extensive works which will prove of al
most inealculable advantage to all
lovers of the "weed," and which will
obviate the necessity for both pipes
and cigars. There will be large re-
turts, in which tobacco will be burned,
and the smoke thus produced will pass
through proper pipes to large bell
shaped receptacle of boiler iron. some
what 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 professor has given the
the name of "Tsbaksine," but for con-
venience we will call it by a less sci
entific name, that of smoke, which, af.
ter all, it is.
From the smokeometer a 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 connected with these pipes
at convenient points, will he long aex-
ible tubes, each tipped with a hand
some amber mouth piece for the COM
fort and convenience of smokers.
When a man desires to take smoke
he has not to go to the trouble of hun
ting up tobacco and filling his pipe,

and perhaps burning his fingers, and
afterwarG getting fire and ashes upon
his clothes half-a. dozen times before
his smoke is ended. He has only to

his laps, turn q small silver thumb.

ed smoke glides into his mouth. BY
this ingenious and delightful arrange.
ment all danger of fires from pipes
and cigars will be obviated, and mil.
lions in valuable property annually
saved. & -...
The rates of insurance of those who
have neither pipes nor cigars upon their
premises will be greatly reduced, and
in this one item the Professor calcu-
lates that the cost of introducing the
smoke into an ordinary family resi-
dence will be saved each year. BY
the new plan a man may lie in his
bed and smoke with perfect impunity
and the greatest imaginable comfort.
In the saloons there will be a row of
comfortable sofas along one side of
the room, with flexible stems hanging
conveniently down from pipe CON
cealed in the wall, where man may
seat himself and by attaching his pri-
vste mouth neice, may have deli.
cious smoke at (accordipg to the cal
culations Of Professor Maulesel) less
thru half the cost of commonest cigars
such as are known as the "bull team.
ster regalia" and Monaghan stinkers."
But some may ask, How is a smok-
er af the inveterate class to have his
smoke when walking the streets or
traveling?" This has also been
i thought Of and provided for by the
Professor. Nothing is easier, and as
the same time the arrangement for
smoking while walking the streets is
not only most convenient, but is such
as adds greatly to the personal appear.

ratus. 1t is we'll known that most
men are rather flat.chested, and, TAX
ing hint from this, the Professor has
invented an India-rubber receptacle
6tting to the shape, which, when inflat-
ed with smoke, gives the wearer a
breast like that of a member of the
National Guard. To initiate this be-
fore starting out for a walk is but the
work of moment. Connected with
it is a handsomely braided, flexible
stem, ending in a neat amber mouth
peice, which is tucked into the vest
pocket. When not in use this stem,
in nine cases out Of ten, would be mis-
taken for handsome watchguard, as
it is generally. ornamented 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, it is very easy
to step in to the nearest saloon and
have it reflled.
