TELEPHONES IN LARGE CITIES


Detroit, the fourth city in the United
States in point of population, stands
seventh in the number of telephones
within its boundaries
Standing ahead of Detroit in num-
Der of telephones are New York, Chi
cago, Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angel
es and San Francisco, in the order
named, although only New York, Chi
cago and Philadelphia lead in popu-
lation.
That does not mean that Detroit
residents use the telephone any less
than do the people of other large
cites. In all of them the use of tele-
phone service is increasing rapidly.
The telephone development in New
York, Philadelphia and Chicago is so
much heavier than in Detroit because
their populations greatly surpass that
of Detroit.
The Boston telephone area, on the
other hand, includes practically all of
Boston's suburbs, or total popula-
tion, including that of the city, of l.
100000 compared with Detroit's esti-
mated 1,250OO0. Boston, too,e is city
of long established residents and is
without the great Industrial popula-
tion characteristic of that center of
o,,+0,oohiIo ,,oo0,,fo of,,ra
Western cities, practicularly those
visited annually by hundreds of thous-
ands of tourists, naturally have a
large telephone development because
of that transient population, which
does not, by the way, figure in the
census reports.

Beliefs Concerning Llohtnlno.

Continental Europe had, and has, its
superstitions regarding lightning. In
some parts it is believed that the bird
called cross-bill, kept in the house as
a pet, is sure preventive of destruc-
tion of the house by lightning or fire.
1t is said that this power is granted
to the bird because it used its pecu-
liarly shaped bill, with the two man
dibles curved and crossed over each
other, to extract the nails from the
wounds of Christ impaled on the cross
