Show NEW WRITING IMPLEMENT. A writing implement composed of a mixture of wax and finely ground pumice stone containing contain-ing particles of Ink has been invented by William C. Geer of Akron, O., to take the place of ordinary and fountain pens, pencils, crayons and till other writing implements, says the Popular Science Monthly. As the body of the new writing device is composed of a mixture of wax and pumice stone, which is easily worn away when rubbed against a paper surface, the inventor claims that the cells of ink intermixed with the wax and pumice pum-ice stone will also be liberated, giving a uniform supply of ink. The device is made by mixing the wax, pumice stone and ink together. When it is heated to the proper temperature it is suddenly Immersed in cold water. This chills and solidifies the wax mixture, producing a body having a cellular structure, struc-ture, each cell being filled with ink. |
