The History of The Fountain Pen First Mentioned in 1658 --- Finally Perfected by Water man in 1884 Fifty years have elapsed since it was proved that a pen could hold its own supply of ink and write with- out flooding the paper with disfigur- ing blots. Before that time a pen with an attached reservoir of crude form had made its appearance in various countries, but it was unsatis- factory. Not until 1884 did the hard rubber contrivance, much like that of today, begin to attract the busy man searching for time -saving devices. The beginnings of the fountain pen are obscure. While early records indi- cate that experiments were made in the sevententh century with a pen carrying a small supply of ink in the handle, the exact design is unknown. What is believed to be one of the earliest references to a fountain pen occurs in the account of a journey made by two young Hollanders to Paris in 1658. These travelers allude to "a marvelous invention for writing conveniently," and to the inventor who "made silver pens where he puts ink which doesn't dry, and without in- creasing the supply of ink you can write right along as much as a half hand of paper." No further descrip- tion of the pen is given. Slightly more informing is the Frenchman, Bion, in a book on mathe- matical instruments written in 1728. Bion describes what he calls a foun- tain pen as "a cylinder with two caps screwe._ on either end of it." The nib portion, he explains, is composed of a quill, and "this should be well split, and cut and screwed into the inside of the little pipe, the ink poured into the tube by means o.' a funnel, and the flow of it controlled by a screw work- ing in the little pipe." FURTHER EXPERIMENTS. English poet who designed a pen to hold its own ink relates: "I had it made in silver, a long, hollow handle ending with a conical point, but it either grew cic„ ged if the ink was too thick or emitted blots when too thin," In other words, the pen failed to properly feed .itself. That was the general type of t;' ude fountain pen introduced into America, and it was this clogging with its subsequent blot that turned an American insurance agent, Lewis Edson Waterman, into an inrentor. Waterman's experience in 1880 with one of those old-fashioned reservoir kens induced hine to change his occu- pation. He had visited a "prospect" for some time and finally got the man to the point of signing an application for a large policy. The day he present- ed the insurance form for signature, Waterman took from his pocket a pen he had thoughtfully provided. But the pen failed to do its job, letting out instead a blo: of ink which ruined the sheet of paper Before he could return with a cleat form a rival agent came along and wrote the policy. CAPILLARY ATTRACTION USED. Waterman then and there decided to study the reason why his fountain pen failed. Irregular feeding and lack of control against flooding, he discov- ered, were at the root of the trouble. He set about creating a feeding sys- tem that would deliver the ink in a controlled flow to the tip of the pen point. His device was perfected after three years of work. It was a three - fissured feed, which utilized the prin- ciple of capillary attraction. In 1884 he took out a patent for his pen. Fundamentally, the fountain pen has not departed from first principles, though a self -filling gadget has done away with the old method of dropping the ink into the barrel or reservoir. The first slim affair holdink only a small amount of ink has been enlarged to a pen warranted to write steadily for more than twelve hours without needing to be refilled. Next to the United States, Germany and .Japan lead in fountain pen production, but their product is- generally of a cheap grade.. England and France, on the other hand, like the United States, manufacture the better type of pen. Both English and French books of this period tell of sporadic efforts to master the principle of the self-feed- ing pen. But results, it appears, were far from satisfactory. A shorthand expert in a book published in 1786 says: "For expeditious writing some use what are called fountain pens into which your ink is put, but as it is a hard matter to meet with a good one of this kind, I would recommend a steel or silver one that will write fine without blotting the curves of the letters." In practically all accounts of early fountain pens and their performances, the main difficulty is conceded to have been with the ink feed. Clogging and blotting ruined their efficiency.

