BRITAIN FROWNS ON FAKE TOBACCO I IVIany things can be manufactured and sold in this country as synthetic products without notice other than a declaration . of being a substitute, but there is one thing that always ands the inventor before the courts— synthetic tobacco. .Rob the public, sell the people prac- tically nselessfoodstuffs or other in- different articles provided the pack- age bears the word imitation or subs- titute and no action can lie with the courts, but the inventors of synethetie tobacco have to. face the charge a defrauding the Government, andthis is fatal to invention. Some few months ago the Inland Revenue Departraent collected civet $10,000'from a firm making_ tobacco from forest leaves, and the defendant escaped lightly, for according to the evidence the stock of good imitation , tohaeco should have paid duty run- ning into four or five times that a- mount. A Huddersfield chemist has just been fined $100 for having in his pos- session stained leaves reseinhling to- bacco. The evidence showed that the defeadant had advertised a tobacco substitute which barns well, taste good and does not bite the tongue. The ar- ticle was aartidd "Brett's Perfect Plug" and. the' pnce was forty-eight cents for four. *ounces. ! A Customs suiveyor said that after. getting a supply of the plug by post 1 he visited the defendant's premises ; where- he found a. mixture of leaves and tar, a press for extracting niois- tare and four t sacks of leaves, prin- cipally-raspleerry leeitetth' In the shop were 20,49.ff pounds of pluk labeled "Bret -f.'s Perfect Plug," a herbal substitute for tobaecd, and a tar containing wood tar. The de - tendert said that he had formerly used treacle with the nuxture until the supply dropped off. A Customs representative said a plug before examination would cer- tainly be taken for tobaeco.

The prin.., elate of the compass,- or as the Chi- ese call it, the south -pointing Char-. lot, is stated by Chinese and foreign authorities alike to have been die - covered ' during the reign of Chong Wan, 1115-1079 B.C. The discovery was forgotten in a few hundred years. Then the philosopher Chang Hong, who died in 139 B.C., recon- structed the device. In succeeding troabies his model was losttancl fere gotten. From the third. century A.D. onward great interest was shown by the Chinese sages in the allusions in old writings to the mysterious south - pointing chariot. Attempt after at- tempt was made to solve the riddle, and thea we read in writings of the eleveath century of the compass be- ing in use by mariners. The Chinese south -pointing ehartet , was a magnetized needle suspended. on a thread, so as ;to give freedom . to its north and south propensities. It seems not to have been used by the Chinese for navigation, but solely as an instrument for geographers.' It is probable that the Chinese junk captains of early days found it a ., needless luxury in their shore hug- 1 ging and river navigation.

Except for its extraordinary exterior decora- tions, it is, to all appearances, no different from other buildings in -the nelOborhood, but as the wind sweeps round its niches and eaves a very curious singing noise is emitted, whieb can be heard for some dis- tance 'down the street. For a long time the music remain- ed a mystery, but at last an englneer solved the puzzle. He discovered that the sound was caused by the ma- terial with which the house was bailt—a porous cork sfone, and the wind, blowing through ' the little holes, was the cause of the music.
