Balancing feats may almost be said
to be co-existent with the dawn Of
civilization, and the centuries of prog
ress have left their mark on this gentle
nrt in common with other forms of en-
tertainment, until in these latter years
feats Of marvellous dexterity and skill
have become very common. The Jap.
anese led the experts of the world in
balancing as well as in juggling for
many years, but within the present cen
fury several Europeans, with the aid
of the heaven sent gift of patience,
have become quite equal to the ORR
entails.
Accompanying this is an illustration

in balancing can scarcely be imagined.
