Driving a Needle Through a Coin.
If you had to drive a fine needle
through a nickel or a quarter dollar,
perhaps yon would not know bow
to go about it. Let us tell yon.
Thrust the needle through the mid-
of s cork so that its point can
barely be felt at the other end. If
part of it projects at the upper end
of cork, clip it off flush by
means of s pair of shears.
Now a nickel or a silver
quarter on two blocks of wood with
a little space between them, put the
cork on the coin so that the needle
point will be over tho strike
the cork a sharp blow with s heavy
hammer and the thing is done.
The cork keeps the needle from
bending, and as it is harder than the
metal in the coin and is bound to
move when struck, it will go
through the coin.
