Q. Geer of Akron o., to take the place of ordinary
and fountain pens, pencils. crayons and all other
writing implements, says the Popular Science
Monthly. AS the body of the writing device
is composed of n mixture of wax and pumice
stone, which is easily worn away when rubbed

Ice stone will also be liberated giving n uniform
