Professor Luigi Metoxa, Of Rome has pub.


lished an account OF some singular experi-
ments made by him OIL snakes. Among O.
theirs he endeavorcd to ascertain the truth
of the assertions of the ancients respecting
the prediction Of Snakes fof music and
dancing. In the month of July 1922, about
noon, he put into a large box number Of
different kinds of Snakes, all quite lively,
with the exception OF some vipers, which
were enclosed in a separate box. AS soon
as they heard the harmonious tones of an or
gan, all the non-venomous serpents became
agitated N an extraordinary manner; they
attached them selves to the sides of the box
and made every effort to escape. The Ella
hhis and the colnber EscuLahH turned to-
wards the instrument. Ihe vipers for their
part exhibited no symptoms of sensibility.
This experiment has been frequently re-
peatcd, and always with the same results.
