THE JASPER.

has laid it down as a positive maxim that every Crystal exerts a specific action on animal nerves ; this being remarkably powerful in highly sensitive, or cataleptic persons. The said force is most powerful at the opposite ends of a Crystal; it is therefore " polar." Luminosity is sent out from these poles, being visible in the dark to persons with sensitive sight. In certain diseases this force displays an adhesiveness of contact towards the human hand, resembling that of iron to a magnet. The said force is therefore a part of the influ­ences of a magnet, which may be separated therefrom, and isolated. Reichenbach found that a Rock Crystal, or a fine Crystal of Sugar-candy, when laid on the hand of a sensitive patient, instantly excited involuntary contraction, causing the hand to become clenched, and to grasp the Crystal with a very strong spasm. " Here therefore has been discovered a peculiar power in single Crystals; a fundamental force which had hitherto remained unobserved." For this new, and specific force Reichenbach suggested the short name " Odylle," which conveniently groups, and describes the phenomena exercised, and produced. Sensitive persons placed in the sphere of action of bodies diffusing Odylle, only feel comfortable when, to the polar parts of their own frame, the oppositively-named poles of the said bodies are brought near. If poles named alike be brought in approximation together, then unpleasant sensations— soon amounting to illness—are the result. One anatomical site of this remarkable power is the mouth, with the tongue, (which are negative), giving on contact of the Crystal therewith, a sense of coolness.
Sensitive subjects feel everything most distinctly with the lips; especially the odyllic influence of the
