OF the IS3 prisoners In the Atlanta

NOISY WELCOME
Delirium and Racket Mark Advent Of
lslQ--0ay Threngs Fill Cafes;
Churches Hold Watch Services.

The year 1910 had a noisy and
tumultuous welcome. Never has De-
troit exhibited such delirium and
racket over the wearing out OF one
calendar and the opening OF another.
Not that all the celebration OF the
turning of the year was shown In
revelry; while the roisterers enjoyed
themselves to their fill, more sober
folk thronged the churches for watch
night services and greeted the coming
twelvemouth with prayer and serious
resolve.
Color and light and loudly expressed
Joy were the prevailing things in the
hotels, cafes and restaurants, Tables
had been reserved weeks before at all
the downtown hotels and cafes and
as much extra seating capacity as
possible was added for the occasion.
At the first stroke OF the midnight
peal from the bells Of the city, lights
went out, orchestras swung into the
first bars OF patriotic airs and then
the lights flashed back again anu
greeting were exchanged promiscuous-
~. Wines, purchased before the stroke
of twelve, OF course, sparkled In up

twelve months to come.

tons by acquiring loads OF liquid JOY
prior to the death OF the year, and
these were discordantly vocal. But
when the crowds emerged from the
theaters, all OF which played to full
capacity, there was rush for the
cafes and hotels, and those who could
not secure accommodations there, per.
force shouted and toasted their wei
come TO "Nineteen-Ten' from the side
walks. Horns were much in evidence
and also confetti.
In Harmonic Hall, there was the
annual ball, and the midnight hour
found the lights out and everyone
scrambling In the dark for the New
Years kiss.
In the Light Guard armory, the
Strollers were having a dance. Some
fstic trouble started and seven po-
Iicemen were called to restore order.
Generally, the police succeed in
c,amping down the lid at midnight.

May Contracts Touch 1870 Late in

New York, January 14-The big
bull campaign in cotton definitely col
lapsed to-day, with the most spec
tacular perpendicular decline seen in
week of erratic recessions. Reports
had it that the position Of the lead
ing Southern bull has been complete
" undermined by the continued il
quidation, which has been in pro-
gress since early in the year. AT
the low point to-day New York con-
tracts showed a decline Of from $500
to $3.50 a bale from the closing
prices of tie night previous, which
was a. break of from $6.1O to $3.50
a bale from the high figures Of the
day, and of $13.35 to $14.25 bale
from the high point Of the season:
May contracts touched 1870 late in

Road Improvement in Pennsylvania

"In the awakening Of public SEN
timent in the cause Of good roads
which has been witnessed during the
last few years Pennsylvania found
itself confronted by a problem Of no
small degree, with its nearly 100000
miles Of public highways, but a very
small percentage Of which could by
any stretch Of imagination be con-
strued as improved" says R. D.
Beman, Deputy State Highway Com
missioner Of Pennsylvania, in the
February number Of Popular Me-
chanics. In an interesting article, he
explains how the question has been
handled and road conditions through
out the state improved. The article
is well illustrated.

Popular Mechanics for February.


If, during the past year, the world
had progressed in every phase in the
same degree that it did scientifically
and mechanically, it would be differ
ent to convince the masses that the
millennium was not at hand. Some
who have kept closely in; touch with
this development may be inclined to
think that it is only the careful rec
ord embodied in the pages Of Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine that make
it seem so remarkable, but sum-
mary of the actual achievements
during 1909, appearing in the Feb
ruary number, efectually removes
This doubt. Moreover, the February
lumber, which contains 269 articles
and $50 illustrations, constitutes a
gratifying fore-taste Of what the
present year may have in store.
Many Of these articles describe new
inventions and discoveries; others
INSTRUCT by comparison and still
others present familiar things in
new lights calculated to arouse inter-
est and engender thought. Every ar
ticle is written So you can under
stand lit and is stimulating in tone;
every illustration is unusual, and
many are reproductions Of photo
graphs secured under peculiar
dangerous-eonditions and impossi3
bic to duplicate from any other
source. Many editors of the
ent day employ an involved style
often more gratifying to themselves
than to their readers, but H. Il.
Windsor in his editorials treats the
weightiest subject iacidly. In the
February number he discusses the
manufacture Of "shoddy," the man
ufacture Of aeroplanes, Weather Bu-
reau service, development Of the
moving picture and the conservation
of the water supply.
Other features Of the February
.aumber are illustrated articles on
Chicago's New Subway Project, Sue
cess of the Monorail, Writing by
Wireless, Sentry Boxes Of European
Armies, The Best Ventilated House
in the World and Road Improvement
in Pennsylvania. J. Gordon Ogden,
Ph: D., professor Of Physics at the
Fifth Ave. High School, Pittsburgh,
contributes an interesting and in
structive article on Heat, treating Of
its mature and how it is measured.
This is the first Of a series Of arti-
,cles by this writer, each complete in
itself, including Liquid Air, Steam,
Boilers. Ice, Radiation, etc., discuss
ed from the standpoint of their rela-
ton to modern mechanics.
The Shop Notes department for
February contains 42 articles and 40
illustrations. Amateur mechanics
will find a great deal Of interest in
their special department, among the
subjects being Imitation Arms and
Armor. Homemade Daniel Cell.
Homemade Equatorial. Game Play
ed on the Tee, Playing Baseball with
a Pocket Knife, and others.
