A whistle la only a whistle, but even
* whistle Is susceptible to Improve­
ment. I-ocomotlve whistles In particu­
la r are open to criticism, according to
Prof. A rthur L. Foley of Indiana uni­
versity, says the New York World.
Professor Foley is head of the physics
department and also of the W a lm u iu
Institute for Scientific Research at the
university.
Professor Foley’s objection to the
present type of locomotive whistle Is
twofold. It criticizes both the tone and
the position. Ills suggestion for im­
provements are based on discoveries
made during a series of researches
Into sound Intensity und cost of opera­
tion of many types of whistle. The
article contlunes as follows:
The popular “chime” whistle, with
its comparatively low-pitched notes, he
maintains. Is only about one-sixth ns
effective a warning us would he a high-
pitched single note.
As for the position, Professor Foley
contends that It's all wrong. The or­
dinary whistle has In front of it the
smokestack, bell, steam dome uud
electric generator, not to speak of a
blanket of hot gases.
The result Is that its sound Is broad­
cast to the sides of the track Instead
of directly ahead where It Is desired.
!
By altering the position and changing
the note muny lives could be saved.
Another factor against the chime
type of whistle Is Its cost. According
to Professor Foley’s calculations It
takes 2,434,026 tons of coal per yenr
to utter the toots of the nation's en­
gines.
T lie adoption of « shrill, single-lone
whistle would effect, according to tils
figures, an annual saving In railroad
coal bills of approximately »3.000,000.

The muu'« inotlwr bud given the
man's wife a love letter which she
found bidden away In a mass of old
papers. It had been written to the
man when,he was a boy and the writer
was bis sweetheart, fifteen years old.
The man's mother laughed when she
handed It to the man'» wife, and the
man's w ife laughed when she bunded
It to tho man.
But the tnan did not laugh.
“Alia," said Ute wife In her merry
way, "see how the past rises up
against you."
The man took the letter and slowly
unfolded It and softly read it aloud:
"Dearest boy," he read. “I'm afraid
you are ntad at me because I walked
with Johonle Nicholson yesterday to
school, hut It wasn't uiy fault at all.
