Thrn iin Anrrlrau « llltfii Dlafoifr,# That Iridium ( oold Hi* t'aeri Koi 1 Protect in IK the I’oluta, anil the Ter- leet l*en Itenalted* To tin American If due the credit for having made the fountain pen the useful article It has come to lie, for without the gold pen point, which ran- not corrode, die fountain pen would he useless. The manufacture of gold pens wn« commenced in the 1‘nlted States in 1SiLi by ii watchmaker of Detroit. Attempts hud hecii made in Kugiiiud to make gold pells prior to thnt time, tint they met with little success. Alloyed gold is loo soft to make a durable point, and this circumstance made it necessary to protect the pen points xxitli dia monds or rubles until John Isaac Haw kins, a citizen of (lie t'nited States, hut residing In Kngland while the experi ments in tin* manufacturing of gold pens were In progress there, accidental ly discovered that the native alloy of iridium and osmium ore, oue of the hardest ami most refractory of all me tallic alloys, could be used for protect ing the points to much better advan tage and more cheaply. Hawkins' rights were purchased by a clergyman of Detroit, xvho Induced the xvatclnnnker above mentioned to initiltl- facturc gold pens. The tirst pens made b.v [dm were poor biihstlHiles for the quill then In use. In 1840 his plant xvas taken to New York, where the business was eitlfirgeil. (Julie an improvement was added to the plant by the machines for the mak ing and tempering of the pens, Invent ed by John Itendell, one of the em ployees of the establishment. This es tablishment soon produced h gold pen so perfect that It combined the elas- tIcily of the quill with the permanency of the melnl. About 1N50 It was dis covered that by Imbedding tlie Iridium pollita iu (lie gold inslead of soldering tbcin on the corrosive Influence of the Ink on the two metals, the solder and tlie gold, was avoided and u tinner bold In tlie pen was given to ttie points. The gold pen lias been brought to Its present degree of perfection b.v the American manufacturer, ami tlie in dustry from Ita Inception has been characterized by the use of American methods. For the production of the gold pen a high degree of skill Is neces sary, and only experts are employed In the different plants. The gold used In th" making of the pens is obtained from the United States assay office. It Is then melted and alloyed about sixteen carats tine and rolled into a long, narrow ribbon, from which pen blanks or tint plates in the shape of a pen, hut considerably thicker than the Itutsbed pen, arc cut l»j means of a lever press or die anil punch. The blunt nib of tlie blank is notched or recessed at the end to re- 'celve tlie iridium that forms tlie ex ceedingly hard point which all good pens possess. The iridium Is coated with a cream of borax ground In water and laid in the notch formed In the end of the blank. II is then secured by a process of sweating, which Is nothing more or less than melting the gold of which the pen I" formed so that It unites solidly with the Iridium. The blank is then d between rollers of peculiar foi iu to give a gradually diminishing thickness from the point backward. The rolls have a small cavity In which tlie extreme end of the iridium pointed nib Is placed to prevent Injury to the Iridium. After rolling the nib of every pen Is stiffened and rendered spongy by hammering. This Is the most Important process In the manufacture of the pen, as the elasticity of tlie peu depends entirely upon this operation. The pen is then trimmed by a press similar to that which is used for cutting out tlie blanks or by automatic machinery. When the blank has been trimmed the name of the manufacturer and tlie number of the pen are stamped on It by means of a screw press. The pon ts given Its convex surface also by moans of a screw press, the blank being pressed between h concave die beueatli and a convex one above. Quite a little force Is necessary to bring the pen to tlie required convex ity. and xvheu this operation Is com pleted two jnws approach the tdank and press It up on opposite edges, thua 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 xvhieh Is charged with tine 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 saxv. After slitting, the nibs brought together by hammering, and the pen is burnished on the Inside by h concave form and on the outside by a convex form. This is necessary to give tlie pen a unlfornj surface and greater elasticity. These nil's are theu set by tlie. fingers alone, after which operation die pen is ground by a lathe with ti thin steel disk and a copper cylinder, both charg ed with fine emery and oil. The sift is Ihen ground by a fine disk, and the sides of die nibs and the poiuts are ground upon the copper cylinder. After tlie grinding is done die pen is polished upon buff wheels, which completes die process of manufacture. Before the peu is placed upon the market, however, it i* given a thorough Inspection to see that it possesses the proper etastietty. fineness and weight, then passed to an Inspector who tests it and weighs it.—Chicago Chronicle. Ofleer Instruments In tlnrTnrd Den- ml School** 4 (illeotlon. Like niauj other of the "new ’ pro- testdotiH. dentistry is a very old one. It is known that 4on years before die iiegitiiilng of the Christian era Egyp tian dentists tilled teolu with gold, but no trace of their methods of doing their work has ever been found. Aescula pius, the patrou of physicians, xvas tho first fatuous dentist iu Roman history, and the old Romans used a toothpick very much like the little wooden one that 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 lias employed. As they are known today they had their be ginning iu the sixteenth century, but their evolution has been slow. In the Harvard Dental school In Boston there is a collection of Instruments used by dentists In the first half of the last cen tury. due of the formidable tools it Includes Is what was railed 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 be made the dentist began operations by hammering and prod ding one tooth after another xxitli a sold of bludgeon until he had satisfied himself not to mention the tortured patient—that he had found the most sensitive one and therefore the most likely candidate for extraction. The grandfathers of the delicate steel tools that lie In rows on the modern dentist’s table were small In number, but large In awfulness. There are in the Harvard collection chisels and mal lets, rude forceps for removing Hie teeth, miniature crowbars used to re pair cavities for filling, files for sharp- oiling tlie cutting and grinding sur faces of teeth and one particularly horrid Instrument, known as the pel ican, with which teeth xvero “lifted.” Hoxv rapidly aud recently dentistry has become one of the Important sciences appears in the fact that In the middle of the last century black smiths were doing their best—or worst . _to relieve the victims of the tooth ache, while today Institutions like the Harvard Dental school attract stu dents from all over the world. Be sides, while It xvas sure torture to go to the dentist In the so called “good old clays," such a visit now Is com paratively comfortable, so far has the profession gone In the direction of per forming its operations without caus ing pula.
