The Philosophy of Spirit Photographs.

To the Editor Of the Chronsele-SIR:
Some time ago the esprit Photographs
on a certain window in San Francisco caus-
ed some curiosity. AS ] understand it, the
pictures were blown in a part of the glass
distinguishable from the rest only by its
deeper color. I have never seen an expla-
nation of this, Although the explanation Ia
very simple. AL sand (of which glass is
made )contains more or less eoloring mat
ter-chrome crobolt, iron, etc,,----which in
fusing pass into the glass and give color or
tint to it while new. But long exposure to
the SUMS rays or other light decolorizes the
glass and renders it absolutely colorless.
To produce any required picture, you have
but to take pane Of new glass and trace
the picture ON 1t in some permanent pig
