WIRELESS WONDERS.

While Mr Marconi and others are spending laborious days and nights in making wireless conversation possible, it has been left to an American experimenter to go one better and demonstrate the possibility of wirless thought. Writing in the “Electrical World,” Air Barton F. Babcock, of Syracuse, N.Y., states: “I believe it has been my good fortune to make a discovery in wireless electricity which will astonish tho world when it has been thoroughly tested. A few hundred volts of wireless, controlled! into small, strong, continuous current only a few inches in diameter, .will not only convey sound in the form of ordinary conversation, but will transfer thought from brain to’ brain. When accustomed to this method of communication, a conversation can be carried on at a distance of several miles without any audible sounds whatever. Bodily pain inflicted on one person in the current is instantly felt by the other to an almost equal extent.” Commenting on this remarkable statement, the editor of the “Wireless World” says: — “There are many y?ho believe that the next great discovery in science will, have to do with the correlation of the theory of wave-motion and' the scattered facts of telepathy. We do not scoff at them or their belief, but neither we nor they will be disposed, we think, to feel that the great tidings for which they wait have come from Syracuse, N.Y.”
