The aborigines of the Malabar Islands
employ a perfect whistling language. by
means of which they can communicate with
each other over long distances. A stranger
wandering over the islands is frequently
surprised to hear from a hilltop the sound
OF loud whistling, which is quickly re-
peated on the next hill, and so is carried
from summit to summit, until it dies away
in the distance. But perhaps the most
curious means of communication In the
world is the drum language Of a Congo
tribe. These queer people can talk to each
other with large drums made of bamboo
hoops, over which the skin Of some animal
is stretched. The drum. however. is used
only on important occasions.
