INVENTORS EVOLVE
MANY CURIOUS PENS
More Than Five Hundred Pat
ents Issued for Devices

More than 500 patents have been
issued for the manufacture of pens, 50
1t is not surprising that in a large es-
tablishment where stationery Is sold
there should be found scores of diff
ferent varieties and sizes and so many
shapes as to excite wonder as to what
possible use they can all be applied,
saws the St Louis Globe democrat.
SO far as the size is concerned the
smallest is the artists pen, not so
large as crow quill, and the largest
is a steel monster nearly an inch
across and capable of holding half a
teaspoonful of ink at time. Ihen
there are the draft, ruling and shading
pens. some of the last being so Stubby
as to rule line over quarter or an
inch in width, while the shading pens,
by dexterous use, can be made to draw
a line of almost any desired thickness.
and so are employed in ornamental
lettering.
There are ruling pens with two or
three points and of such sizes that the
lines may be as close together or as
wide apart as the writer may be de-
sire. These, of course. are for the use
of accountants. But the cleverest pen
of all is the music pen. 1t is not much
used nowadays, for the ruled music
scores is so convenient and cheap that
comparatively few persons need a
music pen. It is made of a strip of
brass so folded together as to present
five points, each representing a double
fold OF the strip.
