JAZZ MUSIC IN A ZOO
The lions in the Central Park Zoo in New York showed extreme annoyance when jazz inueic waa played in Dent of their cage (pays tho correspondent in that city of' the Daily Mail). The concert;was arranged by a. group of scientific men, who wished to ascertain whether music really had charms to sooth© the savage breast. The saxophone aroused tho apprehensions of tho hippopotamus, who submerged in her pool ami stayed under. Tho Dons purred, however, during a hymn. A contrary Reaction was produced on a black leopard, which sat out tho jazz strains• with a bored yawn, but nearly had a fit when tho hymn waa played. It waa discovered that any kind* of music reduced the monkey bouse to a gibbering pandemonium.
