  With a little practice, and some briskness of movement, you may be able to break a string of considerable thickness by proceeding as follows: Wind the string round your left hand, so as to make a loop, as shown in the figure. Pass it three or four times round the fingers to insure the solidity of the loop. Seize When the knack is well acquired, one may break the string on two fingers only, by following always the same theory as above. |
