thus expands to great distances. He may cross oceans and continents in a time too short to be estimated. He is capable of finding in the midst of a crowd the person whom he must meet. Then he communicates to this person certain knowledge. He can also discover in the immensity and confusion of a modern city the house, the room of the individual whom he seeks, although acquainted neither with him nor his surroundings. Those endowed with this form of activity behave like extensible beings, amoebas of a strange kind, capable of sending pseudopods to prodigious distances. The hypnotist and his subject are sometimes observed to be linked together by an invisible bond. This bond seems to emanate from the subject. When communication is established between the hypnotist and his subject, the former can, by suggestion from a distance, command the latter to perform certain acts. At this moment, a telepathic relation is established between them. In such an instance, two distinct individuals are in contact with each other, though both appear to be confined within their respective anatomical limits." His apparent ignorance of the Etheric Double has driven Dr. Carrel to adopt as an explanation, "the spatial extensibility of personality", which really seems a more complicated postulate than the presumption, which one hopes to make convincing here, that personality can be divided. Is it not more reasonable to believe that man himself is able to travel, than that he is "capable of sending pseudopods to prodigious distances"; and is it not more likely, since messages are transmitted, that they should be transmitted from the man himself than from his pseudopod; which is at best a provisional assumption, whereas the man himself has frequently been seen? A VOLUME which owes so much to the persistent and often adventurous work of others, must at the outset express its
