FIRST TO MAKE STEEL PENS
Before Samuel Slocum's Invention
These Articles Sold at So a
Dozen Wholesale.

The first machine for the manufac-
ture of pens was the invention of an
American. Samuel Slocum, who was
born 127 years ago AS result OF
his invention steel pens, although made
by hand long before. came into general
use and soon displaced the quill. Be
fore Slocum's machine began turning
out pens in large quantities steel pens
sold at wholesale for about So n dozen,
but by 1890, thanks to the improved
process of manufacture, the price was
reduced to about 1S cents dozen, an
exchange states. The ancient Egyp-
tianS used brush or reed pen in writ
ing on the delicate membrane obtained
by unrolling the stem of the papyrus,
water plant once abundant along the
Nile. The ancient Greeks and Romans
also used reed cut to point sim
liar to the modern pen. In the mid
die ages metal stylus was used to
write on wood coated with wax. Quilts
were first used as pens in the fifth or
sixth century and their use became
general. Iron pens" were made as
early as 1855, but the quill held its
vogue until the invention of machinery
for pen making placed pens within the
reach of all.

Sugar From the Garden.

Gardeners who cannot raise sugar
cane may be Interested in the follow
ing description, which appears i'm
Chambers Journal, of the process of
extracting sugar from beets. The ANA
teur must exercise great care in har-
vesting the roots that the tender skin
be not broken. The first operation is
to remove all dirt by washing. after
which the beets are boiled in water
until the skin peels off easily. They
are next cut into thin slices, placed
in n pan, just covered with water,
brought to II boil once more and then
left to simmer for ten hours. The re
sulting pulp is put into muslin bag
and squeezed until all the juice Is ex-
tracted. The juice is boiled down to
very thick sirup that makes good
substitute for commercial sugar. AS
the sirup will not keep for more than IL
few weeks, 1t Is advisable to make
only n small supply at time. The
roots, however can be stored for
long period without deteriorating IL
they are kept dry and free from frost.

What the Sun Does.

Letting the sun shine for given
time upon the blackened cover OF
box filed with water or some other
liquid, and noting the rise in temper
ature, affords us n method of approx
mating the amount of lat given Off
by the sun. By such ethod it Is
estimated that the earth receives ev
cry second from the sun enough heat
to raise 600,0O0,0O0 tons of ice water
to the boiling point, or to melt 100000
600 tons of Ice without change in tenn
perature. II this is the amount that
the earth receives, think of the amount
that must be passing off into space and
other planets. This amount has been
computed to be 2,200,000,000 times as
that which the earth receives. ScieD
fists have shown that the amount of
heat received by us from the sun may
vary as much as five per cent in less
than week.

Marvellous Birds.

"Speaklng of hens" said an Ameri-
can traveller, reminds me of an old
hen my dal had on farm In Dakota.
She would hatch out anything from
tennis ball to n lemon. Why, one day
she sat on a piece of Ice and hatched
out two quarts Of hot water" "That
doesn't come up to a club-footed hen
my old mother once had" said one OF
his hearers. "They had been feeding
her by mistake on sawdust instead OF
oatmeal. Well. she laid twelve eggs
and sat on them. and when they were
Matched eleven Of the twelve were
woodpeckers."
