MADE FIRST METALLIC PEN
Unfortunate Frenchman, Victim Of
courtesan's Enmity, Was the In
ventor, According to Historians.

The invention of the metallic pen
belongs to France, the first writing i'm
plement of this character being used
by the famous state prisoner, La Tude,
who called down the wrath Of Nine.
de POmpadour by his passionate let
tiers. La Tude was the natural son
e6 prominent court official and was
brought up for military career, but
in his mistaken youthful alteration he
misinterpreted the smiles Of Nine. de
Pompadour. In an effort to prove his
fidelity his friends devised a harmless
tAy which exploded noisily when Nine
de PompadOur opened it-after receiv-
ing a letter from La Tude warning her
Of impending danger from her enemies.
When the contents Of the box were
found to be nothing more dangerous
than alum powder. La Tude was
eaaIped into dungeon, where nd
spent 35 years. In order to occupy
his time La Tude tried to write his
memoirs by means of an improvised
sisbbOne pen. When this broke he
begged copper coin from the prison
priest. This he ground into the shape
of pen by rubbing 1t against the
ecu walls. He also made the first
known ink tablets by preparing bread
crumb pellets with his own blood.
This happened about the, year 174O,
according to the French researchers.
Metal pen points were not marketed,
however, until nearly go years later.

Good Roads, ED. Hines" and
Automobiles" are synonyms.
At the Michigan State Fair in De-
troit Sept. 2-11 this will be emphas-
lied when Edward N. Hines acts as
State Fair board member In charge
of the department devoted to auto
mobiles and accessories.
1t is not necessary to introduce Ed
Hines to anybody who knows Wayne
county and it's roads. He is pioneer
as far as autos are concerned. He Is
a member Of the Wayne County Road
Commission that built the first con-
crete roads which brought experts
from the four corners Of the United
States to gaze in envy at what Wayne
had accomplished. Furthermore Ed.
Hines has been a booster for good
roads throughout the state, day In
and day out, since the memory OF
man runneth not to the contrary
His department at the state fair
will have one of the finest automobile
display buildings in the country, with
a floor space Of 1850 square feet,
erected especially for the display of
automobiles.

TELLS OF LIGHTNING ZONES
United States Forest Service corrects
an Impression That Has Become
Almost Universal.

II is an old saying that most prov
erbs are only half-truths. Some are
wholly contrary to fact
For instance, there is an ancient
saw to the effect that lightning never
strikes twice In the same place" This
Is absolutely untrue.
The United States forest service,
which breads lightning as a frequent
cause of forest fires AYERS that light
ming has zones of frequency" where
ia 1t is likely to strike whenever there
Is an electrical storm. 1t suggests
that such zones might be mapped with
n view To special precautions.
These zones have reference to topcg-
rapSy, especially in mountainous re-
Eions. A hill much more likely to be
struck by lightning than any area of
Rowland because 1t Is nearer to the
clouds.
An isolated tree does not attract"
lightning, as Is commonly supposed. II
81 be very tall. lightning is more apt to
strike 1t than to hit objects In its
neighborhood because Of its height
merely.
For a like reason the Eiffel tower In
Paris is often been struck by light
ming. The lofty shaft erected in honor
of the father of his country, in Wash
ingtoD. is frequent target for thun-
6er5Sfts, and has to be protected
against them by an elaborate system
Of lightning rods.
A high mountain top is sure to be
struck frequently by lightning. But
not so If it's elevation be great enough
to uplift 1t beyond the ordinary level
Of thunderclouds. In that case 1t will
have a lightning-struck zone lower
down. around Its sides.
Often N lightning-bot discharged
into Quartz rock or quartz sand melts

Such pipes, called "fugurites," are
sometimes found in large numbers on
