Crowd for Chitina population, in
the hotel lobby, by explaining the
Cosmic rays,gama rays,molicules,
radium emmanations,electrons,etc,
That is, as much as anyone human
could explain them,from what about
them is known now. His explanation
wpuS so interesting that'a 10-year
old boy who was present,said that
Prof.Bennettfs talk seemed as if
it was only 10 minutes longl It
was really nearly P hours long,
but people wished it could have
lasted all night even,it was so
very greatly interesting.He made
diagrams 3c explained them to the
hotel gu8sts.There were 7 scienti
fic people in the party.They pres
Rented the publishers of this paper
with photographs of the maoEnes -th

The Tourists Sc Chitina people who
were gathered in the hotel lobby
listening to Prof .Bennett Sc meet
ing the other noted men of the pea

ehance to talk with such great so:
entists,down in the States, fcli.
All of us who were present feel v
ry honored to have listened to sr.
fine a man as Prof.Bennett. Ana

greatly privileged to have these
scientific people in their mids,©*
