EFFECT OF MUSIC.

Eagles when played TO become sert-
Gus and sedate and listen intently with
evident enjoyment.
Captive coyotes when music is played
will range themselves in a half-circle
and listen with the greatest attention.
Snakes like the bagpipes played soft
ly. and will sometimes coil up with
raised head and gently sway TO and fro.
Lionesses are affected most by the
bagpipes. They crouch half frightened,
and then dash madly around their cage
as though scared.
Perhaps the most surprising effect of
music on animals is in the case Of the
alligator. When the experiment was
tried the big brute rose from the water
and actually smiled with his great teeth
exposed.
When a whistle was played for the
benefit of cage of monkeys 1t was
found the green-bonnet monkey sat
with hands and feet tightly drawn to-
gether, as though he controlled himself
by the utmost effort. Another monkey
dropped his jaw and made horrible
faces a. the musician.
Just as music has different effects on
different natures, so it acts differently
upon animals of varying species. Weird
music is more successful in attracting
the attention of animals than that of
the louder and harsher instruments.
The blare of trumpet only infuriates
them, while of the cornet and flageolet
they take not the least notice. Bag
pipes and the violin are afforded atten-
ton and interest,

Remains Of an Early Territorial Massacre

Remains OF an Early Territorial massacre.
R.M. Cooper and Chas. Carter OF
Wichita unearthed several old guns
and some human bones in tie sand
hills near WaynOka, OF. last Sunday.
The collection was taken through
Wellington night before last and
placed on exhibition in Wichita,
Both Cooper and Carter work on the
Santa Fe fence gang, Last Sunday,
while spending the day at WaynOka
the two concluded to 90 fishing in the
Cimarron, which runs near the town.
They walked about two miles out OF
town and near the place which they
selected was mammoth sand hill.
The sand 10 this vicinity is constant.
y being shifted about by the wind, as
there is no grass or anything else te
hold it in its place.
Mr.. Carter employed his time fihing
about over the hills. While walking
near the south side Of the sand hill he
noticed the stock OF an old fashioned
gun sticking up out Of the sand. He
unearthed it and by digging around
found the stocks Of two other flint
lOck muskets, an old fintlock horse
pistol, several arm and skull bones,
besides some ribs and a portion Of the
backbone. 1t appeared that there
must have been several persons in the
party as the skull bones do not
appear to have belonged to the same
skull. There were many other bones
found, but they decOmpOsed as soon
is exposed to the air. ln one of the
skulls was fattened bullet, showing
that the man must have been killed.
Mr.. Cooper also found a small rib
which a doctor at Waynoka said could
not have belonged to a child Older
than 5 or 9 years.
The ground shows every evidence Of
having been camping ground and it
looks as though at one time it was
upon the banks of the Cimarron,
Roots of trees were found near the
spot which would seem to show the
same thing. 1t is thought that the
wind in shifting the sand has gradu
ally changed the course of the river
and forced the sandhill to move COM
pletely over the camping spot. The
people Of WaynOka think that other
finds will be made in the vicinity and
a number of them propose to dig
about the place.
The old timers Of the vicinity assert
that the place has been the scene Of
some border tragedy. The muskets
show that they have been discharged
aud never reloaded. The horse pistol,
which has a barrel fourteen inches in
length, shows evidence Of having been
in fierce fight. 1t looks as though
someone had grasped it by the barrel
and struck someone with it, as the
iron and brass, which formerly held
the stock, is bent in half circle
backwards.
Some think that it is the last scene
of a fight between settlers and border
ruffians. Whatever the cause, the
battle must have taken place fifty
years ago at least, as flntlocks have
not been used since that time. The
shifting sand which piled about the
dead members Of the parties a half
century ago has at last exposed to the
world the terrible tragedy it covered.
1t is doubtful if its real history will
