THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

f SYNOPSIS Malone, a London newspaper reporter, rejected by the jrirl he loves because he has no heroic deeds to hie credit, appeals to his editor for a dangerous assignment and is sent to interview Professor Challenger, who has recently returned from South America with a story of the existence thsre of prehistoric animals. Malone sets out for South America with Professors Summerleo and Challenger ar.d Lord Roxilon, well-known explorer. They reach a high cliff, the outlying pocket of the lost world, and olimb a detached pinnacle, the only moans of ascending. For a bridge they throw a tree across the abyss which separates them from the ma , '> plate. 'P. Their faithful Zambo h. ■ not ye crossed when their bridge goes down. Malone writes of their experiences with prehistoric animals and throws the letters across to Zambo to take to the steamboat captain. After many hardships, a young Indian chief helps them escape through a secret cave. On their return to England Professor Summer lee describes the wonders of the Lost World to a vast audience. GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XVI (Continued) “It had been hoped that the proceedings would end there, and that a vote of thanks and congratulation, moved by Professor Sergius, of Upsala University, would be duly seconded and carried; but it was Boon evident that the course of events was not destined to flow so smoothly. Symptoms of opposition had been evident from time to time during the evening, and now Dr. James Illlngsworth of Edinburgh, rose In the center of the hall. Dr. Illingworth asked whether an amendment shduld not he taken before a resolution. “The Chairman: “Yes, sir, if there must be an amendment.’ “Dr. Illingworth: ‘Your Grace, there must be an amendment.’ "The Chairman; ‘Then let us take It at once.’ “Professor Summerlee (springing to his feet): ‘Might I explain, your Grace, that this man is my personal enemy ever since our controversy In the Quarterly Journal of Science as to the true nature of Bathybius?’ ” “The Chairman: T fear I cannot go Into personal matters. Proceed.' “Dr. Illlngsworth was imperfectly heard In part of his remarks on account of the strenuous opposition of the friends of the explorers. Some attempts were also made to pull him down. Being a man of enormous physique, however, and possessed of a very powerful voice, he dominated the tumult and succeeded in finishing his speech. It was clear, from the moment of his rising, that he had a number of friends and sympathizers in the hall, though they formed a minority In the audience. The attitude of the greater part of the public might be described as one of attentive neutrality, “Dr. Illlngsworth began his remarks by expressing his high appreciation of the scientific work both NEW METHOD” HEALS RUPTURE Kansas City Doctor’s Discovery Makes Truss or Operation Unnecessary Anew discovery which, experts agree, has no equal for healing effects In all rupture cases. Is the latest accomplishment of Dr. Andrews, the well-known Hernia specialist of Ktmsas City, Mo. The extraordinary success of this new method proves '.hat It holds and heals a rupture. It weighs only a few ounces. Has no hard, gouging pads, no elastic belt, no leg straps, no steel bands, and Is as comfortable as a light garment. It has enabled hundreds of persons to throw away trusses and declare their rupture absolutely healed. Many of these had serious double ruptures, from which they had suffered for yeara. It is Dr. Andrews’ ambition to have every ruptured person enjoy the quick relief, comfort and healing power of his discovery, and he will send it on free trial to any one who writes him at his office, 6231 Koch Bldg., Kansas City, Mo. He wants one person in each neighborhood to whom he can refer. If you wlßh to be rid of rupture for good, without an operation, take advantage of the doctor’s free offer.

