900 Dynamic Theory. 



ing : One of his earliest public tests was given at the Bijou theater, 

 New York. An insulated copper wire was extended from the theater to 

 the Fifth Ave. Hotel. Prof. Cromwell, at the latter place, placed the 

 end of the wire against his forehead, and Brown did the same with the 



other end, on the stage of the theater. 

 With his eyes blind-folded he then wrote 

 down Prof. Cromwell's thoughts on a black- 

 board. When Prof. C romwell came over 

 to the theater, he acknowledged the writ- 

 ing to be a correct record of his thought. 

 Another test was given by means of a wire 

 between Philadelphia and Wilmington, 28 

 miles, Brown at Philadelphia reading the 

 thought of ex-GrOV. Pollock at Wilmington. 

 The telegraph test was first suggested and 

 practiced at Yale college.

 this was drawn, Miss Edwards 

 almost directly said, "Are you 

 thinking of the bottom of the 

 sea, with shells and fishes?" and 

 then, " Is it a snail or a fish?" 

 Then she drew fig. 394.
