SIR, —Mr. J. D. Jenkins is mistaken in stating that I
said " the S.P.R. had investigated the case of Mr. Kuda Bux." Of course, it was the University of London Council for Psychical. Investigation which staged the fire-walking tests at Carshalton in September, 1935. The experiments were organised by me. Your readers may be interested to hear that further fire-walking tests with a young Indian named Ahmed Hussain will be held by us at Carshalton on April 9th. A commentary will be broadcast.
Before the fire-walking performance, which is still puzzling US, we tested Kuda Bux for his alleged " eyeless sight," referred to by Mr. Jenkins. We came to the conclusion that the whole affair was a trick. When we placed a bag over his head, or made it impossible for him to get a line of vision down the die of his nostrils, Kuda Bux could not tell whether the electric light was switched on or off in a darkened room.— Yours faithfully, HARRY PRICE,
