every thought, but it is strongest for love
and hate.
While the Chicago Human Nature Club
is giving it's trolley parties and receptions
for the mating of males and females, Prof
dOdiardis little instrument is doing its
work much more quietly, and experts say,
more accurately. The Chicago Human
Nature Club works from phrenology.
Heads are read, and husbands and wives
selected. But the d'Odardi 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; and if you
are provided with a chart you can read
from the needle your own thoughts, just
as well as you can translate them from
your own mind.
The instrument itself is very unpreten-
tiOus. 1t consists of a thread, from which
is hung tiny hatchet-shaped instrument,
which has a sensitized needle. This
swings over metal disc inscribed with
degrees. The instrument stands upon a
pedestal and. it is said, looks not unlike
a piece of bric-a-brac.
Every thought is registered by the nee
die, with or without the wish of the gaz-
er; and unconscious thoughts are told as
well as conscious ones. Below the needle
Is disc which records the movements of
the needle by absorbing all forces other
than brain waves.
People who have small brain power
hl
men and idiots scarcely defect 1t, because
they have so few brain waves. Strong
people cause the needle to Vibrate rapid
ly, and when Mark Twain and Richard
Croker tested the machine they, found that
the needle swung with such force that
the degree upon the metal could not be
recorded.
If you feel loving towards a person the
needle comes toward 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 influence upon
the body This he afterwards treats with
his own electric cure.
But the instrument can be made of more
general value as a love machine than If
can by curing the sick. All people feel
or taste of love in some way and there
man is love proof. From the age of Is
to 60 the vein of love runs through every
human being, and there are many cases

teets below and above these ages.
mis- machine can fill the greatest HUI
man want, namely, that of supplying a
cure for the greatest malady that is
known. love-sickness!
Hundreds of people have tested this
love machine and have found il to work
quickly and accurately. 1t is useful 10
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 a the other. Both concentrate
their thoughts upon it. The young wo
man thinks intently of the young man
and the young man thinks intentIy 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 slowly the
needle begins to move, and with a few vi
brating movements it swings itself towards
the one whose love is the strongest. Hate
defects the needle, and if the woman
hates the man the needle swings far
away from her. IT, 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 CONSTITUTES in dit
ferent ways. 1t may be business. it may
be pleasure. If the latter he no longer
cares for her. BY taking him to Prof
d Odiardrs machine she can tell if he SIN
loves her or II his love has turned to in
difference.
The machine is also used by psycholo-
gists, who take old married people there
by way of experiment, to see If love is |
permanent. They also have experimental
somewhat with old maids to find if they
can love later in life. If an old maid
marres, say about the age of 40 years.
