HUMAN “RADIO.”

People thousands of miles apart may shortly he able to communicate with one another by means of thought waves, according to Professor Callcgaris, an Italian mental specialist. He says there are three “communicating discs’’ in the human body—one on the right side of the neck, one between the calf and the ankle, one behind the index finger of the right hand. A search for these “discs” was first made in 1908 by the late Professor Mingazzini, but he died before he reached the stage of actual tests, and Professor Callegaris promised to continue the research.

In one of his recent experiments, two nurses were blindfolded and seated ten feet apart, facing each other. A small capsule of aluminium was placed on each nurse’s neck at the spot where the human receiving and transmitting apparatus is supposed to be situated. One of the nurses was asked to transmit her thoughts on a subject in which both were interested, and the other to try to receive the message. After a while, the nurse who was acting as receiver stated that she felt a sharp, burning sensation on the tip of her tongue, pains on both cheeks and the left wrist, also a peculiar feeling of heaviness on top of her head and “emptiness” at the lower part of the brain. Presently she stated that she could see a network of white radiations, undulating like the waves of the sea, all round the body of the other nurse. She then said that the other nurse was telling her about one of the patients in the hospital, mentioning his name and describing his symptoms. The nurse who “transmitted” the message agreed that this was correct.
