POINTERS ON A REAL PIPE.
What 1t Should BE Like to Provide
Good Smoke.

What 1t Should Be Like to Provide
Good Smoke.
The circumstance that all tobacco
pipes are advertised as cool is clear ev-
idence that most pipes are hot, says
the Manchester Guardian. A writer In
an American technical review has made
scientific examination Of the structure
of the average pipe to find a general
explanation of this and other defects
By cool pipe, he explains, one means
q dry pipe. 1t has little to do with the
actual heat Of the smoke coming from
the stem into the mouth, but almost
everything to do with the chemical
qualities Of the smoke. The same to-
produces different chemical results. 1t
Is not matter of the material of which
the pipe Is made, which has little II
anything to do with its qualities. Nor
does the writer approve Of fancy"
pipes with contrivances to "catch" or
absorb the nicotine" for the liquid
wastes from pipe are mostly tar and
If held In the pipe in cutoff e-way
health" corners decay and become a
horror to the smoker.
The bowl is as narrow and deep as Is
convenient; the hole in the stem meets
the bowl at the very bottom and exact
ly in the center. but more or less to
one side-the stem side. The result of
this Is that the draft, instead of being
straight down, is drawn in obliquely
toward the side where the hole is. Part
of the tobacco, therefore, Is not in the
line of the draft and burns incomplete
ly or not at all. OF this wasted tobac-
co the part along the line of consump-
ton Is merely charred and smolders.
Besides this, the unburned but highly
heated tobacco out Of the line of the
draft Is more or less distilled and the
f1avors from 1t mingle with those from
the charred portion, the total mixture,
the writer feelingly adds. being some
thing to weep-and cough-over.
