ing some sort Of "A frothy, stringy stuff
which they claim comes out Of their bodies
and turns into materalized spirits. This
stuff Is called ectoplasm.
Those like Conan Doyle, who have been
permitted to be present when this eCto
plasm Is produced, are allowed to see it
and feel il and play with il and measure
it and weigh it. Then they are permitted
to photograph the medium by fashlght
and are provided with photographs which
show the eCtoplasm emanatons coming
out Of the medium. One such picture is
shown on this page, where the famous me-
dium, Nine. Eva, Is splitting a ghost out o!
her mouth in this new supernatural ema.
nation called ectoplasm.
IL have not had an opportunity to be
present at one of these new ectoplasmic
Seances, and | therefore cannot say with
certainty how Eva and the others produce
il or exactly what the stuff is. But there
are a few significant facts about this ecto-
plasm phenomenon which the spiritualists
and the mediums and their friends provide
us with
1--WE are told that ectoplasm is thought
emanation.' If this is so, how can 1t be
possible that ectoplasm has weight, sub
stance and feeling? And how can it be
gathered up in your hands? No other
thought emanations' have ever been known
to be or even pretended to be of substan.
tial physical qualities which can be dipped
up into the hands and put into a dish.
"A significant fact is that it was found
that the medium weighed less after giving
out these ectoplasmic emanations. This
fact fits in with the announcement that
eCtoplasm has weight.
1T is very significant, I think that the
medium weighs more while she has the
spirit ectoplasm inside of her than she does
after she has elected it. In fact, this un-
escapable fact probably brings us to the
real explanation of the whole thing.
THE medical world knows thoroughly
well that there is a class of individuals
who are known as 'ruminants who
can swallow large quantities of a substance
and bring il up again from their stomachs
at will Many 'ruminants' have earned an
honest living in the old dime museums
and side shows of the travelling circus,

scientific proof Of spirit pictures. OF sealed

fact that have done this in the interest
OF science and not in an antagonistic spirit
they have borne no results. No phenome-

who are experts in trickery, but they con-
tinue to be produced and will continue to
be produced as long as people who are not
experienced in trickery or fraud witness
seances, and lay down the conditions to
Clairovoyants.
"As a member of the Society of Amefi-
can Magicians, will personally invite Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle TO a meeting OF the
society at which myself and others will
produce certain phenomena, and l abso'
lutely challenge him to tell us in what way
they are produced. II he cannot detect
our tricks how can he consider himself
competent to Judge mediums.

Conan Doyle writes: Mrs. Foster-Tur.
ner Is perhaps the greatest all.round me-
dium in Australia. She gave
prophecy as follows on Sunday in Feb
ruary, 1914: Now although there is not
at present a whisper of a great European
war at hand, yet want to warn you that
before this year, 1914, has run its course.
Europe will be deluged with blood Great
Britain, our beloved nation, will be drawn
into the most awful war the world has
ever known. Germany will be the great
antagonist and will draw other nations In
her train. Austria will totter to its ruin.
Kings and Kingdoms will fall. Millions Of
precious lives will be slaughtered but Brit.
ain will finally triumph and emerge VIC
torious."
Doyle continues: Can any prophecy
be more accurate or better authenticate
than that?
"Mr. Rim replies: Tt is evident that
Conan Doyle is not posted. How many
times has a similar prophecy been made
by mediums in the last fifteen years?
Nearly every prominent medium and astrol-
oyer in the world for years has made
somewhat similar prediction OF a European
war Nine. Thebes had repeatedly done
so She also predicted the Kaisers death.
And for almost a generation both Britons
and Germans spoke Of The Day" when
their respective nations would be at war.
1t was almost like predicting an American
Presidential election in 1924. This kind
of prediction Is stock talk with mediums.
They really use no names or give us any
definite information. But believers always
seem to think they have prophesied some.

the predictions that do not come true. IL

stomach the unpalatable mess which has
astonished the audience.
81 should venture TO say that this neweN
evidence of 'supernormal phenomena this
ectoplaSm substance which the mediums
eject, is some sort of soapy gelatine

When the time comes to materiaHze the

ut is a curious fact that this spirit

and complained that the conditions were
not favorable In other words, q rather
sharper watch was kept on the medium
there than hitherto in other seances

TO safely produce was a sort of soft, bubbly,
frothy mass, perhaps an inch or two long.
At any rate, will be glad to present Nine.

that scientific men do not always discover

experts in magic and do not know how TO
