THE GAME OF DIABOLO

the two bobbins run through it.
To. use this double bobbin the
sticks must have two strings to fit
in the groove Of the two bobbins.
When the double bobbin Is twirled
and thrown into the air, the paper
pinwheel will revolve at great
speed and produce peculiar aerial
movements. The bObbIn will at
first shoot upward like an airship,
and then turn upside down and
slowly come TO the earth The sup
porting power Of the pinwheel will
often carry the bobbins several
hundred feet before they return
to the ground.
A slight breeze gives veritable
airship effect to the flying instru-
ment. Two rubber bands such as
used for umbrellas must be fas-
tened to the inserting stick to
keep the pinwheel from getting
caught in the two bobbins.

By George E. w alsh

DlABOLO has become so pOpu-
~ lar in Paris that the Champs
Elvsee was made almost impass-
able thereby. and the authorities
had TO prohibit the fiying spindles
III the Tuilleries Gardens. The
sport spread over the rest OF Eu-
rope. and OF course reached this
country. Upward Of a million Of
the bobbins were imported or made
In this country for the holiday
trade, and in anticipation OF a
more general out break OF the game
IN the spring preparations were
made by the factories TO turn out
millions OF the sets TO meet the
popular demand.
Yankee ShreWdneSs has already
devised many variations OF the
game. Under the name OF aVllo,
q similar game i now being played
Diabolo is not a new game, as some
suppose, but was originally brought
from China. where II may have
been PLAYED for centuries. In the
Orient variations on the game may
be found, and some of these var1a-
tions have now been taken up and
improved upon IN our own country.
How Ii Is played
A S most readers know, dia- -
n bolo IS PLAYED with two
sticks and a bobbin. The
sticks are attached by a stout
string on the end, and the bobbin
IS twirled up and down on the
string. and then hurled into the
air by suddenly bringing the string
taut. The bobbin must be math-
eInaticallv correct for this purpose
The game is played out OF doors by
throwing it back and forth over a
tennis net and catching the SPIN
ning bobbin on the taut str1ng-
Tournaments are conducted IN
France, and already official 4
high scores are recorded 4
Common spools can be con-
verted into bobbins by saving \
off the ends and gluing them
together, or, If a groove IS care
fully made round the middle
for the string, the ordinary
large spool viii answer. The bob
bins made for the game, however,
give the best results, and they are
so cheap that anyone can get them,
and then make the sticks and
strings.
One variation Of this game Is TO
take two bobbins and attach them
together with a stick as shown IN
Fig. I. 4 space Is left between the
bobbins TO accommodate al ordi-
nary paper pinwheel Gig ~ This
can be cut out Of any stiff paper or

The Chinese Used a Parachute

THE Chinese used a primitive
sort OF parachute with the
bobbins. This parachute, made OF
rather stiff rice paper, was closed
and wrapped carefully round one
end of the bobbin. When hurled in
tothe air heforce OF the motion
and the air releases the para
chute, and when the weight OF
the bobbin begins to pull down
ward the parachute opens and
supports the descending weight,
as seen in Fig. 3. Frequently
In China the parachute arrange
nent would hold the bobbin IN
the air for five minutes, and on
a holiday it was not unusual to
see the air literally full OF these
tiny parachutes, carrying their
small burdens along. They were
made of different colored papers,
and the effect was somewhat taS-
cinating.
An American variation in the
\ diabolo game is the construc-
7 ton of a bobbin with a small
WnlSIlt COllCtdItt III OIIN NiiI'
When the bobbin IS thrown
into the air, the wind blows
the whistle and produces a
shrill sound which dies out
gradually to a low murmur as
the instrument descends. As
these bobbins can be hurled to
a great distance in the air, the
whistling of half a dozen OF them
may easily resemble miniature
fireworks as they hurtle upward.
The whistling diabolo bobbln may
in time be followed by the har-
monica and trumpet bobbin, and
the air will thus reproduce noises
that will rival the hurdygurdles OF
city streets

HOW THEY WOULD APPEAR.

Those members Of the legislature
who are pledged to vote for the pop
ular choice for senator owe their own
elections 10 the advocacy Of the state
ment No. ! principle.
At least there are many statement
men who secured office only because
they espoused this popular cause.
Some may have been elected because
OF their personal strength, but all OF
them ran stronger because they swore
70 vote for the peoples choice for Uni
ted States senator.
Since this was the case how would
these men be acting If in January they
should fail to vote for Governor
Chamberlain for senator; how would
they be looked upon by the people OF
this state?
AS the lowest type OF hypocrites
these men would appear. They would
stand as men who advocated a GER
