SCIENTISTS AT VARIANCE. PARIS, Oct. 4. The faulty translation of Sir Oliver Lodge’s report to the Metaphysical Congress, in which he was made to express the opinion that all mediums ought to he abolished, occurred in a shorthand note of the report which was circulated to the Paris Press. T)r Osty. the organiser of the Congress, expressed to me to-day his great regret that the mistake should have lieen made. What the English savant really said was that it would he perfection if it were found possible to establish scientific- psychic- communication without the aid of mediums. Meanwhile amusing contradictions in the tendency of various reports of wellknown physical authorities continue. Herr Karl Tv rail, of Munich, argues that telepathic communication is possible between men and annuals and instances cases of performing clogs who have carried out orders and given replies to telepathic instruction from their masters.

A countryman of his, however, Herr W Neumann, of Baden-Baden, declares that the docile performances of a dog with which he experimented were not due to telepathy hut to a strong or light pressure on his paw by bis master’s hand.
