4 NEW IDEA.

who has recently arrived in this city, has
secured a suitable lot on South G.. Street,
and is about to erect extensive works
which will prove Of almost incalculable
advantage to all lovers Of the "weed,"
and which will obvate the necessity os
both pipes and cigars. The works he is
about to erect will bear in all respects
striking resemblance to the works of the
Virginia City Gas Company. There will
be largo rctorts, in which the tobacco
will be burned, and the smoke thus pro-
duccd will pass through the proper pipes
to a large bcll-shaped receptacle Of boiler
/ iron, somewhat resembling gasometer,
whore it will be cooled and purified and
so scented that it shall have the favor of
the finest Havana cigar. To this product
of his rctorts and purifying apparatus the
Professor has given the name of Ia
baksine," but for convenience we win
call it by n less scientific name, that Of
smoke, which, after all, it is.
From the smokoometer 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 whore the smoke
is taken there will be placed meter,
but much moro dclicately constructed.
Running from those meters will be pipes
leading to all the rooms in the house, and
connected with the pipes Mt convenient
points, will be long flexible tubes, each
tipped with handsome amber mouth
piece for the comfort and convenience Of
smokers.
when man desires to tako smoke,
he has not to go to the trouble of hunt
ing up tobacco and Elling his pipe, thea
of finding and lighting n match, and per-
haps burning his fingers, and afIcrward
getting fire and ashes upon his clothes
half-a-dozon times before his smoke IA
ended. There is none of this trouble and
vexaton. lie has only to place the am
Der mouth-pieco between his lips, turn
small silver thumbscrew, and the cool,
delicious, porlumcd smoke glides into
his mouth by this ingenious and de-
lightlul arrangement all danger OF fires
from pipes and cigars will be obyia,ed,
and millions in valuable property annu-
ally saved.
The rates of insurance of those who
have neither pipes nor cigars in uso upon
their premises will be greatly reduced,
and in this one item the Professor calcu-
ates that tho cost OF introducing tho
smoke into an ordinary family residence
will be saved each year. BY the new
plan II man may lio in his bed nm smoke
with perfect impunity and tho greatest
imaginable comfort. In the saloons there
will be n row Of comfortable sofas along
one side Of the room, with flexible stems
hanging conveniently down from pipe
concealed in the wall, where n man may
seat himself and by attaching his private
mouth piece, may have n delicious smoke
Mt (according to the calculations of Pro-
lessor Maulosel less than half the cost of
the commoncst cigars, such as are known
as the "bul teamstcr regalia" and "Mon-
golian stinkcrs."
But some may ask How is smoker
of the invctcratc class to have his smoke
when walking the streets or traveing"
This has also been thought Of and ro-
vded for by the Professor. Nothing is
easicr and at the same time tho arrange
ment for smoking while walking the
streets is not only most convenient, but
is such rs adds greatly to the personal
appearance Of the man using the little
apparatus. 1t is well known that most
men are rather lat-chcsted, and, taking
hint from this, the Professor has in
vented an India-rubbcr receptacle fitting
to the shape, which, when inflated with
smoke, gives the wearer II breast like
that Of Il member Of the National Guard.
TO initiate this before starting out for
walk is but the work Of n moment. Con-
nectcd with it is handsomely y-braided,
flexible stem, ending in neat amber
mouth piece, which is tucked into tho
vest pocket When not in use this stem,
in nine cases out Of ten, would be mis-
taken for handsome watch guard, as it
is generally ornamcnted with locket, or
; two or three elegant charms. In case the
reservoir should ut any time become ex-
hausted while the smoker is out walking
it is very easy TO step into the nearest sa-
, loon and have it reHlled.
As the smoke comes from the works
, freed from nicotine, and all other dele
, terious clements, and is most delicately
and delightfully."- perfumcd, it is expected
, that it will become exceedingly popular
! among the ladies. Instead Of their use
, being offensive it will prove quite the con-
trary, as by means of it they will shed
7 abroad wherever they may go nno
c aroma. They VIII have for their use
elepantly-carved amber mouth pieces,
hooped about with gold and set with dia-
monds and other gems. When out walk
inc their reservoir Of smoke will be con-
toincd in the pannier, to which it will
! impart much more symmetrical shape
than can be attained by the use of news
papers besides, by giving the rubber of
the smoke tank suitable thickness and
strength, it will be found to bo very con-
venient when the wearer desires to sit,
as it will serve as Il cushion, something
which is often great convenience and
comfort. Due notice in regard to terms
per month, quarter and year will be Civ
en- in few days. Men are now engaged
in grading the lot on which the works
