Inarticulate Sounds.

In spite Of his unwieldy size and ap

been known to accompany the drum
and flute with certain inarticulate
sounds.
Button once made q series OF ex.
periments to ascertain the musical
taste Of an elephant In the Jardin des
Plantes. Simple melodies, played on
the violin, seemed to give the beast
great pleasure, whereas variations
made, apparently. no impression. But
when q horn-player played q popular
tune the elephant became much ex-
cited, danced and made an effort to
accompany the music with grunts. At
last he put his trunk into the open end
Of the instrument. as IL to draw out
the music itself, and then caressed The
player most tenderly, to show him his
gratitude.
