MIND-READlNG OF THE FUTURE.
VIII 1t Be Possible to Read Thought
ThrOuph the Eyps?

VIII 1t Be Possible to Read Thought
Through the Eyes?
1t can be taken as fact, which the
theory of the action of the eye implies,
that for each external impression, that
is, for each image produced on the
retina, the ends of the visual nerves
concerned in the conveyance of the i'm
preston to the mind must be under a
peculiar stress or in a vibratory state.
1t now does not seem improbable
that when by the power of thought an
image is evoked, distant reflex action,
no matter how weak, is exerted upon
certain ends of the visual nerves, and,
therefore, upon the retina. Will it
ever be within human power to analyze
the condition of the retina when dis
turbed by thought or reflex action, by
the help of some optical or other means
of such sensitiveness, that clear idea
of its state might be gained at any
time?
If this were probable, then the prob
lem of reading ones thoughts with
precision, like the characters of an
open book might be much easier to
solve than many problems belonging
to the domain of positive physical
science, in the solution of which many
if not the majority of scientific men
implicitly believe. Helmholtz has
shown that the fund.- of the eyes are
| themselves luminous, and he was able
to see in total darkness the movement
of his arm by the light of his own
eyes.
This is one of the most remarkable
experiments recorded in the history of
science, and probably only a few men
could satisfactorily repeat it, for it is
very likely that the luminosity of the
eyes is associated with uncommon ac-
tivity of the brain and great magma
tive powers tits fluorescence of brain
activity, as it were, in all it's essential
