HISTORY OF LEAD PENCILS.
Used I'm q Primitive Form Back in
the Middle Ages.


the Middle Ages.
It Is difficult to determine the exact
period In which "black lead" was first
utilized as an instrument for writing
Or drawing, as it has been confused
with other mineral bodies to which it
bears no relation. The ancients used
lead, but the metal was formed into
fiat plates and the edges Of these plates
used to make the mark. If an orna-
mental design was desired the tran
scriber drew parallel lines and traced
their Illuminated designs, usually with
hard point, but also with soft lead.
That lead was known to the ancients is
also proved by the fact that it is men
toned in the book of Job.
During the year 1915 there was 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 mixture of fossil
substance, sometimes covered with
wood, was used for writing and draw
ing. About half century later good
account Of this mineral was given, and
it was then used in Italy for drawing
and mixed with clay for manufacture
ing crucibles. We are informed In. Beck
mans History OF Inventions that the
pencils first used in Italy for drawing
were composed Of a 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 molybdoids, which is now applied to
an entirely different mineral.
Graphite or black lead is formed in
the primary rocks. In the United
States 1t occurs in felspar and quartz,
in Great Britain In greensboro rock
and gneiss, and in Norway in quartz.
The mine at Barowdale, 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.
The Jews were for while the only
manufacturers of pencils. 1t requires
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.

AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.

~~~S$SS~>~%SN
For the first time in six months FL
mer Jurgins, on two consecutive morn
ings, walked to the railway station. As
he went, men turned to stare at him,
women pointed at him out of the win
doWs, and even the small dogs seemed
to take delight in barking at him. At
the station his arrival created a mild
stir, and on the second morning a
group of his fellow citizens gathered
about him.
"Mr. Jurgins," said the spokesman,
why do you walk to the depot in this
humble fashion? Where is you rauto-
mobileY
''Sold it," said Jurgins, shortly.
"Going to get larger one?"
mo, SIR, I'm done with EN-"
A murmur of surprise ran through
the group.
Cost too muchY' inquired the
spokesman.
mot at all. 1t was not very expen-
gve to buy, and it was cheap to run.
It was not the automobile that l kept,
but keeping an automobile, which was
expensive"
Some one asked for an explanation.
We'll, gentlemen" said Jurgins, ''six
months ago every man In this town
called me 'Jurg,' was glad to walk with
me and swap yarns, moved up to give
me half his seat in the car, and seemed
generally satisfied with me. Blicks,
the grocer, knocked off a little on my
bill now and then. and gave my boy a
bag of candy when l settled with him.
'Toomy gave me two thousand
pounds Of coal in a ton, and never sent
a bill for it until asked him what I
owed him.
Il hired your boy, Billings, for 10
cents an hour to cut my grass and do
chores. l used to do most of them my
self, in the evening.
"My wife could buy ten yards of
goods and cut dress, hire Nancy Cook
for two dollars day to sew it together
and fit it, and be as well dressed as
the rest of the women here. And when
there was tennis, 'croquet or golf, no
one in town was more likely to be ask
ed to take hand than my wife and l.
Then 1 bought that automobile.
For at least four months no man in
town has called me anything but Mr..
Jurgins.'
"Blicks adds little to every bill be-
cause he thinks 1 can afford it.
"Toomy cuts the weight short and
demands cash.
Nancy Cook is only a seamstress
when she sews for your wives. When
mine wants her she is modiste at five
dollars a day, and requires fifteen
yards Of goods.
Billings boy won't work for me at
all, since he no longer considers it Il
neighborhood service, and have to get
a man at so cents an hour-and he has
to do everything.
my milk costs me cent a quart
more, and haven't been asked to play
tennis, golf. baseball or croQuet once
this summer.
mo, gentlemen, could buy an au-
tomobile, buy gasoline for it, and hire
repairs made IL necessary, but / can't
afford to keep the automobile in the
town live in and let it be known that
l own it.
Boys am no longer Mr.. Jurgins'
the automobilist, am 'Jurg' again, old
'Jurg,' henceforth and forevermore."
As the train pulled In there was a
rush by each commuter to secure a
whole seat, one-half Of which he could
