4 by a. shield which captures the vibra
( tions, they are conducted to a receiy
er more delicate and sensitive than
anything which has ever, been achiey,
ed by scientific process before. That
receiver collects these vibrations and
can transmit them, just In the manner
Of q telephone or telegraph wire, for
almost any distance.
And at the other endg" Marjorie
asked.

Therefore? IN
''What a person thinks in London
can be sent In vibrations along wire
J TO Paris.
II seel understand! But when
there they can only be transmitted to
another brain, OF course. You mean
that you have invented a more mar
velous system Of telegraphy than has
ever been Invented before. For In
stance, i could sit here in this room
and communicate with you with abso-
Lutte freedom In Paris. How wonderful
that lis! What a triumphant achieve
ment! Butbut, William, marvellous
I as II IL, you do not substantiate what
I you said just now. The secrets of
thought may be yours, but only when

Once more they were standing to-
gether, strained with wonder, with
amaaement and triumph passing be-
tween them like the shuttle of 8 loom.
Once more she was caught up in high
realms Of excitement and dawning
knowledge, the gates to which had
never been opened to her brain before.
To come back to the monograph"
Sir William said, THE marks are
made upon the waxen cylinder and
they are reproduced in sound, record
81. s,ss,n metal cylinders, to remain for
ever as q definite reproduction Of the
human voice. Now and here leone
to the final point OF all II have discov-
cred means by which thought can be
turned into actual vision, into an actu.
Af expression of itself COR every one to
read. What | mean is this: i have
discovered the process, and I have In
vented the machine by which, as a
person thinks, the thought can be con-
veyed to any distance along the wire,
can be received at the other end by an
instrument which splits it up into this
or that vibration. And these vibra-
tions actuate upon a machine, com
;bination OF the spectroscope and the
bioscope, which shows them upon
screen In tha form of either pictures
or Of words-as the thoughts OF the.
thinker are at chat moment sent OFT.
by the brain IN words or pictures. &
Then what does this mean 2,
means that once by apparatus,
whether by consent OF the subject or
nv force, ta employed to collect the
thought vihratl oEs, then no secrets
can be hidden. he human soul must
reveal itself. Human personality is
robbed Of is only defense. There
Will be no need to try the criminal Of
the future. He must confess In spite
ot himself. The inviolability OF
thought Is destroyed The lonely cita-
del Of self exists no longer. The pious
hypocrite must give his secrets to the
world, and saints and sinners must
confess TO man what only God knew
before. Nj
