A PEN AND INKSTANDJ IN ONE THE ANTI-STYLOGEAPH Fitted with Non-Coerobible Pens. THE ANTI-STYLOGRAPH is a SelfFeeding Rbservoib Pen, aud differs from all Stylographs from the fact of its being not a writing point but a true pen, nibbed in the ordinary way, and changeable at pleasure. THE ANTI-STYLOGRAPH is ready for instant use without adjustment, and will write with any ink — black, red, or copying. It only requires to be refilled after several days' use, and may be carried in any position without risk of leakage. No inkstand is required, and there is, of course, no dipping of the pen, wnich, on the contrary, will write freely and continuously until the ink contained in the holder ia exhausted. The refilling can be effected with the greatest ease and celerity. PRICES OF THE ANTI-STYLOGRAPH : Pocket Size (4| inches), fitted with NonCorrodible Pen, 4s 6d each. Desk Size (6 inches), fitted with WonCorrodible Pen, 5s 6d each. "The Anti-Stlogkaph supplied by Thomas Be La Eve &Co., is correctly described as a 'selffeeding reservoir penholder, carrying a pen with ordinary nibs.' It is an admirable invention, and enables the writer to preserve the distinctive features of his handwriting. Instead of producing strokes of uniform thickness the strength of the up anp down strokes can be varied at pleasure, according to the character of the nib employed. It writes freely with any good ordinary ink, and is certain to become popular." — Morning Post. "The An ii-Stylcgraph. — Messrs Thomas Dela .Rue and Co. send us some specimens of their AntiStyIiOGRAPH — a tubular penholder containing a self-regulating supply of ink. This useful contrivance is due to the ingenuity of Mr T. A. Hearson, Professor of Applied Mechanics at the Royal Naval College. The holder is fitted with a flexible nib, renewable when worn out, like an ordinary steel pen, and thus differs materially from the Stylograph, which, with its hard fine point, is unsultedfor some styles of writing. lo those who have to write much at odd times and places, this Anti-Stylograph should be especially valuable, enabling them, as it does, to dispense with an ' exciseman's ' or other form of portable inkstank, while it preserves all the character of a person's hand>vriting, and, what is even more important, of his signature."— Daily .News. •LAWN TENNIS, RACQUETS, BALLS, NETS, COURT MARKERS. THE "DIAMOND" RACQUET, Registered. This is the only Racquet by which the Striker has absolute control over the ball, and possesses the following immense advantages :—: — 1. The greatest elasticity is obtained, as the strain caused by striking the ball is equally distributed over a much greater surface. 2. The interlaced and diagonal mesh of the " Diamond " Racquet holds each string in its place. 3. This elasticity ia especially appreciated for backplaying, no force being required to return the service. 4. The ball can be " served " or " volleyed" with the greatest precision. 5. The practice of " cutting " or "screwing" is particularly facilitated by the formation of the mesh, 6. The " Diamond " Racquet does not destroy the balls as in the ease with knotted-strung Racquets.
