two of the ribbons of earth
rays cross eaeh other., Still more
amazing are the proofs of'animal
sensitiveness to these rays, quoted by
the author. Dogs, it appears, always
instinctively amend places exposed to
earth 'rays, while cats deliberately
seek' the rays. -
'Von Pohl is, firm in•••bis belief, us-
ually denied by medical men, that
there exists an inter -relationship be-
tween earth rays and cancer of hu-
man beings. He studied a number
of cancer 'cases that had occurred
within a certain period in a small
Bavarian town, and found that each
of these cases occurred in a place
where the patient's (bed stood expos-
ed to the earth 'rays.
The book devotes a chapter to the
influence of earth rays on plant life,
proving with words and photographs
that the 'peculiar "dead spots" are in-
variably lying over a crossing of two
'of the underground veinsl That trees
struuck by lightning are invariably
trees standing over veins • having
strong earth ray emanations!
The scientific German locates these
rays not Iby means of delicate elec-
trical instruinents, but with the fork=
ed branch of a twig 'cut from a liv-
ing tree, that is nothing else but the
old "divining rod" used by well dig-
gers and "water witches" for the pur-
pose of locating water,''
The old-timers ••fho•irght that there
was affinity between the green twig
and water in the soil, when the actual
facts were that it was the earth rays,
unsuspected by them, that activated'
the twigs. That these divining rods
will not work in every case and in
everybody's 'hands is perfectly ex-
plainable ,by Lakhovsky's cellular
theory. When the wave lengths ,of
our individual cells happen to be in
resonance with the wave length of
the earth ray's, the twig functions.
Otherwise there is no response.
'1 have tried the brass and steel
rods to which the Baron von Pohl
has lately graduated, but they refuse
to perform in my hands; I am still
at the twig stage. I found to my
delight .that I was highly sensitive
to the earth rays. A few of my
friends were able to work the divin-
ing rod', others got no response what-
ever.
Equipped with this new-found abiI-
ity of Locating rays, and checked" by
friends equally sensitive to the rays,
I proceeded to explore some of the
tree systeries mentioned 'in the 'be-
ginning. The few opportunities I
had to explore openings in forests
have fully confirmed von. Pohl's .the-
ory. The case of the orchard trees
refusing to bear fruit turned out to
he a clear case of earth rays over-
lying an underground stream of wa-
ter. The trees so planted still live,
but they are stunted and give little
promdrye of fruit.
I further explored a row of Lom-
bardya

clients to serve as a screen from an
unpleasant vista. At three places in

was then d1ecided to replace them with

work, as the replanted ' trees were
soon outdistanced by the latter.
My investigation proved that in
each of the three gaps in the row
there was a ribbon of rays at right
angles to the row of trees.

