The CAUCASIAN does NOT yet be-
lieve this, but gives it as claim OF
p.os. marvellous invention:
Il Washington inventor claims to
have discovered a means of trans
lating thoughts direct from the
thinkers brain to a registering ma
chine. From this machine anybody
can read the thoughts. a man may
dictate to q stenographer without ut
tering a worldly simply thinking.
The machine may be placed near a
murderer's head, and, in spite of
himself. his most secret thoughts
will be accurately registered. These
are the inventors solemn and posi-
tive claims. When his patents are
secure, he promises to give the pub
lie practical test Of his astonish-
ing invention.
It is machine which will record
the thoughts. 1t will pinion human
fancies and dreams in their flight
and give them existence as soon as
they are born in the mind of man.
1t will lay the human soul under
microscope, and the most secret
thoughts and emotions can be dis
covered without the knowledge of
the person who is thinking.
. 1t will retain thought just as the
photograph cylinder retains the hui
: man voice for months and years.
You can think into it to-day, and to:
morrow send it across the ocean, and
there the inner workings of your
mind can be understood when you
yourself may be forgotten.
Not only are human thoughts re.
= corded in this wonderful machine
but the emotions of an animal, thu
strange force we call instinct, cal
be readily recorded and understood
The possibilities of this invent iol

innermost thoughts will be exposed
just as the Roentgen ray penetrate
the flesh. Criminals can be detecte'
