Correspondence of The Herald.

Correspondence OF The Herald.
LONDON, April 2.-It is not generally
known that William Crookes, the inventor
of the tube by which the wonderful Roent-
gen X ray photographs are made, is deeply
interested in the study of spooks, ghosts
and all the phenomena of the other world.
He is president of the Psychical Research
society of London. and regards the work
of that organization as being worthy OF the
closest investigation that the moSt scien-
tidc minds of the day can give. He is not
spiritualist, and it is needless to say is
not actuated by vulgar or maudlfn love
of the mysterious. He treats the matter as
one susceptible of great scientific study,
and just row he is deeply interested in a
phase of psychic phenomena which. if it is
proven TO be absolutely free of fraud and
imposition, will develop into a greater
wcnoer than the much talked of rays.
II IL nothing more than the photograph
ing of objects which are invisible to the
naked eye. A London photographer claims
to have accomplished this. This man
makes a living by photography, Is Of ner-
vous temperament and is a spiritualist.
At first his claims were laughed at. 1t was
asserted that he was merely trying to bring
trade to his shop by unusual means. But
now his work is being regarded with close
study. Every possible means has been ex-
erted to catch him in some fraud, and after
each failure the investigators have been
more convinced of his honesty. 1t is but
fair to him to state that his trade has fallen

his %Hore. H E Briefly, his claim is that any M,
ons, a stranger whom he has never seen
bseDre or a close friend, can wish for the
presence of departed friend or relative
and the spirit will appear, but the other will
not be able to perceive it. The new light
photographs the invisible spirit, and by the
likeness the visitor is able to judge of the
authenticity of the photograph.
Many of these spirit photographs have
been taken. and some of them are shown
here. 1t would be possible, of course, for
the photographer to use prepared plates,
and in case Of friends visiting him to ar
range beforehand for picture of some de-
ceased member of the family. Absolute
ss.raneers 70 MN, men and women whom
ne mas never before seen, have been sent to
him, however, and the Photographic results
have been startling.
The man who has been most vigorous in
investigating this branch of psychic pho
Biography says this about his work: "a
test photograph must be produced under
conditions that preclude any possibility
OF fraud. 1t must, to begin with, be taken

opportunity of manipulating secretly, Oh

exposed by the experimenter-them medium
never touching them OF the camera-then
they should be taken out and developed in
the dark room; the medium might be

tive is freed, alwellsdetined psychic form

garded as a test-psychic photography pro-

Crazsd By Her Resemblance to the Queen.
An old lady who labors under the i'm
preston that she is queen of Great Britain
and empress of India, with the mission OF
correcting certain wrongs noticeable in
the conduct of the universe and municipal
government, walked into the law office OF
Wahle q Stone Tuesday.
She was made up to resemble Queen
Victoria, and bore such q close resem-
blance that Mr.. Wahle was startled when
she asked him for m andamus.
II must have Mayor Strong's conduct
looked into'. she exclaimed, taking seat.

Here the lawyer thought it time to inter-
rupt and ioform his would-be client that
he had no mandamus in stock.
The woman said:
"You're like all the rest, but 1t won't do.
I'll go and tell Mr.. Roosevelt about it, and
he wont let any wrong be committed"
Mr.. Wahle fled from his office and, after
threatening to hit clerk with an inkstand,
the woman also left.-New York Journal.
