HISTORY OF LEAD PENCILS.
Used In q Primitive Form Back fl
the Middle Ages.

Used in q Primitive Form Back in
the Middle Ages.
1t 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 erna-
mental design was desired the tran
scriber drew parallel lines and traced
their Illuminated designs, usually with
a 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 a 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 century later a 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 OF graphite was not in
use, but iasteal 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
St't"s 1t occurs in felspar and quartz,
IA C"9at BritAin in greensboro rock
nd croiss, and in Norway in quartz.
'"he mine ut Barowdale. England, has
supplied some of the finest black lead
in the world, hut 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.

Soil for POtted Plants,

The soil to be used for ported plants
should he a mixture Of leaf mold from

put over the drainage hole, then enough
soil put in so that when the ball Of
earth is placed in the pot there will lie

face of the soil to the rim of the pot.
Fill in the soil all around the ball. and
pack it moderately tight. Finally give

great cry.
Jack Jackl Thank heaven you hav,
comet
Beverley Rochfort rose to his fee
with a low laugh. He was no coward
like Sheila. He rather hoped there woul(
be some excitement now.
Jack was silent scarcely a moment
he never even glanced at the man; h
looked straight at his wife.
1.-The carriage is waiting for you, Lady
john" he said in a voice which Audrey
had never heard from his lips before "it
is time for you to return to your home
Audrey looked at her husband out Of
her great, blue eyes, all distraught al
they were. For the moment she had for
gotten his treachery at joy in his coming
Now. as with one heavy blow, it all re
turned to her. The end had surely come
when he could speak to her like this
and how terrible was the way in which
he stared at her. She had not strength
to move a limb or utter a sound.
II request that you accompany me tt
the carriage at once" Jack said, thi.
time quite fiercely.
Audrey drew her domino about her
Vaguely she felt that, bad as the horizon
of her life had looked a short hour ago
it was doubly worse now. She did ne'
comprehend Jacks manner, but it hurt
her to the quick. That he should speal
to her like this, and before that odious
horrible man! She put out both hel
hands. Fear of Beverley drove away hel
jealous pangs.
Eyes, yes; take me home. I am read,
to go. entreat you to take me !"
Jack stood on one side for her to pass
and as he faced Beverley Rochfort alone
for an instant, he said, very quietly:
Either your life or mine answers fol
this nights work. You understand"
Perfectly" smiled Beverley, but h,
frowned the next moment.
A duel This was not what he hai
anticipated. Andrew did not catch thu
hurried words, and, as she walked away
beside her husband, she was too deeply
miserable to think of anything but thai
a cloud had fallen on her life; thai
Jacks love had gone from her, and sht
was the most wrerched girl on earth.
