Below We print 4 very interesting
article OH tclepathy, which means, as
far as it can be put in language, com
E municationof minds ut great distances
without any known medium. The
Newberry Observer says the science,
If such it is, Is new. The unabridged
dictionaries OF only a few years ago
did not even contain the word ''tele
pathy." Still it is older than wireless
telegraphy; which it resembles in
some respects, but is far more wonder
full. Some sort Of reasonable and in
tellgiblc explanation can bc given OF
the MarcOni system Of wireless mes
suges between distant points, but
there is no explanation for this kind
Of communicat That the fact
exists cannot be questioned. All we
can say is, as Hamlet said to Iloratio:
"Therc are more things in heaven
and earth than arc dreamed of in your
philosophy
Every man may be his own tclc-
phone. This is the amazing declara
tion made by the believers in tclc
pathy, which may be described us the
wireless tclcyraphy Of the mind. Sir
William Cr0okeS has recently startled
the scientists Of the world by dccar-
ing that it may be possible to send
thoughts across the Atlantic ocean or
around the world without either cables
or the apparatus of Marcon.

tcrious power Of the human mind, is
not difficult to understand.
DIR. Il. Osgoud Mason, fellow Of the
New Turk Academy ol Mcuicine, says:
There arc fortunate individuals to-

graphs, but who can communicate
