Concourse of Sweet
Sounds as Pigeons Fly
.1
Long before the radio was dreamed
of the Chinese had "music on the
air," according to Dr. Berthold
Laufer, curator of anthropology at
Field Museum of Natural History,
Chicago. This they accomplished by
means of small reed Instruments re
sembling pipes of Pan, which they
attached to the tall feathers of
pigeons. Whole flocks of pigeons are
thus equipped, each bird with whis
tles producing different notes, and an
the birds fly the wind strikes the
apertures of the Instruments, setting
them to vibrating and creating a
pleasant open-air concert.
The Chinese explanation of the
•practice is that the sounds of the
whistles are Intended to keep the
flocks together and to protect the
birds from the onslaughts of hawks
and other birds of prey. This ra
tionalistic interpretation, however, Is
not convincing. It Is doubtful wheth
er such music makes any Impression
on either pigeon or hawk, ancf since
this music constantly Alls the at
mosphere year after year the unre
lenting foes of the pigeon would
gradually become accustomed to it
and disregard it even If it hard kept
them away at first. It seems more
plausible that this quaint custom has
no rational origin, but that It rather
Is the outcome of purely emotional
and artistic tendencies. It Is not the
pigeon that profits from this aerial
music, but the human ear. On a se
rene day one can hear this concert
in Peking all day, even In one's
house.

"Yes," answered Farmer Corntos
