A WATER DIVINER.

RENDERED UNCONSCIOUS

Electric Telegraph—Press Association STRATFORD, December 28. The powers of water divining, at which some people still scoff, were demonstrated in a remarkable manner at Stratford. Those who doubt that the power exists could receive a very definite answer from a youth who, holding one end of a divining rod and joining the other hand with that of the diviner, suffered violent reactions and was rendered temporarily unconscious.

The diviner is employed by & Stratford firm of dairying engineers, and for some years has been successfully using his powers to locate underground streams of water. This week-end the firm received an order to locate water and sink an artesian well on a farm property. The diviner, another member of the firm, and a boy on the staff visited the property, and went about their business in the usual way. The divining rod in this instance was a thick piece of fencing wire bent in the form of a w. Tbe diviner gripped the wire with the apex of the w pointing upward, and the search began. There was no doubt about the phenomena that followed.
