IN Past Ages " Played Very Im'

Many odd notions still exist m b
sneesing, and some persons may b
heard TO exclaiin Bless, my soul

on after each sneeze. But In pas,
ages the sneeze really played q very
important part.
In ancient Greece tho people saiuted
each other whenever any one present
Glanced to sneeze. Aa Xenophon was
addressing the Greek army In a mo.
ment of defeat on a historical occa.
sion soldier sneezed. The lines Of
battle were formed at once, for the
sneeze was deemed good omen, and
the Greeks were successful.
Among the Hebrews when person
sneezed the bystanders would say,
"Tobinz chaiim"-"A long life to you"
In India criminals ON the rack of tor
ture have saved their own lives by
sneezing accidentally.
A humorous story about sneezing n
told In that wonderful collection OF
oddities, "The Arabian Nights" A
schoolmaster was particular In teach
Ing his pupils the value Of pollteness.
He also told them that whenever no
sneezed they should clap their hands
and say, Long live our noble master"
One day master and pupils went out
for q stroll. The air was hot, and all
soon grew very thirsty. Great was
their JOY at last to find a well. But
the bucket was at the bottom Of the
well, and SO the schoolmaster went
down to bring II, up. The boys seized
the rope and tugged for dear life. Just
as the schoolmaster reached the top Of
the well he sneezed. The boys let 90
the rope ard clapped their hands, shout.
ing, Long i've our noble master.'
AS for the poor schoolmaster, he fell
to the bottom Of the well, where he
may be to this day, for all one knows

us Development From the Markena
Used by the Ancients.


1t Is difficult to determine the exocA
period III which "6lack lead" was first
utilized as Gn .I;trument for writing
or drawing. az il has been confused
With other mineral bodies to which IL
bears no relation. The ancients used
lead, but the metal was formed into
nat plates and the edges of these plates
used to make the mark If an Orna-
mental design was desired. the tram
scr'ber drew parallel lines and traced
therein Illuminated designs. usually
with hard point, but also with soft
lead. That lead was known to the an
cients Is also proved by the fact that
1t Is mentioned in the book of JOb
During the year 1915 there was q de-
scription of the black lead pencil writ
ten by Conrad Gesner. He says that
pieces of plumbago were fastened in a
wooden handle and a mixture of fossil
substance, sometimes covered with
wood, was used for writing and draw.
Ing. About half a century later a very
good account of this mineral was Civ
Ell, and it was then used in Italv for
drawing and mixed with clay for man
ufacturing crucibles.
We are informed in Beckman's "His.
tory of Inventions that the Dencils
first used in Italy for drawing were
composed of mixture of lead and tin
nothing more than pewter. This pen
ell was called a stile. Michael Angelo
mentions this stile. and. in fact Il
seems that such pencils were long used
III common over the whole continent
OF Europe. At this period the name
plumbagO or graphite was not in use.
Dut instead the name mOlyhdena O.
molybdoids, which Is now applied to
an entirely different mineral.
Graphite or black lead is formed IN
the primary rocks. In the United
States it occurs in feldspar and quartz,
In Great Britain in greensboro rock
and gneiss and in Norway in quartz.
The mine at BOrrOwdale, England, has
supplied some of the finest black lead
In the world, but the quantity varies
owing to the irregularity with which
the mineral occurs.
HS jews were IOr dWnIle Inc only
manufacturers of pencils. 1t required
great skill to perfect the manufacture.
according to the degree of hardness or
softness required. OF recent years the
| manufacture of pencils has increased
to such an extent that the price Of
these articles has decreased proper
tionately. Graphite and pure clay are
combined and used in the manufacture
of artificial black lead pencils, and, on
the other hand, the greatest perfection
is attained in the making of the higher
class pencils. Graphite is exposed to
heat to acquire firmness. and brilliancy
OF color Sulphur is also used to secure
more perfect cOlOr.-Scientific Amer
