Snakes Fond. OF Music.

Science has recently been studying
the question as to whether or not
snakes have really an appreciation OF
music. This applies particularly to
the cobra, which responds to the pip
Ing of gourd instrument played by
the East Indian fakir with a rhythmic
movement suggesting a dance. The
conclusion seems to be that 1t an
swers to the musical notes much In
the same way as dog does-that is
TO say, through special or nervous
sympathy. When the whistles blow
at noon in the Zoo the wolves set up
great bowling in concert. Whether
or not they enjoy this sort Of music
Is disputed, though probably they do.
for some dogs undoubtedly take pleas
ure In harmonious strains and will
run a considerable distance to sit up
In front of a hand-organ and sing"
while other dogs unquestionably SUI
fer from certain kinds OF music and
express their pain in lugubrioua
bowls.

DOGS ANCESTRY A PUZZLE
NaturaiIsts by No Means Agreed as to
How the Present FavorIte Of Man.
Really Has Descended.

Naturalists and the world at iargel
seem to generally accept the theory
that the domestic dog is. in someE
sense, collateral descendant OF the
wolf or jackal. says Harper's Weekly.
A professor In the Natural History
museum of Paris has communicated
results Of his study OF various canine
skulls to the Academy OF Sciences,
He appears to have noticed certain
peculiarities of growth which have
hitherto escaped biologists. -
He states that the skull OF almost
every species of wolf and jacket differs
from the skull Of the shepherd dog to
an extent that makes 1t impossible
that this dog should belong In the
same classification. The skull of the
Indian wolf. on the contrary. shows
some points of resemblance. This, In
deed Is the only savage canine the
top of whose head projects like that
Of our dog.
There are, moreover, other charao-
teristics which the Indian wolf has In
common with the dog, and which the
ordinary wolf does not share with
them, although his origin and that of
the dog have long been supposed to be
D common one.
The conclusion of this scientist Ia
that the Indian wolf is the progenitor
of the shepherd dog and the blood
hound. There were two primitive
races of dogs analogous to these which
were first domesticated in Central
Asia, whence they passed to Europe.
and there seems no reason to doubt
that the bloodhound Of today Is the
direct descendant of the dog spoken OF
by the ancients as 1.-The dog Of the
age of bronze" r.
