Origin Of Railway Whistles.

Locomotives 10 years ago had 10
whistles. The engineer kept by his
side a tin horn, which he blew before
curves and dangerous crossings. But
the noise was feeble.
In 1888 an English farmers cart was
run down on the way to market and
1000 eggs. 100 pounds of butter. two
horses and d man were dumped in one
great omelet on the rails.
The railway had to pay the damages.
The president sent for George Steven
son and said angrily:
"Our engineers can't blow their horns
loud enough to clear the tracks ahead.
You have made your steam do so much
why don't you make it blow a good,
loud horn for u.s."
Stevenson pondered. An idea came
&c Kim He visited a musical instru-
ment maker and had constructed u
horn that gave a horrible screech when
blown by steam.

Nerve wearing crush during the days

the shopping districts of New York
