Clint@i-core.UUCP(Clint) writes concerning Kirlian photography.  I recently
read a book that includes several pages and photographs on the subject.  It was
in Time Life's "Mysteries of the Unknown" series, and the title was something
like "ESP Powers" or something.  Anyway, if I remember correctly, the book
explains that Kirlian photography involves passing a high voltage through (or
above, or around, or something like that) a photographic plate with the
subject (such as a cut leaf) on the plate.  Then, the developed picture shows
the complete image of the leaf.  Find the book for more information.
