Force
ing Motive Impulse.
Cheyreul's well-known experiments
with the exploratory pendulum and the
divining rod show that, if we represent
to ourselves a motion in any direction,
the hand will uncousciously realize it
and communicate it to the pendulum.
The tipping table realizes movement
we are anticipating, through the inter-
vention of a real movement of the
hands. of which we are not conscious
Mind-reading, by those who divine by
taking your hand where you have hid
den anything, is reading of imper-
ceptible motions by which your thought
is translated without your being con-
scious of them. In cases of fascination
and vertigo, which are more visible
among children than among adults,
a movement is begun the sus.
pension of which is prevented by
a paralysis of the will, and il
carries us on to suffering and death.
When child, l was navigating plank

The mere thought of vertigo provoked
1t. The board lying on the ground sug-
gests no thought of a fall when you
walk over it; but when it is over a
precipice and the eye takes the measure
of the distance to the bottom, the rep
| resentation of a falling motion becomes
intense, and the impulse to fall corre-
spondingly SO. Even if you are safe,
there may still be what is called the
attraction of the abyss. The vision Of
the gulf is a fixed idea, having pro-
duced an exhibition" on all your ideas
and forces, nothing is left but the figure
of the great hole, with the intoXication
of the rapid movement that begins in
and tends to turn the scales of the men,

tinual in children because everything
is new to them, is nothing else than
the force of an idea and the motive inn
pulse that accompanies it.-Alfred
