With Clark's help he took a photograph of the review from the back window of the vehicle, and after nomo difficulty managed to get it developed. He handed Clark a copy..

The rest of the story was told to a correspondent by Mr. F. C. Deering, of Oral-rond, Dagenham (Essex). He sald:

"Clark is an old friend of mine. and when he was released after the war he brought the photo- graph back to England-sewn in his shirt. He presented it to me. "I showed it to a friend of mine who is an artist, and he thouglit it would make a fine study. Miss Beaumont was one of his most successful pupils and he gave it to her. It took her four months. to complete the picture.

Mysteries

INDIAN WHO

COULD NOT BE

PHOTOGRAPHED

An Indian who could not be one of the photographed was Eastern mysteries discussed by Major G. H. Rooke in a lecturo the on "Indian Occultism," to East India Association, at the Caxton Hall, London, recently.

A friend in the Indian political service, he said, had an experi- ence which was more difficult to explain than a rope-trick.

"He wanted to take a photograph of a group of Indians, one of whom wna obviously disinclined, to be photographed. Ultimately he con- sented to stand in the group, but remarked, 'You cannot photograph me, sahib.'

"The photograph was taken and came out perfectly, with the soli- tary exception of the individual concerned, for where he had stood with the others there was nothing to be seen but a blank space."

The rope trick was most famous of all, and certain accounts of it seemed to furnish conclusive evid- ence as to its essentially psycho- logical character. The same might be said of other illusions; including the mango and basket tricks.

Cases of levitation nearly alwaya but it was claimed that the Indian at appeared to have been involuntary, ascetic could levitate himself will.

Secrot Technique

A secret technique was needed to attain the conditions of trances known in the Indian occult system, and the practices were attended by serious dangers to those who had not gone through prolonged-train- ing.

Control of the vital force of the physical organism appeared to be the main secret, and enabled one to leave the physical body at will.

There were good reasons supposing that knowledge of it was not originally confined to India but was practically world-wide, Bajor Rooke said. "This is evidenced by the universality of the swastika emblem, which is its symbol, de- picting a revolving, flaming cross. it looks as though this secret was at one time possessed by the Christian Church."

Major Rooke quoted examples of the swastika emblem on a tomb in Winchester Cathedral and at a Hampshire church.

Lord Mansfield, who presided, divided the phenomena described into two classes. There was, he said, the trick that was purely illusory and in which the conjuror exercised his will-power to such an extent that ho gave his audience the impression that he was climb.

Lord Mansfield advocated such cases the wider use of the camera, and particularly the cine- camera, in order to detect such frauds.
