Humorist and Scientist to Talk
in Hill Auditorium on
'Coldest Africa'.
SIXTH ON SPEECH SERIES
Lecturer Gives Whimsical Touch
to Truth and Brings Unusual
Facts to Light.
Carveth Wells, humorist, author
and scientist, will speak at 8
o'clock tonight in Hill auditorium
on the subject, "In Coldest Africa."
As the sixth speaker-on the Orator-
ical association program Mr. Wells
is expected to draw an unusually
large audience because of the pe-
culiar nature of his talk.
Mr. Wells is known as the man
who makes facts fascinating and
the truth sound like a lie, and with
a whimsical touch that puts life
into facts that might other Ise lie
dust covered, he stimun his
hearers to actual research -
ences check his statement ;, refsi
erence books but always fil then
fully substantiated, for evelsv state'
ment he makes, no matter , -
diculous it may sound, has , sis
of fact.
Has Popularized Science.
It is 10 years since Mr. Wells be-
gan his career in America, and dur-
ing that time he has revolutionized
the art of lecturing. He has broken
Clown the traditional attitude of'
seriousness toward scientific sub-
jects and built up a reputation as
one of the cleverest lecturers of the
day.
Tonight he will take his audience
through a strange land wherein he
says "nature leers from all sides,
mocking man's incredulity with ir-
refutable fact." Fish that sit in
trees, deer and bears only seven
inhes high, and bouncing fish
balls are :some of the fantastic
sights which Mr. Wells will de-
scribe.
Mr. Wells recently returned from
an expedition to Central Africa
where .he explored the famous
"Mountains of the Moon" for the
Geographical society, and his lec-
ture will be made tip of the strange
sights he witnessed while on this
expedition.
