A feature of Pekin is the vast num-
ber Of crows that are to be seen. Liter
ally there are millions of them. They
are everywhere. They are almost
tame. They hop along the ground
near your feet. They seem to have
no fear. About o'clock every after
noon they start a flight to the Forbid
den city and the air is black with
them. Before dark all the crows in
Pekin are in the Forbidden city and
the buildings there are covered with
them. Those that are open are filled
with them. The various thrones are
roosting places no less than the
roofs and the trees. The obvious rea-
son for their nightly flight to the For
bidden city is that they are never dis
turbed. A superstitious Chinaman
was asked by the stranger: "Why do
all the crows go to the Forbidden city
at night?" "To see the Son of Heav-
en-" he said. "Ah. it is a great thing
to see the Son of Heaven (the emper-
orr. We cannot see him in this life.
No one not an official can go into the
Forbidden city. which is the most
beautiful and most magnificent place
in the world, but if we are good in this
life we can go in when we die and we
can see the Son of Heaven" "But
what has that got to do with crows ?"
demanded the stranger. Everything
in the world" said the superstitious
Chinaman. when a Chinaman dies,
if he has been good his spirit may
enter crow and then he can go in
and out of the Forbidden city when
ever he wants to. He may see the
Son of Heaven every day and may
feast his eyes on the splendor Of
the heaven-sent royalty forever
