_Result_--"What I see looks like a short piece of candle, without a candlestick. It must be burning, for at the upper end I see it glitter." _Remark_--At the upper part of the object, indicated by the arrow, bright reflections, caused by the oblique lighting, were seen by all the agents (the weight was rubbed bright). The form seen decidedly resembles the original, especially the outline. 21.--_The same evening._ _Agents_--M. Mabire, Frau Schmoll, Schmoll. _Percipient_--Mdlle. Louise. _Object_--My gold watch (without the chain) was noiselessly placed before us, the back turned towards us; on the face are Roman numbers. _Result_--After five minutes: "I see a round object, but I cannot describe it more particularly." (During the pause that followed, without causing the slightest noise, I turned the watch round, so that we saw the face.) Soon Mdlle. Louise called out: "You are certainly looking at the clock over the piano, for now I quite clearly see a clock face with Roman numbers." [The watch, as was ascertained after the experiment, was not going at the time.] 22.--_September 10th, 1886._ _Agents_--Mdlle. Louise, M. Mabire, Frau Schmoll. _Percipient_--Schmoll. _Object_--A pamphlet (in 8vo) was slantingly placed on the table. _Result_--Completely failed. I saw nothing whatever. _Remark_--At the beginning of our trials to-day we had neglected to clear the table. The book was surrounded by other objects, and also badly lighted. 23.--_The same evening._ _Agents_--Mdlle. Louise, M. Mabire, Schmoll. _Percipient_--Frau Schmoll. _Object_--A piece of candle, 20 centimetres long, was placed on the table. _Result_--After eight minutes: "I see it well, but not clearly enough to say what it is. It is a thin, long object." "How long?" asked M. Mabire. Frau Schmoll tried by separating her hands to give a measurement, but could not do it with certainty, and said, "A full hand's length, about 20 centimetres." Begged for a further description, she said, "I see something like a walking-stick, but at one end there must be gold, for something shines there." (The candle was _not_ burning.) 24.--_The same evening._ _Agents_--M. Mabire, Frau Schmoll, Schmoll. _Percipient_--Mdlle. Louise. _Object_--A Faience tea-pot was placed on the table:-- [Illustration] _Result_--After five minutes: "It is not a drawing, but a real object. I see very clearly a little vase, a little pot or pan." 25.--_The same evening._ _Agents_--Mdlle. Louise, Frau Schmoll, Schmoll. _Percipient_--M. Mabire. _Object_--The stamp of the firm was placed on the table:-- [Illustration]
