THE WRESTLING LANGUAGE,
Strange Long-Dis.ance Speech of the
Shepherds of Teneriffe.

Shepherds OF Teneriffe.
Have you ever heard of the so.called
"whistling language"of Teneriffe? The
probabilities are that you never have.
Yet this curious method of speech-if
indeed one can so describe it-datea
from prehistoric times.
The shepherd folk of Teneriffe and
GOmera use the "whistling language, /"
and the first recorded notice of it wss
made by French traveller as far back
as 1855. Since then stray wanderers
have called the worlds attention, ri
long intervals, to the Language ="
Some years ago, while roaming, vita
staff and scrip, through ravines and
over the wild mountain ranges n
Tenerifie, it fell to the writer's lot t.
hear the shepherds thus conversing.
BY placing two or three fingers in thu
mouth it is possible to make the whis.
tie carry to distance of three miles.
or thereabouts. The lonely hills seem
silent and deserted, when suddenly
ont Of the far distance came long,
drawn and very shrill whistle--ths
summons to u conversation. In reply,
a similar call strikes piercingly on tho
ear from the opposite direction. The
whistlers are widely separated, but
have no intention of being lonely.
Perhaps they are having some difficult
ty with their hocks. Perhaps they
are merely resting while after tho
dinner of black bread and onions. At
any rate, if you listen, you will soon
hear them in the thick of an earnest
chat, a chat between friends three
miles or more separated.
Logeard. the well known French
savant, has conclusively proved that
the whistling is in Spanish. Easy
words are taken, and the sounds imi-
tated by the whistlers. Long prac.
tice and heredity have given the shep-
herds extraordinary skill in whistling
and understanding the Spanish. Their
vocabulary is quite long one, and, in
addition, they have u regular code of
graduated notes, which convey tele-
graphically what they cannot satisiac.
torily reproduce in the ordinary man.
ner.
The writer heard three parties Of
shepherds exchange their hopes and
fears regarding the weather by this
means. On another occasion he heard
an invitation to dance sent in the
"whistling language" across stretch
of country exceeding five and one
quarter kilometers. The young boys,
and even the girls, are adopts at the
language" and the very sheep
appear to understand whistled COM
mands at considerable distance. It
is no unusual thing to find two boys
or pair of the sturdy little mountain
lasses of Teneriffe, standing by the
parental cottages, and thus conversing
across wide ravine and rugged height,
without even catching glimpse Of
one another all the time. In fact, the
whistling language, dating as it does,
from before 1850, makes one wonder
whether the telephone is such a mod
ern marvel after all. Chicago Inter
