Flooding World in 5. Years

spiritualism in this country, and re-
lated Its history in England. where it
has been investigated by such eminent
men as Sir William Crookes, Sir Oliver
Lodge and others, all of whom have
become converts. He told of the
rector of the Church of England, who

said, were published by Lord North

he wanted for them. II want tever-

piled, refusing to take a cent.
Warns Against Frivolity..
Sir Arthur reiterated his warning
of his previous lecture here. that one
interested in spiritualism should not
approach the subject from a frivolous
standpoint but in serious. religious
spirit The great author Of the i'm
mortal detective hero, Sherlock
Holmes, deprecated the desire of any
one to indulge in amateur detective
work at seances. declaring that
some one will be killed, surely"
Although mediums are under the

interested in spiritualism he should

night to hear his second lecture on
the general subject of the relation
between this world and the next.
Sir Arthur declared that the mira

many from the churches, will be the
very thing that will bring them back
again. through the evidence which

demonstration, through them, OF

Exhibits Spirit Photos.
Sir Arthur illustrated his lecture
with scores of photographs showing
the faces of the dead as they re-
turned to this material world through
the agency of ectoplasm, that mys.
terious mucoid substance given on
by materializing mediums ana IN
which the spirits are enabled to CLONE
themselves, so as to manifest on this
material plane. !,
Photograph after photograph, all
presented by Sir Arthur with an evl-
dent sincerity, ranged from the Welrd

of a little boys head, sketchily mani
fest, kissing his father behind the
ear; Of a beautiful girl. the daughter
of a local scientist; of dead SOLDIER

Pictures showing the ectoplasm IL
self perhaps proved most interesting.
These revealed a sticky, geiatinouss us
mass issuing from the medium ano
flowing into the air, it being declared
by the lecturer that mediums during
this manifestation gave off as much
as fifteen pounds, which was SHOWN
on the scale.
Sir Arthur said that he has botn
