Mrs. Lees Ghost Story

"Uncle Bijah's Ghost" Jennettc
Lees new novel (Scribners). offers an
explanation of spiritual phenomena of
the sort described by Sir Conan Doyle.
1T Is, SO far as I know says Mrs.
Lee. "the first attempt to show in a
commonsense way, so that ordinary
people can understand. that most Of
the Supernatural occurrences are cap
able Of being explained in terms Of
science, and that all indications point
to a clearing up Of the whole subject by
science when our knowledge of scicn-
tifc phenomena is more fully developed.
The book does not question either the
good faith or the intelligence of people
who have had experiences and relate
them. 1t merely does not accept the su
pernatural explanation accorded them.
1t is not based on theory. Many
Of the experiences related in it were my
own, and 1t was in thinking on these
and trying to understand them, that
