lead Pencils

OVER TWO HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
The lead pencil, the most common of
all writing implements, is somewhat over
200 years old. The lead pencil originated
with the discovery of the graphite mines
in England in 1864, during the reign of
Queen Elizabeth. AS graphite so greatly
resemhled galena, the German name for
which was "bleiglanz," it 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 a size to be covered with light
wooden slips and thus serve as pencils.
The first pencils created much excite
ment. The graphite mines in England
were considered of inestimable value,
and were protected by law. But there
was great waste-irst, in digging, for
many Of the pieces were too small for
cutting, and again in the manner of cut

that half the material was lost. So

Ghetto. is the niece of Lethierry, who has
invented a steamboat, La Durande, which
plies between Guernsey and st. Malo,
and which is the wonder of the channel

succeeded as captain of La Durande by

guise of a Quaker. Clubin obtains this
booty and determines to keep It. He
plans to wrck La Durande on the rocks
known as Les Hands," and then to
swim ashore and escape. From this
point the story is full of the excitement
and terror of the life OF the sailor. The
descriptions of the sea, the wind and the
mysteries of the ocean bed are wonder
full. Among the striking scenes Is the

A Brief History of This
Important Implement.

stances were tried, but the graphite was
only rendered hard and brittle and Of
uneven hardness. It's marks were faint
and indistinct, and in those days if the
point broke it was quite an undertaking
to sharpen it again. First, the wood had
to be cut away and the graphite heated
over a light to soften it, after which it
was drawn to point with the fingers.
In 1885, to Conte, Frenchman, came
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 hard
ness throughout its length. Soon after
this discovery improvements followed in
mixing, rolling and sharpening the graph
lite composition, which was cut into
lengths, placed in a warm oven to harden,
and finally incased in wood, as seen to-
day
Millions of pencils are now annually
used, being almost as common as match
es and toothpicks. Cedar wood is the
wood mostly used for covering the lead.

6.-Thule was the name given by an
Gent Greeks and Romans to the most
remote northern portion of the world
then known. Whether an island or part
OF continent, nobody knows. It is first
mentioned by Pytheas, the Greek navi-
gator, who says 1t is six days sail from
Britain" and that it's climate Is mix
ture of earth, air and sea-" Ptolemy, with
more exactitude, tells us that the sixty
third degree of north latitude runs
through the middle of Thule, and adds
that 1.-The days there are at the equi-
noxes twenty-four hours long" This.
of course, is blunder, but the latitude
would do roughly for Iceland.

on maps to connect together places of the
same mean temperature. Isotheral lines
Greek there's, summary are those which
connect places Of equal mean summer
temperature. Isocheimonal lines Greek
cheimon, winter connect places of equal
mean winter temperature. Alexander
Won Humboldt was the first to lay down
these systems of lines on maps in 1877
Their Importance in reference to climate,
meteorology, and the geographic distrf~
button Of plants and animals can hardly
be overestimated. The distance OF the iso-
thermal lines are remarkably various in
different parts of the world. Thus, in the
east coast of North America, from
Charleston to Labrador, the mean annual
temperature varies more than a degree
and half for every degree Of latitude;
while in Central Europe the variation is
only about nine-tenths of a degree, and
on the west coasts of Europe still less.
