INVITATION To
THE SCIENTISTS
Continued from Page One.)

Probably nowhere else may so great
a variety of volcanic phenomena be
seen and readily investigated. Fasci-
mating even in their ugliness are the
MANY weird shapes and varied shades
of color which the lava, ancient or re-
cent. has taken as it cooled to rock.
Everywhere there is alluring seen
erv. everywhere the charm of novelty,
in the often horribly rough and desc
late lava streams, the astonishing sharp
ridges carved by the elements from
huge lava beds, the vast mountain
masses. the beds of light coral rock ana
the deep, steep-sided valleys.
Everywhere there is the unaceus-
toned. everywhere there is story
plainly spread before the geologlsf
which tells him how the fiery agencies
have done their work. Great lessons
these which every willing student may
make his own.
'sNo one, and especially the geoio-
| gist, can pass over the black yaSgeo
| surface of lava streams that darken
| the slopes of Mauna Loa, or roam about
| the ancient crater of Kilauea, or peer
down into the awful pit where now It's
| activity lies, or look with delight INTO
| the beautiful palm embowered Walpio
valley, or, perhaps most thrilling or al,
stand on Haleakala when the glory ana
grandeur of clouds is piled about II
in masses that no imagination coulu
picture, and leave Hawaii as he came
For these are experiences that hIt the
heart and soul of man to helghts from
which he can never descend, ana the
memory of it all shall always con
| tinue.
DR.. Brigham, after extolling the adj
| vantages of the Bishop Museum, makes
this characteristic statement:
"In anthrOpology visitor to TINS
town has a wide and most interesting
field. The various degrees of mongrei
ism are most worthy of note and specl
mems of the human race, the results OF

seen The degrees and component rae
tors of hybridism seem unlimited.
