The tobacco is placed in the receptacle at top in thesame manner as in an ordinary smoking-pipe. Adraught of air is obtained for its combustion by therevolutions of a fan or wind wheel in the cylinder under-neath, which has the effect of drawing the smoke in atthe upper part and driving it out at the spout. In itstransmission through the machine the smoke is cooled^being driven by the fan against the cold sides of thecylinder, and it is rendered thereby incapable of scorch-ing the plants. The ejection tube or spout can beturned up or down, at the option of the or frames may be fumigated from the outsideby passing the nozzle of the spout through a smallhole in the door, or other aperture.
