SIR CONAN DOYLE’S LECTURES.

Eeceived Nov. 23, 8.50 a.m.' SYDNEY, Nov. 23,

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s lectures continue to draw crowded audiences. There is much newspaper correspondence and strong counter-blasts from the churches. -In his third lecture Cohan Doyle displayed spirit photograph messages, including those from his' own son; W. T/ Stead, John Buskin, and Sir William Crookes. • He also showed pictures .-of a psycho-plasm substance which, he declared, exuded from mediums, who lost from 20 to 30 pounds in weight during a trance. This substance possessed carbonate of lime and phosphates, and came from the medium in the shape of vapour, gradually growing more solid and taking the shape of a human face or limbe. The assumption was that into this shell the spirit came.
