SPIRIT PHOTOGRAPHY.
gj rr In reference to your statement in this morning's Herald that " -six leading photographers of Auckland " had questioned the genuineness of the spirit photographs shown by Sir A. Conan Doyle. T 'find that the general public place me among the sis leading photographers of this city, and as I was in no way party to' this challenge I would be pleased if -vqu would correct this misapprehension. W. H. Baktlett.
Sir. —I have photographed for 20 years, have .me of the best lenses ever ma-de, and oven in dim uaylight it fails to photograph certain portions. Consequently, a. boy ran see that a, phonograph cannot- be developed of a thing unseen by mortal eyes. Photographers will laugh when they read .Sir Conan Doyle* has the positives and slides, but no negatives. Of course not. It'will be noticed bv Bible readers that he flatly contradicts God, also Christ, and although only bO years old, considers he is smart enough to catch the devil at his tricks, who has had nearly 6000 years 'J of pra.-tice of deceiving mankind; but v what else can be expected when men take t on tlr.se things that God's Word strictly u forbids them to have anything to do s with'' — j v
