BURMA CIGARETTES.
Ono Will Last a Smoker, or Maybe an
Entire Family, a Day.

The American engineer home for a
visit from Burma accepted proffered
cigarette and rolled it gently between
his fingers.

"The cigarette of Burma is re.

length from a foot to foot and a
half, an inch in diameter and not un-
like n giant tirecracker in general
shape If composed wholly of tobacco
it would be deadly. AS q matter Of
fact, it contains very little tobacco.
1t is made of cornhusk or leaves of
innocuous plants rolled tight and with
shredS of the divine weed between the
layers. One will last a smoker for a
day, frequently an entire family for a
day

handsome and intelligent of their sex
in the east, smoke these cigarettes ha-

when the visitor first sees n pretty
woman putting at one of these enor-

cigarette to the child, who never re-
fuses the invitation.

are practically harmless. AS to flavor,

New Use of Compressed Air.

The auxetophone is a device invent
ed by Charles Parsons, by means of
which compressed air can be utilized
to strengthen the tone of any instru.
ment to which it is attached. When
applied to the cello the valve is con-
nected by rod of aluminium to the
instrument. The compressed air pass
ing through the valve is caused to
ribrate, thus producing n sound char
acteristic of the instrument. The
sound issuing from the trumpet, though
in many respects identical with that
of the instrument itself, is at the same
time much richer in tone and greatly
augmented in volume.
