It was James Buchanan Duke who patented an automated cigarette making machine in 1885 in North Carolina. It was invented by James Albert Bonsack, and was able to produce 200 cigarettes in a minute.

This invention filled the coffers of the state of North Carolina, as the production of cigarettes increased, thus increasing sales and as a result, also increased the tax collection of the state.

This invention consolidated the position of North Carolina as the main producer of tobacco in the United States.

PLEASE HELP!! Explain the following sentence: “Civilization is based, not only on men, but on plants and animals.”
Vika [28.1K]
The most obvious differences between different animals are differences of size, but for some reason the zoologists have paid singularly little attention to them. In a large textbook of zoology before me I find no indication that the eagle is larger than the sparrow, or the hippopotamus bigger than the hare, though some grudging admissions are made in the case of the mouse and the whale. But yet it is easy to show that a hare could not be as large as a hippopotamus or a whale as small as a herring. For every type of animal there is a most convenient size, and a large change in size inevitably carries with it a change of form. Let us take the most obvious of possible cases, and consider a giant man sixty feet high - about the height of Giant Pope and Giant Pagan in the illustrated Pilgrim’s Progress of my childhood. These monsters were not only ten times as high as Christian, but ten times as wide and ten times as thick, so that their total weight was a thousand times his, or about eighty to ninety tons. Unfortunately the cross sections of their bones were only a hundred times those of Christian, so that every square inch of giant bone had to support ten times the weight borne by a square inch of human bone. As the human thigh-bone breaks under about ten times the human weight, Pope and Pagan would have broken their thighs every time they took a step. This was doubtless why they were sitting down in the picture I remember. But it lessens ones respect for Christian and Jack the Giant Killer. To turn to zoology, suppose that a gazelle, a graceful little creature with long thin legs, is to become large, it will break its bones unless it does one of two things. It may make its legs short and thick, like the rhinoceros, so that every pound of weight has still about the same area of bone to support it. Or it can compress its body and stretch out its legs obliquely to gain stability, like the giraffe. I mention these two beasts because they happen to belong 1 to the same order as the gazelle, and both are quite successful mechanically, being remarkably fast runners.

HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I WROTE, THANKS.
