How Gold Pens Are Made.

Metallic iridium. used so extensively
for the points Of gold pens. is made
from the powder obtained in the wet
way from platinum ore by heating to a
high heat in sand crucible and then
adding stick phosphorus. The iridium.
which cannot be melted alone. IS thus
fused in the form of an iridium phoS-
phide. To remove the phosphorus the
phUSphide is heated with lime. and the
iridium is left in the form of hard
white mass. 1t Is now SO hard that 1t
cannot be filed or cut and is broken up
into small pieces for soldering to the
points of gold pens. These small pieces
are ground to the right size on copper
disk wheel with emery or carborun-
dunn. 1t is said that an ounce of irid-
ium will make from 5000 to 10000
pen points 1t has also been found
that the iridium thus prepared is prac-
tically ais hard as the ruby. No steel
tools can make any impression upon it.
At one time much less expensive than
platinum. iridium now Is worth more
on account of the demand for hard plat
inum. In which the iridium Is the
