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. An

LAMB FEEDING OPPORTUNITY.
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.

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.

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

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.

Printed Nets for
Sports This Spring
This is going to be a season when
materials speak . for themselves.
Among the more fanciful of the 1934
fabrics is printed net.
In plaids, fruits, flowers and con-
ventional designs printed net is
scheduled for a popular summer run.
In addition to using it for such types
of costume as we have been accus-
tomed to, the new printed nets will
also find themselves made into sports
outfits and suits for street wear.
Straw cloth is another novelty —
that is, it has all the earmarks of
novelty with the more stable bene-
gits Of practicability. It is woven on
artificial silk, and is to be used both
for costumes and for hats. It is to
be had in colors and in black and
white.
Composition wools make an inter
esting group in the new fabric d
partment. They are a medley of wid
ly differing strands and threads wit
an assortment of odd colors, orfshads
of better known hues. And atmos
invariably 1. there are gold or silver
threads—sometimes colored mett�
strands—woven in with the wool, T
