THROWING THE
ANCIENT DISCUS.
CHAMPION POWERS EXPLAINS
HOW THE PRESENT METHOD
DIFFERS FROM THAT OF
PLAYERS IN ANCIENT
TIMES.

The art Of throwing the discus is one
of the lost arts of the world. We today
may dc fairly well-that is, we nay make
good throws, and some of us may be SO
fortunate as to break records, but there
are none of us who do not often wonder
how Phyallus played the game. OF
course, it is possible that we "a even
be doing better than the Greeks, but the
impression that they were the ideal
discus throwers has become SO general
that athletes have come to look back
upon those days as If they alone pro-
duced wonderful men.
There is something extremely fasci-
mating about this game hat has beer
revived after SO many centuries. Fully
2,4O0 years have passed since Phyallus
died, and yet it has been only within a
so we'll has been taken up again. 1t had
it's re-birth in 1896, on the occasion of the
great International athletic meet on the
site OF the old Greek grounds.
To throw the discus properly is the
hardest of the weight events. 1t is also
the most ~aggravating, for it is possible
for a man to make three throws of equa'
force with every likelihood that there
will be a difference of three feet between
them. At the same time tn principles OF
casting the ancient Greek weights arr
simple and easily acquired. The saucer.
shaped missile is clutched in the palm Of
the right hand. The palm of the hand i.

downward and the fingers are clasped
around the bottom of the discus. The
arm is then outstretched and the athlete
poses exactly the same is in throwing
the hammer.
OLD STYLE.
AS in the old style of hammer throw
ing, a complete turn of the body is made
before the missile leaves the hand. 1t is
then delivered much the same as in the
scaling of a card. and the best results
are to be obtained by scaling the discus
as straight before you as possible. OF
course, in this statement I hay described
my own method, but, as in almost every
game of this kind, methods var in ac-
cordance with the individual opinions Of
the players. Each mar feels the uncer-
tainty of his aim and hopes to devise a
method that, if practiced thoroughly, will
enable him to overcome this disad-
vantage.
1t is impossible for use to tell just how
the ancient throwers of the discus went
to work to achieve the wonderful results
that a been accorded them. If the
critics are correct, however, the ancient
Greeks relied upon strength rather than
speed, whereas, the modern discobolus
has learned to trust in the speed of his
swing rather than in the strength of his
arm. In my opinion, it would be much
easier to make god throw with a heavy
discus in the modern method than it
would be if we followed the ancient way
of playing the game, as the weight is OF
little Importance to the athlete who
swings his whole body property.
1t is only fair to the Greek to say,
however, that the weight Of his discus
is not known. During the excavations
carried on at Olympia some years ago,
about a dozen specimens of the discus
of ancient times were found. To the
consternationof students. they were OF
widely different weight and size. They
varied in weight from one to one-third
kilos to four and three-fourths kilos and
were of various dimensions. They were
made of bronze, lenticular in shape, and
were for the most part uninscribed.
OF course, it might be possible for us
to explain the different weights by refer
ence to the games Of boys of different
ages, and yet 1t must be admitted tina
the question as to whether there was any
established weight or any fixed mode Of
delivery still remains unsettled.

The wonderful top is made of bronze,
looks like the small-sized humming
top the boys buy in the stores for 5 cents.
II was constructed under the direction
OF PROFESSOR Jacobus, who had the pieces
made by several different mechanics.
The top is pun by a string, and the in
ventor always spins it on a plate. He has
a small piece of bronze, which he places
DER the upper end of the rod while he
winds the cord around the same as is
done In a humming top; then he places it
on the plate, holds it firmly by the little
bronze attachment at the head and pulls
the string. AS the string leaves the top
ne removes the attachment suddenly,
and the top spins on
The point of the top, upon which it
SPINS, is about as large as the head of a
small needle. and it is SO. true and deli
cate that the resistance is kept at a mimi
mum. The inside of the top is so bal
anced that When the top ceases to re-
volve it win remain erect. unless It is
Jared. The rod that runs through the
center is abou an eighth of an inch in
diameter and five inches from the sharp
point on the bottom to the smal cap on
the mead. The top body is three inches
in diameter.
The whole secret of the top is believed
tos be in the perfect balance and the
weights inside of the bronze body. The
entire top weighs about four ounces,
and IS wound with about ten inches of
string.
When Professor Jacobus lectures be-
Iofe schools or educational institutions
he has a habit of spinning the top and
uslng 1t to Illustrate the beauty Of a
symmetr1cally developed life.

Of the Matter at the Cabinet Meeting

New York, "a 31.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: "All the
Herald from Washington says: "All the
dent Is to the effect that Great Britain
does not desire mediation and though it
is understood hat the Boer government
Is anxious for peace, the statements
made by DR.. Ieyds seem to favor q con-
tinuance Of the war. The president cer-
tainly will not. interfere urless both gov
ernments ask the use OF his good Offices"
This statement. made by an official OF
the administration after the meeting Of
the cabinet, may be regarded as authors
tatve. Il IL understood that there was
some informal discusc sion at the cabinet
meeting based upon the dispatches and
resolutions which have been received by
The president urging him to take action.
which will bring about an end to the war.
Nhn cabinet is unanimously of the opin-
len that the United Sta les is not concern.
-. in the affairs of South Africa and con-
sequently would have no justification in
intervening. Members of the cabinet say
an effort is being made to make political
capital out of the attitude Of the presi-
dent, whose action in refusing to inter.
ftre is being interpreted in some quarters
es an indication Of sympathy with Great
Britain. The administration, it is stat
ed. has pursued and Is pursuing an atti-
tude of strict neutrality. favoring .nei-
ther one government nor the other.
1t vas said at the state department
THAT this government has received no
communication enclosing SO, 700 for trans
mission TO President Kruger to be used
by the Boer government in the prosecu-
ticn CT The war. 1t is stated by officials
that 1T would be a breach of neutrality
for the United States to transmit funds
which, if intended for the use of the gov
eminent in it's military operations are
certainly contraband and liab e to seiz-
ure.
The agent Of this government at Pre-
torta is supplying the British provisions
with funds placed at his disposal by the
British government. bur the proposition
for the United States to Onward money
to the BOer government is, an entirely
different matter and Secretary Hill will
undoubtedly decline to act as an agent
for any such purpose.

attention of Lord PauncefOte to the re-

A TOP.

A marvellous top. capable of spinning
43h minutes and then remaining erect
and still, has been constructed by Prof.
Charles Jacobus. for many years super
intendent of the New Brunswick IN. J.)
public schools. but now of Sprinfield,
Mass. The inventor of this top guards it
carefully, and never allows it to pass out
Of his hands. He has spun it scores OF
times before scientists in New York,
Philadelphia and many other cities. He
spun it a short time ago before the Bos-
ton Society of Civil Engineers, who de-
voted one hour to watching it. The in
ventor calls it a scientific top, and when
