The Japanese have carried the
manufacture of tops to a great per­
fection and have devoted much time
to the sport of top spinning. The
tops are of delightful variety, both
in aize and construction. The larg­
est, or father of all the tops, is
more than a foot in diameter and
proportionately heavy. Some are
solid; others contain a flock of lit­
tle ones that fly ont when the top
is lifted and spin away by them­
selves. Others poll into a spiral or
ladder of successive tops. One
draws up into a lantern and spins
cheerily in that form.
The methods of spinning are al­
most beyond description. Even a
very large top is sometimes thrown
as the Australian casts the boom-
erang, so that while it appear» to
be going straight toward the head
o f the spectator it returns to the
thrower and ia caught on hi* palm.
When it arrives thus the performer
takes it by the spindle, sppsrently
■tops it, sets it down and it recom­
mences. Turn it upside down and
it proceeds just as merrily as on its
iron spiked head. The spinners bal­
ance it on any kind of surface,
round or flat, on the edge of a fan,
the sharpest Japanese sword, along
a thin cord, and after some mo­
ments of unconcerned spinning
there it is tossed on the table with
apparent carelessness, when itgoee
on working, unexhausted and inex­
haustible.
One of the most delicate per­
formances consists in spinning a
top in the left hand, up the leit
arm, around the edge of the lobe at
the back of the neck and down the
other arm into the palm of the
right hand. Apother is to toas it
spinning into the air and catch it
on the hem of the sleeve, whence
it runs down into the hand. A third
ia to fling it up and catch it on the
bowl of a pipe, pass it behind tha
back, tots it to tha front and there
catch it again.
A large, haavy top ia sometime»
set in motion by rolling the peg in
the bight of a cord, one end being
held in each hand, then flnng ten
or twenty feet in the air and
caught with the asme cord, a
“ stunt” which no doubt suggested
the diabolo game of today.— New
York Presa.
