the bird world

NATURALLY the bird world is full Of
~ music lovers. With most SongbirdS, the
music of others, feathered or human, stimu-
latcs them to brave efforts at rivalry. But the
nightingale. the sweetest Of all singers, can
be so ravishcd by the music Of a flute that
it will fall to the ground and lie painting in an
ecstatic swoon. Strangely enough. pigeons,
which are denied the gift Of song, are keeny
alive 70 musical impressions. There is a well
authenticated story about the pet pigeon Of
one Bcrtoni, a singing master OF Venice.
The bird would sit for hours on its master $
piano, precning itself and swelling out its
bosom with delight, while the singing was
going on Eventually it had TO be ban
ishcd during lesson hours, As is ear was 50
true and its expressions Of d~pcaSurc 50
pronounced when a pupil varied in the
slightest from the key that BcrtOniS pa
irons became ovcrscnsitivc in the presence
Of his fcathcred critic.
That domestic cattle will stop eating
when their attention is diverted by music
is a sure sign of their love for It. Even an
angry bull can be made placid as many a
country fiddler, who has been marooncd in
a trcctop, can attest. In rural communities
where oxen are yoked 20 the pillow, II is Gus
tomary to drone a sort OF prolonged chant
10 inctc the animals 10 work. The music
seems to be more eficaciouS than the goad.
II remains only 20 be said that the cat, the
donkey. and the hyena are the only animals
that show complete inSensibility TO musical
sounds

stinct. have displayed Partially for martial
music They are fond of music of all sorts;
but the blare of brass is more to their liking
than the signing of violins. Equine musical
ac,,teness IS shown by the rapidity with
which cavalry horses learn the significance
Of trumpet calls on the drill field.
THE big hulking elephant would scarcely
L be suspected of refined musical taste; but
the pachyderrn is a most exacting critic. he
has little liking for the brass section OF the
orchestra; but he would give up one OF MS
ivory tusks for the delight of bassoon solo.
This deep-toned reed is his favorite, and he
will listen to it by the hour Some years ago
a curious Frenchman, who tried the eX-
pertinent of playing string quartetS TO ele-
phants. discovered that they were most
pleased by andante movements. Who says
now that the elephant is not romantic!
Circus men have learned that elephants
will not walk into the arena peaceably UNI
less a stately march is played for them and
they will not be on their good behavior II
music of a frivolous character IS played dur
ing their act. As a result, circus band
masters usually arrange Wagnerlan pot
pourri for the act of what Tody Hamilton
was wont to term the "phalanx OF pom
derous, playful pachydermS. "
Circus bandmasterS become well ac.
uuainted with the musical idioSyncraSieS OF
inhabitants Of the menagerie tent. 1t Is
their experience that the most nasty tenn
pered brute, always excepting the ghouliSh
hvena. can be Gained by soothing music.
Tigers are not very susceptible; but they
will sit quietly when a pleasing melody Is
PLAYED softly. Leopards are the only ielineS
that display musical interest. They caper
with delight to a lively tune and Snarl to
slow music Lions are great music lovers.
They will sit motionlcss for hours and listen
with every evidence of pleasure to smooth
flowing melody. But rapid or broken
rhvthms will make them pace their cage I'M
patiently, while discord will evoke grows
OF angry protest.
SO marked is the sensibility of reptiles to
music, that it is strange 1t has not invited
scientific investigation. The RATHER or the
hooded cobra at the first notes OF flute will
partly raise itself from the ground and sway
to and fro in rhythm with the music. 1t IS
claimed that all venomous reptiles are so
affected by the notes of a reed or pipe IN
strument that they can be handled with
IMMUNITY while in this charmed state. Liz
ards will come from their hiding places by
hundreds at the sound Of flute, and say
ages who hunt them for food charm them by
whistling. While under the spell Of the
music they make no attempt to escape.
Music will make the industrious spider
stop spinning to listen. The story Of
GrGtry the composer and his pet spider,
which came out every day and sat for
hours on his harpsichord when he was COM
posing, is a musical classic. Mice are sim
ilary affected, and recent experiments have
demonstrated that fish are strongly at
tractcd by musical sounds.

if the home merchant cannot supply the demand they will
order them from afar or go after them.
Is it not true that Atlanta is today recognized as the
Commercial Metropolis of the South? Here are great
stores with buyers securing the markets Of the world for
the last word in fashions.
A look through them will send you home full Of
IDEAS any of which would be worth ten times the

you up to buy your spring BILL and it is reasonably
adequate.
