The most notable patent lor a divining rod or m e tal finder w a s Issued In March last to P. H. Brown. Several patents had pre viously been granted tor mechanical and electrical contrivances , designed to locate gold, silver and other ores, and a great many applications have been rejected for various reasons. . - . ■ . The com missioner of patents would not, for example. Issue a patent for a witch hazel divining rod, because that has been in comr roon use for centuries, and comparatively few of the devices that have been ottered in this line involve original or meritorious features. To secure a patent the usefulness and practicability, as well as the novelty of an invention, m ust be demonstrated, and the divining rod in various forms has been in use ever since the time of Jacob. Few people realize the extent to which the di vining rod and its substitutes are used at the present day to locate minerals, springs of water, subterranean rivers, hidden treas ures, etc. There are people in New England who still earn a living that xvay, and that is supposed to be the seat of our highest civ ilization and greatest intellectual attain ment, although, as I have frequently stated, the statistics show a higher degree of edu cation in Iowa, K ansas aad Nebraska. Large numbers of successful oil wells in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana have been and still are bored at points designated by \ o i l ‘sm ellers,\ as they call them; prospec tors in the mining regions Use magnets and all sorts of electrical appliances, and In alm ost every county of the United States in the agricultural districts you w ill find farmers who still believe in the efficacy of a split rod of witchhazel. As late as 1876. Mr. Charles Lattlm er of Cleveland, a well known engineer, -wrote a book tp demonstrate its usefulness in deter mining subterranean water passages. The \dowsing rod,” for the same purpose. Is made of two prongs of whalebone, with one end of each fastened firmly in an empty cartridge shell. Similar divining rods were used In the tim es of Moses and Aaron. Marco Polo found ■ them in China. Philip Melanc- thon; the religious reformer and friend of Martin Luther, testified to their efficacy and defended them from the Inquisition, by which they were denounced and prohibited. Divin ing rods have commanded the faith and con fidence of ail races in all countries in all times, and there has been little Improvement in the design. Eiectrloity is now used, however, for such m atters more than the ordinary rod of witch- hazel, and, as in the recent patent granted to Mr. F. H. Brown, the operator usually connects w ith an ordinary battery two xvlres which are attached to two stakes. 'When he reaches a place where he suspects minerals may he found, h e drives the stakes In the earth, turns on the current, and. If the cir cuit is completed by a body of ore In the earth a'b e ll or some other annunciator con nected with the battery w ill announce the discovery. Springs of water and subterra nean stream s esn be located In the same way. A sim p le device consists of a rod with an electrical battery and a wire on top and a ■wire running down the center. This rod is driven in the ground, and If the end comes in contact with ore or minerals of any kind the result Is felt by the operator,—Chicago Record. BOTH SIDES TO BLAME.

I., May 19—Thomas Aitkin of this place has retired from business after having spent sixty-three years of his life of 76 years continuously in the dry goods trade. Ho F/etires now only because ho fools that younger hands and brains are best adapted to carry on the commercial battle. Of the slxty-lbree years that Mr. Aitkin has been in business thirty-«lx have been spent in this place, Mr. Aitkin retires with the respect of all ■who know or ever had dealings with him. No business man was ever more popular. The women of this and surrounding towns who have shopped w ith him from childhood regret greatly his selling out. Aitkin’s has been a househld word in this town for a gen eration. Mr. Aitkin 'was bom in Scotland of a sturdy parentage. H is father was James Aitkin, his mother, Christina Scott. He was Thomas A itk in of H u n tington, W h o R e tires, A f ter B e ing S ixty-three Y’cars In th a D ry G o o d s Business. one of t'welve children, the youngest of the lot and the only one surviving. His native town was Harwick. Roxboroughshire, and he left there when 13 years of age. He came over to go in his brother W illiam ’s store. W illiam had been over here several years and was esta'bllslied in the dry goods business in Hudson street, near the corner of Anthony, now W orth street. New York. He remained with his brother until 1840. when he secured a position with Lord & Taylor in' Catharine street .and a few years later with the Jobbing house of Hamlin, Rushraore & Co., 64 and 66. Liberty street. In 1856 he started in business for him self as a member of the firm, of Phelps. Aitkin & Co. Their store was at 69 Liberty street and they were Jobbers In dry goods. In 1864 .Mr. Altidn,. with , h is son, Edmund R., th e h ia'very yisung man, but with much experience in the dry goods business, came to this place and started in business. Their first store was the little building standing on Main street next east of Punnell's drug store. Bus iness increased rapidly and changes to more commodious stores were made until at last the firm was located corner' of Main and W all streets, in the largest room ever devoted to the dry goods and clothing business in this place. Mr. Aitkin early learned the value of printer’s Ink. He began to patronize the ad vertising columns of the local papers in 1864. One of them, the Suffolk Bulletin, carried his - advertisement each week for thirty-six years, from that date until the issue of last week when he disposed of his- business. A continuous advertiser for thirty-six years is som ething that but few country papers can boast of. Mr. Aitkin used space at times In the papers in Northport and Oyster Bay, from which town he derived a large trade. Mr. Aitkin early took an interest in poli tics. He Is an uncompromising Democrat, and when active in the councils of the party a few years ago. was a power in this county. Although frequently urged to run for office, Mr. Aitkin always declined, preferring to be a king maker rather than an aspirant for honors. He. however, consented to run for overseer of the poor, and Is now serving his second term as such. He has always taken a lively interest In all m a tters pertaining to the advancement of H u n tington village and town. The Huntington Public Library of which he has been president for about fift(3en years, has always had his heartiest support.