of Professor Challenger anti of Professor Summerlee. He much regretted that any personal bias should have been read Into his remarks, which were entirely dictated by his desire for scientific truth. His position, Jn fact, was substantially the same As that taken up by Professor Surpmerlee at the last meeting. At that last meeting Professor Challenger had made certain asertions which had been queried by his colleague. Now this colleague came forward himself with the same assertions and expected them to remain unquestioned. Was this reasonable? “A year ago one man said certain things. Now four men said other and more startling ones. Was this to constitute a final proof where the matters in question were of the most revolutionary and Incredible character? There had been recent examples of travelers arriving from the unknown with certain tales which had been too readily accepted. Was the London Boological Institute to place itself In this position? He admitted that the members of the committee were men of character. But human nature was very complex. Even professors might be misled by the desire for notoriety. Each member of the committee had his own motive for making the most of his results (‘Shame! shame!’) He had no desire to be offensive. ('You are!’ and interruption.) The corroboration of these wondrou., tales was really of the most slender description. What did it amount to? Some photographs. Was it possible that In this age of ingenious manipulation photographs could be accepted as evidence? What more? We have a story of a flight and a descent by ropes which precluded the production of larger rpecimens. It was ingenious, but not convincing. It was understood that Lord John Roxton claimed to have the skull of a phororachus. He could only say that he would like to see that skull. “Lord John Roxton: ‘ls this fellow calling me a liar?’ (Uproar.) “The Chairman: ‘Order! order! Dr. Illingworth, I must direct you to bring your remarks to a conclusion and to move your amendment.' “Dr. Illingworth: ‘Your Grace, I have more to say, but I bow to your ruling. I move, then, that, while Professor Summerlee be thanked for his interesting address, the whole matter shall be regarded as “nonproven,” and shall be referred back to a larger, and possibly more reliable, committee of investigation.’ “It is difficult to describe the confusion caused by this amendment. A large section of the audience expressed their indignation at such a slur upon the travelers by noisy shouts of dissent and cries of ‘Don’t put it!’ ‘Withdraw!’ ‘Turn him out!’ On the other hand, the malcontents —and it cannot be denied that they were fairly numerous—cheered for the amendment, with cries of ‘Order!’ ‘Chair!’ and ‘Fairi play!’ A scuffle broke out in the back benches and blows were freely exchanged among the medical students who crowded that part of the hall. It was only the moderating influence of the presence of large numbers of ladies which prevented an absolute riot. Suddenly, however, there was a pause, a hush, and then complete silence. Professor Challenger was on his feet. His appe.arance and manner are peculiarly arresting, and as he raised his hand for order the whole audience settled down expectantly to give him a hearing. “ ‘lt will wlthlr. the recollection of many present,’ said Professoi Challenger, ‘that similar foolish a.*.' unmannerly scenes marked the last meeting at which I have been able to address them. On that occasion Professor Summerlee was the chief offender, and though he is now chaßtened and contrite the matter could not be entirely forgotten. I have heard tonight similar, but even more offensive, sentiments from the person who has just sat down, and though It Is a conscious effort of self-effacement to come down to that person’s mental level, I will endeavor to do so, In order to allay any reasonable doubt which could possibly exist In the minds of anyone.’ (Laughter and interruption.) 'I need not remind this audience that, though Professor Summerlee, as the head of the Committee of Investigation, has been put up to speak tonight, still it is I who am the real prime mover in this business, and that It is mainly to me that any successful result must be asoribed. I have safely conducted these three gentlemen to the spot mentioned, and I have, as you have heard, convinced them of the accuracy of my previous aocount. We had hoped that we should find upon our return that no one was so dense as to dispute our joint conclusions. Warned, however, by my previous experience, I have not come without such proofs as may convince a reasonable man. As | explained by Professor Summerlee, ' our cameras have been tampered with by the ape-men when they ransacked our camp, and most of our negatives ruined.’ (Jeers, laughter, and ’Tell us another!’ from the back.) ‘I have mentioned the ape-men, and I cannot forbear from saying that some of the sounds which now met my ears brink hack most vividly to my recollection my experiences with those Interesting creatures. (Laughter.)( ‘ln spite of the destruction of so many Invaluable negatives, there still remain in our collection a certain number of corroborative photographs showing the conditions of life upon the plateau. Did they accuse them of having forged these photographs?’ “The negatives were open to the inspection of experts. But what other evidence had they? Under the conditions of their esoape It was naturally impossible to bring a large amount of baggage, but they had rescued Professor Sumrr&rlee’s collections of butterflies and beetles, containing many new speoles. Was this not evidence?” (Several voices, ‘No.’) ‘Who said no?’ “Dr. Illingworth (rising): ‘Our point is that such a collection might have been made In other places than, a prehistoric plateau.’ (Applause.) "Professor Challenger: 'No doubt, sir, we have to bow to your scientific authority, although I must admit that the name Is unfamiliar. Passing, then, both the photographs and the entomological collection, I come "to the varied and accurate inform*V - V

GERMANSCHOOL BUSINESS POOR Applications for College Entrance Dwindle. Bv Timet Special BERLIN, April 18.—The number of applications for matriculation at German universities Is rapidly declining. This doorcase Is greatest in the medical department, where in 1924 almost 60 per cent fewer persons than in 1918 applied for admission. Next follow the departments of dentistry, theology and architecture, which likewise range below the prewar figures. Also, the number of foreigners at German universities has decreased. At the end of 1924 they numbered only 10,000. During the summer term of 1923 more than 15,000 were mataoulated.

—to btiild up Weight/ ANY WOMAN, any man, can now have a well-developed face and form. The whole, simple secret of a well-developed form Is In the number of blood-cella In your body. You can now forget all the theoretical talk about diet, exerclse, fad treatments, food-fats and fat-foods. Nothing Is of any ÜBe, after all, except blood-cells I Thin, run-down men and woman, with borfy necks, sunken cheeks, bony shoulders —all these are suffering from one thing—too few blood-cells. Science has proved that S.S.S. helps to make the rich, red-blood-cells, which you need. Your blood is starving for these new blood-cells! Give your blood the blood-cell3 It needs—take S.S.S. the great scientific blood-cell maker. S.S.S. has done marvels, too, In making beautiful complexions, clearing the skin, making lips rosy red, the cheeks full and plump --because It rids the blood of impurities which cause pimples, blackheads, acne, blotches, eozema, tetter, rash and rheumatism, too. As the medicinal Ingredients of B.S.S. are purely vegetable, It may be taken with perfect safety. This is why S.S.S., since 1826, has meant to thousands of underweight men and women a plus In their strength.
