The Eluaixo Lead Pencils.

What becomes Of the lead pencils is MS
insolvable problem as what becomes
of pins. No one ever really uses up lead
pencils-no one drinks them, 30 to speak,
to tho very drcgs, unless it is one of
those admirable people who keep jour
nails and cash accounts. and who usually
carry sort of penholder arrangement
in which they insert Il half length
pencil and go on and on using it and
sharpening it until it is all gone. Very
few people ever got pencils worn down
as far as half length. They disappear
before that stage is reached. What be-
comes of them all? Hundreds of thou
sands of them annually are lent to young
children and never secn again, but what
do the children do with theml Do they
eat them up! Possibly.
