How Slate Pencils Are Nade

Slate pencils were formerly all cut
from solid slate just as it is dug from
the earth, but pencils so made were OBJ
jected to on account of the grit which
they contain. and which would scratch
the slate. 10 overcome this difficulty,
Col. ID. NJ. Stewart, of Chattanooga,
Tenn. devised and patented an in
genious process by which the slate is
ground to very fine powder. all grit
and foreign substances removed and
the powder bolted through silk cloth
in much the same manner as flour is
bolted. The powder is then made into
a dough. and this dough is subjected to
a very heavy hydraulic pressure, which
presses the pencil out the required
shape and diameter, but il lengths of
about three feet. While vet soft the
pencils are cut into the desired lengths
and set out to dry in the open air. AT
ter they are thoroughly dry the pencils
are placed in steam baking kilnS. where
they receive the proper temper. Pen
ellis made in this manner are not only
free from all grit, and of uniform hard
ness, but are stronger than those cut
out of the solid slate. For these rca-
sons they have entirely superseded the
old kind.-The Manufacturer.
