and its name is not halt as remarAaoie
as the work which it does.
This machine Is the invention OF Prof.
sayarv dOdlardi. OF Silver street, Not
tineate Tuu London. The Professor Is
very wen known in France and England.
I4e received the medal OF honor from the
French Humane Society for his devotion

ional Commission for National Rewards
for his works and inventions.

Machine a register Of cerebral force. lie

YOU are provided with chart you can
read from the needle your own thoughts
lust as well as you can translate them
from your own mind.
The instrument itself is very unpre-
tentious. It consists OF thread, from
which is hung a tiny hatchet-shaped IN
strument, which has sensitized neeale.
This swings over a medal disc, inscribed
with degrees. The instrument stands upon
a pedestal and, II Is said, looks not unlike
a piece Of bric-a-brac.
Every thought IS registered by the
needle. with or without the wish OF tno
e,azer. and unconscious thoughts are toto
as well as conscious ones. Below the
needle is a dice which records the move
ments OF the needle. by absorbing all
forces other than brain waves.
poonle who have small brain power
hardly influence the needle. Drunken
men and idiots scarcely defect IT, be-
couee they have so few brain waves

Richard Croker tested the machine they
found that the needle swung with such
force that the degrees upon the metal DISC
could not be recorded.

,rbe Professor uses his instrument also
IN cure diseases. He studies the action

the body. This he afterwards treats with
his own electric cure.
