Death strikes Garrett Folsom while Ewimming with a party at Ocean Town, N.J> At the Hotel Majusaca, where they had all been guests, an inquiry is begun, after a doctor, perfunctorily examining him on the beach, pronounces him dead. Folsom's companions had been Roger Neville, Mrs. Helen Barnaby and Car-melita Valdon. It is established that Folsom, just before his death, had been standing next to Ned Barron, who was one of a party including his wife, Madeline; Angelica Fair and her fiance, Robin Sears, and his father, Croydon Sears. It is decided to telegraph Folsom's sitter, Anastasia, in New York. Then the startling announcement is r.:;i'i- that FoVom had been murdered i.i tr.3 ocean--stabbed to death.

Ross answered intelliegntly and respectfully, and sfcon Jepson had a neat list of Garrett Folsom's activities of late and data of his life in a general "Well, that's all I can get from this chap," Jepson said.

THat is, unless stroke of fate or some bit of good luck sends us an unexpected flash of fortune. I mean if somebody confesses, or if somebody else was an eyewitness to the crime."

He could have hurried' away afterwan mingled with a group on some other rope, or he might have gone right out of the water and started for home. But before the fatal jab that man had to be near the victim and must have been seen by somebody."

""vv Music hath charms I age breast, To soften rocks or -The orchestra that visited the zoo for the purpose of testing the "lower animals' " love of music consisted of two violins, an oboe, a flute and a mouth organ. In turn the orchestra played to animals, birds and reptiles. The reaction of the inhabitants of the zoo is illuminating, but by no means conclusive; for the question as to whether the lower forms of life really like man-made music remains unsolved. Certain animals definitely did not like theV music. The rhinoceros, for instance, found all tunes unwelcome. They tried the "Moonlight Sonata" on him and he expressed disapproval. Then the orchestra switched to "Tea for Two" and he attempted to charge his would-be entertainers. .The sea Hons, on the contrary, showed keen delight in all except the jazz. They prefer old-fashioned music; hearing it they stopped their frolicking and became positively dreamy. The beasts of the wolf family decided that the best way of offsetting such sound is to drown them. out. Consequently, when the orchestra played a tune in a minor key the wolves and jackals pointed their noses to the sky and thundered a chorus. The minor key seemed to be the most disliked. . The cheetah showed discrimination. He appeared to like "I Want to Be Happy," but when-the orchestra switched to Gounod's "Funeral March" he showed discontent, The crocodile proved that * misunderstood. Even crocodile tears may be more genuine than we s pose. The crocodiles never failed come to the bank and listen rapt ously to every tune offered. The s phibian inhabitants of every pond crowded upon the banks and, head lifted, seemed to absorb the music with earnest satisfaction.* As a class the insects paid si attention, although the scorpions certain species of spiders manifested delight. The snake charmer is supposed to charm his victim through the agency of music. Indian magicians in the East sway from side to side and make ateintive music to the cobra. The recent experiment in the snake house of the London Zoo proved that snakes attention whatever to music. The music of the Indian magician, it would appear, is entirely for the benefit of his human audience. What charms the snake--if anything does to be the rhythmic motions of the charmer. Mosquitos like their own music. The male mosquito is much more susceptible to the "sing" than is the female.
