AUTOMATIC WATER
FINDER.
The invention, patented by Messrs.
Mansfield & Co. of Liverpool, Eng
land, of an automatic water-finder,
will probably be of much service to
agriculturists and pastoralists in many
places, where, as in the interior of
Australia, the rainfall is uncertain or
insufficient, and water must be
obtained from underground sources.
This invention has been brought
under the notice of the Queensland
Government by Sir Arthur Morgan
and a cable message has been sent,
making fuller enquiries. Its im
portance to pastoralists and settlers
in the western districts, if it proves
effective, ean scarcely be overrated.
To discover the existence of sub
terranean springs where the artesian
bore could be sunk and a supply of
water reached, has often been difficult,
and sometimes, after considerable
labour and expense in making experi
ments, no satisfactory results have
been gained.
The man with the divining rod,
doubtless, has frequently been success
ful, and probably his sensations, and
the movements of the hazel twig,
have been but a manifestation of
certain occult forces affecting his
peculiar mental or physical organism,
which science has now tahulated and
seized upon and made to play their
part in an automatic manner. Most
of the water-diviners have a large
number of successes to record. They
have been conscious of a subtle
influence from the soil where water
has been stored, which has affected
tbem powerfully, frequently bending
their arms downwards as they held
their rod, and making them tremble
with excitement, and become charged
with a kind of electric energy, which
those who have touched them have
felt.
In these remarkable statements ,
made respecting water-diviners-some 1
that it required a measure of credulity
to believe-tlieie was ei ough to sug
gest research, and the possibility of
discovering the principles and laws
by which these effects were produced.
This invention, caHtd " 1 he Auto*
matic Spring Finder," has been made
as the result of many experiments
with vertical air currents, as they
were affected by underground water
courses and metallic deposits. It
was found that these having consider
able conductivity, gave a certain
direction to them. A large number
of various instruments were tried,
by which these currents could be
recorded, and at last it w as discovered
that a coil made of metals curiously
combined, and left unconnected with
any battery or electrical current,
would make a certain record. 1 he
apparatus consists mainly of a wooden
case in which is the coil, and over it
is placed a dial marked with degrees,
and fitted with a long feebly magne
tised needle. To use it, the tripod
upon which the instrument is to be
placed is to be fixed with the white
line on the top pointing to the
magnetic earth, and if there is water
beneath it, or certain metalliferous
deposits, the needle will become agit
ated, and, according to the amount of
water or metal, oscillate more or less
violently. It has been tried, it is
stated, with much success in England
and on the Continent, and in some
parte of West Africa, and it doubt
less will be a boon, in many arid
countries. It will be worth a trial in
Austral#.

Yea, that's how it's supposed to work.
