She went back to Germany and

The publication of a photograph Of
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, in which
the face of his dead son appears in
the background of the picture, has
created a great deal of discussion in
England and this country as to
whether the camera can photograph
the spirits of the dead.
Since the world war, the question
of the life after death and the re-
turn of spirits to loved ones on this
earth has been more widely debated
than ever before because so many
soldiers and relatives claim to have
seen on the battlefields and elseWh ere
spirits of those dead. One of Eng
lands foremost scientists, Sir oliver
Lodge, who has long declared his be-
lief in the truth of spiritualistic
communication, has written book
called Raymond, or the Life After
Death" in which he told the story
of the life of his dead son in the
hereafter, the narrative purporting to
be the story related by the son to
his father through spiritualistic COM
munications.
1t has caused much comment, as
Sir oliver Lodges reputation is such
that no charges of charlatanism can
be brought against him. Believers
in the theory of Spiritualisn and the
possibilities of communication with
the dead regard it. as convincing
