Saint-Saëns' 'The Carnival of Animals', scored for two pianos, two violins, viola, 'cello, bass, flute, clarinet, harmonica, and xylophone, consists of fourteen short numbers. The music as a whole is full of charm, wit, and fancy. Several numbers are delightfully satirical, such as No. 4, which is based on two themes from Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld (the first from the final ballet and the second from Act I) ; No. 5, which is a humorous distortion for double-bass and piano of Berlioz's ' Danse des Sylphes ' and Mendelssohn's ' Song of a Summer Night'; No. 11, which imitates an awkward beginner playing five-finger exercises and scales in various keys (we have all suffered from this disturbing animal ! ) ; and No. 12, which is a queer mixture of two well-known popular French airs, Saint-Saens' own ' Danse macabre ' and an air from Rossini's Barber of Seville. No. 14 is a very jolly and brilliant affair in which several of the animals are introduced to each other with harmonious effect.

I—' What Animals Eat'
JULIAN S. HUXLEY
Here is the first of five talks on possibly the best known place in London. We're taken there when we're young and we return when we're grown up, and always find something of interest-the elephant who flaps his ears 'for a bun, squirrels that like milk chocolate, penguins walking unsteadily down their slipways to the water, Boo-Boo and Jubilee.
Today Professor Julian Huxley , the famous scientist and broadcaster, is to tell listeners what animals eat-its infinite variety and, collectively, its unimaginable bulk. Professor Huxley last broadcast in 1935 in ' Plans for Tomorrow' when he talked of the Tennessee Valley Authority. That was in November, and in April of last year he described filming plants and animals. Listeners will remember his Scientific Survey of 1933 and his discussion a year later in 'Industrial Britain * with Professor John Hilton and Professor Scott-Watson, all three well-known broadcasters.
