”Commandant. ‘How is it done?’
“Jones. ‘It is not known how it is done any more than it is known how electricity works, but it is similar to electricity in that there is a sender and a receiver, and thought-waves can be sent by one and picked up by another.’
”Commandant (to O’Farrell). ‘Is this a medical fact?’
“O’Farrell. ‘It is a well-known fact like mesmerism.’
”Jones. ‘You can ask Major Gilchrist if it is possible.’
(I now quote from the Doctor):
“Major Gilchrist then said that he sent a (telepathic) message down through Lieut. Hill from the top of South hill while out ski-ing, and when he returned Lieut. Jones told him the thought that Lieut. Hill sent.
“The Commandant asked what the object (thought of) was, and Major Gilchrist said it was a black knife.
“The Commandant now became uneasy. He had the drawer of his desk a quarter open, and kept on putting his hand inside and fingering something.
“I then said that another instance of thought transference was one he must have done himself. Say, for instance, you are in a room and you want to attract someone’s attention; if you look at him hard, he will look round at you.
