NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

TELEPATHY. is. perhaps. reality
capable of intensive development, but
not In our day. with our rudimentary
mental development, may We acquire
the power of looking man squarely
in the eyes and reading his inmost
thoughts. Telepathy is uncertain. I'M
reliable, leading it's devotees to foolish
and grotesque conclusions.
Experimental telepathy ranks. in i'm
portance, with the surgical develop.
ment of autobiography. as prac'
ticed by adopts in the days of Calico.
Elko sweethearts are warned not to
try 1t, for the charm WON'T work in
these days. ~
In those good old times, when people
believed all manner of foolishness. the
leading savants, who had vague ideas
of the advent OF electricity and the
scientific control of the nervous sys.
TEN of the universe, cut corresponding
pieces of skin from their bodies,
snapped the pieces with each other,
and transplanted them, each piece
growing to the arm-the ENGRAVING
operation common in modern surgery.
Theory: The transplanted skin re-
tanned SO close sympathy with the
arm on which 1t grew that IL was
keenly sensitive TO any injury done the
latter. Everyone has heard the one
legged soldier tell, on cold day, how
he could feel the frost In the toes of
his lost leg, buried on the field of
Gettysburg. Well. they could tell just
as big ones in the days of Calico.
Having snapped and transplanted
the skin, the letters of the alphabet
were tattooed upon the pieces, and
whenever either member of the coterie
wished TO converse with his friend he
only had to prick the letters on his
arm with a needle, spelling out the
message, and as each letter was
pricked in his own arm n correspond
ing slight pain would be felt in that
of the other. In this manner, the gay
young courtier. barred from the bower
of his lady-love, could chat with her,
regardless of distance. at any hour of
the day or night.
Now. weren't they wise old guys in
the days of Calico?
In 1746, as men grew wiser, the uni
versal presence of electricity was dis.
covered. The Able Nollet was the
Franklin of that day. He transmitted
the shock of Leyden jar through a
number of Carthusian monks, joined
securely together by ircn wires and
forming 4 circle Tiile in circumfsl'
ence. The shock proved, of course,
that the electricity tTaversed the cir
cult. Now imagine those fat old
monks, merry as Falstaff, sitting in
the shade, jug of wine handy, tanning
themselves and waiting for Fra Nollet
TO turn the juice on. though they had
no idea what he was doing. The
chronicles relate that they rolled and
jumped and squalled and prayed and
that the good Able kept them jumping
at intervals till they promised all kinds
OF things. Imagine, too. their feeling
of awe and fear after this demonstra.
ton Of the Able IS power.
The wisest men of our day may ap.
pear equally ridiculous to the super.
savants of two hundred years from
now; they may show an Edison "as we
show an ape" for there are stranger
things in heaven and earth, Horatio
than are dreamt of in thy philoso
ply"
