Mr. Prince, of New York, has invented a “Fountain Pen” which bids fair to prove of great utility inasmuch as one can write with it a quire of paper without stopping to dip the implement in ink. The fluid is contained in a tube in the handle and its flow is regulated by pressure of the fingers upon the handle as the holder writes. It may be safely carried in the pocket without danger of spilling the ink. For persons requiring to write in out-of-the-way places, or for writers whose time is money, this article is just the thing, for it saves a world of pother and time. Mr. John C. Whitwell of this city, we understand, is the patentee’s sole agent for the sale of the “Fountain Pen.”
