Powerful Influence L
Gagged by Amount of
Mental Force

The greater the mental force
the more powerful the influence.
When the brain of Napoleon
was behind the pointing hand
tens of thousands of men were
transformed into an irresistible
on-rolling wave that nothing
could withstand.
We do not need to seek long
in the events of everyday life
in order to find examples of the
marvellous transference of one
mans mental energy to hun
dreds and thousands of others,
who go where he points, do what
he wills, and, for the time being,
become, as it were, mere exten-
sions of himself. We have long
been accustomed TO speak of
men who readily command other
men as possessing superior mag
netic force, and we have always
known that such men excel the
majority in mental power. Now
we, perhaps. are getting clew
to the nature Of their influence,
and, like so many other things,
il reduces itself to electricity.

Through Electricity the
Condition of the Heart
May Be AsCertained

Every beat OF your heart has
its electric accompaniment, and
DR.. P. Goggia has shown that
by means of electric instruments
recording the differences Of po-
tential produced by the action Of
the cardiac, or heart muscles,
the state of the great pumping
engine of the human body as to
health or disease may be ascer-
tanned.
Messrs. Phillipson and Men
zerath have carried this method
further They have applied it to
the study of the electric effects
of our thoughts and emotions.
If sudden light is flashed
into the eyes a change of
electric potential occurs in the
body The same thing happens
when a sound strikes the ear.
These things produce emotions
having an external physical ori-
gin But like changes occur as
the result of an internal emo
ton, arising from the silent
passage of thought through the

ing experimental with is asked

-LECTRICITY seems to be
the great connecting link
between the various phe-
nomena of nature If we could
once thoroughly understand cleo
tricity we might understand all
the natural forces, and life itself.
If you put any two unlike sub
stances in contact a difference of
electric potential instantly arises
between them; one becomes pos
itively and the other negatively
electrified.
If you stretch a rubber band
minute electric forces appear in
it. The same thing happens if
you change the form of a drop
of mercury or of water.
Every motion of your body is
accompanied by electric varia-
tions. A wh,rling wheel, a grow
ing plant, a forming cloud, fly
buzzing through the air, bullet
speeding on its way, wind
blowing over the earth, nebula
condensing in space and
thought arising in your brain
all these give rise to electric
manifestations, proportioned to
the physical forces called into
play.
Whenever you bend your arm,
or open or close your fingers, or
strike blow, or WELD pen, or
play piano, differences of cleo
tric potential, capable of meas
urement with modern instru-
ments, show themselves at vari-
GUS points in the muscles that
produce motion.

Always it is the right hand
which becomes positively electri-
fed with regard to the left. This
is true even if the subject is
habitually 'left handed" The
mental activity seems to engen-

right hand, the surface of the
skin on the back of the hand is

positive charge manifests itself

At present these facts are

it is found, surprising light on

The connection between men
tai action and the electrifcation
of the right hand leads to many
curious reflections. The right
hand is the scepter of the brain.
When command is given the
hand is instinctively extended.
That act, in critical circum-
stances-on a battlefield, for in
stance-is sometimes almost
magical in its influence. 1t is
as if the electric force, radiated
from the extended hand, con-
veyed to thousands of brains the
will and the mental energy of
the commander. The soldier
feels the electric impulse, all the
cells of his brain set themselves
in accord with the current of in
visible force transmitted to
them, he faces the way the
pointing hand indicates, and,
forgetting fear, forgetting self,
experiencing only the overmas-
tering influence of the directing
hand, he plrnges onward to
death or to victory.
