The pogo" modern form OF
the old jumping stick is the latest

ian children and has already made
its appearance in New York City.
The pogo" was first found in

it. It was a stick with cross
piece on which favored young men
Of the tribe used to perform a cere-
monial dance at sacrificial cere-
monies. The chiefs Of the tribe
took charge Of the 'pogos" between
sacrifices and they We're considered
sacred.
\ French traveller on his return
from Borneo told manufacturer
Of toys about the pogo" This
manufacturer thought it would so
well as toy for children, if proper
" modified. He made it up with
an india rubber pad and a strong
spring underneath the cross piece.
The rider on the pogo" holds the
top of the stick. which reaches
about to the hips, in his two hands.
He then hops on to the cross piece,
one foot on each side of the stick.
and jumps up and down. The spring
under the cross piece gives impetus
to his jump and the ruhSer on tho
point Of the stick makes alighting
easy on the rider. The expert rider
can jump anywhere from two to
five feet with the aid Of the pogo.
He has the appearance Of kanga-
roo hopping over the ground.
