TOP SPINNING BY JAPANESE

CIeverly Handled.

Those deft and clever people, the
Japanese. do almost everything they
attempt well, and some things they
do better than any other people In the

little ones hat fly out when the top
Is lifted. and spin away by themselves.
Others pull In a spiral or ladder OF uc-
cessive tops. One draws up into a
lantern. and spins cheerily In that
form.
The methods of spinning are almost
beyond description. Even a very
large top Is sometimes thrown as tho
Australian casts the boomerang. 30

straight toward the head Of the spec

thus the performer takes 1t by the
spindle, apparently stops 1t. sets IL
down and 1t recommences. Turn IL

merrily on its iron-spiked head. h
spinners balance 1t on any kind Oh
surface, round or fat, or the edge OF

One of the most delicate perfor-
mances consists in spinning a top In
the left hand. up the left arm, round
the edge of the lobe at the back OF the
neck and down the other arm into
the palm OF the right hand. Another
Is to toss 1t spinning into the air and
catch 1t on the hem Of the sleeve

A third is to fling 1t UP and catch II

times in succession. But tho mos
