THE SILVAND0.
Queer Whistling Language Of the Ca
nary Island Natives.


In Gomera, one of the smallest of
the Canary islands, the silvando, or
whistling language, survives. A cor
respondent writes: "a traveller must
land Mt the little port of San Sebastian
and there find muleteer from the in
terror With him ne must ride up the
steep bride paths that wind through
the mountains. When no longer any
living thing is within sight and the
wilderness is only broken by the Grim
son flower Of the cactus growing In
the clefts &c the rock, the muleteer
dismounts, sets his forefngers togeth-
er at a right ungle and places them
in his mouth. An arrow of piercing
sounds shoots across the ravines and
up the stony terraces into the fast
nesses of the mountains. A moments
pause and there comes a thin, Almost
uncanny, answering whistle from far
away. Conversation begins and, as
the sounds rise and fall. are stacca-
toed or drawn out, so they are faith

then question and answer follow with
out hesitation or misunderstanding.
Perhaps the stranger will ask, What
are you doing thereY Answer: There
is a traveller with me. One of our
mules is lame. Can you bring us
fresh one| Yes, can. Do you
want anything else| You might bring
some milk along If you have any,
and so on. That the conversation is
correctly interpreted is presently con-
lirmed by the arrival of the mule aud
the milk, and the distance that sepa-
rated the parties to the dialogue turns
out to be about three miles.
Long notes and short notes, rising
and falling tones, go to make this mar
velOus means of communication. No
record is TO be found of its origin or
history, ana it will be thousand
pities If scientific investigation is not
made before the silvando is added to

edly 1t will be within the next two or

Hawk.
The first public exhibition of a "hap
ny family" in England was given
about fifty years ago, when there were
shown monkey, u cat, several rats
and three or four pigeons in one cage
The monkey was on excellent terms
with the cat SO long as puss would
allow him TO warm himself by cud-
ding her; otherwise he would show
his veXation by slyly giving her tail
a nip with his teeth.
The birds perched on the cats back
and pecked at her fur, and the rats
were as friendly with their natural
enemy as IL she were one of their own
sort.
y lady w1lking in the Isle of Wight
observed n little kitten curled up on
q messy bank taking a midday nap
AS she ste, ,,ped to stroke it hawk
swooped down and, bouncing upon the
kitten, hid It from sight.
The lady, fearing for the life of the
kitten, tried TO rescue it, but the hawk
firmly faced her, stood at bay and re-
fused TO move. She hastened TO a
fisherman's cottage and told the in
mates of the impending tragedy.
IT'S always So" they said laughing
THAT hawk always comes down if
any one goes near the kitten. He has
taken to it and stays near at hand
to watch whenever it goes TO sleep"
The lady, greatly Interested, made
further inquiry and learned that the
Kittens mother had died, after which
the nurSling was missed for several
days. One day the hawk was seen
about the cottage picking up scraps Of
meat and carrying them to the roof of
the cottage.
The fisherman climbed up and found
the lost kitten nestled in a hole in the
thatch and thriving under the care of
its strange foster father. 1t was
