Suddenly there nosed out from

four evil-looking fellows in It. 1t
was the Hidden Hand, the fake
Ramsay, the fake butler and an
other. The rowboat pulled up ST.
lently under the cover OF the dock

Hand smiled as he read the name

Into the water he reached far down
with a monkey wrench and began

It. Then, as silently. with his evil
companions, he rowed back under

may get the blade in his heart, for
no "telepathic wave will substI-
tute itself for the IEht-ray from
eye to eye on which his safety de-
pended.
A familiar test of ''mindreading"
is finding a concealed object by TAX
ing the hand OF the person who hid
IT and leading him or her about the
room containing 1t until Il is found.
Success in this depends, II there is
no trickery through a confederate
or otherwise, upon noting uncon-
scIous movements, looks, or express
sions of the subject.
Nevertheless there are some Gu
rious results that have been OBJ
tained by very intelligent expert
menters, which, in their opinion. Of
fered proof of real telepathy. The
most startling Of these are alleged
phantasms caused to appear to per-
sons at a distance at the will of the
operator. In such cases the op-
orator. having the person who is to
be the subject OF the experiment in
mind. at the same time fixes his at
-tention upon the object or figure
(Which may be that of q man or q
woman) that he wishes to cause to
appear to the subject I have read
of at least one such case, IN which
the figure OF a woman was thus
made visible not only to the per-
son experimnted upon. but also to
a visitor who happened to be in the
room with him.
The operator who produced the
phantasm was miles away. I do
not vouch for this story, but you
can hnd If, and others similar, in the
reports of the Society for Psyehical
Research and allied publications.
One of the explanations that have
been suggested for the seeing Of
ghosts Qf ghosts ever are seen) is
that they are phantasms of dying
persons created by telepathy in the
minds Of friends upon whom the
thoughts Of the decedents are fIxed
at the moment of death. The visions
of dreams have also been suggested
as probable subjects of telepathic
control
The late William T. Stead, among
his many intellectual interests.
paid much attention to the question
of teIepSthy, and assisted in ex-
periments upon It. At one time he
believed that he had. found an opera
tor who was able to communicate
his thoughts from London to a reel
pient in central England, and at
the request Of the editor of the New
York American 1 prepared some
tests which were cabled to Mr..
Stead. but the latter reported that
the operator found the tests too
severe" and nothing more came
of it
But I by no means think that the
advocates Of telepathy should be
ruled out of court They may
make out a good case some day. but.
while admitting that, we should
continue to subject all of their
eases" to the strict rules of scientI-
nc evidence.
