A small button is pressed^ and from the top 'of {he pencil a brilliant light is thrown upon the paper. The light, we, read, enables the user of the pencil to write in a dark room. In" a dimlylighted railway carriage or in a motor car, no doubt, the invention will be of service. The pencil is, produced in nickel and in silver, and can be purchased at a moderate, cost. . . 120
