whethertheshriekingwasdesignedor tortuitous,thenewspapersmadea graphicstoryoftheincident,andthe publicwasreadytohearmoreabout "spiritphotography."

FatherdeHerediadecidedtogive peoplealltheywantedonthesubject. Forsomeyearshehadusedaningeniousdeviceintheproductionof"spirit photographs,"andhadkepthissecret.

FatherdeHerediaofferedtomake "spiritphotographs"underthesame conditionsasthoseimposeduponthe producersofthepicturesinEngland.

Thetestattheofficeofthe"ScientificAmerican"wascarriedoutona platesuppliedbythatperiodical,exposedinitsowncamera,developedby itsownphotographersusingitsown chemicals,withFatherdeHerediacontinuallyunderobservation.Furthermore,theplate.wasinitialledbyseveralwitnessesasasafeguardagainst possiblesubstitution.Amongstthose presentatthetestwasMr.J.Malcolm Bird.Iunderstandthathefailedto seeanypossibilityofdeception,and thathewasverymuchastonished whenthereappearedonaphotograph ofhimselfandothersapictureofAdmiralBeatty.Itwasnotaperfect pictureoftheAdmiral,anditappearedsideways.Butthe"marveltothe onlookerswasthatitappearedatall.

Ofcourse,SirArthurConanDoyle couldnotbeexpectedtobecomplimentaryaboutthephotographswhich arethusfaked.Asspecimensof photographythepicturesreproduced inhisbook."TheComingoftheFairies,"aremuchmoremeritorious, though,asexamplesof"spiritphotography."theyareequallyridiculous.
