NEW YEAR REVELS IN
LARGE CITIES PASSING
New Custom Is to Remain at Home
and Exchange Greetings Over
Telephone.

Old fashioned ways OF celebrating

exchanging greetings of good will are
making room for new and modern
CUSTOM Happy New Year via tele-
phone.

the infant. 1914, was greeted by the
merry jingle of the telephone bell
Thousands of miles of telephone wire

man there discovered the custom in a
novel way. lie read 1t on Il meter.
There Is in each telephone ex-
change meter, called the "ammeter, "
by means of which the amount of
electricity used In transmitting all
the messages through the switch
boards in that exchange at any single
instant can be determined in terms
Of "amperes.' If fifty conversations
were in progress and the ammeter
needle registered 45 amperes, an ad.
vance of 90 amperes would indicate
the number of conversations at that
'noment had increased.
Meter Shows Many Calls.
In one of the populous districts of
Chicago the telephone man watched
his ammeter closely for fifteen min.
utes OF the old year and ten minutes
of the New Year. At 1875 it regis
tered only IS amperes. For ten min.

At l2:0l the needle continued up

the news that he had discovered the hid

was he to make a good haul that he
ordered out a company and took com

dark to make a march Of eight miles
over a mountain road. We were to sur
prise the guerrillas as they slept. and
the order was to give no quarter. 1t was
II o'clock before we reached the vicinity
of the cave and then six OF us, accom-
panied by the Major, went forward on a

to a plateau a hundred feet above the
creek. and there we halted while the
Major went forward a few PAGES alone.

beyond him, and there was silence OF
death upon the spot. when We caught
sight of a white figure on the far side of
the open space. Almost as We get our

into the form of a woman. 1 can't say
that she was old or young. The form was
clear enough but the face was not. 1t

That form made straight for the Major.
He did not start back in alarm, nor did
we hear a word from his lips. The figure
might have been thirty seconds advanc-

vance. but there was no hesitatins. AS
we held our breath and started with
wide open eyes. the figure reached the

backed towards IL unmindful Of the

too late. Uf a sudden we saw him throw
up his arms and disappear. but he dio

on the brink of the cliff for quarter Of

could say whittier It had gone. Down
there in the bed Of the creek with every
bone broken we found the Major. All
next day we hunted over the mountain,
but found no cave-no guerrillas-no liv-

out Of the shadows of night and driven
the Major to his death. II had returned
to the shadows. That was all. Over and
