♦ THOUGHT PHOTOGRAPHY. A process by which thought photographs are said to have been obtained la lieu* ter’s message from Los Angeles states) has been explained in an interview t<» newspaper representatives hy the vicepresident of the California Psychical Research Society, who exhibited a nnnilier of photographs to prove his assertions. “A camera is not used in the process," he said. “Only a sealed plate or film is required. Anyone who has the power of concentration, and can think clearly, definitely and concisely could try the experiment. in taking the thought picture of a cross an ordinary photographic plate was wra in an opaque black paper, securely sealed in a yellow envelope, and suspended twelve inches before the eye of the experimenter. The. subject wrote on a piece of paper what he thought he would concentrate on, and handed it to a member of the committee supervising the test. He drew a rough sketch of the object, studied it for five minutes, laid it aside, and concentrated next for ten minutes on the photographic plate, but without touching it. The plate was then taken into an adjoining dark room and developed, with the result that a cross came out clear and strong. The subject had written on the piece of paper given to the committeemen the words, “I will think of a cross.”
