Carlisle, Pa, Nov. rs. - That en-
tire tribes of Indians converse in
whistled language in old Mexico is
authenticated by the statement of Har-
old 7. Mapes, expert mining engineer,
who was in Mexico for IL years, but
now at his home in Carlisle.
Mapes AYERS that the Mexican In
dians have a whistling vernacular in
which they can carry on a conversa-
tion as fluently as in words. Coming
traditionally from .ae Toltecs 1t is
universally understood by the natives
to-day. Not only are words whistled,
but sentences as well. The Spanish
language is musically adapted to it's
use, and the natives employ it upon
occasions, as carrying farther than
spoken words, especially around noisy
machinery.

Indian SWANS converse with their
sweethearts ever through closed and
barred windows in this way and the
laborer talks with his fellows at his
side and asks for tools. They use il
also as means by which to COM
municate words of anger or signal the
approach of the overseer.
It's origin is unknown according to
Engineer Mapes' information as the
Aztecs used it to battle the Spanish in
vaders and may have worked it out
under torture. He found it nowhere
else in his travels through Central or
South America to the Cape. 1t is not
series of signs or calls signifyIng
danger, love, fear, peace, war and the
like, as it is universally understood by
all tribes of Indians from Alaska to
Patagonia, but is a perfect whistling
language.

Hopes for Same Result in Future.
IT can only hope that in the future

been anxious to rush hastily and speed

that, although desirable, cannot be done
too rapidly, but with an intelligent and
comprehensive knowledge of the needs
of the District of Columbia and the ne
cessities of its government he has so
framed the appropriation bills as to
give satisfaction to all concerned.
Il regret exceedingly that he deter

been a loyal supporter in many difficult

troublesome matters; he has been a con-
