THOUGHT PROJECTED OVER 10,000 MILES

Astonishing Feats of Telepathy

An astonishing result of experiments in long-range telepathy was described to a “Sunday Express” representative recently.

Before the departure of the 1936 Ruttledge Everest expedition, Mrs. Charlotte Haldane, wife of Professor J. B. S. Haldane, arranged with Mr. C. J. Morris, chief transport officer of the expedition, that on the 12th of every month he would try to project thoughts to her when she was 10,000 miles away. On the same date she would try to divine them with the aid of a special pack of cards. “The whole thing wa.s purest experiment,” said Mrs. Haldane, “but I was sometimes successful in divining matters relating to Mr. Morris and his friends.

On the back of the envelopes wa.s a typed slip which had been gummed and franked over. It reads:
