EARTH RESOURCES
FINDER DEVELOPED
Divining Rod to Transmit
Electricity Through Water
Made by Sundberg.
BY HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Editor.
NEW YORK, February 17.—Karl
Sundberg, Swedish electrical wizard,
has discovered a universal "open
sesame” to detect vast resources lying
beneath the earth's surface.
His finder, a scientific divining rod.
Is the transmission of electrical currents
through the water which permeates the
earth's crust everywhere. Even in the
solidest rock he finds water enough to
•end the sounding messages.
He reported his method of readings
to the American Institute of Mining
and Metallurgical Engineers today. Mr.
Sundberg is world famous as a pioneer
In using electricity to feel out the na
ture of deeply buried rocks. He is
chief engineer of the Aktiebolaget Elek
trisk Malmletning of Stockholm.
Two Kinds of Water.
There are two kinds of water in the
earth's crust, he said, vadose and
phreatic. Vadose is moisture near the
surface, mixed with some air, sticking
in small particles by molecular attraction
to the various kinds of soil. Phreatic
water is usually deep down, locked fast
by great pressure, permeating even the
igneous rocks in countless billions of
corpuscles almost too tiny for a micro
scope to reveal.
All this water, he said, transmits
electric currents applied to the earth's
surface. Through some soils and some
rocks the currents travel easily. On
others there is high resistance. Mag
netic instruments pick up these cur
rents on their return and the resist
ance shows in a universal language
many things about the nature of the
earth they have traversed.
Many Scientist* Given Credit.
He gave the engineers tables of
mathematical formulae showing some
of the interpretations. The igneous
rocks, those formed under white heat
and’ great pressure, offer the highest
resistance. 5 to 50 times as much as
do porous clays, sands, limes, sand
stones and soils.
"Young sediments,” which are the
newest portions of the earth, often can
be detected by the ease with which
thev transmit the electrical currents.
Mr. Sundberg gave credit to many
scientists for discovering the facts on
which his work is based.
Electrical and artificial earthquake
methods of prospecting are far behind
the theory stage. Geologists have used
them to locate oil and salt success
fully. and have found that with more
experience they can be applied to many
kinds of mineral deposits.
SILESIAN GLIDING SCHOOL
DRAWS MANY AMERICANS
Motoress Branch of Flying Is
Pressed in Germany's
Giants Mountains.
BERLIN. Germany (Special).—Of
the 446 students enrolled last year in
the Silesian School of Gliding, in the
Giants Mountains in Germany, many
were Americans.
Because Germany popularizes this
particular branch of flying more than
any country, gliding courses at the
Silesian school drew a great number of
other foreign students, such as French,
Swiss, English and Brazilians.
The youngest student at the Silesian
school last year was 15 years old, while
the oldest was 56.
