The Railway Whistle.

Massachusetts is leading the way in
bringing about a most beneiiceDt re-
form-the abatement of the nuisance
of locomotive whistling. For many
years the railroad commissioners have
urged upon the companies the feast
bility and desireabil;ty of restricting
the use of the whistle. They held that
by frightening horses it probably
caused as many accidents as II saved,
not TO speak of the deaths resulting
from loss of sleep in cases of illness
where the invaiid's house is near the
track. and further argued that the
value of the warning as a distinct sig
nal of danger is greatly diminished by
its indiscrIminate use. A dozen years
ago the managers of the Boston and
ALBANY railroad. one of the most I'M
portant in the state, were converted
to this view, and discontinued the use
of the whistle except as a danger sig
nal. Experience has shown no in
crease in the number of accidents,
while the comfort of jewellers along
the lire has been greatly promoted.
The success of this experiment led to
the passage by the last legislature of
"a law to restrict the use of the whistle
at street crossings. A petition by
citizens of Lawrence for the applica-
tion of this law in their city was re-
Gently heard by the commissioners,
and they have just exercised their dis
cretionary power by giving orders &c

crossings IN thickly-settled quarters.
The commissioners at the same time
recommended the companies 10 dis

nal for switches, and As a means OF
communication from one employe lG

tice is needless and an ineXcuSable
annoyance to the public. The import
ance of this movement, not only as Il
means OF comfort, but As a. sanitary
measure, cannot easily be exaggerated
