A Oio-AEETTK Maohuth. —A wonderful invention is reported by an English Consul in the United States, He states in his official report that “ a cigarette machine which makes over 100,000 cigarettes per day (the work of sixty hands) hae been invented. The consumption of cigarettes in the United States has increased enormously of late, The revenue returns for the fiscal year ending June 30ch, 1880, show that 408,000,000 cigarettes were made in that year, an increase of over 70 per cent, on the preceding year. It is estimated by some manufacturers that the figures for the current year will be nearly 1,01X1,000,000! The machine referred to is so perfect and rapid in its work that fourteen of them would suffice to manufacture for the entire demand, and a moderate sized room would be all the space required.”
