ODD THINGS IN PENCILS.
Some Are Made for Use on Glass and
Others for Writing ON
Human Skin.

"Black lead pencils" said the sta
TONER, ''are, of course, the kind most
commonly used; but colored lead pen
ellis are, in the aggregate, sold in large
numbers, and they are made in very
great variety, relates the New York
Sun.
ARTISTS lead pencils are made in
more than so, in perhaps as many as
a hundred, colors. In these pencils
with the lead in wood, the wood is fin
ished of color approximating as near
" as may be that of the lead. A tray
of samples of such pencils thus pre-
sents very striking appearance, max
ing more than rainbow of color.
"There are made, also, colored leads,
for use in pencils for movable leads.
These artists pencils of one sort and
another are used not alone by artists,
but by architects, engineers, design
ers, craftsmen, and others having oc-
casion to use fine colored pencils.
''Then there is great variety of
colored pencils for general use, for
checking and marking and so on, in
office, and store, and library and fac
tory, some of these being sometimes
used on textile fabrics, as we'll as on
paper and wood.
"There are colored pencils, these
also being made in various colors,
that are especially designed for the
use of lumbermen; as there are also
pencils with leads of various colors
made especially for the carpenters
use.
''No doubt the common idea of lead
pencil is of something with which we
mark on paper, though the use of PEN
ellis for marking on wood is familiar
enough, as, in a more limited way, is
their use for marking on fabrics, and
so on; but there are various uses to
which pencils are put that must be
less familiar, if not indeed quite IN
known to many.
"There are, for example, pencils
especially made for marking on glass,
porcelain, polished metals, oilcloth,
patent leather and other things upon
which the ordinary pencil would not
mark at all. The leads of these pen
ellis are, of course, made of material
especially prepared for the purpose.
With such pencils marking is done
easily on any of the hard, polished sur
faces, and the marks may be as easily
rubbed off.
"These pencils are in use in drug
stores and hardware, glass and crock
cry stores and so on. They are made
with white and with black leads, and
with leads in variety of colors, the
colored pencils being the more gener-
ally used and the colors most common
ly used being red and blue and yellow.
"Another odd sort of pencil is one
made for the use of surgeons for
marking on the skin in surgical pper-
ations and for anatomical purposes.
These also are colored pencils and they
are made in variety of colors.
''In fact, simple thing as the lead
pencil might seem to be, it is really
omething that is made in almost end
less variety; but, for all that, the pen
Gil manufacturer gets every now and
then from somebody a demand for
new pencils for some special use"
