Show Turtle Liked the Music. The teacher of a school at Man-I Man-I Chester, N. H.. encouraged her pupils to bring small zoological specimens speci-mens to school in order to become fully ful-ly acquainted with them, The resulting result-ing collection included several turtles of various species. They were all kept In one ipclosure. The teacher says : "It was while we had all the specimens speci-mens together that I learned that they were affected In some way by music. They appeared to be listening when the music lesson was in progress. prog-ress. The next music period found me in the room watching them. Be- fore the lesson began the turtles were I moving slowly ahout, hut the moment the singing commenced every head was up in a listening attitude, and I failed to see a movement of head or foot till the music lesson was ended. What their sensations were, of course ! I could not tell. It is reasonable, j however, to believe that they were pleasant, for had they been otherwise : the turtle would have appeared rest-i rest-i less." |
