Whistles to Replace Bella.

New York.—The clang of the bells ob fire apparatus soon will be missing among the street noises of New York. Fire Commissioner Johnson announced the other day that the bells gradually would be replaced by whistles. '** it has been found that the shriek of the automobile horn carries its warning for many blocks, while the fire bell usually can be heard In a noisy section of the city during the day only for a city block.
