A New NEEDLE.-A lady in San Fran
cisco, the Chronicle of that city says, has
invented new needle, the Improvement
consisting in making q needle u anv size
without an eye for the thread, but with.
instead, hole bored longitudinally into
the head or larger end thereof to the depth
Of quarter Of an inch or thereabouts.
which hole Ia arranged with q screv-thrend.
The needle, it is claimed, will carry any
kind Of thread, and can be used for every
purpose. Ii u thought that it will be
valuable, also, as q surgical needle, an it
will require but one thread, the advantage
of which will be that smaller hole will Be
made in passing through any substance
than would have to be made by the par
TALLY doubled thread Of the ordinary eyed
needle.
