THE LOST WORLD
By SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE



That night (our third in Maple
white Land we had an experience
which left fearful impression upon
our minds, and made us thankful that
Lord John had worked so hard in
making our retreat impregnable. We
were all sleeping round our dying fire
when we were aroused-or. rather.
should say, shot out of our slumbers-
by a succession of the most fright
full cries and screams to which / have
ever listened. 1 know no sound to
which l could compare this amazing
tumult, which seemed to come from
some spot within few hundred yards
of our camp. 1t was as ear-splitting
as any whistle of a railway enginei
but whereas the whistle is a clear,
mechanical, sharp-edged sound, this
was far deeper In volume and vibrant
with the uttermost strain of agony
and horror. We clapped our hands
to our ears to shut out that nerve
shaking appeal. A cold sweat broke
out over my body and my heart
turned sick at the misery of IT. All
the woes of tortured life, all its stu
pendous indictment of high heaven,
it's innumerable sorrows, seemed TO
be centered and condensed into that
one dreadful, agonizing cry. And
then. under this high-pitched. ringing
sound there was another, more inter-
mittent, a low, deep-chested laugh, a
growing, throaty gurgle of merriment
which formed a grotesque accompani-
ment to the shrek with which 1t was
blended. For three or four minutes
on end the fearsome duet continued,
while all the foliage rustled with the
rising Of startled birds. Then 1t shut
off as suddenly as 1t began. For a
long time we sat in Mortified silence.
Then Lord John threw bundle OF
twigs upon the fire and their red glare
lit up the intent faces of my com.
panions and flickered over the great
boughs above our heads.
'sWhat was it?" I whispered.
I'VE have been privileged to over
hear a prehistoric tragedy. the sort
of drama which occurred among the
reeds upon the border of some Juras-
sic lagoon. when the greater dragon
mined the lesser among the slime,
said Challenger, with more solemnltN
than I had ever heard in his voice,

he came late in the order OF eled'

such forces as have been loose To-

lar. will be called upon to distinguish be-
tween certified and uncertifed fiocks.

new undertaking in Maryland that is being
sponsored by the Maryland Poultry Asso-
citation. Inc, in cooperation with the poul-
try department at the University Of Mary
land. The object is TO improve the quality
OF Matching eggs and breeding stock
produced by poultrymen In the State and
to provide for the purchaser an official
assurance that In buying from the owner
Of certified flock he is securing the best
In the way Of poultry that Il is possible to
produce.
Poultry fiocks will only be certified when
they measure up to certain high standards
Of breeding, vigor and health and when
they are maintained according to pre-
scribed regulations Governing sanitation
and management. Flocks TO be certified
must be risidly culled Of all fowls that do
not meet the requirements Of the breed or
that do not show proper health and vigor.
Numerous inspections will be made from
time to time to see that proper feeding and
management methods are being practiced
and that sanitary conditions are maintained

Qualification stamp All inspection certi-
ficatioos will be made under supervision of
the poultry department Of the University
