ALL AeouT PENS
An Ynsss-csting Account Of Their Inveneism
and Evolution.

An Ynssrcetfng Account Of Their Inventisn
and Evolution.
Sharp pointed bodkins, madeof bronze,
of steel or OF iron, were the first pens,
and they were used for cutting out let
tiers and hieroglyphics in the limestone,
sandstone or steatite of eastern countries.
Such pens were also used for writing on
Assyrian tablets. The tablets were made
of soft clay, and after receiving inscrip-
tions were dried in the "a or baked in
the fire.
In the far east and in Egypt the cam
els hair pencil soon took the place Of the
metal bodkin. With the pencil letters
were painted ON the skins OF animals
and the bark OF trees, in much the
manner that the Chinese draw them on
pape- 1t the present day.
In Isrsia. Greece and Syria wax and
leaden tablets came into use, and the
stylus became the popular pen. The
stylus was made of bone, ivory or metal,
with one end pointed and the other Hat
tened. The fiattened end was used to
erase errors made In writing.
The use Of parchment and papyrus.
however, called for q more flexible pen
than either the bodkin or the stylus. so
reed pens were invented. For making
these pens a peculiar kind OF reed was
used, which was shaped to o point and
split, similar TO the pens now in use.
In A. ID. 553 Ii was discovered that
quilts made much better pens than reeds.
The quilts of the goose, the swan and the
crow were used principally. Several
centuries later, when writing paper was
introduced into England, the quill pen
was still the favorite writing instrument.
However, the quill pens had been great
ly improved, and those from Russia and
| Holland were excellent.
In the early part of the present century
there was O demand for something better
and more durable than quill pens. Ac-
cordingly o great many experiments
were made with horn, glass, tortoise
shell and finally with steel, silver and
gold. TWAS soon found that pens made
Of horn and tortoise shell softened under
the action of the ink and were not 50
good as quill pens. Nor were the silver
pens very good. They were too elastic
and too easily worn at the points.
In 1903 steel was tried in Wise's barrel
pens, but being poorly made and very
expensive they were not o success. AT
Birmingham. England, in 1920 the man
ufacture OF steel pens began in earnest.
and they proved to be excellent. The
Hrst gross of steel pens sold in Rirming-
ham brought $38 at wholesale.
They were soon manufactured in great
numbers and have been getting better
and cheaper all the time, until now we
can buy for q triie the best steel pen
made. Europe has always excelled in
the manufacture of steel pens, and Amer
lea IL noted for the manufacture of gold
pens.-Philadelphia Times.
