MIND OVER MArrEn
0Aectrtctans whose Experiment,
Arc Startling and Convinciur

"Aectrtcians whose Experiment.
Are Startling and Convincing,
The power Of mind over matter II
Illustrated In recent electricity expert
ments made by DR.. Otto Won der Pfor-
dten, who believes he has shown that
the action Of electricity in the human
oody may be modified or even neutral
ized by the state of the mind. Aspi-
nais mas already noted that electric
ians wno' when asleep, have touched
dangerous live wires have suffered no
INJURY except burn; and Jellinek
round that an ordinarily deadly current
did not harm rabbits when they were
cnioroformed. Of greater interest still
are the cases where the action of the
current Is neutralized by mans
strained expectation or attention. Elec-
trlclans, he says, often touch parts Of
the machinery to ascertain if there Is
a current in them and while this con-
scious and deliberate act results in no
harm, unintentional contact with a
less powerful current proves fatal. In
experimenting on himself Jellinek has
round that an unexpected shock Of $50
volts was terrible, whereas an ex-
pected shock Of 500 volts made little
Impression. But this was a bagatelle
compared with the exhibition of cour-
age given by Herr Won Dobrowolsky,
VINO broke wire containing 10000
volts and picked up one end Of it in
the presence Of several dismayed ex-
pern without suffering the least harm.
TO do such a thing one must be alb
solutely fearless Of death, or else ono
must have the force of an engineer
who has learned to control the power
full electric fluid" The force, DR.. Won
der Pfordten declares, is will power,
and he adds: There is something i'm
posing In this idea that the will power
IN such case opposes itself to death
as an equal force and comes out trium-
plant" DR.. Hufeland was convinced
that most nervous disorders are caused
by mental influence and passiveness,
weak yielding to bodily sensations and
Impressions As he cites Pinel, who
found that during the excitement Of the
French revolution many persons who
had for years been weak and sickly be-
came healthy and strong, this being true
especially among the indolent members
Of the aristocracy, whose nervous trou-
bles disappeared entirely.
The Japanese have a special method
of training the will from early child
hood, and it has been plausibly argued
that it was this study Of will power
more than anything else that enabled
them to overcome the Russians.
