LESSON FIVE-Why a Timid Man
beats His Wife.
THE d,scoutent OF the timid who
u fail daily in the world makes
them irritable at home. Just az the
timid mau is always weak willed he
cannot avoid tho outbursts which are
politely lcplored. The timld man who
is afraid 10 express his power ont
side of the home finds his compensa-
tion in playing the tyraut at home,
The restrained impulse of virile virtues
of the day arc transformed because
he lacks tho moral equilibrium into
tyraDnical vices at night. So the man
who fawningly jefers TO his associates
returns TO beat his wife.

A FORETASTE OF MARVELS

THE Forthcoming instalment gives real idea
of THE LOST WORLD. and you begin to
perceive some of the quality of the great serial
novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle which began in
our last issue. You must have been impressed by
the quiet, natural way in which it began, the lack
of any straining for effect, the logical way it led
up to Malones meeting with Professor George
Edward Challenger, one of the most amazing
characters that ever lived in book.
Even the exciting hand-to-hand fight that
Malone has with the great scientist and that
will stir the blood of anyone, if there is any red
ness in it-cant overshadow the narvels the pro-
fessor reveals. The third and fourth chapters of
this novel of adventure are exciting and absorbing
enough to make climax for most tales; but they
serve merely introduction to THE LOST
WORLD.
You must not expect, however, to be plunged into

a young professor named Ernst Able,
which resulted in h ~perfecting OF a
cooperative scheme for the Carl Zeiss
Glassworks in Jena, Germany. This
young man, a scientist and an in
ventor, had been taken into partner
ship by Carl Zeiss, and on b death
OF the founder, he acquired sole pos
session of the works. Two years later
he created the Carl Zeiss Stiftung.
To this foundation he transferred
the ownership Of the business and a
controlling share in the affiliated
glassworks. That is, he transferred
the ownership of the Zeiss works to
itself.
