"A calculation based on such are

ACCOUNTS FOR GHOST CoLORc
Eye 10 Especially Sensitive 70 Tive
Kinds Of Perceptions, Light and
Color Predomlnatlnu.

In reply to an inquiry why are
ghosts always seen clothed In white, q
scientist states:
This Is easily accounted for. Al
there have been no ghosts during his
tortcal times, We must assume that In
all cases where ghosts have been act.
ually seen we have to do with mere
Authorizations caused by fever or some
other disorders of the observer, where,
therefore, the organ of sense, and par
ticularly the eyes, registered impress
sions Of objects that had no corre-
spending external existence. Accord
ing to the minute descriptions Of such
apparitions given by patients to their
physicians, the ghosts, with rare ex-
ceptions, were "clad In white" Now.
our eye Is sensitive to two kinds Of
perceptions, viz, light and color. In
this case, where no definite color was
perceived, the Authorization. In which
only the organs Of the eye sensitive
to light are affected, Is declared to be
white.
Stlll there are also colored appari-
lions Of ghosts; nay, We can introduce
into the body substances calculated to
impair our sense Of color. Thus. the
immoderate use Of hashish produces
violent visions: of alcohol. blue ones
Of atropln and skopolamin, red ones.
Quinine and too much tobacco like
Wise produce red visions, while SAIL
cyltc acid, digitalin and phenacetin
cause light yellow sensations. The In
halation Of carbonic oxide. and snake
bite, too. are said to be followed BY
light yellow sensations OF sight.
