United Press Association—By Electrio Telegraph—Copyright (Australian Press Association)
PARIS, Bth January. Scientists decided that Gaillard failed in his claim. They could not detect any difference between a pork chop treated by him and another not handled. Both were distinctly unpleasant.
A London cable message received on Monday stated: Scientific circles are following most keenly an extraordinary experiment which is being carried out at a school of psychology in which Gaillard claims that the mere touch of his,hand prevents putrefaction of food. Am experiment was begun on lasting ten days. Twice daily Gaillard handles in the presence of witnesses a mutton chop, a dead swallow, a piece of calf’s liver, and dead fish, and up to the present none of these show any signs of decay, though corresponding articles sealed in a meat safe and not subjected to the magnetic touch are already decaying. It lias been suggested that should the experiment he successful the curious power may he made use of in arresting the development of cancerous growth.
