ABBE TO SEEK FOR OIL
WITH MYSTICAL CLOCK
Coming to U. S. With Mysterious
Implements to Seek Sources
of Petroleum and Water.
PARIS (iP). —Bearing his rod and
clock, Abbe Lambert plans to go to the
United States to prospect for oil and
water.
The abbe, who has been army officer,
doctor of theology, journalist and coun
try priest, is credited with discovering
water sources in Europe, the Near East
and Africa—notably on the Sahara
desert. It Is said he located an under
ground stream In Marseilles which had
been causing landslides.
His method is something of a mys
tery. He walks around a suspect spot
with a clock and an assistant follows
him with the rod. When the clock
turns in his hand, he says: “There you
will find water if you dig a hole."
Sometimes they do.
It has been suggested that If the
ancient libraries of Central Asia were
ransacked and diligently gone over we
should find accounts of voyages or mi
grations from China to the New World
dating hundreds and perhaps thousands
of years ago.
