LOTOS CLUB SEES SNAKES
DR.. Ditmars Realistic Lecture
Startles Audience

II happened at the IOtOs Club. one
would hardly think the Iotos Club a place
where such a thing could happen, but so
runs the sad truth. Even the Oldest mem
her could not remember a time when forty
snakes we're ever before visible in the sa-
cred halls At one and the same time. All
forty were in the same family, too. DR..
Ditmars said so.
Dr. Ditmars was the one who set EN- up.
IN the daytime he takes care OF the Bronx
Geological Gardens, but at night he has a
yysv OF making his friends see snakes IN
most amazing profusion. But every one
who saw them last night walked out Of
the door in a fashion Of which the most
exacting wife would be properly proud. and
every one doubtless awakened this morn
ing in the best Of health and spirits-un-
less he went somewhere after the talk.
The doctor told Of his trip 70 the un-
charted wilds of Florida in search OF rep
tilian additions to his zoo. The tale was
punctuated with almost moving pictures
and wholly living specimens. 80 long as
the picture part was on the boards the au-
djence enjoyed the story audibly but when
the real specimens came along they Weren I
quite 30 much AT ease And when finally
