HOW GOLD PENS ARE MADE
Metal Is Rolled into a Ribbon and
Pen Shapes Are Cut Out by
Machinery.

The tiny tip of white metal seen on
the under side of the point OF a gold
pen may be of platinum, but It Is more
likely to be iridium. Iridium is a very
hard metal and It is expensive; 1t
costs about four times as much as
gold. The purpose of the iridium tip
is, of course. to give the pen a more
durable tip.
The gold pen maker buys his gold
at the assay ONCE In bars of pure "a
karat gold, which he melts and alloys
with his silver aud copper to the de-
gree of flneness required. Gold of IA
karats is used In the manufacture Of
the best American gold pens, that be-
ing the degree of fineness deemed
most suitable for pen use; but good
pens made In this country for sale in
France are made of Is karats, the
French government requiring that all
articles exposed for sale In that coun-
try as gold shall be of not less than
IS karats.
The gold from which the pens are
to be made Is rolled and rerolled until
what was originally thick, heavy bar
of gold has been rolled into thin
gold ribbon about three feet In length
by four inches wide. Then this gold
ribbon is put into machine which
stamps out of 1t pen shapes, all still
fiat. Then on the tip of each of these
pens Is fused the iridium point, and
then the shapes go to Sitting ma
chine, which cut the slit in the pen.
From this Sitting machine the pens
go through another, which gives them
their rounded, familiar pen form, and
then the pens are ground and polish
ed and finished ready for use.
American gold pens in fountain pens
or rs dip pens are sold in every coun.
try in Europe in competition with pens
Of British or of German manufacture,
and under the same competition they
are sold throughout the world, In
South America, Africa, Japan. China,
wherever pens are used.

A problem which has agitated the
feminine mind for some time has been
successfully solved at last. A way in
which women may reach their feet un'

relieve those who are overburdened

plished? It's simple II one possesses
one of the new shoe horns which have
a threefoot wooden handle attached

the relief purchased with one of these

WORKING ON OLD SANTEE.
Old Ship Gradually Begins 10 Float
Only to Settle Again 10 Mud.

Wreckers of the Philadelphia firm
which bought the old prison ship San
tee, once the station ship at the Ma
val Academy, and in earlier years
used as a training vessel in thesNavy,
have begun work looking to the dem
olition of the old vessel. Already,
however. they are encountering diff
Guilty because of the rotten condition
Of the bottom of the historic ship.
Yesterday the wreckers set pumps
to work, and for time the water
receded rapidly. and the old hull
began to rise perceptibly. Suddenly,
however, she began to fill and soon
settled on the bottom again. 1t is
thought that through resting on the
bottom so long the section of the
ships bottom that caved in had filed
with mud, thus preventing further
leakage. until when the vessel float
ed off the muddy bottom, this gave
way under the pressure.
The wrecking crew hopes that by
continually pumping and patching up
holes as they go along, they will be
able to gradually raise the old ship,
aud then tow her to some convenient
place and demolish it in order to pro-
cure the heavy brass and copper plates
and bolts which she is said 10 contain.
