Professor Maulesel, q German gentle
man who has recently arrived in this
city, has secured suitable lot on South
G Street, and is about to erect extensiveA
works which will prove Of almost incal-
culable advantage to all lovers of the
"weed," and which will obyiate the me-.
cessity for both pipes and cigars. The
works he is about to erect will bear in
all respects a striking resemblance to
the works of the Virginia City Gas Com
pany. There will be large retorts, In
which tobacco will be burned, and the
smoke thus produced will pass through
proper pipes TO large bell-shaped re.
ceptacle Of boiler iron, somewhat resem-
bling gasometer, where 1t will be
cooled and purified and so scented that
it shall have the flavor of the finest .Ha-
vana cigar. To this product Of his re-
torts and purifying apparatus the pro
fessor has given the name of "Tabak-
sine," but for convenience we call it by
a less scientific name, that of smoke,
which, after all, it is.
From the smokeometcr, main pipe
will lead up into the city, and from this
will be small branch pipes leading to !.
all the principal houses and saloons in
the town. In every house where the
smoke is taken there will be placed a
meter, similar to a gas meter, but much
more delicately constructed. Running
from these meters will be pipes leading
to all the rooms in the house, and con-
nected with these pipes, ut convenient
points, will be long flexible tubes, each )
tipped with a handsome amber mouth
pice for the comfort and convenience Of
smokers.
When man desires to take a smoke,
he has not to go to the trouble of hunt
ing up tobrcco and filing his pipe, then !,
of finding and lighting match, and
perhaps burning his fingers. and after
ward getting fire and ashes upon his
clothes halt-a-dozen times before his :
smoke is ended. There is none OF this,
trouble and vexation. He has only to.
place the amber moctli between mis- lips,
turn small silver thumbscrew, and the
cool, delicious, perfumed smoke glides
| into his mouth. BY this ingenious and
delightful arrangement all danger of :;
| fires from pipes and cigars will be obyi-
ated, and millions of valuable property
annually saved.
| The rates of insurance of those who.
have neither pipes nor cigars in use upon
and In this one item the Professor calcn-
lates that the cost of introducing the
smoke into an ordinary family residences
will be saved each year. By the new
plan man can lie in bed and smoke
with perfect impunity and the greatest
Imaginable comfort. In the saloons
there will be row of comfortable sofas
along one side of the room, with fex,-
BILE stems hanging conveniently down
| from pipe concealed in the wall, where
Il man may seat himself and by attach
ing his privatc-mouth-piecc, may have
a delicious smoke at according to the
| calculations of professor Maulesel) less
than half the cost of the commonest CT
gars, such as are known as the Sbull-
teamster regalia" and "Mongolian stin-
kers.'
But some may ask: "How is smoker
of the inveterate class to have his smoke
when walking the streets or traveling:"
This has also been thought of and pro-
vltled for by the Professor. Nothing is
| easier, and at the same time the arrange
ment for smoking while walking the
streets is not only most convenient, but
is such as adds greatly to the personal
| appearance of the man using the little
apparatus. 1t is we'll known that most
men are rather fiat-chested, and, taking
a hint from this, the Professor has fn-
vented an India-rubber receptacle f1t--
ting to the shape, which, when inflated
| with smoke, gives the wezrer a breast
like that of member of the National
Guard. To initiate this before starting
out for walk is but the work of mo-
ment. Connected with it is a hand
lsomely-braided, flexible stem, ending in
a neat amber mouth-oieoe, which Is
tucked into the vest pocket. When not
in use this stem, in nine cases out Of trn,
would be mistaken for n handsome
watchguard, as it is generally ornamen-.
ted with locket, or two or three ele-
giant charms. In case the reservoir
should at any time become exhausted
while the smoker is out walking, tt Is
very easy to step in to the nearest sa-
loon and have it refilled.
AS the smoke comes from the works
freed from nicotine, and all other dele
terious elements, and Is most delicately
and delightfully."- perfumed, it il expec-
ted that it will at once become exceed
ingly popular among the ladies'. Instead
of their use of it being offensive 1t will
prove quite the contrary, as by means OF,
it they will shed abroad wherever they
may so a fine aroma. They will hase
for their use elegantly-carved amber
nouth-pieces, hooped about with gold
land set with diamonds and other gems.
When out walking their reservoir OF
smoke will be contained in the pannier.
to which it will impart much more
symmetrical shape than can be attained
by the use of newspapers; besides, by
giving the rubber of the smoke tank a
suitable thickness and strength, it will
be found to be very convenient when
the wearer desires to sit, as it will serve
as cushion, a something which is often
great convenience and comfort. Due
notice in regard to terms per month,
quarter, and year will be given in a few
days. Men are now engaged in grading
the lot on which the works will be erec-
ted, and the necessary machinery Is on
the way from New York and will soota
be on the ground. ..s
