Lead Pencils.

With the improved machinery now
used, ten hands will mako about 1900
lead pencils of the cheaper grade day.
The cedar comes chiefly from Florida,
and it is received in slabs of pencil
length, one for the lead to go in and the
other to cover it, as may be seen by ex.
amining the end Of any lead pencil.
Four little grooves are sawed in the
thicker slabs, for the leads, which are
kept in hot glue aud taken one by one
and inserted in the grooves. Then the
thin slab is gluedto the loaded slab, and,
thus united, they are run through a
moulding machine, four pencils coming
from each slab. After the ends are
rasped they are run between grooved
wheels at considerable pressure for the
only finish they get. This furnishes
them, and they are tied in dozens and
boxed for sale, mostly in plaii. wood,
and of three degrees of hardness. The
graphite used comes in fine black
powder, and is mixed with German white
clay, about half and half, and then
ground with moisture, forming a paste.
This is pressed in dies into length of
four leads, which are cut and then baked
at very high temperature. These sell
at So cents, 81 80 and 81 gross, and
are very good articles, writing smoothly
and evenly. The manufacturer makes
about 100 per cent. selling the pencils at
So cents gross, and the retailer makes
II good thing selling them at one cent
apiece. The graphite costs about %
cents pound and the clay Ii tie more
than the freight. The more clay is used
in the leads the harder they will be.
The cedar is cut mostly from fallen
trees in Florida swamps. Y. Sta
EOBer,
