NOiseIesS Powder the Latest,

The success of smokeless powder in
modern warfare has been such as to
prompt man of an inventive turn of
mind to manufacture powder which
is said to be also noiseless. It is the
invention of a German workman who
studied chemistry of explosives in this
country. He has already given a pri-
vare exhibition of the practicability of
his discovery with considerable sue
cess. A shell loaded with his powder
was fred at target fifty yards away
and the only sound indicating the ex-
plosion was the falling of the plunger
of the shell. Bohnengal, which is the
name of the inventor, has not, it is
said, yet sold the secret of the process,
but is still in treaty with different
governments for it's purchase.

While the British housewife is be-
wailing the ever-increasing scarcity Of

the Queensland government agents in
the country are shipping young women

to which the demand for single women
in Queensland is being supplied from

be gathered from the fact that the

The case against Robert Russell, the
young white man arrested for bur-
glarizing the office of Frank Van Gle
sen, and attempting to rob safe con-
tanning some $1,600, was continued by
Recorder Myrick in Police Court yes
terday. Although the prisoner con-
fessed his guilt his confession could
not be used against him.
Russell admitted to Detective Wall
that he had used a brace and bits on
the safe, and told the officer how he
sneaked in the office, and concealed
himself under a mattress until he had
been locked in. The Recorder wanted
some corroborative testimony and the
officers asked for a continuance until
Monday when certain witnesses will be
introduced. The case is in the hands
of Detectives Stark and Wall and the
officers say that they will have wit
ness who saw Russell enter the place,
and another who saw him leave. The
detectives also believe that they will
find the person from whom Russell
purchased the brace and bits. They in
tend to prosecute the prisoner and
have no idea of permitting him to go

FUN WITH A PARROT.
Pulaski House Bird Entertained
Cutie a Crowd.

Free amusement was furnished
large crowd by the Pulaski House par
rot yesterday afternoon. The bird has
his usual perch on the guy wire that
runs from the arc light that swings
in front of the hotel. He is, as a rule,
content to linger near the second
story window, but sometime during
the forenoon he decided he would take
a walk. He did a tight wire stunt,
walking all the way across the street
until he had reached the pole and
rounded 1T. There he decided he would
remain, and no manner of coakings
would induce him to take a tumble.
His wings were cropped, and he could
not fly away, so there was no danger
of losing him, but his owner wanted
him back.
The force of porters and bell boys
began cudgeling their brains to find
out what they could do to dislodge the
bird. They didn't want to throw
stones at him, because one might have
cracked him on the head. 1t was finally
concluded that the best plan would be
to tie a stone to the end of rope and
throw that over the guy wire. After
many fruitless efforts, the stone went
over, and the rope was worked along
the wire until 1t reached the parrot
1t was comical to observe the bird.
AS the stone rose above the wire and
the rope fell over 1t, he seemed to
awake to a realization that a plot was
afoot and his undoing imminent. He
perked his head up, rubbered around
toward the rope and regarded II sus-
piciously. An expression of some alarm
showed about the bird as the rope was
warped toward him.
AS the rope was jerked beneath the
parrot it knocked his feet from under
him. He gave vent TO an indignant
squawk. fell off the wire, but caught
with his beak. Then the rope was jerk
ed under him again, and again he
squawked in a manner to express the
deepest indignation that he should be
so treated. Three or four times this
was done, the bird catching on his
beak every time he was knocked off. II
began to look as though he could keep
IL up longer than the man manipulate
ing the rope, but presently. OF his own
accord, he did the best flying he knew
how, landing on the ground in the
square, where he was at once bounced
upon and carried to the hotel.
