| Smokey Walter |
Legend has it that Sir Walter Raleigh once bet Queen Elizabeth I that he could measure the weight of smoke. To win the bet, Raleigh placed a piece of tobacco on one end of a balancing scale. He then filled his pipe with an equal amount, smoked it, and carefully tapped the ash onto the
other end of the scale. The difference in weight, he said, was the weight of the smoke.
