Good roads cost money. If you don /

THE sILvANDo.
Queer WhistIing 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 at the little port of San Sebastian
and there find muleteer from the in
terror. With him he 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 of the rock, the muleteer
dismounts, sets his forefngers togeth-
er at a right angle and places them
In his mouth. An arrow of piercing
sounds shoots across the ravines and
up the stony terraces into the fast
uesses of the mountains. A moments
pause and there comes 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
fully echoed and transmitted by the
hills
Then comes the ghostly reply, and
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, I 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-
firmed by the arrival of the mule and
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, 60 to make this mar
velous means Of communication. No
record is to be found Of it's origin or
history, and it will be thousand
pites if scientific investigation is not

cdly it will be within the next two or
three ns."-Chicago News.

STRANGE COMPANIONS.
The "Happy Family" and a Kitten and
Hawk,

The "Happy Family" and Kitten and
Hawk.
The first public exhibition of chap.
py family" in England was given
about fifty years ago, when there were
shown monkey, 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
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 If she were one of their own
sort.
A lady walking in the Isle Of Wight
observed a little kitten curled up on
messy bank taking a midday nap
AS she stopped 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 fastened to
fsEerman's cottage and told the I'M
mates of the impending tragedy.
"It's always SC" 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 nursing 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. It was
brought down and restored to the cot
tage, but the hawk would not resign
his charge and was always at hand to
rescue the kitten from the caresses OF
