TantaIum Pens.

Pens for writing purposes are being
manufactured today in Germany by
a process which Is exciting some
curiosity. The trouble found with
steel pens is that they oxidize easily
ard the ink sticks to them, This
fault is not to be found with gold
rens; but on the other hand, these
IRE too flexible to be entirely salts
factory. Moreover, in order to form
a point suitable for writing purposes,
the material Of that part Of the pen
has to be mixed with some hard
metal like iridium and this operation
is both complicated and expensive.
This new pen is of tantalum and
comes to the manufacturer in the
form Of black powder The pen
that is made from this has the ten
