that in time we shall have a clairvoyant in attendance at every police station, and every offence will be hunted down so that crime will become very difficult if not im possible."

Some may think this is an unfair advantage. Even a criminal de- serves to have a sporting chance, as it were, in escaping from the

sleuth hounds of the law in the shape of policemen; and Bill Sykes and his friends may well complain at being brought to book by a lady medium in a trance reclining on a sofa in darkened room! How- ever that may be, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is now devoting his talents to spreading a belief in spiritualism as a real force affecting the lives of mortals. It has become a re. ligion with him. And he has a grievance that in England mediums are able to prosecution na frauda, which I may say a great many good judges think they are. In his opinion 95 per cent. of mediums are quite honest.

Portuma Castle has had an us- fortunate history, It was destroyed by fire in 1828, but was restored, and then in 1921 during the Sinn Fein disturbances it was damaged by fire and has never been occupied since. Lord Lascelles inherited the property on the death of his uncle, the last Marquis of Clanraçarde, who was very eccentric, and was known na the worst dressed man. in the House of Lords.
