TRYING TELEPATHY.

when Put to the Test 1t Proved Com-
plete Failure. gss a7s
"a year ago the first of this month, I"
said d New Orleans college professor
the other evening, "a little group of
serious-minded people out in our
neighborhood organized themselves
into an informal society for the pur.
pose Of making some Investigations
in what is called tslepathy, 'or thought
transference. We approached the
subject from strictly an impartial
standpoint, our only purpose being to
find out, If we could, whether there
was any real evidence in favor of the
phenomena. OF course there is plenty
of second, third and fourth hand tes.
timony in print. but that isn't exactly
satisfying to folks in dead earnest. and
we felt that it ought not to be difficult
in case thought transference is really
possible. to secure some proof to that
effect, which, however, slight, would
be absolutely definite. Well, we have
met about twenty-three or twenty four
times-the original intention being to
get together every other Monday--and
have attempted any number Of exper-
iments, and I am sorry to say the re-
suit has been fiat failure. We have
seen nothing that cannot be explained
more readily by coincidence than by
telepathy.
Here, TO illustrate, is the common
est test: A and B agree to sit down at
their respective homes at certain
hour and A undertakes to transfer q
thought to b. He concentrates his
will on that purpose while B tries to
maintain an open mind. We tried
that many times and occasionally sue.
ceeded, but always when the object
selected was something entirely ia.
miliar and apt to occur naturally to
two people of similar tastes. When
it was something odd or outre the
test invariably failed. Another ex-
pertinent we tried repeatedly was that
Of looking fxedly at people in crowds
with the intention Of making them
turn around. tits generally believed
that that can be done successfully by
almost anybody, and before ] tried it
systematically, I was sure had often
accomplished it myself. I am now
convinced that l was mistaken and
that the fixed stare is never responded
to except by mere chance. We re-
member one coincidence of that kind,
where We forget q hundred failures.
By the way, our little group has no
connection whatever with the sol dis
ant New Orleans branch of Psychical
Research society. We are very quiet

word in print concerning US. New
