Eager To See The Snakes

And Yet the Ladies Shiver and Scream

BIG SNAKE COLLECTION

Is Being Made at University Museum, New Snakes Brought in Nearly Every Day

Norman A. Wood, of "Warbler" fame, brings a shocking charge against the ladies. He says that two-thirds of the people who ask to see the snake collection in the museum are women. That snakes hold a kind of fascination for females, "who scream and squirm and shiver but somehow seem to enjoy the creepiness of it and come to see them again."

Striped and spotted, pickled and bottled, Mr. Woods looks upon them and calls them "pretty."

New snakes are being brought to the museum nearly every day and Prof. Adams still wants more, that he may complete a local collection.
