HISTORY OF LEAD PENCILS.
Used fn a Primitive Form Back IL
a.. axxNsaHa AaSs

Used In a Primitive Form Back In
the Middle Ages.
Ii Is difficult to determine the exact
period In which @bIack lead was first
utilized as an instrument for writing
or drawing, as 1t has been confused
with other mineral bodies to which II
bears no relation. The aneients USED
lead, but the metal was formed into
FIAT plates and the edges of these plates
used to make the mark. IL an orna-
nlenta! design was desired the tran
scriber drew parallel lines and traced
their Illuminated designs, usually with
d hard point, bEt also with soft lead.
That lead was known to the anclents is
also proved by the fact that 1t IL men.
toned in the book of Job.
During the year 1915 there was q de-
serlption OF the black lead pencil writ
ten by Conrad Gesner. He says that
pieces OF plnmbago were fastened In a
wooden handle and mixture of fossil
substance. sometimes covered with
wood. was used for writing and draw
Ing. About half a century later q good
account Of this mineral was given, and
It was then used In Italy for drawing
and mixed with clay for manufecSur
ing crucihles. We ARE informed In Beck
mans History Of Inventions that the
pencils first used in Italy for drawing
were composed ofta mixture OF lead
and tin, nothing more than pewter.
This pencil was called a stile. Michael
Angelo mentions this stile, and, In fact,
1t seems that such pencils were long
used In common over the whole CONT
nent OF Europe. AT this period the
name plumbago or graphite was not In.
use. but instead of the name molybdena
or moiybdoids. which is now applied to
an entirely different mineral.
Graphite or black lead is formed In
the primary rocks. In the United
states II occurs In felspar and quartz.
lii Great Britain In greensboro rock
and gneiss, and In Norway in quartz.
The mine at Barowdaie. England. has
supplied SEINE Of the finest black lead
In the world. but the quantity varies,
owing to the irregularlty with which
the mineral occurs.
The Jews were for a while the only
manufacturers OF pencils. II requires
great skin 10 perfect the manufacture,
according to the degree OF hardness or
softness required. or recent years the
manufacture Of pencils has increased
To such an extent that the price Of
these articles has decreased proper
tionateiy. Graphite and pure clay are
combined aud 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 Il exposed to
heat to acquire firmness and brilliancy
or color. sulphur Is also used 10 secure
a more perfect color.
