    — 4° — Cesson xx. Of course, the most interesting and most valuable form of practical thought-transmission is that by which the Projector may send an impression to the Receiver without pre-arrange- ment or without the knowledge of the latter. The chief obstacles in the way of the success of such an experiment are (1st), the chances against catching the Receiver in a passive or receptive state of mind; (2nd) a decided objection by the Receiver to the idea transmitted. , , But even these obstacles may be often overcome, and the process of transmission is extremely simple and delightful m its execution. Suppose you wish to send the idea to a friend in a distant city that he will write you either a general letter or upon a certain subject. Sit at your table in the quiet of your own room and write him a short note, telling him that he will feel irresist- ibly impelled to write you such a letter at once. Make your writing and your wording extremely plain and simple. Hold the note in a good light before you. Concentrate your absolute attention upon it and its meaning for five minutes. The Telep- ascope could be used to advantage here, do not send the note. The message has been sent. It has been the experience of the writer that this method brings results in about 75 per cent of cases. Of course the message must be of a reasonable nature. You would stand small chance of receiving a large cheque from a stranger, by merely asking for it in this way but wishing to have a friend call, or write; to have a reasonable favour granted, to correct a wrong impression or make a good one concerning yourself; to convey your own impression to the receiver regard- fng a certain thing, this method will be found very valua- hip if used with judgment and discretion. The wrhing an/ the mental photographing of your me, sage is merely to assist you in concentrate upon the rdea to be transmitted.
