These experiments demonstrated. the striking difference recorded between the [989 fading of water by this means when con- tained in tal pipes on the one hand, or in pipes made or clay on the other.

This experimenter subsequently discovered the cause of his two errors; im the one case there wero; two currents of water at the same point, and in the other the current had a width of 20 metres, Out of 56 experiments, which were followed by tests, 47 (or about 83) per cent) proved the accuracy of the F' diviner's " methods.
