Where the Subject InvoluntarIy Fur
nishes CleW That Lays
Secret Bare.

We all know one kind of mind read
ing which looks very astonishing and
yet which there is no difficulty at all
in explaining. 1t is a favorite perfor-
nance on the stage, and not seldom
tried as parlor game. l refer to the
kind of mind reading in which one
person thinks of hidden coin, and
the other holds his wrist and is then
able to find the secreted object, writes
Hugo Munsterberg in the Metropoli-
tan. There is no mystery in such ap-
parent transmission of the idea, be-
cause it is the result of small uninten-
tiOnal movements of the arm. The
one who thinks hard of the corner of
the room in which the coin placed
cannot help giving small impulses in
that direction. He himself is not
aware of these faint movements, but
the man who has fine sense of touch
becomes conscious of these move
ments in the wrists which his fingers
grasp, and under the guidance of these
ticular place.
A very neat form of the same type
is often seen on the stage, when the
performer is to read a series of num-
bers in the mind of some one who
thing intensely of the figures. Some
one in the audience thinks of the num-
81. The performed asks him to think
of the first figure then he grasps his
hand and counts slowly from zero to
nine. After that he asks him to think
of the second figure and counts once
more. Immediately after he will an
nounce rightly the two digits. Again
there was no mystery in it. He knows
that the man who thinks of the fig
ure five will make a slight involuntary
movement when the five is reached in
counting, and the same movement will
occur at the seven in the second
counting. If he is very we'll treated,
he will not need the touching of the
hand; he will perform the same ex-
pertinent with figures without any
actual contact whatever. 1t will be
sufficient to see the man who is think
ing of figure while he himself is
counting. AS soon as the dangerous
digit is reached the man will give
some unintentional sign. Perhaps his
breathing will become a degree deep
er or stop for a moment, his eyelids
may make a reflex movement, his fin
gers may contract bit. This remains
entirely unnoticed by any one in the
audience, but the professional mind
reader has heightened his sensibility
so much that none of these involun-
tary signs escape him Yet from the
standpoint of science his seeing these
subtle signs is on principle no differ
ent from our ordinary seeing when a
man points his finger in some direc-
ton.

New Asparagus Product.

Cellulose is now recovered from the
waste Of asparagus canning factories
by the recently discovered process Of
Otto Reinke of Hamburg. He also
makes use of the stalks which mature
after the edible crop is gathered.
Heretofore these residues have been
practically worthless, except as fer
tilizers. as they have but little nutri-
tive value when used as coarse paper
or packing materials have not re-
suited satisfactorily. After undergo
ing comparatively simple mechan-
ical and chemical treatment they yield
a beautiful pure cellulose, which may
be used for bandage, blasting mate
