Phrenotypics.

THIRD EXPERIMENT.

The audience write upon slips of paper words of their own invention without any meaning; f. i., belch, los, marta, &c. Each of these words is handed over to the chairman or any other individual from the audience, who reads it aloud, and gives it to any one who wishes to control him: these unmeaning words are noted down opposite the English words of the foregoing experiments, which will form a vocabulary of the following shape:

Refen, embroidery
Zoru, rope
Pina, box
Min, head
Fur, mirror
Sumon, strong
Yrk, leg
Agnie, wet
Agn, door
Afa, angle
Arap, beam
Repes, book
Snclan, cupboard
Mirka, polygon
Blotto, clock
Neken, crevice
Dachy, love
Dinta, black
&c., &c.

This strange vocabulary the phrenotyper reads once, and he is sure to have at least three-fourths deeply impressed upon his brain; he runs them over once more, and the whole is safely committed to his memory.
