An ELECTRIC
LOVE MACHINE.
Thousands Of Engaged Couples Visit
the Laboratory Of Prof. d'Odiardi.
To See Who Loves Most--Psycholo-
gists Experimenting to Learn If
Old Maids Can Fall in Love.
Other Uses for the Machine.

London, October 2.-The French
Academy of Sciences has in its posses
sion the most wonderful little instru-
ment ever invented. 1t is an Electric
Love Machine, and it's name is not half
as remarkable as the work which it
does.
This machine is the invention of
Prof. Savary d'Odiardi, of Silver street,
Nottingate Hill, London. The Profess
sor is very well known in France and
England. He received the medal of
honor from the French Humane Soci-
ETY. for his devotion to humanity, and
medal from the National Commission
for National Rewards for his works and
inventions.
Prof .d'Odiardi calls his Electric Love
Machine register Of cerebral force. He
says it indicates every motion and reads
every thought, but is strongest for love
and hate.
While the Chicago Humane Nature
club is giving its trolley parties and
receptions for the mating of males and
females, Prof d'Odiardi's little instru-
ment is doing its work much more quiz
city, and experts say, more accurately.

love Is strongest. Hate defects the
needle, and II the woman hates the man
the needle swings far away from her.
II, on the other hand. they love equally,
the needle stands still.
Married women visit Prof. d'Odiardi
to find if their husbands still love them.
There comes a time in the life of every
married man when he must stay out
late at night. This the wife construes
in different ways. 1t may be business,
1t may be pleasure. II the latter, he no
longer cares for her. By taking him to
Prof. d'Odiardi's machine she can tell
If he still loves her or if his love has
turned to indifference.
The machine is a,sn used by psychol-
ogiStS, who take old married people
there by way of experiment, to see If
love is permanent. They also have ex-
perimented somewhat with old maids
to find if they can love later in life. II
an old maid marries, say about the age
of forty years, psychologists who are in
terested in the Electric Love Machine
endeavOr to get her to the laboratory Of
Prof. d'Odiardi, to determine whether
she married from love or other motives.
This machine can be made useful in
divorces, to see il either had remained
constant in love. 1t can be used in
cases of separation, to determine the
custody of the child If the needle
swings towards the mother instead of
the father, her love must be stronger
than his. In that case both would have
to think intently of the child to in
f1uence the needle. OF course both
would endeavor to put force upon it,
and the needle would be true indica-
ton of the cerebral radiation of love.
There are many other adaptations for
the Electric Love Machine Phrenolo-
gists claim that no one should marry
without consulting those who can read
bumps. This may be true. The Love
Machine is also a good indicator, and
the man who consults both of these
authorities, and finds that in each case
his lady love registers true to him, need
have no objection to her on the ground
of false motives.
Prof d'Odiardi has been an electri-
clan since the age of ten, when he in
vented an electric apparatus. He is a
cousin of the late DR.. Cruveilhier. who
was the physician of King Louis
Philippe. He is of unquestioned stand
ing in the French and German schools,
and all of his discoveries and inventions
are treated with respect and not with in
creduility.

WORKS from phreno,ogy. Heads are
read. and husbands and wives selected.
But the d'Odiardi instrument works by
electricity and is controlled by thought.
When you come near this instrument
you Immediately notice that the needle
begins to swing. This, to the man who
can read it, means something; ana IL
you are provided with chart you can
read from the needle your own
thoughts, just as we'll as you can trans
late them from your own mind.
The instrument itself is very UMPIRE
tentious. 1t consists of a thread, from
which is hung tiny hatchet-shaped
instrument, which has senslt1zed nee
die. This swings over metal disc, IN
scribed with degrees. The instrument
stands upon a pedestal, and, 1T Is sald'
looks not unlike piece of brlc-a-brac
Every thought is registered by the
needle. with or without the wish OF the
gazer: and unconscious thoughts are
told as well as conscious ones. Below
the needle is a disc which records the
movements of the needle, by absorbing
all forces other than brain waves.
People who have small brain power
hardly influence the needle Drunken
men and idiots scarcely dehect IL, pc
cause they have so few brain waves.
Strong people cause the needle TO VI
brate rapidly, and when Mark IVAN
and Richard Croker tested the machihe
they found that the needle swung with
such force that the degrees upon tue
metal disc could not be recorded.
If you feel loving towards person
the needle comes towards you. II you
feel hateful, it swings away. rms fact
is of the greatest human interest, De-
cause it suggests so mucn.
The Professor uses his instrument al
SO to cure diseases. He studies the &C
ton of the mind, and note its influence
upon the body. This he afterwards
treats with his own electric cure.
But the instrument can be made OF
more general value as love machine
than it can by curing the sick. All peo-
ple feel or taste of love in some way
and there is no period of life when
man or woman is love proof. From the
age of sixteen to sixty the vein of love
runs through every human being, and
there are many cases in history Of those
who have felt its effects below and
above these ages.
The machine can fill the greatest hu-
man want, namely, that of supplying
cure for the greatest malady that is
known. love-sickness
Hundreds of people have tested this
love machine and have found it to work
quickly and accurately. 1t is useful to
three classes of people.
Lovers who want to find if their sweet
hearts are devoted to them. Young men
can take their sweethearts there and
place them opposite the electric needle.
The man stands at one pole and the
woman at the other. Both concentrate
their thoughts upon it. The young wo-
man thinks intently of the young man
and the young man thinks intently of
his sweetheart This is an anxious mo-
ment Both are awaiting the turn of
the needle. The one with joyous antic-
ipations, the other anxious Slowly and
slowly the needle begins to move, and
