in popularity during the last week-its ini-

The top trick is one of their curious
feats A vigorous impulse IS given a top
which is placed the end OF small stick
and balanced on the jugglers nose. Then
according to the request of the spectator,
the top suddenly stops again resumes its
spinning. An examination of both the top
and stick will reveal no mechanical con-
trKance.
Another feat consists in receiving on the
shoulders a ball of stone of great weight
dropped from a very considerable height
