TOP SPINNING BY JAPANESE
Toys Are Of Great Variety, Both In
sIze and Construction and Are
cIsVerly Handled.

Those deft and clever people. the
japanese. do almost everything they
attempt wen, and some things they
do better than any other people In the
world. OF the latter sort top spinning
is one. The tops are Of great variety
both in size and construction. the
largest Ia more than a foot In diam
eter and proportionately heavy. Some
are solid; others contain a flock OF
little ones that fly out when the top
is lifted. and spin away by themselves
Others pull in a spiral or ladder OF sue
cessive tops. One draws up into a
lantern. and spins cheerily in that
form.
The methods OF spinning are almost
beyond description. Even very
large top is sometimes thrown as the
Australian casts the boomerang. SO
that while It appears to be going
straight toward the head Of the spec
tator 1t returns to the thrower and Is
caught on his palm. When 1t arrives
thus the performer takes 1t by the
spindle. apparently stops It. sets II
down and It recommences. Turn II
upside down and 1t proceeds just as
merrily on its iron-spiked head. The
spinners balance II on any kind oil
surface. round or fat, on the edge Of
a fan. the sharpest Japanese sword
along n thin cord, and after some mo-
ments of unconcerned spinning there
It is tossed on the table. with apparent
carelessness. when It goes on working
unexhausted and inexhaustible.
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 It spinning into the air and
catch It on the hem Of the sleeve
whence It runs down into the hand
A third is to fling It up and catch II
on the bowl of a pipe, pass 1t behind
the back, toss It to the front and there
catch It again.
= large, heavy top is sometimes sci
In motion by rolling the peg in the bigh'
of a cord, one end being held in each
hand. thee flung ten or twenty feet IN
air and caught with the same cord
spinning always. This can be done ter
times in succession. But the most
wonderful display consists in sending
top spinning up rope to the head Of
a mast. and then recalling 1t.

A Real Handy Tree.

Did you ever hear OF a thread and
needle tree? 1t Is rather a handy tree
TO have growing in the back yard.
don't you think? Especially when
there are boys in the house with but.
tons coming OF about every other min
ute.
This strange tree grows in nearly all
tropical countries and in some places
nearer home where the climate is
warm. 1t gets its name by which we
know II from the curious formation Of
its leaves. At the tip Of the leaf there
Is q sharp thorn, which is the needle.
II you grasp It firmly and pull It out,
there you are with a needle already
threaded for your sewing. This fiber
thread is very strong and the Aexi-
cans use It for weaving a coarse kind
Of cloth as well as for sewing.

the box above It, and all present may
watch the proceeding. This'is a very
simple and safe experiment, and 1t
will afford much amusement and set
you thinking, too, how wonderful It
is. What is the reason why the paper
does not burn? The reason Is that
the heat Of the fame is absorbed by
the water SO fast that It keeps the
temperature Of the paper below the
point where 1t can take fire. Virtual
ly the same principle is used in the
biggest steam boilers. So long as
there is plenty Of water in the boiler
the fire will not hurt It, but let the
water get too low and the heat will
be absorbed by the boiler and there
will be an explosion.
