In cooking, the opium bubbles and sizzIes
slightly, as burning sealing wax does. The
cooking takes all the moisture from the
opium, which, before it is cooked, in con-
sistency and color must resemble treacle.
While the smoker is cooking his pill every

say, he rolls it over the bowl of the pipe
again and again, with a twirling motion
Of the fingers, holding the needle, until
finally the pill assumes the shape Of a lit
tie cone. Then the pipe bowl, slightly
heated at the orifice and the point Of the
needle, is thrust into it up to the pellet Of
opium. 1t sticks to the bowl and the
needle is withdrawn. Now the pipe Is
ready to be smoked. This, also, Is a Curl
Gus operation.

that the opium smoker buys it. 1t is. of
