An Architect Who Whistles Out Plans
for Big Railroad bridges.

An Architect Who Whistles Out Plans
for Big Railroad bridges.
Did you ever year A. u. French whis-
tie out bridge for the Illinois Central
Railroad? He has been the superin-
tendent of bridges for thirty years. He
has grown with the system. He is the
bridge architect and supervises the con-
struction of all the roads stream span
ners. His headquarters are at Tw enty
second Street station, says the Chi
cago Tribune.
When the road needs new bridge
French strolls into quiet German beer
saloon where there are tables and
chairs and chance to rest ones legs.
He never goes into one of these saloons
where there's popcorn and cheesecube
lunches, no tables, chairs, not even a
bar foot-rail, nothing but the bar, whis-
ky, politics and mad rush to consume
the drinks.
Once seated he gets a glass of beer
and some pretzels. They are placed on
the table beside him, more as an as
surance that he has them than that he
will use them, for he merely sips the
beer and gnaws the pretzel.
Then he whistles out the bridge.
He pulls his slouch hat over the eyes,
begins drumming pensively with his
tingertips on the table, and commences
whistling in low key. Billiard balls
may be clinking about him, poker chips
may rattle in his ear, and the loud,
laughable lugubrious din of the saloon
brawlers roll around him, but the
noises are in vain. He never let's mp
on that low whistle.
There he will sit, and whistle, and
think, sip beer, gnaw pretzels for from
one to four hours. After this he will
rise, 90 to his office or to a room at
some hotel, lock himself in, and draw
the plan of the bridge, transfer the
Whistled structure to paper. Then the
work is done. He seldom changes the
plan from the whistled one.
The tunes ne whistles vary with the
bridges. The great bridge at Cairo, one
Of the most magnificent teats of modern
mechanical engineering, he whistled
out sitting in Steve Tart's saloon, at
Kankakee, while Aid. Enrich, Gouger,
Mellansor and Laparle were making
scrambled air at the next table over d
game of poker. He used 'The Arkan-
saw Traveller" in whistling out that
bridge, and as each bar OF that familiar
melody rose from his puckered lips no
went another span of the great struc-
ture, until the bridge stood entire be-
fore him; and then he hurried over to
the Illinois Central freight office and
transferred it to paper.
Mr.. French's peculiar method OF
whistling out bridges is known to all
veteran officials and employees on the
road. The boys say "the bigger the
bridge the faster the tune required
to whistle it out" He whistled
out the bridge at Kankakee, Just
above the dam, with a grim
suggestiveness, to the tune of Nearer
My God, to Thee" The long scraggly
bridge above the bavous near New
Orleans he whistled out on:
