In the bookcase IL an album contain
ing fifty or more spirit photographs
taken Il score or more years ago. The
figures are astonishingly clear, the
bright eyes of women and the dark
boards of men looking out boldly from
thei nebulOus investment of white.
Evidently good looks must be an in
variable gift In the spirit world, for in
all these photographs every woman vas
fair. every man handsome, and every
child a cherub. Considering that so
many homely people die it is rather
strange that their frieIG arc able 10

Among the photographs was Or.
Gufy, holding the hand Of Katie a
spirit; Miss Houghton in a dozen or
more vivid matcrialiZations. When
both she and Mrs. Cuffy were present
they were strong enough TO bring a
spirit before the camera entirely alone.
Another striking picture IL that of Mr..
liCmer and the spirit face of his "dou-

identical. The spirit of Mrs. Sherwood
came out so clearly that II could be rec
Ognized. as did also that of Mr.. Suth-

faces very clearly. Mrs. Adams and
William Hewitt are photographed with

earth plane or In the spirit realm.
"Confucius Is another important per-
sonage In the rare collection. The ia
