In fig. 398, the reproduction of 397, there is shown the singular phe- 

 nomenon of inversion. There were a number of such cases. The same 

 phenomenon was stated by Washington Irving Bishop to occur to him

 the piano. 



Another feat of Mr. Bishop con- 

 sisted in driving, blind-folded, a 

 carriage through a busy thorough-

Another person giving public tests of mind-reading, is J. Kandall
