To nn American Is due the credit for having made the fouutala pen the iisiful article it bus conic to be, for without the sold pea point, which can not corrode, the fountain pen would bs useless. The manufacture of gold pens was commenced In the TJnited States in 1835 by a watchmaker of Detroit Attempts had been mado In England to make Bold pens prior to that tin e, but they met with little success. Alloyed gold is too soft to make a durable point, and this circumstance made it necessary, to protect the pen points with dia monds or rubles until John Isaac Haw kins, a citizen of the I'liltec" States, but residing in Kngland while the experi ments in the manufactur ug of gold pens were in progress there, accidental ly discovered that the native alloy of Iridium and osmium ore, one of the hardest nnd most refractory of all me tallic alloys, could bo used for protect ing tho points to much bt tter advan tage nnd more cheaply. Hawkins' rights were purchased by a clergyman of Detroit, who induced tho watchmaker above mentioned to manu facture gold pens. The llrsl pens mado by him were poor substitutes for the quill then In use. In 1840 his plant wns taken to New York, where the business wns enlarged. Quite nn Improvement was added to the plant by the machlues for the mnk lng and tempering of the pens, Invent ed by John Kemlell, one of the em ployees of the establishment. This es tablishment soon produced a gold pen so perfect thnt It combined the elas- tlclty of the quill with the permanency of the nictnl. About 1S30 It wns dis covered thnt by Imbedding the Iridium points In the gold Instead of soldering tbcin on the corrosive Influence of the , Ink on tho two metals, the solder and the gold, wns avoided and a firmer ... bold In the pen was glveu to the points. Tho gold pen has been brought to its present degree of perfection by the American manufacturer, i nd the in dustry from its inception has been characterized by the use o' American melhoils. Vor the pro-Iue Ion of the gold pen a hltdi degree of si ill Is neces sary, nnd only experts nrj employed In the different plants. The gold used In the. mn'ilng of the pens is obtained from ihe United Plates assay otllce. It Is then melted nnd alloyed about sixteen carats fine und rolled Into a long, nnr.ow ribbon, from which pen blanks or flat plates in the shape of a pen, but consldernbly thicker than the liuished pea, are cut by means of a lever press or die nnd punch. Tho blunt nib of the blank is notched or recessed at the end to re ceive the Iridium thnt forms the ex ceedingly hard point which all good pens possess. The iridium Is conted with a cream of borax ground in water nnd lnid In the notch formed in the end of the blank. It Is then secured by a process of sweating, which is nothing more or less than melting the gold of which the ' pen is formed so that it unites solidly with the Iridium. The blank Is then passed between rollers of peculiar form to give a gradually diminishing thickness from the point backward. The rolls have a small cavity in which the extreme end of the Iridium pointed liib Is placed to prevent Injury to the iridium. After rolling the nib of every pen 1b stiffened and rendered spongy by hammering. This Is the most Important process In the manufacture of the pen, as the elasticity of the pen depends entirely upon this operation. The pea Is then trimmed by a press similar to that which is used for cutting out the blanks or by automatic machinery. When the blank has been trimmed the name of tho manufacturer and the number of the pen are stamped on It by means of a screw press. The pen Is given its convex surfape alio by means of a screw press, the blank being pressed between a concave die beneath and a convex one above. Quite a little force is necessary to bring the pen to the required convex ity, and when this operation is com pleted two jaws approach the blank and press It up on opposite edges, thus giving the pen Its final shape. The next step is to cut the Iridium Into two points by holding it on the edge of a thin copper disk which is charged with fine emery and oil and revolves at a high speed. -The nib Is then slit by a machine and the slit cleared by means of a fine circular saw. After slitting, the nibs are brought together by hammering, and Ihe pen is burnished on the inside by a concave form and on the outside by a convex form. This is necessary to give the pen a uniform surface and greater elasticity. These nibs are then set by the fingers alone, after which operation the pen Is ground by a lathe with a thin steel disk and a copper cylinder, both charg ed with fine emery and oil. The silt is then ground by a fine di.sk, and the Bides of the nibs and the points are ground upon the copper cyllider. After the grinding is done the pen is polished jpou buff wheels, which completes the rocoss of manufacture. Before the pen is placed upon the market, however, It Is given a thorough Inspection to see that It possesses the proper elasticity, fineness and weight, then passed to an Inspector who tests It and weighs It Chicago Cnronlcle.

