The next series of experiments concerned the transference of bodily pains. The subjects still being blindfolded, and some distance apart, the agent was pricked in various parts of his body by a needle. Several physicians were present at these experiments: Back of left ear pricked. Rightly located. Lobe of left ear pricked. Rightly located. Left wrist pricked. "It is the left hand." Third finger of left hand tightly bound round with wire. A lower joint of that finger was guessed. Left wrist scratched with pins. "Is it the left wrist? Like being scratched." Left ankle pricked. Rightly located. Now it would be foolish to attribute such results as these to chance. But let us proceed. Dr. Blair Thaw tried a number of experiments in transferring colours. The following are samples: Colours Chosen at Random _Chosen_ _1st Guess_ _2nd Guess_ Bright red. Bright red. .... Bright green. Light green. .... Yellow. Dark blue. Yellow. Bright yellow. Bright yellow. .... Dark red. Blue. Dark red. Dark blue. Orange. Dark blue. Orange. Green. Heliotrope. In 1895 Mr. Henry G. Rawson published a paper on the subject, in which he narrated his success in transferring the diagrams of objects. Tracings of these are given herewith. (O = original and R = reproduction.) Further comment is hardly necessary. [Illustration: Diagram Illustrative of Thought-Transference] He also tried a number of experiments in naming cards drawn at random from the pack (where the chance is always 51 to 1 of being correct, and the chance of being correct a number of times in succession is inconceivably great) and he attained the following results, among others: _Card Chosen_ _Card Guessed_ 5 of Hearts. 7 of Hearts, Ace of Diamonds. 8 of Hearts. 8 of Hearts. 10 of Clubs. 9 of Clubs, 10 of Clubs. Jack of Diamonds. Jack of Diamonds. 5 of Spades. 7 of Spades, 5 of Spades. 2 of Clubs. 2 of Diamonds, 2 of Clubs. Queen of Hearts. Queen of Hearts. 5 of Diamonds. 9 of Diamonds, 5 of Diamonds. Ace of Diamonds. Ace of Diamonds. Ace of Hearts. Ace of Hearts. Ace of Clubs. Ace of Clubs. King of Spades. King of Diamonds, King of Spades. Again, it is useless to say that such results are attributable to chance. The good standing of the participants places their good faith beyond question; all normal means of communication were prevented. How are we to account for such facts--short of invoking some sort of mental interaction, through other than the ordinary channels of sense?