not only a strong emanation of earth

The fir -cone is an excellent heroin-,
eter. Izl dry weather its scales open,
while in daises weather the one as-
sumes its characteristic slender and
shiny, :appearance.
But the best .and most precise in-
strument for predicting the weather
is man hfmiself. Could we but study
ourselves more closely, we would he
amazed at the precision with which
our body reacts to the slightest os-
cillations of the atmospheric pressure,
the variations in the electricity con-
tents of the air, etc.
",Both our . body and soul feel the
break in 'the weather some time before
it actually takes place. Apparently
for no reason whatever certain indi-
ividu,als' suddenly become ,depreenied
and melancholy, pessimistic, tired; and
indifferent. 'Their intellectual facul-
ties seem impaired,.they work slowly
and forget things. This is, of course,
a 'picture of the highly -strung, per-
haps somewhat neurasthenic individ-
ual, but many of the ,sy'rnptoms may
be observed also on Perfectly normal
persons .of an average sensitiveness.
Analyzing the physiological anlodi-
fications which take place in our or-
ganism before a change in the wea-
ther vine find that the first to be af-
fected is our nervous system -both
brain • and nervous conductors. We
comlplain of 'headache and toothache,
we feel rheumatic, old scars suddenly
remind us of their existence, our
feet ache. All these are the products
of the same workshop the telephone
lines of which are the nerves.
The circulation is likewise affect-
ed. We cannot open our eyes in the
Morning and get our machine going.
Organically speaking, we are suffer-
ing fromn, •a slight weakness of the
heart or the circulation. We .look
anything but well on such days; the
skin, seems to have lost its elasticity,
every little wrinkle comes out and
dark shadows lie under the eyes, all
of which is due to the fact that the
superficial blood -vessels of the face
have gone anemic.
Everyone of us possesses an excel,
lent little barometer in the hand.
While the palm is of a uniform color
when the barometer stands high, an
approaching depression gives it a
blotchy appearance, because of a
slight contraction of the superficial
blood -vessels. This phenomenon is
particularly pronounced in individuals
suffering from vasorn,otor troubles,
that is, nervous blood vessels.
Next to the hand, the hair re-
acts intensely to the.,variations in
the •humidity of the air and electric
oscillations. It loses its elasticity,
becomes •dry and brittle, looks like
straw and will not lie'smooth on the
head. As soon as atmospheric preci-
pitation starts it regains its normal
ap'pearance. This sensitiveness of
the human hair is utilized by the
meteorologists in the hygrometers
with which the moisture of the air
is measured. The appearance of the
hair is a sure indication of the gen-
eral health condition of a person and
a glance often tells the physician a
better story than the complaints of
the patient.
The disturbance of the nervous cen-
ters are comm'dnicated to the ductless
glands which react by secreting ab-
normous quantities of their product
in. the blood. That is we cannot say
exactly whether it is a case of under
or overproduction, since the under-
production of a paralyzing substance
gives the same results as the ove•r-
production of a stimulant. All we
know is that these disturbances cause
the paralysis or over -excitation of
the individual organs and, therefore,
react upon our general condition.
In a smaller degree such chemical
intoxications take place also under
normal conditions. If a person is
vexed or angry, his looms reveals
that he suffers from internal intoxi-
cation. If we would listen to the
(voice of nature, this fact should prove
an inexhaustible source of wisdom to
us. Happiness, love, freedom from
care and worries, are the -best medi-
cines and inexhaustible sources of
vital energy. .Instead, fear, worries,
jealousy, vexations, unhappy love af-
fairs, are the worst enemies of health.
We have but to think of the ravages
that an unpleasant letter received in
the morning works in us for the rest
of the day. Lack of appetite, sallow
Nature speaks to us with a 'thou-
sand tongues but we are too indiffer-
ent or too -busy to listen to her. Civ-
ilized man is Iosing more and more
of that contact with nature -which
the other creatures of the earth have,
end which even the more primitive
human"trilbes 'possess to a certain ex-
tant.
In our world there are few indi-
viduals whose instincts are so develop-
ed as to Warn hint of the approach
of danger. These few fortunate in-
dividuals are women. Man, who judg-
es and acts as reason and logic prompt(
him, frequently goes wrong, while
woman who obeys only her instinct
'guesses] earl ectly. A clever woman;
needs a few roo,mtents to correctly
appraise a person 'whom she has nev-
er seen before. No physical or psy-
chological detail will "'escape her at-
tention. To this gift of observation
woman owes her superiority in her
dealings with man.
This speicial gift, lin combination
with certain physiological peculiari-
ties are the decisive factors of an in-
dividual's sensitiveness to approach-
ing changes in weather Feeling, in-
stinct, natural disposition and gift of
observation are the essential attri-
butes which make a weather prophet
or a living barometer of a man.
It ,is interesting to watch the ways
of the living creatures before an he
-
pending thunderstorm. There can be
no doubt that they feel it. Dogs
seem exhausted and frighteri'edeihore,
es let their heads hang and'tiiecrea-
tures of the forest creep into their
dens. The early or late return of
the birds are among nature's best
meteorologists.
If the swallows fly low and the
fish bite exceptionally well you may
be sure that a storm is coming, These
phenomena are connected with the
low flying of the insects before a
storm, which '`in its turn is due to
the fact that they are pressed down
by the downward vertical. currents in
the atmosphere. These 'currents are
the result of the, great increase of
the .percentage of moisture in the
air. For the same reason the smoke
from chimyneys flies low. The expert
housewife, • whose snowy white wash
drying pn the line in the backyard
suddenly turns black, knows that bad
weather is coming.
(Good weather may always be ex-
pected after a night with abundant
dew, while dry, dewless nights are
usually followed by bad weather. It
is as though nature abstains from
watering grass and trees, like the
good gardener who does not water
his garden in the evening if storm -
clouds are gathering on the horizon.
Many plants are possessed of the
same infallible weather instincts as
living, creatures. The water -lily, for
example, closes in the early after -
ribbons of these rays. •The reaction
on the twig was so strong that it
was violently jerked downward, al-
most out of my hand.
'Strangely enough, it is not the min-
eral and water veins lying near the
surface of the earth, that are giving
off earth rays. The nearer the surface
they are, the weaker their reaction,
and vice versa. The divining rod will
not respond to the presence, of a pool
or pond, but it will react violently
to a water vein a few hundred feet
deep.
That these rays extend into the
ether and stratosphere above is prov-
ed by the fact that during the flight
of a free balloon, 'von Pohl was able
to piok them up 5,000 feet above the
surface ofe
th earth.
All this sounds fantastic, yet there
is no doubt that we are touching the
edges of a new scientific world. And
since we are actually making use of
many other mysterious rays, in the
form of radio and other applications,
we cannot afford to be disdainful of
their effects on aur everyday life or
that of plants, Which are masses of
living cells .nvueh as we are.
It will 'be well to keep our minds

