STEEL PENS.
The Evolution In Writing Utensils which
Resulted in Their Invention.

The Evolution In Writing Utensils which
Resulted in Their Invention.
In the days of parchment and
papyrus, pens were unknown because
there was no need for them. The ink
was thick then as printing ink now is,
and brush was the thing with which
to apply the ink to the parchment.
To the present day the Chinese still
use brush for this purpose, as also do
most of the Oriental nations. But the
invention of paper necessitated more
delicate touches than could have been
made with brush, and the first effort
to meet the need was a split reed. For
a long time this answered the purpose,
but when greater nicely was demanded,
the goose-quill was pressed into SER
vice. and for ages supplied the de-
mand. During the last century, many
efforts were made to improve on the
quill, the necessity of constantly mend
ing it being found a drawback to its
use, but al were unsyailing. The at
tempts were principally directed to
fitting the points with some substance
harder than the quill. so that mending
would not be needed, points Of steel,
copper, agate and even diamond and
ruby being tried, but all to no purpose.
In the first years of the present CEN
tury pens began to be made
entirely Of metal, and the sur
vival of an old habit was
plainly prominent in the first steel
or metal pens made. they being shaped
in the form of quill as nearly as pos
sible. They were fearfully hard. stiff
things, went scratching over the paper
with a most abominable noise, and
spluttered ut great rate, and rs they
sold for fifty cents each, were not very
popular. In 1920 elliott. the pen
manufacturer, made q wonderful i'm
provement in their manufacture, giving
the pen three Sits instead of one, which
gave more fexibility. improvements
in machinery reduced the selling price
so that he was able to sell these three
slit pens for about forty dollars gross.
1t is worthy of note that better article
of pen is now made and sold for TWEEN
ty-five cents a gross than could then be
made for forty dollars. the difference
being in the perfection of the machin-
cry, calling for less attention from the
men employed. The cheaper pens are
made entirely by machinery, but the bet
ter grades are made partly by hand, and
it is computed that the various manu-
facturers turn out every year about
four hundred million pens. to be used
once or twice and then thrown away.
The process of manufacture is exceed
ingly interesting, and the persons en-
ployed in Sitting the pens by hand
acquire wonderful skill, so that quick
cutter will shape fifteen thousand pens
in day, and a good sitter will cut the
Sits in twenty-eight thOusand.-St.
LO1tis Globe Democrat.

chagrined that it is said he burned the
robe.
Color blindness has been found very
common among sailors and sea cap
tains. Prof. Holmgren found, out of
1000 Swedish sailors, ninety-four color
blind, and this is about an average of
this disease, found in the examinations
of pilots in this country. The increase
of collisions at sea is an indisputable
fact How many rema unexplained
or are referred TO another cause which
are no doubt due to the color blindness
of a single man. If good color per-
ception is necessary anywhere, it is on
sea After the loss of the French YES
sci Vile du Havre. the newspapers
stated positively that the green light
was not recognized in time The
English Admiralty decided that the
English sailing vessel was free from
blame in the collision, and the French
Admiralty exonerated the officers of
the French ship. Many scientists, how
ever believe that the cause of the acct
dent was color blindness in the officer
of the watch of either of the vessels.
Many other examples might be given
of the prevalence of this defect, prov
ing most clearly that there is the great
est reason for the zeal shown in vari-
Gus circles to have all employees who
deal with colored signals tested as to
their ability to readily distinguish the
primary color, particularly those most
used-red and green.-ALbdDy argus.

"You see, on rainy days we get an

we see without one. Most everybody
gives us a dime or q quarter except

HawthOrne's MOdesty.

From the PrOv1dence journal.
once saw Hawthorne under circumstances
which had touch OF the ludicrous. 1t was
at commencement dinner given under a
tent on the "campus" of Bowdoin college,
of which institution il will be remembered,
he was graduate i'm 1926, Longfellow being
his classmate. Hawthorne had secured the
high place which he ever after held in the
republic of letters, and II was deemed great
thing that his presence had been secured to
grace the festive occasion. When the time
came for the speeches, everybody rejoiced at
the prospect of hearing Hawthorne. Bow
doin was justly proud of her gifted son, and
to see him, and especially to listen to him,
was an event not soon to be forgotten. In
fitting terms the president, Leonard Woods,
jr., ii my memory serves me right, an
nounced the next speaker, our distinguished
son and most welcome guest, and, az he pro-
ceeded in his laudatory terms, naturally all
eyes were turned away for the moment from
the guest to the speaking host
Finishing his remarks, the president called
Everybody looked to the spot where just now
'sthe distinguished son and welcome guest"
had been sitting. But he was not there.
While the president had been lavishly pour
ing out his praises, and extolling the won
derful gifts of this alma mater, he had quietly
lifted the canvas of the tent, crept out and
"gone 10 parts unknown" My recollection
is that there Vas good laugh over the mat

The party conventions since 1880 have been
singularly free from them. If there are
leaders at war il is very certain they are
without followers in their internecine
strife.
The president, no doubt, has TO hear
good deal of recrimnation and see good
many exhibitions of petty jealousy among
the rival politicians from our state, from
his own state and from all others, but it is
not at all likely-nay, the contrary is very
manifest-that he is not moved by it at
all. lie knows that the party masses
have no sympathy with these quarrels,
and that he can always overlook them
and find fit men who are not involved In
them. He seems to be looking for the best
administrative agents, and ig not anxious
to reward the friends of one man nor Il
punish the enemies of another. And he i

who would exhibit the temerity of acus
ing him of working in any factions inter

any such narrow policy.

