PROF. LYMAN, of Yale college, thinks
that there is no deception in the opera
tions of Brown, the mind-reader, but
gives no satisfactory explanation OF the
phenomena. He simply calls them q
sort of mental telegraphy, and says
that a man physically strong and having
the power of mental concentration is
the best sort of person to operate with.
Brown has performed some OF his feats
while connected with another man
merely by a copper wire, and with a
good degree of success, though the re-
suits were not so striking as when there
was direct contact of flesh with flesh.

days he observed that there were many
c]ockroachcs lying dead, and upon exam

The ancicnts were ignorant of the art
Of cutting diamond, and hence they

the artists of Hindostan and China at n

the Europeans during the middle ages /;
