poisonous snakes from. the far east, and
turned on his music. The snakes be-
gan to take notice right away. One of
the big king cobras raised his head
high in the air and glided across to
where the phono ograph rested. The
reptile eyed the machine curiously, and
its head began to wave to and fro,
keeping time to the weird strains of
music.
Several of the other snakes Joined
him, just in front of the metal horn
from which the music emerged. Dit
