Tossing the Caber.

One Of the strangest and most an.
cient games Of Bonny Scotland Is
throwing the caber, than which there
Is probably no more severe test of
muscle and skill, says Popular Me-
chanics. The game has been played
by the hardy Scots since the earliest
times and is still one Of the feature
events on the programs of all athletic
contests. The caber Is a long section
OF tree trunk, tapered so that 1t is no.
iceably smaller at zone end than at
the other. The man who essays to
test his strength by tossing 1t raises
the pole to a vertical position in his
hands, smaller end down, and then
throws 1t into the air and away from
him. He must make the large end Of
the pole hit the ground and the pole
hit such way that the small end will
describe q half circle. The prize goes
to the man whose caSer, having been
thrown In the manner described, lands
on the ground with it's smaller end
tarthest away from the throwing point.
