A MAGIC TOUCH
EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIMENT IN PROGRESS. PUTREFACTION OF FOOD PREVENTED. SCIENTIFIC CIRCLES INTERESTED. United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received Sunday, 5.5 p.m.) PARIS, January 5. Scientific circles are following most keenly an extraordinary experiment which is being carried out at the School of Psychology, in which M. Gaillard claims that the mere touch of the hand prevents putrefaction of food. An experiment was begun on Saturday and will last for ten days. Twice daily M. Gaillard handles, in the presence of witnesses, a mutton chop, a dead swallow, a piece of a calf’s liver and dead fish. Up to the present none of these show any signs of decay, though corresponding articles sealed in a meat safe not subjected to his magnetic touch are already decaying. It has been suggested that should the experiment be successful the curious power.may be made use of in artesting the development of cancerous growth.— (Australian Press Association.)
