Mr. Roscoe journoyed under difficulties by motor-car to the remote province of Ankole, which lies under the 16,794ft. mountain of Imenzori, in the very heart of Central Africa.

Of the Ankole customs he gives a very curious and fascinating account,"

CRIMINALS.

That murderers and other criminals can be discovered by spiritualism was asserted at the conference of the Spiritualists' National Union at Queen's Hall, London, during a discussion on "Psychic Science in its Relationship to the Detection and Repression of Crima."

A paper was read by Dr. Abraham Wal- lace, M.D., of Harley Street Feeling he said, "that the time was ripe, he resolved with anxiety to, seize the opportunity to deal with the relation of psychical and metapsychical science to the Tetection and repression of crime. Sir A. Conan Doyle" was asked recently in America, “Can |you find out those who commit morder?

to which he gave an-evasive reply. "Hal I been asked that question," sail Dr. Wal- lace, "I should have made a direct answer in the affirmative.”

Proceeding to deal with various murders that had been enacted in recent years, and experiments carried out in connection with, them by himself, Dr. Wallace said he had abstained from doing anything in this line of investigation for some years till a few days after a recent murder, when he had a short sitting with a sensitive with whom he was carrying out interesting experimenta on other lines. Some statements were then made which hal already been con- ürmed, and had he been able to obtain an article belonging to the murdered woman be was positive that he could have been 'in possession of all the important details. The Welsh murders by Harold Jones were also alluded to by Dr. Wallace, who proceeded:

As a result of my experiments and ob servations I am now disposed to believe that in a properly constituted circle with one'or two fully developed sensitives, all meeting with one cord to discover the truth and to | repress evil, every murder might be dis- covered, and but for the probable sequel of capital punishment the information obtained could and ought to be utilised." Capital punishment, he went on to say, was an ob stacle in the way of employing, the methods of psychical and metapsychical science in criminology.
