all the others seeking these chairs and the
honors and situations that go with them.
How often I have witnessed the agitation
and nervousness of these Savants and intel
lectuals in making visits pulling strings and
carrying on intrigues when they learned that
some academician had fallen gravely i'll and
that there might be vacant chair to be filled.
The state of mind Of these perpetual candi-

is certainly not conducive to making new dis

II have so much sympathy for the academic

clans understand perfectly why their less for

"A LAKHOVSKY insists that jealousy is a
wi consuming, devouring mental state that
affects every organ in the body. He found in
innumerable cases that 1t broke down health
and that medicine failed to give the least relief
The patients frequently concealed this con-
dition from their doctors so that the latter
were in the dark as to the real cause. AS for
a cure he knows of none except for the victim

when patients did manage to change their

From a political viewpoint Karl Marx dis
covered this microbe. 1t was jealousy with
which he infected the world when he preached
class struggle and urged the masses to destroy
the more efficient individuals. We see the fruit
of this sowing of the tares today in Russia and
Spain, where the masses believe they will be-
come richer If they destroy all wealth. The
passion that all the political demagogues in
the world today are playing on Is jealousy and
nothing else-blind, stupid jealousy and hatred
