Show Necessary to Watch Their Peculiar Pets ''Don't leave any snakes about tonight!" to-night!" was the closing remark of Mr. S. G. Finch, president of the Naturalists' Nat-uralists' club, Chelsea, England, at a recent meeting of the members. That may sound a curious exhortation, exhorta-tion, yet on this occasion it was a necessary one. The members of this club are in the habit of taking their pets which cover a wide range to meetings held in the parlor of the Six Bells, Chelsea, and on a previous occasion occa-sion some one had inadvertently left behind a grass snake. Later the landlady land-lady had discovered the reptile and was terrified. Every member of the club has a particular Interest. One breeds fish In an aquarium, another studies ants, yet another is interested in butterflies, while the president is an authority on slugs, bis specimens of which get to know him so well that they feed out of his band.
