Messrs. De la Rue have made a great step in
making a pen,—the "Anti-stylograph pen," they call it,—with which you can write easily and clearly for many hours without refilling it with ink. But the process of refilling it with ink is a some- what elaborate one, which will need to be performed almost once a day by men who write much, and that is, of course, a deterrent. Cannot Mr. De la Rue,—or, if not he, then some Japanese or Yankee De In Rue,—give us a pen as easy and fluent as this, which contrasts to great advantage with the hard stylo- graphic point, and yet one that will not want refilling till it will be quite worth while to buy a new one ready filled to replace it ?
