HISTORY OF THE LEAD PENCIL.
Interesting Facts About a Most Pop
uIar Instrument,

u1ar Instrument.
The lead pencil, the most common Of
all writing implements, is somewhat over
200 years old. The term "lead pencil"
however, is a misnomer, as, In mineral
ogical sense, there is not particle of
lead in its composition. The lead pencil
originated with the discovery Of the
graphite mines in England in 1864 dur
ing the reign Of Queen Elizabeth. As
graphite so greatly resembled galena, the
German name for which was bleiglanz, 1t
was given the name of blei, or lead.
In the early days of lead pencil making
the graphite was sawed into thin sheets
and cut into strips smaller and smaller
until they were of size to be covered
with light wooden slips and thus serve as
pencils. The first pencils created much
excitement. The graphite mines Of Eng
land were considered Of inestimable value
and were protected by law. But there
was great waste-frst, in digging, for
many of the pieces were too small for cut
ting, and again in the manner of cutting
the graphite, which was so crude that
half the material was lost.
So binding substance had to be in
Ntuttu. NluS, SuAl, ISlASlusS anu
substances were tried, but the graphite
was only rendered hard and brittle and
Of uneven hardness. Its marks were
faint and indistinct, and in those days If
the point broke it was quite an undertake
ing to sharpen it again. First, the wood
had to be cut away and the graphite
heated over light to soften it, after
which it was drawn to point with the
fingers.
In 1895 Conte, Frenchman, came on
the idea of using pulverized graphite and
binding clay. This discovery resulted in
pencils of varying hardness, according to
the amount Of binding clay added, and
each pencil was of exactly the same
hardness throughout its length. Soon
after this discovery improvements fol-
lowed in mixing, rolling and shaping the
graphite composition, which was cut into
lengths, placed in a warm oven to harden
and finally incased in wood, as seen to-
day.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Chicago, Sept. 20.-The boomers of
the rival baseball league left Chicago
yesterday, and will interest themselves
until the next regular league meeting
in fostering interest in the projected
organization. President Quinn went to
Detroit to stir up interest there. That
city seems indispensable to the new
league. Arson seems confident of en-
ticing sufficient capital to embark a
rival team here. Philadelphia and
New York are counted easy, because
of indirect support from the present
club owners there.