Marie Pattille W h ite, the V ir^ u la M ocking Bird, A lleges She W as Ill- Treated in Brooklyn M usic Hall, Marie Pattille White. t\’ho is a native of Virginia, and has since she was sixteen years old been known in musical circles as the Virginia Mocking Bird, has commenced an action against Percy G. W illiam s, to recover $20,000 damages for alleged assault and false Imprisonment. The complaint in the case has been served, but no answer has yet been made. Miss W h ite states that on Christmas Day last she purchased a seat for a performance in the Brooklyn Music Hull, at Pulton street and East New York avenue, and received at the box office a ticket, containing a coupon, the latter being handed over to an usher, who showed her to a scat, Dui'lng the per formance, as she states, a man appeared, who claimed the seat, and, as she could not show t.ho coupon, she was compelled to give up the seat, forcible means being used, she alleges, by a special officer, -with whom she remonstrated in vain. '’This man,” says the plninUff, “with the assistance of an u.'^her. du^&^btl me from my seat to the re.'^r of the theater, dragged me downstairs, causing my feet and limbs to knock upon each step and tearing off my out er skirts. They dragged me into the street, where I was almost nude and exposed to tho gaze and gibes of tbe spectators.^ I lost or had stolen while so ill treated som e $30 in money, and Jewelry valued at $65, When I discovered the loss I begged to be permitted to return to the theater to seek for the money and Jewelry and arrange nij' apparel, but my request was refused.” On the following morning the plaintiff says she was carried in the patrol wagon to the Gates avenue police court, and arraigned be fore Magistrate Worth, the charge preferred being disorderly conduct. She entered a plea of not guilty and on examination was honor ably discharged. _ H I S ONLY CHANCE GONE. “My dear sir.” said the old gentleman in his open-hearted way. ”1 shall welcome you as a son-in-law.” “.•Vhw!” returned the young man deject edly. “.My last hope is gone.

Lacrosse Players, Despite the Tor rents, Won From Lehigh by a Score of 7 to 0- SOME GOLFERS WERE OUT, TOO. Thirteen, Each. T h inking to Steal a March on Everyone Else, Met on the Links. Not every schedule athletic feature was postponed yesterday,, for the Crescent Athletic Club and Lehigh College lacrosse teams act ually played at the .Crescent’s grounds at Bay Ridge. The contest partook more of the qualities usually supposed to belong to water polo, several of the players narrowly escap ing watery graves, but the game, was enjoyed by a howling throng consisting of the referee, one of the members who is a manufacturer of cough drops, and several others who were storm bound at the handsome club house. For a part of the time yesterday the trolley cars did not run down that way. owing to the severity of the storm, but this did not prevent the lacrosse match. The base ball players, probably because their game is an older and more sedate one, dis creetly remained under cover; the tennis cranks thought sadly of the rectangular swlm- ►mlng pools into which their courts w'ere con verted and stayed at home, even the old standbys, who seldom m iss a Crescent event, were in higher and dryer quarters. But not so the devotees of lacrosse, for they splashed and dived around the field looking at a dis tance, for all the world, like a lot of Mis sissippi stern wheeler.s In a spring freshet. They must have had a glorious tim e, but a physician, who surveyed them as they return ed from the field, shook his head and advised that it was rather early in the year for out of door bathing. The Crescent swimmers won by the score of 7 to 0, the fact that they were in their home waters being, of course, a slight ad vantage. Dobby could not paddle very well with his recently broken finger, so contented him self with refereeing. The score follows: Crescent. Position. Lehigh. Gan'in ...................

Thirteen Crescent golfers, each of whom thought he would steal a march on every one else in the club, journeyed to the club’s links 5 ’esterday afternoon and, finding tho other dozen there, each was asham ed to back out.

