From the enormous mass Of tesu-

experiences relative to the subject of
telepathy, it will be seen that this sub

and honesty of those implicated in the
data
Mr.. Podmore, who has lately coilated
much of the evidence at the disposal of
the Research Society. and who has
guarded against every ordinary liabii-
ity to error, states that while the evil
dence is as yet hardly adequate for the
establishment of telepathy as an indis-
putable fact. that many extraordinary
cases related by him land whhch are
fully estabIshed) cannot be satisfact-
orily explained on any ground yet Of
fered except the concession of telepathy
as fact.

its laws. Is not continuing in character
and that these so-called laws are
merely the mountain peaks that guide
our attention to the continental fnteili-
gerice on which they rest; that the
great forces called electricity and
magnetism, with their subtier relative
nerve force, are not the emphasis at
certain points of the alI-peryading In
teiligence? Who can positively state
that these potent factors are not differ
ent expressions of the same force and
interchangeable when conditions favor?
