Here is a character who suddenly discovers that by concentrating his mind on certain ideas he can inject or project them into others.

Nevertheless, fatalities consequent upon the bite of this insect are sufficiently well attested to take ...

Such air naturally carries along with it some of the heat which, in spite of all precautions, still reaches the burner; but it ...
