A WONDERFUL MACHINE.

WONDERFUL MACHINE.
The pin machine is one OF the
closest approaches that mechanics
have made ID the dexterity of the
human hand. A small machine about
the height and size Of ladies' sew
ing machine, only much stronger,
stands before you. On the side at
the back, light belt descends from
shaft in the ceiling that drives all
the machines, ranged in rows on the
floor. On the left side OF our ma
chine hangs, on small peg. Il small
reel OF wire. that has been straight
ened by running through a small
compound system OF rollers. The
wire descends, and the end OF ii en-
tiers the machine. This is the food
consumed by this snappish voracious
little dwarf. He pulls it in and bites
il OF by the inches incesslntly-l40
bites TO the minute Just as he
seizes each bite. IA saucy little ham
mer. with concave face, hits the rnl
OF the wire three times. aud "upsets-
il to heal, while h gripeS it in u
counter-sunk hole between his teeth.
With an outward thrust OF his tongue
he then lays the pin sideways in "a
little groove across the rim OF a small
wheel that slowly revolves just un-
der his nose.
BY the external pressure OF sta
tionary hoop. these pins roll in their
places as they are carried two series
Of small files, three in each. These
files grow finer towards the end OF
the series. They lie at slight in
c.ination on the pins. and by Il series
OF cams, levers,and springs are IN de
10 play like lightning. Thus the pins
are dropped in little shower in n
box Twenty eight pounds are n
days work for one ~ these jerkin"
little automatons. Two very intclli-
gent machines reject every crooked
pin. even the slightest irregIlarity q!
form being detected. Another auto
nation asserts hall n dozen lengths
in as many boxes from varioas ma
chimes. Lastly a perfect genius OF a
machine hangs the pins by the head
in an inclined platform through as
many slots ~ there are pins in II row
Of . per. These slots converge into
the exact space, spanning the length
OF a row. Under them runs the
strip OF pin paper. A barb like part
of the machine catches one pin from
each IL the slots as 1t falls. aud by
one movement sticks them all
through the corrugated ridges in thu
paper, from which they are to he
picked by taber fingers in bourdoirs,
and all sorts Of human circumstan-
ces.

Forks are not of very anci mt use,
but were probably first used upon the
the continent Of Europe during the
fifteenth century. A winter, during
the reign of Queen Elizabeth, she
says: AT Venice each person was

cuts it, for there they deem it i'll man
ners that one sh puld touch it with
his hand
Precisely when or where coins
we're first used cannot be ascertained.
1t is certain that rs early as four
hundred years before The Chri~til.-
era coins were in use all over the
civilized world Every nation had
its own coins specimens OF which
have been preserved To this day. No
coin mas been found OF an earlier
date than eight centuries before
Christ. The Chinese claim The in

coins have been produced rs early,
by several centuries. as the oldest
Greek coins, historians are accus

now exist, is two hundred thousand.
