A UNIQUE CRITICISM.
The Shout That Made Reminston's In.
dian onen His Mouth.

Inc shout nat Made Hemln1tons In
dian Open His Mouth.
Frederic Remington's studio was
quiet. A stiffness that betokens work
peryaded the atmosphere, and the art
list, working away at his canvas, "The
Spirit of War" silently laid on his
colors of the scorching sun, and an In
dian chief, raised in his stirrups, shout
ing to his braves, inspiring them with
courage for the fight.
Remington had not heard a knock
at the studio door or the entrance of
an unannounced guest, Nor did he
realize that two sharp eyes were scan
ming his work with that critical exam
nation characteristic of the man who
knows art"
Suddenly there burst from the visitor
such shout as any Indian chief
would have been proud Of.
Another and another shout echoed
through the studio. Remington, start
ing back, dropped his brushes and pal
cite and turned in the direction OF the
laundering voice.
"Ah, bah! My boy, open his mouth.
Make him shout. Make him look 1t.
Open his mouth. So-so,' And the
stranger gave vent to two more shouts
fit for the plains.
1t was Gerome. and this was his
method Of expression in this special
case. Remington, in accordance with
his advice, Opened his mouth" and
as a result, instead Of the slightly
parted lips, there is a face so full Of
enthusiasm. SO expressive Of great
heartfelt ;ilrob giving vent to a cheer,
that when one sees the picture he is
prompted to the action Of Gerome,
who made probably the most unique
criticism ever given on one of Rem
ington's best pictures. Scrap Book.

the LEAD PENCIL.

It's Development From the Markers
Used ~ The Aneieat5,
It Is difficult to determine the exact
period III which .'Dlaek lead was first
utilized as an instrument for writing
or drawing, as it, has been. confused
with other ininerai bodies TO which it
bears no relation. The anciepts used
lead bot the, metal was formed Into
nat plates and the edges OF these plates
used 10 make the mark. If an orna.
mental design WAS desired, the tran
scricer drew parallel lines and traced
therein Illuminated designs, usually
with 4 hard point, but also vita soft
lead, That lead was known to the an
clients Is also proved by the fact that
tits mentioned In The book OF job
During the year 1918 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 a century later a very
good account OF this mineral was Civ
en-, and it was then used in Italy for
drawing and mixed with clay for man
ufacturlng crucibIes
We are Informed in Beckman's his
tory 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 PEN
ell was called a stile. Michael Angelo
mentions this stile, and, in fact, it
seems that such pencils were long used
in common over the whole continent
Of Europe. At this period the name
plumbago or graphite was not in use,
but instead 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 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.
The Jews were for awhile the 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 propor-
tlonately. 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. Graphiteis exposed to