II Will Not Do.

The Philadelphia Bulletin gravely de-
clares that that city is indebted to Sheriff
Keim nearly s22 900, ''the business of the
Office having fallen off during the term to
such an extent as to make it impossible for
him to secure his salary under the peculiar
laws now in force; and it declares that
Gov. Pattison ought to sign some kind Of
bill which the legislature has passed for
his relief
This view from an intelligent newspaper
is incomprehensible. When keim took his
Office he took the risk of its business slack
ing off and of the fees not making up
the amount of his salary; he knew
the law and accepted its provisions
and certainly when the fees shrank it was
in the power of the sheriff, acting with the
commissioners, TO effect corresponding
decrease of expenses so as to always give
him fair salary.
1t is the practice of officials working
under the salary law to get all the subOrdi.
mates they can, SO as to absorb the fees and
leave none for the county. In Philadelphia
the sheriff oyerreached himself by having a
larger force of appointees than the busi.
ness and fees of the Office war.
rant but that is his own lookout
The policy of the law is against in.
creasing or decreasing salaries or emolu.
ments of an official while he is in office,
and we have no idea that the governor will
sign bill so plainly controverting the
whole tenor of the fundamental law.

Cleveland Meet. His Ola Teacher.

N. Y. Herald Washington Correspondence.
The Iowa Editorial association callcd to
pay their respects on Monday. They were
rather fine-looking body OF men, but no
one would ever take them for editors. The
majority of them publish weekly papers, on
which they act as editors, publishers, re-
porters and business managers combined.
Among the party was Mr.. J. w. Hubbard,
now an editor of thriving paper. Mr. Hub
bard was teacher Of grammar school in
Clinton, N. Y, a number Of years ago, when
President Cleveland was one of his pupils.
The president has not seen Mr.. Hubbard
since he left his school, but he Immediately
recognized him as he passed along in the line
paying his respects. The meeting between
| the former school teacher and his distin.
| guished pupil was an interesting one. They
| spent some time In a pleasant chat, during
which the president invited Mr. Hubbard to
| call on him informally at the White House
| during his stay in this city, Mr.. Hubbard
told some pleasant stories about the presi
| dents school days TO his editorial associates

Our New COllectOr.

The Democrats of Lancaster county, and
indeed its business men and citizens gen.
orally have every reason to be gratified that
the appointment by the president of the
collector of internal revenue in this dis
trict determines the retention of that Off
cial in Lancaster county, which has the
largest population and the most extensive
revenue business in the district.
Moreover the large Democratic vote OF
this county, equalled by that of few other
counties in the state, without considerable
representation in public Office, is properly
complimented and fifty honored in the
selection of one of its foremost representa-
| tives for so important a place, the duties
| of which extend over dozen counties.
| Our neighbors and brethren in York will
hardly begrudge this bestowal of executive
favor.
| Lancaster county was lucky, too, in pre-
senting number of excellent candidates,
none of whom demeaned himself by undue
seeking of the place nor by a dog-h..the
manger policy of exciting strife and jeal
ousy, which would have been disastrous tt
all.
1t need hardly be said that the appoint
ment was made upon fair and full ex
animation of the merits of the names lait
before the president, guided by his coDsci
entious desire to select one who would bring
to the Office administrative ability, tried in
tegrity and business capacity, and VIII
would give to the discharge of its dntie
that exclusive attention which their larg
importance requires. In the grou
of names from which the selection wa
made il would have been difficulty to hay
.. . erred, and, seeing that only one could l
taken, none will more cheerfully acqu
esce in the excellence of the president
final choice than those who stood
. likelihood of being the same. To tn
4 community over which he presided for seve
years as chief magistrate, with rare abilit
, energy and fidelity to every official trust, I
y, introduction is needed for John Il. Ma

A Good Suggestion.

The Philadelphia Times gives good ad-
vice to the committee of councils sitting
upon the railroad question. 1t reminds it
that there is unanimous opinion that the
new railroad should come in and that all
that is to be determined is the question of
the best route by which it shall come in,
Judged from the city's standpoint. This
being mainly a question of engineer
ing, the two engineers in the
service of the city should be
put in charge of the matter to
make an examination and recommendation
as to the route, and the Times proposes that
they shall be assisted by the chief engineers
of the Pennsylvania, Baltimore q Ohio and
Reading railroads. The suggestion is good
The people have confidence in the good
sense and judgment of Chief Engineer
Ludlow, of the water department, and what
he recommends will be about as near right
as they can get
