MUSIC AND MICE.
A Suggestion ofa Model Trap..Ehect
OfPlayiug Piano on Rodents.

OF FIaylnE F1anO on ItOueHts'
Truth of London suggests that as
mice like music there is an independent
fortune awaiting the man who VIII IN
vent small music box which When
wound will run all night, since such a
contrivance would serve to call mice
into traps and would be to the mice
what decoy is to a flock of ducks, or
a looking glass to a tiger. After this
suggestion, which is not untrue to ma
ture, Truth went on to say that music
that sounds out of kilter to a critics
ears would also drive mice from the
house. If the Truth writer had even ac-
tually seen a mouse under the influence
of music he would never have made that
mistake. Neither would he have said,
IAN accordion would also make the
agile rodent desert the house as he Is
said to desert the sinking ship
Whether music affects rats is queS-
ion not yet settled by students of nat
ural history.
AS to the actual doings of mouse
when listening to music it has been
observed that the playing of piano,
even the tum-tum of a beginner learn
ing his first tune, will cause mice of
the common House variety to run up
and down behind the plaster of a house,
causing it to rattle in a way fit to dis
turb the most earnest student. one
night half dozen persons were gath
cred in the parlor of an Adirondack
home, listening to a skilled player,
who. as a woodsman said, could make
a pianner talk" when it was observed
that the mice We're acting in an un-
usual manner. The ordinary conduct
of mice when they hear piano music
is to merely rattle the plaster but on
this night they squeaked and squeaed
and ratified the plaster as they never
done before. The rush of the rodents

but 1t was hours before the last squeak
was heard
one of the human listeners was
boy who had some little skill as a har-
monica player, and he went frequently
to the woods, where, with the aid of
the instrument, he succeeded in call
ing chipmunks, red squirrels, and on
one occasion, a Woodchuck, besides
wood mice-including the deer mouse
and the smaller birds. The mice chief
ly ran about the player, with now and
than sqeek, but sometimes a low
strain with slight modulations would
seem to drive them insane, and then,
without hesitation, the would run over
the player, as If he had been a stump.
