Thought Transmission on Mars by Hugo Gernsback:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

"OUR scientists of to-day as a rule ridicule any attempt of thought transmission and not without good reason, for there does not seem to exist any authentic case on record where thoughts have actually been transmitted freely between two individuals. But, in view of the fact that during the last 20 years we have learned how to transmit wireless impulses through the ether without the use of intervening wires, is it not possible to conceive that given sufficiently sensitive apparatus we will some day find it possible to transmit our thoughts through free space?Baron Munchhausen throws a new light upon this fascinating problem. We are confident that you will enjoy this instalment."
