Some Of tho Tricks Of So Called Mind
Readers Solved by Dr. Hy.Iop

| DR.. Hyslop OF Columbia college, says
writer in the Boston Herald, has help
ed to bring down several so called mind
readers who have visited New York
The Taylors, man and woman who
gave exhibitions in New York two
years ago and convinced nearly every
one who saw them Of the genuineness Of
their manifestations, gave a private Sc
ance for the benefit Of this Columbia
professor and some Of his scientific
friends. They found hidden objects,
they picked out cards that had been Sc
lected from pack and then shuffled In
again, and all the other familiar tricks,
with more than common success, one OF
them staying in the room and being in
the secret, and the other coming in aft
er all was ready and supposedly read.

All went we'll until Dr. Hyslop and q
confederate took the Taylors aback by
announcing that they could do the same
things They had found that tho words
used by one Of the mind readers" In
calling the other into the room were
what gave the desired information. It
was discovered that by skillful arrange
ment Of not more than six words n sur.
prising amount Of information could be-
conveyed. This is the first time the fact
that the Taylors were not genuine mind
readers has been made public.
Another mind reader exposed by
DR.. Hyslop and coinvestigators was
Guibal. who gave exhibitions in New
York recently and astonished hundreds
OF persons, most Of whom suppose to
this day that his tricks were bona fide

was a woman called Greville, who sat
on the stage, and who, so far as could
be seen for long time, gave him abso.
lutely no sign Of what was in her mind.
Guibal apparently read that mind as IL
1t were an open book. The whole thing
was found to BIS trick, and the expla-
nation is now in the archives Of the So
ciety for Psychical Research. 1t is be-
lieved that Guibal and Greville were
the same persons whose performances
had amazed London not long before,
