BIRTH Of the
NEW YEAR
People Of New Zealand First
to Give Il Greeting

TIME birth OF the new year as
We are well aware, ID vaSiously
u celebrated, but how many
people know Of the manner 10 when
the mOrnentous date Is setf Do you
realize that the new year is really
hours old before the great bulk OF the
civilized world lie able to celebrate its
ARRIVAL
Priority In rejoicing over the event
IS actually given to the untutoreo IN
habItants Of the islands OF the South
Pacific. The first of the civilized world
TO greet 1921 was the people Of the far
away New Zealand. Sweeping west
ward. the change Of date crossed Asa
and then the old world Of Europe and
Africa before starting over the Allan
rio TO America. Onward 1t sped at the
rate of a thousand miles an hour until
the first day Of the new year died away
in the middle Of the Pacific.
In the United States the idea OF an
nouncing broadcast over the land the
birth OF the new year originated with
the officers IN charge Of the naval OBJ
ssryatory In Washington About 10
wears ago It was suggested that the
telegraph companies dispatch at MID
night from Washington q series Of sig.
mails proclaiming the exact moment OF
the new years beginning. The iosa
wigs taken up and signals were sent
out at midnight and at one. two ana
three o'clock 10 the morning follow
ing In order that each great time d.
vision of the United States should re
ceiye its own appropriate midnight
signals from the capital
The practice has now become liked
The signals used are akin to those sent
out each midday These begin I'VE

BEGINNING A NEW YEAR.

Though we are apt to think that
New Years has been observed since
the year one, such Is not the case.
In fact. there is no mention OF the
day as a Christian festival until the
fifth century, and even now the He
brews celebrate their New Years 10
September, for their calendar is ar
ranged according to the new moon,
which makes New Years movable
holiday. Today, however, there Is
scarcely q nation but observes this
season of the year In some manner
or other though customs differ In
most localities.

QUEER NEW YEARS CUSTOMS.

Volumes might be written upon the
queer customs and curious superstL
tons connected with New Years day.
Literature is full Of them, grave his
torians have preserved them for us,
and versatile poets decked them with
fairest flowers of fancy. From Chau.
Ger. Sweet Spring Of English Song,
from Spencer and Herrick, Milton and
Shakespeare, down to the humblesi
magazine rhymes Of today-one and
all--they have paid tribute. A wise
essayist describes the day az "A
peak on Darien. from which two
oceans may be seen. Into one We
look with sadness and regret, into the
other, with hope and faith"
