The London “Ghost Club,” a scien- tific organization with a shivery name, is about to propound a test that ought to go far toward deter- mining whether the dead can com- municate with friends on earth. These students of the spiritual world have a secret diary kept by one of their members, recently deceased, and the “man on the other side’ will be questioned as to its contents, The book was sealed by its owner be- fore his death and will not be open- ed until the club has assembled in solemn conclave to prosecute its in- quiry. The names of many of the investigators ought to be a guaran- tee of the good faith of the investi- gation. If the slightest loophole be | left open for trickery, the ‘‘tests” will be to leave the vital question exactly where it has remained since the days of the Fox Sisters and the Davenport Brothers Brooklyn, Eagle.
