MACHINE FOR EMBRoIDERNG.-As most mechani-
cal processes which have hitherto been performed
by hand can be much better accomplished bv a ma
Chine, the refined of the brndarer has Weld
ed to the skill of the engineer. The machine in
question Is the invention of NJ. lieimau, Of NAL
thouSen, and by is use the operator embroid-
er design with eighty hundred and forty
heeales, as accurately, and nearly PxpeditOuslv
| as could formeTly-be done with one The principle
OF this ingenious machine is very simple The
piece OF cloth to be embroidered is susperded in 4
| vertical position. The needles with which the or
| namental work is performed are not like ordinary
needles with an eve at one end and a point at the
other, but are furnished with point at each end
and the eye in the middle; these needles are held
by pincers in frame, and the piece of cloth which
| is to be embroidered being suspended in a vertical
| position, the carriage containing the needles is
wheeled up to it; all the needles pierce it, and
passing through a certain distance, are seized on
| the other side by the pincers OF second frame.
| On drawing this frame away from the fabric, the
needles completely drawn through, together
with the threads inserted in them; and sending
the second frame up to the cloth, the needles are
passed through in opposite direction, aud are
| clipped and drawn through by the first frame
! during these motions of the two frames backwards
! ami forwards, The frame in which the cloth is
! pended is moved by attendant in a regulated
order, by means of a lever attached to = panta-
