FAIRY Music" May Not Be Mere Imagination


Stories of fairy music in the forest,
of haunted waterfalls, and mermaidS
singing near the seashore, long
thought mere Pigments of the imagi-
nation, may have a sound basis IN
fact. In an issue of Science, DR.. AL
exander Forbes of the Harvard medi-
cal school reports numerous cases in
which trees seem to have separated
discordant shouts and noises and CIV
en- back echoes in musical tones.
IN every case" he says, 1.-The source
of the sound-waves on a beach, roar
or river, exhaust of motor boat or
discordant human voices-was one in
which many pitches were present.
Something in the surroundings, usual
ly trees. must have separated the
sounds according to pitch, placing
those of one pitch in one place and
those of another pitch elsewhere. In
this respect the phenomenon appears
analogous to that of white light being
broken up into pure spectral colors by
a prism"
This reflection of absorption OF
sound waves of different pitches, Doc
tor Forbes explains, is only rarely OBJ
served Sometimes the phenomenon
Is distinct and clear in one spot. yet

Her gown, gently stirred by the warm

alive, feminine. The milk-white of
bare throat and shoulder and rounded

the soft lure Of her eyes, the tender
smile upon her lips, drew him slowly
closer, closer to her. She lifted her

they shone straight into his.

He caught her in his arms, crushed
her to him, kissed her. Then ne let
her go and stood, stern-faced, watch

For a moment he thought that the
hand at her side was rising to strike
him full in the face. But he did not

Had such been Judith's intention,
suddenly it changed.
