SANTA BARBARA, Calf, December
l7.-There may be sermons in stones
and books in the running brooks, but
it was left for Santa Barbara woman
to reveal yesterday that there is Schu-
bert melody in pan of boiling beans.
AS the hoarse voice of radio an
nouncer burst through the kitchen
steam of a quiet home here and the
strains of Ave Maria" filtered from
pan of beans Simmering on the electric
range. the housewife might have been
excused had she exhibited touch OF
nervousness, because there wasn't
radio set anywhere in the house.
But she didn't. She approached the
range in a scientific spirit and stirred
the beans vigorously. In answer
whole chorus burst into hunting song,
following by grooming plantation
melody.
Radio experts admitted they were
baff1ed by the phenomenon, but pointed
out that radio music has been heard
in hot-air shafts connected with elec-
trio furnaces. The bottom of the pan
might have acted as diaphram and
reproduced a radio program picked up
inductively by the electric power line,
they added.
