    two persons living in the same city. They have compared watches, and regulated them to the minute; they have arranged that the experiments shall begin, say, at 4 o'clock and end at 5 o'clock. They have arranged that during that hour one shall project thought and the other receive, and that five minutes or ten minutes shall be given to each attempted transmission. Let us say ten minutes to each. Both are supplied with paper pads. The Projector at the appointed time goes to the place selected, sits down and gets out his pad. Time: 4 o'clock P. M. Object: A silver quarter. Endeavor: To transmit date. He then places the piece of money before him on the table, puts his telepascope to his eye, and for ten minutes he keeps a clear view of the object before him. Then he lays down his telepascope, writes on his pad Second Ex- periment;'' Time, 4:10; Object, Handkerchief;'' Endeavor, to transmit the name of the object. Thus the experiment an be varied throughout the time appointed. The Receiver meanwhile has written upon his pad something which perhaps reads as follows: Time* 4PM . Impression received: A piece of money; looks like 25 cent piece or half dollar. Date is not clear. The coin appears and disappears but I am confident that it is silver. Do not hear anything aoout date. No auditory impression. And so forth. The idea to be carried out is that the Receiver shall jot down his impressions as they come to him. At the first suitable opportunity the pads should be compared. It will, of course, simplify this experiment if numbers alone, say from 20 to 50, are used instead of objects, both persons being agreed that the experiment is to be confined to numbers. Thus scientific accuracy in conducting all experiments wiU be assured.
