How Needles Are NInde,

Needles are all made by machinery.
The piece of mechanism by which the
needle is manufactured takes the rough
steel wire. cuts it into proper lengths,
files the point, fattens the head, pierces
the eye, then sharpens the tiny instru-
ment and gives 1t that polish familiar
to the purchaser. There is also a ma.
chine by which needles are counted
and placed in the papers in which they
are sold these being afterward folded
by the same contrivance.
