used in different countries varies con-

The composition of English powder

sulphur, 100.
Fol making the brown or coco-pow-

the following recipe is used: Salt

In making THIS powder the charcoal
is not burnt black, but roasted until
brown and Is made from some variety
of straw and not of wood.
Smokeless and ven noiseless pow
ders seem to have been sought for
during the whole sunpowder period.
In 1856 one was experimental with
in France. but was abandoned. Mod
ern smokeless powders are certainly
less noisy than black powders, mainly
because of the absence of metallic
salts which while gaseous In the gun

into contact with the air.

Po.ty Quits Ring

In an interview with us last night
Kid Potty, who has made such a
favorable impression with local ngnt
fans. informed us that he was
through with the fighting game in
Perth Amboy. 1t seems that Potty,
who has made himself quite a favor

tracted q large following, had a run
In with the promoter of the Lotos
club over the compensation for a
nights bout. According to the Kid
he was offered as much money Tor
fighting an eight-round final pout as
he had been receiving for fighting sig
round semf-final tussles. Potty in the
argument, in which his manager,
Howard Richards, participated cut
loose from his and declares
he will never fight in the local ring
again. q
Potty's followers will miss him
badly as he was a fighter that they
could depend on. When Potty was
booked for a fight the fans knew for
a certainty that there would be a
fight. There was no stalling with the
Kid and il was his desire to please
the fans and his earnestness in the
ring hat won him the popularity
that he now Justly claims. Potty de-
clares that he will fight out of town
hereafter and that as far as ne Is

In his and other of his writings
Bacon makes no mention of guns or
the uce of powder as a propetiunt, but
merely as an explosive and destruc-

The first mention OF gunpowder as a
~propellant is in a document now in
