It may have been simply long-distance tele- pathy; but, to judge from the reports that have been published, Madame Zomah actually saw the article which was held in her husband's hand at the other end of the telephone wire. She does not seem to have spoiled her vision of what was actually present at the other end by seeing things which were not there at the moment, but which had been there on previous occasions. This baffling superposition, of what has been upon what is, occurs frequently in Mr. Turvey’s experience. It is interesting, but most disconcerting; none the less it opens up a fascinating field for scientific inquiry.
Another point to be noticed is that whereas Madame Zomah has her husband, who has trained the faculty of transmitting his thoughts to his wife, at the other end of the telephone wire, consciously telepathing the description of the articles selected to her; Mr. Turvey has no such assistant.
Even if we admit that all those who rang up Mr. Turvey, in a casual manner, swdconsciously telepathed the descriptions to him; that would not cover all the facts, as Mr. Turvey sometimes
