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. - '
