m I LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

SYNOPSIS Malone, a London newspaper reporter. rejected by the girl he love* because he has no heroic deeds to his credit, appeals to his editor lor a dangerous assignment, and Is sent to interview the irascible Professor Challenger. a scientist, who has recently returned from an expedition to South America with an amazing Bt-ir.’ w'frjch no one believes, of the existence on a great plateau there of many forms of prehistoric 11 fe. By way of proof he shows Malone two sketches—-one, of the cliffs beneath the plateau, the other, of a monstrous animal resembling the stegosaunm—which he had found among tb possessions of an explorer. Maple lThitt. who had died of starvation; some blurred photographs, and a Piece of the wing of a huge flying serpent, or pterodactul. which he had shot down; Malone is convinced of Challenger's sincerity. That night he attends a scientific lecture by an opponent of the professor’s, a Mr. Waldron. CHAPTER T (Continued)

At last the lecture came to an end —I am Inclined to think that it was a premature one, as the peroration was hurried and disconnected. The thraed of the argument had been rudely broken, and the audience was restless, and expectant. Waldron sat down, and after a chirrup from the chairman, Professor Challenger rose and advanced to the edge at the (platform. In the interest of my paper I took down his speech in verbatim. “Ladies and Gentlemen,” he began, amid a sustained interruption from the back. *T beg your pardon —lndies, Gentlemen, and Children— X must apologize. I had inadvertently omitted a considerable section of this audience” (tumult, during which the professor stood with one hand raised and his enormous head nodding sympathetically, as if he were bestowing a pontifical blessing upon the crowd), ‘‘l have been selected to move a vote of thanks to Mr, . Waldron for the very picturesque and imaginative address to Whloh we have Just listened. There are points in it with which I disagree and it has been my duty to indicate them as they arose, but, none the less, Mr. Waldron has accomplished his object well, that object, being to give a simple and interesting arcount of what he conceives to have been the hirtory of our planet. Popular lectures are ibe esslest to listen to, but Mr. Waldron,” (here he beamed and blinked at the lecturer) “will excuse me when I say that they are necessarily both superficial and mis-ICK-tfng, since they have to be graded to the comprehension of an ignorant audience.” (Ironical cheerfug.) "Popular lecturers are in their .nature parasitic.” Angry gesture of protest from Mr. Waldron.) “They exploit for fame or cash the work which has been done by their indigent and unknown brethren. "One ema'lest new fact obtained in the laboratory, one brick built into the templw of science, far outweighs any second-hand exposition which passes an idle hour, but can leave no useful result behind it. I put forward this obvious reflection, not out of any desire tp disparage Mr. Waldron in particular, but that you Glands Must be fed by Glands New health, new youth returns Some of the greatest resnlts in modern medicine :ome through using gland secretions. f The Urer is the largest, most important gland.

may not lose your sense of propriety and mistake the acolyte for the high priest.” (At this point Mr. Waldron whispered to the chairman, who half rose and said something severely to his water-carafe.) “But enough of this!” (Loud and prolonged cheers.) "Let me pass to some subject of wider interest. What is the particular point upon which I, as an original investigator, have challenged our lecturer’s accuracy? It is upon the permanence of certain types of animal life upon the earth. I do not speak upon this subject as an amateur, nor, may I add, as a popular lecturer, but I speak as one whose scientific conscience compels him to adhere closely to facts, when I say that Mr. Waldron is very wrong in supposing because he has never himself seen a so-called prehistoric animal, therefore, these creatures no longer exist. •They are, ineed, as he has said, our ancestors, but they are, if I may use the expression, our contemporary ancestors, who can still be found with all their hideous and formidable characteristics if one has but the energy and hardihood to s6ek their haunts. Creatures which were supposed to be Jurassic, monsters who .would hunt down and devour our largest and fiercest mammals, still exist." 'Cries of "Bosh!” “Prove it!” “How do you know?” “Question!”) “How do I know, you ask me? I know because I have visited their secret haunts. I know because 1 have seen some of them." (Applause, uproar and a voice, “Liar!”) “Am I a liar? Will the person who called me a liar kindly stand up that I may know him?” (A voice, “Here he is, sir!” and an inoffensive little person in spectacles, struggling vio lently, was held up among a group of students.) “Did you venture to call me a liar?” (“No, sir, no!” shouted the accused, and disappeared like a Jack-in-the-box.) “If any person in this hall dares to doubt my veracity, I shall be glad to have a few words with him after the lecture.” (“Liar!”) “Who said that?” (Again the Inoffensive one plunging desperately, was elevatecP high into the air.) “If I come down among you ” (General chorus of “Come, love, come!” which interrupted the proceedings for some moments, while the chairman, standing up and waving both his arms, seemed to be conducting the music. The Professor, with his face flushed, his nostrils dilated and his beard bristling, was now in a proper Berserk mood.) “Every great discoverer has been met with the same incredulity—the sure brand of a generation of fools. When great facts are laid before you. you have not the intuition, the Imagination which would help you to understand them. You can only throw mud at the men who have risked their lives to open new fields to science. You persecute the .prophets! Galileo, Darwin and I ’* (Prolonged cheering and complete interruption.) All this is from my hurried notes taken at the time, which give little notion of the absolute chaos to which the assembly had by this time been reduced. So terrific was the uproar that several ladies had rose among the audience, a tall, thin, bitter man, with the withered aspect of a theologian. He wished, he said, to ask Professor Challenger whether the results to which he had alluded in his remarks had been obtained during a journey to the headwaters of the Amazon made by him two years before. Professor Challenger answered that they had. Mr. Summerlee desired to know how It was that Professor Challenger .claimed to have made discoveries In those regions which had been overlooked by Wallace, Bates, and other previous explorers of established scientific repute. Professor Challenger answered that Mr. Summerlee appeared to be confusing the Amazon with the Thames; that it was in reality a somewhat larger river; that Mr. Summerlee might be Interested to know that with the Orinoco, which already beaten a hurried retreat. Grave and reverend seniors seemed to have caught the prevailing spirit as badly as the student, and I saw white-beareded men rising and shaking their fists at the obdurate Professor. The whole great audience seethed and simmered like a boiling pot. The Professor ook a step forward and raised both his hands. There was something so big and arresting and virile In the man that the clatter and shouting died gradually away before his commanding gesture and his masterful eyes. He seemed to have -a definite message. They hushed to hear It. “I will not detain you,” he said. “It is hot worth it. Truth is truth, and the noise of a number of fool-

I could not eat anything without suffering. I had heartburn, sour stomach, palpitation of the heart, smothering spells, pains in my back and sides and a cough almost like consumption. Nothing helped me. I grew worse and was able to sit up only part of the time. I had lost all hope of ever being any better when someone gave me a Pe-ru-na book. The book described ray case so truly that I began to take Pe-ru-na. After two and a half bottles I could eat without suffering and improved from' then on. I took eight bottles and felt like anew person. Thit was fourteen years ago. So many diseases are due to catarrh that I think Pe-ru-na the greatest family medicine in the world.” For more than half a century Pe-ru-ria has been doing just such work as this.
