advance was made In mechanical pencils
and the new pencil came into very general
use. This was a pencil case not maternity
differeAt in size from the wooden pencil,
only not so long. which received a round
lead about four inches long. and as big as
the lead In the wooden pencils. The lead
was held by n snlit tube. which was closed
by being drawn into an inclined cas-
ing by a spring. The fault with this is
that the lead is apt TO be forced back IL one
presses hard upon il in writing. and again
that If the tube be opened carelessly the
lead falls out and is lost. A very ingenious
Improvement was made upon this, IN which
the lead was fed FORWARD about one-fourth
of an inch each time the spring was
pressed and held from falling oat at all
times. This still had the fault that the
lead would press back. Then another case
was invented i'm which the lead is held
from pressing back, but the feeding for
ward is not certain. Another pencil made

While the pencil-case makers were busy
the pencil makers were schemfng also. and
the result was that a little while ago one
maker got out a pencil Enclosed in paper.
The paper is wound on in a spiral. and all
that is needed TO sharpen this pencil Is 10

The wooden pencil makers were beaten for
time. but now one of them has gone the

DEVELOPMENT OF HI PENCIL.
Efforts of Fifty Years to Improve This
Ever Necessary Article.

New York Sun.
There is evidently something wrong with
the common lead pencil. or else inventors
imagine that there is. for a great variety
of new designs for making an ever-polnted
market within a short time.
For many years a lead pencil meant one
of two things. either a stick of baked black
or a little cylinder of similar substance in
serted in a handle which had a screw ar
lead forward as it was used up. OF the
wood-covered pencils there were a few
grades for ordinary house and office use,
artists pencils and big-leaded fiat pencils
for carpenters. All of these were made in
the same general way by laying the strip
of lead in a groove in one side of a piece
Of wood, preferably cedar. gluing another
piece of wood over il, and then finishing
the outside in an octagonal or oval form.
Everybody was supposed to carry a
pocketknife, and a knife was needed every
time a pencil had to have a new point.
Women and others who did not like to soil
their fingers by sharpening pencils carried
the ever-pointed mechanical pencils, and
for half a century or more no jewelers.

ready Tor use. FOR OccaSlOnai use they are
good enough. and probably will always hold
a place.
The effort to make the use of the ordinary
pencil easier began a generation ago. and
one OF the first inventions for that purpose
was of the well-remembered cone-shaped
pencil sharpener. holding a steel blade at
one side. where a hole 10 let out the shaw
ings had been cut. While the blades were
sharp these worked well enough. but this
sharpness seldom lasted much beyond the
time when the vender showed how nicely
the sharpener worked. After that the
sharpene- would wiring off the end of the