Queer Instruments In Harvard Den tal School's Collection. Like many other of the "new" pro fessions, dentistry Is very old one. It is known that 400 years before the beginning of the Christian era Egyp tian deutlsts filled teeth with gold, but no trace of their methods of doing their work has ever been found. Aescula pius, the patron of physicians, was the first famous dentist In Ho: inu history, and the old Ilomuus used a toothpick very much like the little wooden one thnt Is made today. The Arabians ages ago produced a dentifrice, but It soon seemed to be very generally used. The story of dentistry Is told In the Instruments It has employed. As they lire known today they had their be ginning In the sixteenth century, but their evolution has been slow. In the Harvard Dental school In Huston there Is a collection of Instruments used by dentists In the first half of the last cen tury. One of the formidable tools It Includes Is what was called a key, doubtless from Its peculiar shape, which was used for extracting teeth, the process being to slowly and pain fully twist and pry the offending molar out of Its place. In order that no mis take should bo made the dentist began operations by hammering and prod ding one tooth after another with a sort of bludgeon until he had t-ntlstlcd himself not to mention (lie tortured patient thnt he hnd found the most sensitive one nnd therefore the most likely enndidnte for extraction. Tho grandfathers of the delicate steel tools that lie In rows on the modern dentist's table were small In number, but large In nwfulness. 1 here are In the Harvard collection ehbHs and mal lets, rude foveens for removing the teeth, miniature crowbars used to re pair cavities for filling, flits tor sharp ening the cutting and grinding sur faces of teeth and one particularly horrid Instrument, known as the pel ican, with which tnetli were lifted." How rapidly and recently dentistry has become one of the Important sciences appears In the fact that In the middle of the hist century black smiths were doing their best or worst to relieve the victims of the tootli nche, while todny Institutions like the Harvard Dental school attract stu dents from all over the world. Bed sides, while it was sure torture to go to the dentist In the ?o ctUod "good old days," such a visit now Is com paratively comfortable, so far has the profession gone In the dire, t'on of per forming its operations without caus ing pain.

FEATHERED GLUTTONS. gome Very (ireeily Illrils Thnt Are Tremendons Feeders. Despite the fact that "the appetite of a bird" has become a common phrase for light eating, Investigations show that birds are tremendous feeders. The diet of the average kestrel (a small Eu ropean hawk) Is calculated at 1,000 mice a month, to say nothing of insects aud worms. The barn owl is as vora cious as the kestrel. An investigator, after caging one of these birds, gave It seven mice one after the other. The first six Immediately disappeared, encli with a gobble nud a gulp, and the owl did its very best to treat the seventh In n like manner. Limitations of ab dominal capacity, however, prevented, and though the gobble came off the gulp did not, so that for twenty min utes or so the tall of the seventh mouse dangled from the corner of the bird's beak. . But In due course It swallowed the body, and three hours later the pangs of hunger reasserted themselves aud the owl ate four more mice. Four pounds would be a heavy weight for a heron. Yet one of those birds, which was trapped In England, dis gorged two recently swallowed trout, one of which weighed two ponnds and tho other one and a half pounds. An other captured had contrived to put away three trout averaging three-quarters of a pound apiece, although It was only four months old, und nuother had dined upon seven small trout, together with a mouse nud n thrush. Among the greediest birds are wood pigeons, which will continue to gulp down food until their crops are almost at the bursting point. From one of these birds, shot as It was returning from a raid In the fields, no fewer than 800 grains of wheat were taken. An other bad contrived to era mi down no fewer than qoo peas.

The modem cutaway sprang from the body fitting Justaucorps of the French ns knowu to tho courtiers of Louis XIV. nnd Louis XV., and the gar ment wns in turn probably evolved from the frock or tunic worn In tho fourteenth century. 1 The lirst trace of a cutaway in any thing like Its present form, says Ihe Sartorial Art Journal, Is' seen lu oi l prints of French military uniforms, early In the eighteenth century. For civilian usu it was worn In England about 178.0 us a riding coat, the tails being very long In IK! "J 11 was adopt ed lu France for walking as well ui for riding and was then lu shape and cut much nearer the modern cut away than any of Its predecessors, Hi iiij,h it was usually double breasted.