The course \was of course, a water course, but the unlucky number, unlucky in ?nore waj's than one, slipped and moiintaineered around the country like a lot of Paul Boy- tons. H. G.

Morey is a modest citizen of the Y’illage of Commack. For several years he has been spending his odd time in experimenting upon a new method or process of building roads. He now has reache^d that point where the be lieves his method is perfected, and for the modest sum of $100,000 he w ill sell the secret of its composition to the government. He agrees to build ten rods of this road at his own expense and give it a test of two years under state or government inspectors, and all he will ask Is that if it proves a suc cess the state or government pay him the bonus he asks. A HUNTINGTON GENTUS. Huntington, L. I., May 19—Fayette Gould of this place, who Is knowm hereabouts as a genius and who has long since passed tho three score years and ten allotted to man, has just completeed a clock that for ingenuity in construction and completeness, all things considered. Is seldom equaled. Part of the works have an interesting history. They were found by the late Captain H ewlett J. Long of this place, on a battlefield near Charleston, S. C., during the war. They were part of a m ine that had been set to blow up the Yankees. The captain brought the works home and had them fitted to a clock. They kept good time. At the auction sale of Captain Long’s effects last fall Mr. Gould pur chased the clock. W ith the old works to be gin with he has constructed a clock that de notes the time of day, day of the week, day of the month, month of the year, each on sep arate dials. It attracts much attention. Another of Mr, Gould’s novelties is a ma chine by which he measures the diameter of hairs and even more minute articles. It Is similar to an. ordinary rule, but is filled with a dial which Is so arranged that the minutest measurements can be taken and easily com puted. NOTES OF THE LIFE SAVERS. Bay Shore, L.

NEW S FOR THE FISHERM E N . Rockaway Beach. L. I., May 19—The coming season for fishing in Jamaica Bay gives every promise of being the best in many years.

EBQM BESEByOlB Old Storage Tank of L. I. Supply Company in a Dangerous Condition. MA'Y BE CLEANED AT ONCE. Surface of W ater Covered With, a M a ss of Vegetable Matter—^Sast.New York People Alarmed. v To people tyho within a day or two havo visited the old reservoir of the Long Island W ater Supply Company on the Imights just north of Highland Boulevard, near Barbgy street, it does not seem at all strange that there has been a water famine in the Twen ty-sixth Ward for several days past. Since the officials of the local water department learned that the shortage of water in' the section named was not due to the work of connecting the old Brookl.vn water system and that acquired a few m onths ago of the Long Island W ater Supply Company, as they at'ftrst announced, plumbers and workmen have been busy digging up surface water pipes tO'clear them of vegetable m a tter with which they had become clogged. That vegetable iW tter cam e from the old re.servoir beyo^id alf-d^ubt, and there is enough there still • to-'disgust the people whose homes are supplied' there from. The reservoir, it would seem ,fought to be cleaned at once. Y'esterday afternoon considerable of th® surface of the water, possibly one-fifth, -was covered by a m ass of this vegetable m a tter. The wind blew w ith force and the m ass vina' driven to the south cud of the inclosure. It was several inches in depth, dark green in color and slim y in appearance. It resembled very much the filthy m a ss which covered the lakes in Prospect Park last summer, but it was denser and more slim y, if possible.^ The waters of the park lakes are used for boating purposes, but there was so much talk about that vegetable m a tter that the lakes had to be cleaned. The reservoir is the -source of supply for hundreds of fam ilies. 'The present condition of the old reservoir of the former Long Island W ater Supply Com pany stands in strong contrast to that of the Ridgewood reservoir, a short distance away. In the first named the water presents a filthy appearance, while in the other it is bright and clear. R esidents in the vicinity are displeased be^ cause the W ater Department has . failca to clean the little reservoir. A man- prominent in political circles said yesterday .that,\'vv*iiea the reservoir was the property. of= the. -Long Island W a ter Supply Company-it was .cleaned every year. He remarked that it was about tim e som ething in this way was done by tha W ater Department officials. Another- man, a plumber, said that there was som ething strange about the Tw e n ty-sixth Ward plant. He was inclined to the belief that the city officials had made a m istake in discharging the old employes until they had learned more about the workings of the plant. He had been told, ho said, that there were three gauges which only two or three men could lo cate. There are still many houses in tha T w e n ty-sixth Ward which have no supply of water. Many of the houses on Cleveland street and Arlington avenue have water again, but there are still many which are supplied by pail and bucket from those la their vicinity. Brownsville is s till suffering. DECORATION DAY. Northport, L. I., May 19—Samuel Ackertjl P o s t No. 426 has made its arrangem ents for the proper observance of Decoration Day» May 30.
