THE ART OF JUGGLING.
II Demands Much Hard Work and Un-
limited Patience.

ITO be n successful juggler II is neces
sary to possess infinite patience. Some
tricks require such long and continuous
practice that unless man possessed
great patience and unlimited powers of
perseverance he would despair of ever
being able TO perform Them" says Paul
Cinquevalli in the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch. Take a trick. for example. like
balancing a tall glass on four straws
placed on the forekcad. 1t looks easy
enough, but it took me years Of prac-
tice before L could do it. While j am
balancing the glass l also juggle with
five hats at the same time. 1 never, as
a matter Of fact, see the hats. They
are handed to me by my assistant, and
| then set them going, but the whole
time my eyes are fixed on the straws
upon which the glass is balanced. IL
| took my eyes from the straws for a
hundredth part Of second their bal
ance would be upset. ! know instinc-
lively where the hats are all the time
and know exactly where each hat is
when put out my hand to catch 1t.
1t took me close on eight years
practice before 1 was able 10 balance
two billiard balls on top Of each other
and then balance the two on a billiard
cue. l started practicing it an hour
day, as q rule. After a couple Of
years practice one night / woke up,
having dreamed that 1 had performed
it. I got up. rushed downstairs and be
gan TO practice with my cue and two
billiard balls. and at the first attempt /
balanced them. About five years later
l performed the feat in public.
For the cannon ball trick first used
a wooden ball weighing just one pound.
| caught it on the wrong place and was
knocked senseless. but kept on prac-
ticing until l found out how to do IT,
Now use an iron ball weighing sixty
pounds If l didn't catch the ball on
the right place on the back of my neck
it would kill me. but there is no chance

ARTILLERY CURIOSlTlEs.
