siblc at distance from each other.
We have seen too many apparent mir
aclcs in our time to say with certain
ty that anything is impossible. Bish-
op Fallows, Of Chicago, said to a re-
porter, who interviewed him on the
subject: "Tclepathy has been proven
without the possibility Of doubt. 1t
is no longer theory, buta fact. Tel
epathy or tclcgraphy-as you may
choose to call it-takcs on precisely
the same principle as the new wireless
telcgraphy. In the first instance
thought waves travel through the eth
cr, and the other electric waves. To
call thought physical substance may
sound strange, but it is true neyc. che
lcss and the waves Of ideas travel
from cue persons brain to another in
stantly, in entire disregard to distance
or intervening obstacles. Before
thought telepathy lies limitlcss posi-
bilities in sending messages to God,
and to our fellowmen in all parts Of
the earth. I hail him as bcnefactor
of his race Who will teach people
how to use this tremendous psychic
force
The influence of one mind over an:
other in small things is 40 common an
occurrence that it hardly attracts q
moments attention: II was just
thinking Of you as you rang the bell, !"
is an ordinary remark when friend
enters; as though his thoughts and in
teniions had outrun his bodily pres
ence, and had made themselves felt
by the person he was about to visit
before he was actually in sight. The
same thing is constantly occurring
upon the street and through the tele-
phone, showing that there is some
mysterious communication between
minds or on influence Of mex plicable
kind that warns US of the approach Of
those who are thinking of US. Long
before telepathy was dreamed Of this
kind Of experience gave rise to the
proverb: Talk of angels and you will
hear their WINGS" the less polite,
Talk of the devil and he will ap-
pear" We may not be warned by
"the pricking of the thumbs which
told the witches Of Maobeth's ap-
proach, but there is warning all the
same frequently unobserved because
people, as rule, do not take note of
such things, but very plain to those
who do.
An electrical engineer Of Scranton,
Penn. who has given considerable
study to telepathy. probably induced
to do so by his intimate knowledge Of
the wonders Of electricity. says: II
have made number of carefully con.
Quoted experiments in mental telegra.
ply and have succeeded in obtaining
results far beyond my expectations. I
have been able to communicate with
persons 30 far distant es four hundred
miles, not in single instance only,
but repeatedly. I have also succeed
ed in receiving message Of this char
acter from one who was thousand
miles away. At distances within the
limits Of an ordinary room T have
made any number Of successful
experiments. Not this only, but
have abundance Of evidence which
goes to prove that this ability to send
and receive telepathic communication
IS possessad by every one. My expe-
rience seems, however, to point
to theory based upon the we'll known
laws of sympathetic molecular vibra-
ton"
Of course, when theory like this
of mental telegraphy is broached one
expects to have it ridiculed or utterly
repudiatcd by the majority of those to
whom he speaks; not because they
have examined the subject and found
the theory untenable, but simply be.
cause they have given it no attention
whatever and know nothing in the
world about it. Those who have given
it their most earnest attention and
study are generally convinced that
there is much more in the theory than
is yet understood, and believe that the
day will come when it will be as we'll
established fact as is telcgraphy at
present. There are more things in
heaven and earth than are dreamed Of
in our philosophy And after all,
what is prayer but mental teiegraphy? I?
With the thoughts earnestly fixed
upon Him who has promised to hear
our prayers, we Jour out the desires
