Rows on rows OF implanted, empty fish

NOVEL CIGAR PROTECTOR.
Designed for Autom Obilists and Othrr
Going In the Omen Air at High Speed.

More luxury for the automobiles this
in the form of a cigar protector, a device
to permit smoking while travelling at high
speed; and the same device will serve also
for the yachtsman.
This cigar protector. which is made
entirely Of gold. is cylindrical in shape
and about an inch or an inch and a qlIarror
in length, and of sufficient diam eer TO
take in the large end OF good sized cigar
Its body Is of very fine meshed wire
gauze. the outer end being closed with
thin. rounded. solid cap. From one side
of the open end of the cylinder, into which
the burning end of the cigar is inserted,
projects in line with the cylinder and with
the cigar, little straight length Of wire.

hold the protector in place.
You light tho cigar and insert the lighted
end in the wir, gauze protector, which the
spring ring, further back on the cigar, holds
in place securely. The fine meshed gauzs
lets through sufficient air for combustion,
but not enough to blow the cigar.
As the cigar burns away in smoking tho
ring is shifted up on the body Of the weed.
and thus the burning end is kept within the
protector
With an unprotected cigar, in the old way;
when the smoker was moving at speed the
ashes blew and the sparks flew, and smoking
was anything but comfort; but such smok-
