WATER DIVINING
| $ir,-I was rather surprised at the appearance in your columns of such an ill-informed article on the above subject. Dowsing is a well-established fact. Even the conservative British Army has a section devoted to it, which did good work in North Africa during this last war. It has also been largely used by Roman Catholic priests in France (vide, books by Henry Le Vicomte de France, Besterman, Maby, etc.). A friend’ in Hawke’s Bay complained of rheumatism, etc. I suggested it might be water under the house, and advised her to put a sheet of lead under her mattress, to cut off ‘the vibrations. A few months later she wrote thanking me for the help. She had quite ‘recovered and there was a stream under the house. This is now being shifted to a drier position. :
