UNUSUAL PHOTOS MADE IN HIGH-VOLTAGE GLOW

Coins, necklaces, and belt clasps, used in the experiment, glowed with fantastic radiance and the material was easily photographed in a darkened room. Voltages ranging from 100,000 to 150,000 were used in making the pictures but the objects were not damaged.

    “Kirlian Photography,” but the references that I found say it was discovered in 1939.
