A LOVE INDICATOR.
WHAT WILL SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
NEXT DISCOVER?
1t Is Claimed That sweethearts
May Test the Intensity of Recip.
rOcal Affection by the Aid OF a
Lutte Machine Actuated by the
subtle Current Electricity.

A wonderful little instrument has
been invented, which, if it is ever
placed on the Olympia market, will
be purchased by every lovesick swain
and maiden in the city. 1t is an elec-
trio love machine and its name is not
half as remarkable as the work which
it does.
This machine is the invention of
Prof. Savary dOdiardi, of Silver street,
Nottingdale Hill, London. The pro-
fessor is very we'll known in France
and England. He received tbs medal
of honor from the French Humane
Society for his devotion to humanity,
and a medal from the National Com
mission Of Awards for his works and
inventions.
Prof. d'Odiardi calls his electric love
machine a register of cerebral forces.
He says it indicates every motion and
reads every thought, but it is strong
est for love and hate. The d'Odiardi
instrument works by electricity. and is
controlled by thought.
When you come near this instru-
ment you Immediately notice that the
needle begins to swing. This, to the
man who can read it, means some
thing; and if you are provided with a
chart you can read from the needle
your own thoughts just as we'll as you
can translate them from your own
mind.
The instrument itself is very unpre-
tentious. 1t consists OF q thread,
from which is hung a tiny, hatchet-
shaped instrument, which has sensi-
tized needle. This swings over me-
tai disc, inscribed with degrees. The
instrument stands upon pedestal and
looks not unlike piece of bric-a-brac.
Every thought is registered by the
needle, with or without the wish of
the gazer; and unconscious thoughts
are told as we'll as conscious ones. Be-
low the needle is disc which records
the movements of the needle, by alb
sorbing all forces other than brain
waves.
People who have small brain power
hardly influence the needle. Drunken
men and idiots scarcely defect it, be-
cause they have so few brain waves.
Strong people cause the needle to Vi
brate rapidly, and when Mark Twain
and Richard Croker tested the ma
chine they found that the needle
swung with such force that the de-
grees upon the metal disc could not
be recorded.
If you feel loving towards person
the needle comes towards you. If you
feel hateful, it swings away. This
fact is of the greatest human interest,
because it suggests so much.
The professor uses his instrument
also to cure diseases. He studies the
action Of the. mind, and notes its influ-
ence upon the body. This he after
wards 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
people feel or taste Of love in some
way and there is no period in life when
a 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.
This machine can fill the greatest
human want, namely, that of supply
ing a cure for the greatest malady that
is known, lovesickness.
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 out if their
sweethearts 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 thought upon
it. The young woman thinks intently
of the young man, and the young man
thinks intently of his sweetheart.
This is an anxious moment. Both
are awaiting the turn of the needle.
The one with joyous anticipations;
the other anxious. Slowly and surely
the needle begins to move and with
few vibrating movements it swings it.
self towards the one whose love is
strongest. Hate defects the needle,
and if the woman hates the man the
needle swings far away from her. If,
on the other hand, they love equally,
the needle stands still.
Married women visit Prof. dOdiardi
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
NAV be business, it may be pleasure.
If the latter, he no longer cares for
