SONG OF THE SWAN.
A Vocal Dirse About Which Poets and
katuraIsts DISAGREE.

Naturalists Disagree.
There is an air of legendary mys.
terry about the swan. Some swans are
mute, but most have sonorous voices
Of surprising power and reach. Poetic
tradition declares that the swan sings
in dying. and so we have the familiar
phrase to Indicate the last effort Of a
poet-"swan song" OthellO eXclaims,
II will play the swan and die III mu'
sic" And Portia says in THE Mer'
chant of Venice" "He makes swan
like end. fading in music"
a hundred other poets have used SIM
liar expressions, and yet naturalists
declare that the swan does not make
any music in dying. though it may
snake noise. And these same natur.
alists aver that the great vocal pow
REssitat .$NsanS are due to a special
apli:sratus formed by the
1coiIing uf the long Machea (windpipe,

The crane. whose trumpet call. when

clouds after the birds are out of sight,
is furnished with a similar vocal in
