Meerschaum History.

In 1928 there lived in Pesth, the cap
ital of Hungary, Karlo Kowatee, a
shoemaker, whose ingenuity in cutting
and carving on wood brought him into
contact with Count Andrassy, with
whom he became a great favorite, says
the Gi0be-D Democrat. The count, OF
his return from a mission to Turkey,
brought with him a piece OF whitish
clay, which had been presented to him
as n curiosity on accoun of its extra
ordinary light specific gravity. 1t
struck the shoemaker that, hing
porous, it would be well adapted for
pipes, as il would absorb the nicotine.
The experiment was tried, and Karol
cut a pipe for the count and one for
himself.
He would work on them at odd mo-
ments during working hours without
wiping Che wax from his hand. He
noticed that the wax gave the pipes a
pretty brown polish and also that they
smoked more sweetly. Other aoble-
men hearing of the wonderful species
Of clay imported il in considerable
quantities for the manufacture OF pipes.
The natural scarcity of this clay, known
as meerschaum, and the great cost of
importation In those days of limited
facilities for transportation rendered
its use exclusively confined to the
richest pobleman Of Europe up to 1880,
when it became a more general article
Of trade, The first meerscaum pipe
made by Karol Kowatee has been pre-
served and Is now in the museum al
Pesth.
