THE EPIC OF A PIN
Science owes a debt of gratitude to Miss Grace D.uhoit, a Sydney accountant, for having accidentally swallowed a pin. Because, if she hadn’t embedded a two-inch glass-headed piil in her bronchial tube, and hadn’t been lying in Sydney Hospital in danger of her life, Mr. Frank Malin, a hitherto obscure engineer, would not have been-= moved to invent the wonderful instrument that safely performed the delicate operation of removing the pin, and which will be invaluable to science for all time.
