40 square miles of surface dotted

landscapes uncqualed upon any other

for the park the appellation of the Won

it is this hot water treatment which
the region has undergone that has de-
vclopcd most of the objects of interest
and made the park famous the world
over. Even the lake owes much of its

THE SEVEN WAISTLERS.
An Ancient Superstition That Still
Exists In England

|
In some parts of England peculiar
whistlinS or yelping noises are heard
| in the air after dusk and early III the
morning before daylight during the
| winter months. Sometimes, however,
the noise is described Us beautiful
sounds Ike music, high up in the air,
which gradually die away. The gen
cral belief is that the seven wills
tiers" as they are called, are the fore
tellcrs of bad mck. disaster or death
| to some one in the locality. 1t is Il
! very ancient suggestion. Both Swifts
| and plovers have been suggested as
| the "whistlers." 1t may he noted that
| plovcrs are additionally supposed to
contain the souls OF those who assisted
ut the crucifixiom ami in consequence
| We're doomed to float in the air for
ever. Really. the "whiStlcrS" are wild
| geon. or teal. as they Hit from their
| feeding grounds, Il passage always
| made under cover OF darkness. III
! Shropshire the sound is described as re-
senbling that of many larks singing,
| and the folklore of both Shropshire
| and Worcestershire says. They are
| seven birds, and the six fly about con-
tinually together looking for the sew
enth, and when they find him the world
will come to an end"
Everywhere. without exception, the
''Seven whiStIers" IRE believed to pre-
sage i'll, but the superstition seems to
be more particularly Il miners notion.
IL they hear the warning voice of the
seven whistirrs.' birds sent, as they
say, by Providence to warn them of an
impending danger, not Il man will de-
scend into the pit until the following
day. For example, in September. 1871,
the following paragraph went the
round of the papers: ION Monday
morning large numbers of the miners
employed ut the BcdwOrth collierieS.
in North WarwickShirc, giving way to
superstition which has long prevailed
among their class, refused TO descend
into the pits in which they are employ
ed During Sunday night it was stated
that the seven whiStlCrS had been
distinctly heard in the neiGhborhood Of
Bedworth, and the result WIS that on
the following morning many of the
men positively refused to descend into
the pits"
Morfa colliery, IN South Wales, is
notorious for its uncanny traditions.
The seven whistlerS" were heard
there before Il great explosion in tie
sixties and before another in 1890.
when nearly q hundred miners were
entombed. In December 1875. it was
said that they had been heard yet
again, whereupon the men struck work
and could not be induced to resume it
until the government inspector had
made Il close examination of the work
ings and reported all safe. In July,
1902, another instance CT Il collicry
strike. founded upon the same super
stition, occurred in England.
