This appendix is added showing cases something in harmony with the arguments here presented on all these subjects, to which could be added several times as many more. While most of the points intended for a brief discussion in this book have been hit upon, a few words, with some newspaper clippings on mysterious things, are thought best to be added as a sort of appendix, and of such a character as to prove of benefit to some readers that see fit to avail themselves of a few hints to obtain water, for domestic or irrigating purposes, in an easy way, and where they would naturally least expect to find it. At my old home, on the farm where I was born, our well, some thirty feet deep, nearly every season went dry. I have lugged hundreds of pails of water from neighbors’ wells and from a spring near the foot of the hill, one-third of a mile away, during my early life. The hill is little over a half mile long, and less than one-fourth a mile wide from its furthest bases. It is shaped like a box turtle, rising 100 feet or more. There used to be a place near the top, on the east slope, that looked springy. The recent owner, a few years ago, dug into this wet spot, and at a few feet found living water, which is now piped to his house and barns in plenty. Some years ago my cousin owned the adjoining farm on the north end of this hill, and employed a man to blast out several large iron rocks, scattered about on the surface of the hill. One of these rocks, nearly a rod square, lay almost exactly on the highest part of the hill. This big rock was full of large cracks, which, in my boyhood, I took a young visitor to see, explaining to him that these cracks, no doubt, occurred at the time of the crucifixion, of which pious information I was frequently reminded in later life. This rock was some eight feet deep in the ground. When the last blocks were hauled out the space partly filled with clear water, so cold that it was made available for drinking. Being in the dryest time of the year, the supply appeared to be permanent, which induced the laying of pipes one-third of a mile to barns for watering stock, which before had to be drawn mostly from the wells.
