The Ghost That Never Was Explained
BY l. N. cRAMER.

TN this peculiar age, which DR..
Eliot of Harvard describes as
an age OF irrationalism, 1t is
almost necessary that the minds OF
philosophers and other men of
science should be used to buttress
either our incredulity or our belief
in the things that other men, per-
haps equally important. men ike Sir
Oliver Lodge and Sir Conan Doyle,
announce as spiritualistic discov-
cries.
One such man is Professor. Robert
Mark Wenley. head of the depart
ment of philosophy in the University
OF Michigan. a position he has held
for a number of years. and in addi-
tion he is known as one of the
secular authorities on religion in this
country
Professor Wenley was born in
Scotland and reared there. and Scot
land is the country where the faculty
called second sight" is frequently
called into play. Scotchmen. in gem
erai. have no prejudice against the
supernatural and yet. in the main.
they are too hard headed to believe
In ghosts.
