The lead pencil. the moat common of all writing instruments. is somewhat over 200 years old. The term "lead pencil," howeved, in a misnomer, as, in a mineralogical sense. there is not a particle of lead in its composition The lead pencil originated with the dis- covery of the graphite mines in Bing- land in 1664 during the reign at Queen Elizabeth. As graphite no tly re- sembled gaiena. the Germa name for which was bleiglona, it w you the name of blei, or lead. ' in the early days of load pencil mak- ing the graphite was sawed into thin sheets and cut into strips smaller and smaller until of a nine to be cov- ered with light wooden slips and thus serve as vpenciln. The first pencils created much excitement .The graph- ite mines of England were considered of inestimablo value and were protect- ed by law. But there was great waste —-first. in digging, for many of the pieces were too small for cutting, and again in the manner of cutting the graphite, which wgo so crude that half the material was root. So a binding substance had to he in- vented. ‘Glue. gum. iainglass and other substances were tried, but the graphite was only rendered hard and brittle one of uneven hardness. Its marks were faint and indistinct, and in those days if the point broke it was quite an un- dertaking to sharpen it again. First, the wood had to be cut away and the graphite heated over a light to soften it. after which it was drawn to a point with the fingers. In 1795, Comte. a Frenchman. came on the idea of using pulverlxed graphite and binding clay. This dis- covery resulted in pencils of varying hardness, according to the amount of binding clay added. and each pencil was of exactly the. same hardness throughout its length. Soon after this discovery improvements followed in mixing, rolling and shaping the graph- ite composition, which was cut into lengths. placed in a warm oven to bar- den and finally incased in wood, as seen today—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. LIVEI.Y MAGNETS. One day the reading class came ac- ross the word “magnet." The teacher asked how many of the class knew. what a magnet was and requested those who knew to hold up their right hands. All the class-was motionless for a moment and then one little girl rose up and put up her hand, "Well. my dear." mold the teacher. “what is a magnet?" "I don't know," said the girl. what it is, but i have seen 'em at home in mother's cheese.”—i.ondon Answers. ITS OUALITIuS.
