R..u,,fu, Color. Of chinese B,rds.


II il were asked what is the most dis
tinctive class in the Chinese fauna. we
should name the pheasants. Pheas.
ants are native TO the whole Of North.
erp Asia. from the Caucasus to the
Pacific: but nowhere are there so
many varieties. and nowhere does their
decoration show such brilliant hues or
such rich fertility ot natural design.
There must be elements in the soil or
environment Of China in both North
and South which promotes brilliance
OF color. and something very like the
ultimate expression Of beauty Of which
hues and contrasts allow. II Is not
warmth OF climate only. for some OF
these brilliant birds live in the tenn.
perate and cold parts Of the country.
Reeves pheasant. for instance. with
its five-foot tail and plumage Of scales
Of gold. lives in the Geld mountains OF
the North. But In the birds Of China
color is at its purest and brightest. and
In the manufactures and fabrics Of the
country these pure and brilliant colOrs
are equally present. There Is no such
blue. or scarlet. or crimson. or yellow.
or peach-colOr In art rs in the silks and
porcelaips Of China. and 10 no large
birds has Nature betn equally lavish

rangements. as TO the Chinese phcas-
