RADIO-ACTIVITY AND CANCER
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —Mr George Livingston's experiments in water divining are hardly what I meant when I said- that a properly carried out experiment would be interesting. In fact, I don't understand them. I. had in mind an experiment in which three diviners would be tried in and around 25 houses in which cases of cancer had occurred. The diviners would not work together; they would be under proper supervision; and they would not be able to compare results until after the test was over. All that would be required of them would be a statement as to whether the houses were over underground water or not. It would be interesting to see how their different results compared. The effect would be to provide generally a test of water divining as well as demonstrate the likelihood or improbability of a connection between underground water—or the rays produced by it—and cancer. —I am, etc., Dunedin. Sarcoma.