Or let us 'compare the performance
of the (body under favorable and un-
favorable psychic conditions. We go
to a party in the evening, we enjoy.
ourselves immensely', perhaps we are
a little in love. We :stay ''until the
wee hours of the morning ao that we
get very little sleep, yet we wake re-
freshed and full of pep. But if we
spend an evenirrlg'had!y, if the com-
pany is disagreeable and we are bor-
ed, we will feel dul'1 and irritable all
next day, even though we have' Left
early and slept sufficiently.
Aware of this fact and also that
early in the morning the organism is
particularly receptive to the poison-
ous endocrinous 'secretions, we should
make an efforts of will not to spoil.
our mood in the early hours. The
poisons streaming into the blood are
for the most excreted 'through the
lungs, therefore, we are in best shape
in the mnlorning after a good rest. One
:should nuance it a rule never to sign
a contract or send -out an important
letter hi the evening, because the
nnorning after we may see everything
in a different light.
The inference which may be drawn
from these observations fully con-
firms the tremendous importance of
the ps'ycholo'gical factor • in medical
treatments. The art of the Physician
consists in gaining his patient's con-
fidence and thus ,being able ' to help
hiinnl not only with medicines and
treatments. He must influence him
psychologically, dispel his fears and
thus cheek the harmful influence of
the interna] poisons. 'Herein lies the
secret of the . success. which .cannot
be denied of the various methods of
suggestion, and hypnotic treatment.
Comparing these phenorfiiena with
the changes wrought in our body by
atmospheric conditions, we find that
the latter also betray the presence
of poisons in the organisdn. Increas-
ed perspiration 'means that aibundant
poison is secreted through the skin,
and black rings under the eyes betray
the presence of a substance that may
corrode even metals'. The accelerat-
ed pulse and heart-beat and contract -
.ed blood -vessels are symptoms of the
irritation of the cardiac muscle and
the walls of the blood -vessels.
People who suffer from, heart,
stomach and nervous troubles . are
particularly sensitive to changes in
the weather. The warm( southerly
wind from the Alps, Which usually
initiates a period of bad weather in'
the surrounding regions, is an end-
less source of suffering to such peo-
ple. A day of "Fohn," as this wind
is called, is certainly no pleasure for
the house physician of a Swiss sani-
tarium.
Physicians and surgeons elsewhere
are aware of this fact. In the town
of Innsbruck, for example, which is
very much exposed to the "Fohn,"
surgeons abstain from operating on
such days, because of the high per-
centage of mortality. For the same
reason the surgical clinic of the Uni-
versity of Munich keeps in close touch
with the Meteorological Observatory
and is advised several° days ahead of
an approaching south wind.
a have had opportunity of study-
ing these phenomena in myself upon
my return from a trip in Africa where
I had caught amoebic dysentery. The
poison whieh had particularly affect-
ed my heart enabled me to predict a
changer in the weather almost to the
hour. This sensibility' was further
enhanced by the internal intoxication
of the organism) which resulted in
great weakness of the heart and
spells of depression and fear.

