Some wonderful effects have been pro.
duced by psychologists in experiments in
suggestion. A simple experiment upon
which nearly all the others are based is
the experiment of Chevreurs pendulum.
The pendulum is simply ball Of piih
suspended from silk thread. VI. Z.
Cheyreul. a Paris chemist. had his inter
est awakened by the pendulum used in
his day BY clairvoyants in drawing room
seaaces. The pendulum used by the me
dunn then usually consisted of ring
suspended by a hair. The ring was sus-
pended in a wine glass and answered
questions put to the medium by tapping
against the side of the glass as often as
the case demanded. Sheyreul was salts
fed that the person holding the pendulum
was unaware Of impartinG any movement
to it, and he wondered whether or not the
simple thought Of a movement would not
suffice to bring about the act. Through
a number of experiments, Cheyreul dem
onsiraied that the thought of the subject
and not his will was the sole cause of the
movement of the ring to the side of the
glass. Thus if the subject had in his
thoughts the tapping of the tumbler or
wine glass. the ring tapped the glass
whether he wished it TO do 80 or not.
As simple experiment. draw two lines
perpendicular TO each other on sheet of

the end of small rod-ihe rod and line

length. Take the rod in the hand and

Hold the pendulum as near the inter
section Of the two lines as possible. Let
the mind dwell on a question to which

to yourself and the answer to which great
