Not t Jut i lie pun-1 in sits believe itt ghosts, but thou* Is hoiiH'l Itlng a Pout ownt/ig a home with tt tradition of being haunted llior makes it worth thousands inure, in die estimation of many PU roll users. fj England Is well supplied with good ghost stories, and the list la constantly beln^ added to, lurgely, it Is believed, because candles ure still extensively used for illuiulnution and the dim light of a eandle Is very fuvorable, according to scientists, for producing the condition that leads to seeing things that aren't there. Ghosts hove always had one drawback from the standpoint of careful investigation?they are usually seen by people who don't want to see them, and almost never by persons who go looking for them. There Is a simple explanation for that, and for the Shosts that are heard us well as those that ore seen. The visible ghosts, scientific Investigators declare, exist only in the eye of the beholder, and the audible ones in his ear. Sounds Af-c Amplified. Everybody, even those who have nev^r claimed to have se^n a ghost, has lain awake at night and heard queer sounds, abnormally loud, even though they would have been inaudible to anyone else, beeuuse they existed ^nly to the hearer's own ear. Tlie sotyjds were mude by blood pulsing through the veins of the ear. Picked up by the eardrum, which amplifies them Just as a radio receiver nullifies an Incoming signal, thp eqr sounds, heard ip momenta of ajppreItension or nervousness, ct*n easily be imagined to be ttia stealthy steps of a burglar or the movements of a more ghostly visitor, particularly If one Is sleeping In a centuries-old castle well supplied with ghostly legends. As tor the ghosts that are seen, they are classified medically as Purklnje linages or Sanson specters, both named after their discoverers, and It d! 'n seeing them that the weak light from a candle plays such an impor tant part, Purkinje discovered that under certain condition, the blood vessels of the retina, that film at the back of the eye which is directly connected with the nerve leading to the brain and which renlly sees the Image focused on "it by the eye lens, could produce it* Tn f|n that, though, a dim light Is necessary as a bright illumination furnishes so much light that the blood vessels do not cast their shadowy reflections. - It Is as when one meets an approaching automobile at night. If the car has bright lights on that Mood of light blinds the eye, whereas If the dimmers are turned on the retina Is able to distinguish all the details of the^ roadway clearly. How It Is Explained. I.Ike the Purkinje Image, the Sonson spCcter is produced within the eye either on the front surface of the cornea, which Is at the front of the eyeball, or on either the front or hack surfaces of the crystalline lens, a convex lens like that In a camera, tvhlch focuses the Image on the retina. When you look through a street-car window mder certain light conditions, you not only see the passing buildings outside, hut likewise images of the people behind you, or buildings on the opposite side of the street, the Images being formed on the window glass The Sanson jtpecters are something of the same sort, tiny Images, usuallv badly blurred, of things which art) at ! one side, out of the direct line of vision. But the optica) nerves, accus- j tomed to placing things they see hy their slxe and relation to other objects, transmit a message to the biW saying that these blurred specters are ahead, and, like the images on the street-car window, yon can look right through them and see solid objects behind. - ' GlVOfi dim candle flame and a condition nervousness, grief, or -#ae?l Lncllgestion. it Isn't hard to Iniag 'H?
