Ono end of a pencil now on tho
market is a clgarct and cigar light
or, so that an extra article need
not be carried In the pocket. Tho
flame Is produced when tho end
cap Is pulled off, friction against a
piece of lint causing a spark which
lights n wick. This eliminates tho
need of wheels, springs and other
