AN INVENTION THAT WILL DO AWAY WITH
PIPES AND CIGARs-wILL. IT WORK?
Professor Maulesel, German gentle
man who has recently arrived in this city,
has secured q suitable lot on South c.
street, and is about to erect extensive
works which viii prove of almost incalcu-
liable advantage to all lovers of the weed
and which will obyiate the necessity for
both pipes and cigars. The works he is
about to erect will bear in all respects Il
striking resemblance to the works Of the
Virginia City Gas Company. There VIII
be large retorts, in which tobacco will be
burned, and thc smoke thus produced will
pass through proper pipes to a large bell
shaped receptacle of boiler iron, somewhat
resembling a gaSOmeter, where it will be
cooled and purified and so scented that it
shall have the flavor of the finest Havana
cigar To this product of his retorts and
purifying apparatus the rrofes sor has given
the name of ''Tabaksiue,' but for conve-
nience we will cali it by 4 less scientific
name, that of smoke, which, after all, it is.
From the smokeOmeter main pipe will
lead up into the city, and from this viii be
small branch pipes leading to all the prin-
cipal houses and saloons in the town. Ia
every house where the smoke is taken there
will be placed a meter, similar to n gas
meter but much more delicately construct
ed. Running from these meters will be
pipes leading to all the rooms in the house,
and connected with these pipes, at eonye-
nent points, viii be long flexible tubes,
each tipped with handsome amber mouth
piece for the comfort and convenience Of
smokers.
When man desires to take smoke. lie
has not to so to The trouble of hunting
up tobacco and filing his pipe, then of
| finding and lighting a match, md perhaps
burning his fingers, and afterward getting
fire and ashes upon his clothes half-a-dozen
| times before his smoke is ended. There is
/ none Of this trouble and vexatiOn. He
has only TO place the amber mouth piece
/ between his lips, turn small silver thumb
screw, and the COOL delicious perfumed
smoke glides into mis- mouth. BY this in
geniouS and delightful arrangement all
/ danger of fires from pipes and cigars will
/ be obvated, and millions in valuable prop
+ erty annually saved.
! The rates of insurance of those who have
neither pipes nor cigars in use upon their
/ premises will be greatly reduced, and in
/ this one item the Professor calculates that
J the cost OF introducing the smoke into an
ordinary family residence Will be saved
/ each year. BY the new plan a man may
lie in his bed and smoke with perfect i'm
punity and the greatest imaginable COM
fort. In the saloons there will be row of
comfortable .ofas along one side of the
niently down from pipe concealed in the
wall, where man may seat himself and
by attaching his private mOUth-pieCe, may
have a delicious smoke at according to the
calculations of Professor MauleseD less
than balf the cost of the commOuest cigars,
such as are known as the -'bUll-teamster
regalia' and ''Mongolian SCinkers.'
But son,e may ask, ''how is a smoker Of
the inveteTate class 10 have his smoke
when walking the streets or travelling J?
this has also been thought Of and provided
for by the Professor. Nothing Is easier,
and at the same time the arrangement for
smoking while walking the streets is not
only most convenient, bat is such as adds
greatly 10 the personal appearance Of the
man using the little apparatus. 1t is well
known that most men are rather tiat-che est
ed, and, taking a hint from this, the Pro
fessor has invented an lndia-rubbCr reCep-
tace fitting to the shape, which, when
( inflated with smoke, gives the wearer 4
breast like tha; of 4 member OF the Nation
al Guard. TO initiate this before starting
out for a walk Is but the work of a mo,
ment. Connected with it IS a handsomely
braided, flexible stem, ending in neat
} amber mouth-piece, which is tucked into
the vest pocket. When not in use this
stem, in nine cases out of ten, would be
mistaken for handsome watchguard, as
it is generally ornamentcd with a locket,
! or two or three elegant charms. In case
the reservoir should at any time become
exhausted while the smoker is out walking,
1t is very easy to step into the nearest sa-
loon and have it Tesilled.
As the smoke comes from the works
freed from nicotine, auG all other delete
rious elements, and is most delicately and
delightfully."- pei fumed, it is expected that
it will at once become exceedingly popular
among the ladies. Instead of their use OF
it being offensive, it will prove quite the
contrary, as by means of it they viii shed
abroad wherever they may go a fine aroma.
They will have for their use elegantly
carved amber mouth-p pieces, hooPed about
with gold and set with diamonds and Other
gems. " hen out walking their reservoir
of smoke viii be contained in the pannier,
to which it will impaTt a much more sym
metrical shape than can be attained by the
use of newspapers besides, by giving the
rubber of the smoke tank a suitable thick
ness and strength it will he found to be
, very convenient when the wcarer desires
to SIT, as it Will serve rs cENIlon, some
thing which IS often a great convenience
and comfort. Due notice in regard to
terms per month, quarter, and year viii be
rfyen in few DAYS. Men are now en-
gagged in grading the lot on which the
works will be erected, and the necessary
machinery is on the way from New \ orb
and viii soon be on the ground. - Virginia
