GREAT WHISTLE EXPENSIVE
1t Costs One Dollar Each Time it
Blows and Can Be Heard
for Ten Miles
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. S.-East st. Louis
now has the biggest steam whistle in
the world. 1t is a remarkable triple
machine with three voices-a three
chime whistler whose capacity for the
annihilation of peace is extraordinary.
This whistle blows ten-mile blast at
half-steam, and with favorable wind
has disturbing power of twenty miles.
1t costs dollar every time it is blown.
This great whistle is not all noise.
1t Is an idea in economy, a whistle
trust, a noise combine. Almost all the
little noises yelps, toots and whines of
smaller mechanical throats in East st.
Louis are now dumb. The giant whistle
ttrust whistles for them. The independ-
ent whistles have to whistle off time to
be heard.
Within the range of this whistle are
said to be 10000 people who tell time
by it.
This remarkable whistle has been in
stalled by the East st. Louis and Sub
urban Electric Railway company, at the
Belt power house, State and Twentieth
streets, where the company's machine
shops and car barns are located. Z
The greatest modern siren comprises
three whistles. The largest is almost
six feet in height and nearly as big
around as man. On each side of the
main one is a smaller whistle. The
three units combine to make one noise.
with which even Babanne, miles away,
across the Mississippi river, in the west
end of st. Louis, is well acquainted.
This big triple whistler was also set
up at the railway company's electrical
generating station "as a feature" 1t is
connected with an electric clock, which
is regulated by the government stand
ard time sent out from Washington on
the dropping Of a ball at exactly noon
each day.
The electric clock which connects with
the whistle is guaranteed not to vary
five seconds in time year, and the
clocks record to date is satisfactory.
Almost every man looks at his watch
when the first blast is sounded by the
big whistle at o'clock in the morning.
Almost every housewife in East ST.
Louis glances at her mantel timepiece
when the siren woos noon-the second
blast of the day. The third blast is an
hour later. and the last is at 6 in the
| evening.
