Science

Several recent exposures OF "ecto-
plasm" in spiritualislic seances have
led to general ridicuie of a substance
that, a few years ago, converted
many persons to belief in mediums.
The use of "ectoplasm" by mediums
even converted several scientists to
belief in psychic phenomena. Many
Photographs We're taken of this mys-
FERROUS substance, which generally is
sued from the MEDIUMS mouth and
assumed certain definite shapes, such
as a hand or head or even the bust
of some PRISON supposed to be a de-
parted friend or relative. Gradually
the tricks We're exposed. One of the
leaders in this campaign has been
Father c. NJ. de Heredia, a Catholic
priest, who, for many years, has made
a study Of the tricks of mediums and
who is able to duplicate most Of them
himself.
"Ectoplasn1," as commonly used by
mediums, is merely shreds of fine
cloth, concealed and manipulated in
various ways. A great part of the
attention attracted by the device may
have been due 10 cleverness in select
ing this name for the new medium.
istic trick. 1t has a scientific sound
and. in fact, has a scientific meaning.
Ectoplasm is the outer coating of the
cells that make up all living things.
