ellis for the home market, which means
an average OF seven pencils per person,
figuring on the last census.
AS far back as history goes man
has tried to make things to mark with
and to set down his thoughts. The
Aztecs and the Pharoahs had crude
marking devices. AS early as 1850
Kahn, a Swedish naturalist, made eX-
periments with American cedar. In
1872 William Monroe made 500 pen
ellis at Concord and sold them in Bos-
ton, but the war stopped his plans,
In 1861 Eberhard Faber began max
ing pencils on large scale in this
country.
The graphite which makes the mark
is OF course the important part in the
manufacture of the pencil. Ceylon has
furnished much of the graphite used in
this country. Graphite is also found in
Madagascar and in Mexico. Czecho
Slokavia contains deposits of both the
amphorous and crystalline graphite In
the United States the chief deposits
are in Alabama, New York and Penn
sylvania.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Where do
all the lead pencils come from and
where do they go? Although almost
everybody has one, many folks never
buy one, but even so, more than 750,-
100000 are manufactured for use IN the
United States every year, using up
many thousands OF cords Of wood.
But woods suitable for lead pencils
are becoming scarcer and many man
uiacturers are turning to paper. Red
cedar and juniper, says the American
Forestry Association, are the woods
chiefly used in making lead pencils. A
hunt is on for other kinds OF wood that
will take the place of these.
In east Africa a kind Of cedar has
been found with which experiments
are being made The production in the
United States is about $4,000 cases OF
pencil Stats per year From each case
100 gross OF pencils is made. This re-
suits in about l,000000,000 pencils OF
American grown cedar. Since. one
fourth OF this number is sent to foreign
countries that leaves 750,000,000 pen
