LONDON. August Sis your halo
on straight? No? You don't know?
Then go to Dr. Walter J. kilner, let
MN place you In dim mystical light,
ana look at you through the curious
glass cell Of his. filled with a weird
blue liquid. and he can tell YOU in
minute all about your halo.
Don't laugh; 1t is a cold, solemn.
scientific fact. DIR. Kilner a repu-
table physician, formerly in charge Of
the electrical department OF ST.
ihomas Hospital in London, has dis
covered the human aura, and has writ
ten heavy scientific treatise about
it
1t exists. Every human being has
mis- halo. or ninbus. or phantom. or
aura, or whatever our choice to call
it-a spiritual cloud that surrounds
his body. that is invisible TO the or
binary eye. but that. under circura-
stances, can be seen.
DR.. kilner DESCRIBES how he sees the
aura. FIRST, the patient IS stripped
naked. for such coarse material things
as clothes. mind you will impede this
subtle. spiritual essence. Then he ia
placed in a dim Light about eight
feet from window covered with black
serge. Behind the patient Is a black
or white sCreen---usgally q black one,
In Very Dim Light
Then the observer takes his posi-
ton He must have just enough light
to be able to see the patient after his
eyes have become accustomed to tho
darkness. Having asceFtained that he
can barely make out the outlines OF
the patient The observer seizes a
small glass cell. filed with a lnysterr-
Gus. deep, blue liquid, and he looks
through this liquid st fairly bright
light for half a minute. Al the end
OF that tino some alteration VIII have
taken place in his eyes. The observer
now stands In front OF tho patient and
looks through another cell Of the same
kind. but with much paler tint
The observer looks through this
paler cell AT the patient for several
seconds. Gradually faint cloud is
observed TO envelope the patient To
well trained eyes the cloud IS for thu
most part blueism III tint. This
cloud completely surrounds the body

tirely.
Disoloses Disease.
In cases OF disease the outline Of
the cloud curves In, as though it were
shrunken in the neighborhood OF tho
diseased parts, EpiIeptics and those
persons afflicted with Mysteries have
the halo developed more on the one
side Of the body and ON the other.
Dr, kilner believes that diagnosis by
halo will become very important part
Of medical practice In the future- All
the doctor viii have 10 do will he to
look at the patients halo to find out
where he is sick.
Not only does the human aura's

health OF the body. but It's color varies
also. DIR. Kiiner has not gone SO far
yet as to determine what the various
Coiora indicate. He teaSes that To tho
future. But sometimes he sees blue
and grey IN the aura and sometimes
yellow or green He has. however.
noticed that IN cases where a coiored
patch is seen In the aura y is usually
found 20 be over some tender or palm
ful part Of the body.
Three Fold Nature,
The aura. as described by the doctor.
Is Of three fold nature. First, there
come dark space next to the skin,
and fitting II like a glove, This Or.
Kilner calls the "etheric double" At
the outer edge of this comes the second
aura. which is not luminous, now can

granular.
Outside of this comes the third aura
or nimbus. II is faint, entirely styuc-
tureless. capable OF being Illuminated,
but not luminous says the doctor
Dr.. klner has not yet succeeded In
taking any photographs Of these auras.
He has decided that their vibrations
