interesting features which have
arisen from the study of twins.
Two twin sisters were in the
same biology class. The teacher
assigned as reading material some
dozen books and said that the
questions on the final eXamina-
tons were to cover some material
in these books. The twins were so
busily occupied that they did not
get around to reading these books
until too late to read them at all.
Twins Answer Alike
One twin read certain books and
the other n read different books.
On the examination the main ques-
ton dealt with material that n
girl claims to have neither read
nor discussed with her sister.
When she began to think about the
matter, however, the answer came
to her and she wrote it out without
difficulty. This answer was so
much like that written by her twin
sister that the teacher suspected
copying, but the girls had previ-
ously been unjustly accused OF
this and had adopted the practice
Of sitting far apart and they
proved that they had done so on
this occasion.
Brain Waves
When this story was told to
three biologists. two were ~
tremely sceptical and one believed
it absolutely. The recent discovery
that the mental activity is asso-
ciated with rhythmic localized
changes in electrical potential,
changes that are often called
brain waves" suggests the bare
possibility that certain brain
waves sent out by one brain might
find some parts of another brain
exactly attuned, and that mental
telepathy might be a case Of cleo
trical induction, on the same prin-
ciple as radio.
Another instance is related by
Charles S. Grail in his book called
Ny TWin Joe Country Life Press,
New York;. These two boys an
sWered questions on examination
papers identically in spite of the
fact that the teacher separated
them by the whole width of the
room. One teacher, despairing Of
preventing this kind of communi-
cation, held a Latin examination
and pat Joe in the office of the
principal and kept Joe's twin in
the teachers oWn office. Joe was
given the questions but did not
begin to answer them.
Another Example
"Nhv don't you get to work."
inquired the teacher.
"f ana rot ready" responded

T~e|epothy in Twins
Recent Studies Indicate Mental Affinity

He did not start to answer the
examination questions until the
actual moment when his twin bro
Their had received his questions
and then he went busily to work.
After the examination the prin-
cipal called the twins into the Off
ice and he said, Boys, your Latin
papers are identical. The same
words, the same syntax. the same
grammar but, strangest of all, the
same mistakes. But of one thing |
am sure, you did not cheat. 1t must
be because you are twins
Subtle Affinity
Dr.. Newman has asked onc-cCc
twin graduate students who had
been trained in science whether
there IS anything in these stories
Of mental telepathy. In spite of the
fact that they were hard-boiled,
scientifically trained men with
critical minds, they strongly ia
vored the view that there is some
subtle affinity between one-egg
twins that makes it possible for
M to know what the other is
thinking about.

nerve may be due to many things.
1t sometimes can be cured by ma
nipulation or massage of the back

may relieve it. Removal of focal