There is an excellent opportunity for groups of farmers in the vicinity of Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winni- peg, Moose Jaw, Saskatoon, Regina, Prince Albert, Calgary and Edmon- ton, if they could be interested in lamb feeding, Mr, A. A, MacMillan of the Dominion Live Stock Branch, told the World's Grain Conference, .At the above mentioned points a supply of feeder lambs are readily available each year. If groups of farmers undertook lamb feeding, the freight from stockyard or abattoir to the feed lot would be reduced. The making up of carloads of finished lambs would be easy and each group of farmers would benefit by the ex- perience of neighbors. Thousands of sheep raisers in both Eastern and Western Canada could increase re- turns from the lambs by resorting to careful selection at weaning time, men are marketing only those q at are finish - failed to ed and of desirable weight, and put- ting the balance into the feed lot for . a short-term feeding period. Sunday School Teaeher—"Whho was the mother of Moses?" Little Mary—"Pharaoh's daughter." Sunday School Teacher—"But she found him in the bullrushes?" • Little Mary—"That was her story." The essential of a good detective story is that it be simple, says Ches- terton. If the reader is, as well, it adds to the surprise. An English neurologist says that a man who owns a car seldom walks in his sleep, but we bet, if he's got a family he does it a lot when he's awake. Janitor—"How did you come to lose your job?" Office Boy—"Mine and the boss' grandmother died on the same day." Daily Paper Stands Up Newspapers in 1933 fell off in the United States and Canada by some- thing like 200, to a shade under 14,- 000 publications. This 'is less than a two percent. decline, and the first six months of last year were a grim period. The chief casualties were among the weeklies, Of daily news- papers only seven disappeared out 2,012. Half a dozen years ago, at the peak of prosperity, there were 2,400 dailies. The depression presum- ably is responsible for a shrinkage of about 15 percent which is almost trivial when compared with other shrinkages in the nation's house- keeping. Moreover, it is striking that a very bad average year like 1933 should have seen a trifling loss of seven daily newspapers, against a decline of more than 60 dailies in a good year like 1928. The reason is perhaps that we have so many more troubles and prob- lems to thresh out. • For instance, just to give full space to everybody's views on the gold standard would require about 100,000 large daily newspapers.—New York Times.

EVERY LIMB "LOCKED" Hospital Case of Rheumatism COMPLETELY RELIEVED BY KRUSCHEN The value of perseverance with Kruschen, in the treatment of rheumatism, is proved by this man's experience. He says:— "I was abroad for over seven years,i and when I returned I began to get rheumatism—particularly in the feet and arms. Three years ago my rheumatism) got much worse, and I was eventually taken, into hospital, unable to move any joint of my body. I left the hospital after two months, when I was somewhat better. I was recommended to take Iiruschen Salts, and I have taken them continuously. Since then I have gradually got rid of my rheumatism, until I am now en- tirely free of those awful pains. I would not be without my Kruschen Salts for anything."—M.B. No remedy can bring permanent re- lief from rheumatism unless it per- forms three separate functions, These are (a) dissolution of the needle - pointed uric acid• crystals which cause the pain; (b) the expulsion of these crystals from the system; (o) preven- tion. of a further accumulation of uric acid. Two of the ingredients of Kruschen Salts effectually dull the sharp edges of the painful uric acid crystals. Other ingredients of these Salts have a stimulating effect upon the kidneys, and assist them to expel the brie acid through the natural channel, There are still other salts in Kruschen which prevent food fermentation tak- ing ing place in the intestine, and thereby check the further formation of mix- chievous acid. Kruschen Salts is obtainable at all Drug Stores at 45c. and 75c. per bottle. The following interesting item was taken from last week's' issue of The Brushville Bugle:. "Sam Hopkins accidentally shot himself while hunting. One of the wounds is fatal, but his friends are glad to hear that the other one is 'net serious." It's very embarrassing wife is jealous and very when ,she isn't. when one's humiliating LAMB FEEDING ENTERPRISES. Many farmers who have plenty of feed and suitable accommodation can- not buy feeder lambs due to lack of money, says Mr. A. A. MacMillan, Do- minion Live Stock Branch. On the other hand, many sheep ranchers feel that their lambs are to some extent sacrificed at time of sale due to the fact that they have had to take the price offered. In Southern Alberta some very satisfactory results have been obtained where the rancher has entered into an agreement with the feeder on an agreed feeding plan, both rancher and feeder sharing in the enhanced value of the lambs at the time of marketing. The recent experiment also of extending the sea- son for fresh lamb by which 8,000 picked lambs were brought from Southern Saskatchewan through the agency of the Dominion Department of Agriculture and placed for finish- ing with 26 farmers in Ontario this winter has proved most successful, and promises to become a regular practice.
