The Monster Persists The whole world is now divided into
two parts : those 'who. believe in the monster of Loch Ness, and those who don't. What is disturbing to our incredulity is that the former party is constantly winning converts from the latter. Mr. Goodbody, for example, an experienced fisherman and traveller, was • a sturdy sceptic ; but he has now inspected the creature through field-glasses, counted its humps, and closely observed its long neck and small head. Seeing, we are told, is believing. But Scottish Films Productions have gone further ; they have photographed it ; and we are often assured (with perhaps doubtful accuracy) • that the camera cannot lie. At any rate, our monster, real or fabulous, had enjoyed a long innings in the daily records of wonders, and in the interests of science (zoological, or psychological ?) deserves some official recognition. In view of doubt as to which Government department is responsible, could not the Royal Zoological Society, accompanied • perhaps by members of the Society for Psychical Research, fit out an expedition either to add a new specimen to its collection or lay the apparition ? •
