Many’ years ago, ‘Herman
Wolf was entertaining a
guest at his parents rural
home. near.. Bremen, Ger-
many, when, in_ general

conversation, Wolf's mother ~
mentioned that a huge pond.

- in their garden was ‘leaking’.

: "The guest said he might be

_able to‘help and immediately
- fashioned a forked. dowsing
rod.

_ Taking the_rod, he walked.
out to the’ pond and in a
short time pinpointed the
exact location of the ‘un-

draining. the pond. The
Wolf's: were delighted and
even more so when their
guest proceeded to teach
them the fine points of the
art of dowsing.

Herman Wolf was actually
more amazed than delighted
because his friend and guest
was none other than .the

‘celebrated scientist Albert

Einstéin. While lesser people .

scoffed, not only did this

practised the art himself!

woman, Evelyn Penrose.

Born near St. Ives,
Cornwall in 1883, Evelyn
soon found: she had the

divining gift (which both her
father and grandmother had)
and even as a girl was able to
locate water and minerals
with ease.

try, visited the oil fields. It

After spending some time
in California and Hawaii,
Evelyn Penrose moved north
to Canada, going to British
Columbia where a seven
year drought was creating

. havoc. In desperation the

provincial government there
hired her as its official water-

diviner. They were not
disappointed with , the
results.

attempt at open-mindedness
received a jolt when a M.
Mathieu informed the

he claimed that water and

Working on a map of a
plot of land owned by a
committee member,
Mathieu successfully
marked the map with all the
locations of water — surface
and underground — which
were in that area. A‘ second
and more difficult’ test was
also passed with flying colors
by the gifted Frenchman.

Evelyn Penrose later read
of these astonishing
demonstrations and
naturally wished to duplicate
them. Using a government

Evelyn certainly reacted
to the sensations produced