mechanism, therefore, the most pre-
cise

Summer Months Often
A Menace To Babies
Beware the Common House -fly
Do you know that one little com-
mon 'house -fly, permitted to settle on
a piejce of 4food, milk, a 'baby's coin -
fort, -can deposit germs that will kill
a little baby? It has been proved'
conclusively through scientific invest-
igations made at one of Canada's
leading hospitals for children that
the inrvisi!ble deposits left by flies
are responsible for "Summer Corn -
plaint" or •Infant Diarrhoea taking
the toll of hundreds of infants' lives'
during the summer months. The com-
mon house -fly also causes typhoid,
diptheria, dysentery and other deadly
ailments. Is it not then a matter
of 'comimfon-sense, of common duty
for every citizen to fight these pests
with every available weapon.

and windows, covering .garbage cans,
and making a general clean-up are

One of the 'leanest, . safest and
simiplest ways to kill all the flies that
get into the home during the sunt -
mer, is to use Wilson's' Fly Pads for
two or three hours every day. Keep
pads too, moistened every 'day, on
porch or veranda and they wilI kill
flies which might otherwise enter the
house when doors' or windows are
opened. Just a little care, will reduce
the risk to human life to a minimum.
And we will know that good times
are back again when, people want pos-

- r have seen 'many California ta-

ami certain that none of them is fer-
ocious all the tianle. 'Last year, for
instance, a big tarantula lived all,
summer close to my garden wall and
he and I beeame -quite intimate. He
would sit quietly on my hand or walk

shining reddilsh little eyes' staring

hawk, or Pepsis -wasp, like a black
Fokker on an aerial patrol. If Eutir-
pelrea is king among spiders, 'certain-
ly Pepsis is the amazon .queen of, all
wasps. Her body is an inch • and a
'half long, cased in dull ,blue mail,
with wings that 'spread full three
inches;, and she has a very javelin of
a sting with a needle point that darts
in and out like a, flash. Just as the
little black and blue wasps hunt the
smaller spiders, Pepsis, the tarantu
la -hawk is special'ly born and bred
for the express purpose of hunting
Eurypelma, king of spiders,
The great wasp saw him and came
swooping down with the speed of
light, intending to catch Eurypelma
in the rear. But old and hoary and
lethargic as he appeared a moment
before, the spider showed himself to
be a battler of ,sorts and past master
of wasp warfare. Pepsis oheoked her
swoop just before reaching him and
zoomled overhead in swift threaten,,
ing circles.
Then began the battle of the glad-
iator with the sword against the
one armed with the net. I wondered
as I watched if the old Romans
might not have gotten their idea or-
iginally from watching wasp and
spider warfare. 'Pepsis, with her
swiftly lunging sting, was the sects -
tor; Eurypelma, whirling and parry-
ing, with his updfung waving legs.,
was exactly like a fighter with a net,
striving to enmesh the other.
It was Pepsis Who took the offen-
sive. She wanted the taranthla for
food. Eurype']ma, in the main, was
merely fighting to keep from bewail-
ing provender, Qne' full fair thrust
of the wasp's poisoned sword', and all
would be aver with' hien. Be knew it
and was doing his best not to he
'stabbed, but he was also eager to
force an issue 'once the proper mom-
ent came.
To be struck by those iberrible son -filled fangs of the tarantula was
certain death to the wasp, should they
penetrate her -armor. So 'Pepsis, fly-
ing in swift circles a yard above the
tarantula and• darting in to spear, was.
ever on guard, knowing that Euryc
pelma was 'but biding his) time, wait-
ing for the proper opening, His fangs
