How can one person read the mind of another? Simple—by being telepathic (tel-Ə-PATH′-ik),

but no one can explain the chemistry or biology of it. Telepathy is built by combining pathos,
feeling, with the pre x tele-, distance, the same pre x we found in telephone, telegraph,
telescope.
Telepathic (tel-Ə-PATH′-ik) communication occurs when people can feel each other’s
thoughts from a distance, when they have ESP.
