of love as a partial cause, extends it to include all other excitements 

 to which animal feelings are susceptible. 



The infantile cry, which it is said was the origin of music, has been 

 reduced to writing and ]>]accd in the form of notes on the staff.

IIILD CRYINC; 



Rossini, in his opera of " Semiraniide," introduced into one of the 

 choruses with great effect the cries and squeals of a party of chihlren. 



As the human cry grew it changed to represent passion, and possi- 

 bly by ouomatopes it became articulate and so grew into language. 

 With this came modulations of the voice, and Didero, with the others, 

 says the cry of an animal in passion was the fundamental princijde 

 of music. Some animals, especially birds, have the power of music 

 without language, but it is claimed tliat they can express by their 

 music the same sentiments of passion as does man. It has, therefore, 

 been declared that music does not belong exclusively to man, and it is 

 certain that it exists among animals independent of articulate lan- 

 guage. An observing student of nature, Mr. A. T. Canulen Pratt,^ has 

 reduced some of the cries of our domestic animals to form, and has 

 written them out in music.
