snake should strike We all shake with
the same fear as we read that para
graph, and we are made not only to
understand the ways of the cobra and
the mongoose, and to follow their ODD
actions, but to feel the people who
live in India feel, and to think as they
think.
That is what imagination does for
one in a story. 1t tells not only the
facts, but what they mean you are
there, living them, understanding them,
never forgetting them. Will you for
get the battle of Bagheera and Baloo
and the mighty Kaa against the mon
keys in the old ruined city? AS you
read it, you smell the humid tropical
air, you hear the shriel1s and chatter
of the Bandarlog, the hiss of the dis
turbed cobras; you feel the terrific
strength of the python. Also you know
something, after you have read the
Jungle Books" of the way of thought
of the East Indian people themselves
1t all gets into the stories with the
make believe or fairy part, for an ad-
mixture of this quality is the very best
thing on earth to make plain facts live.
We are all using it, all the time; which
is the chief reason why the verse at the
beginning of this article is so true For
we each look at the simplest facts with
those mental eyes of ours, which might
be described as colored lenses, that lend
their tint to everything, and we can
not escape from this. 1t is when we
reproduce things exactly as we see
them through this lens, not when we
try to do without it, that we succeed
best in getting life itself into our
work; for we can only make real to
others what is real to ourselves.-St.
Nicholas.

The Roar of China's Ducks

Tourists in China are always sur
prised by the number of ducks they see.
There are more ducks in China than in
all the rest of the world. Their voices
are familiar sound in every town and
country spot of the sea coast and the
interior of the vast empire. Even in
the large cities ducks abound. They
dodge between the coolies legs. They
fit squawking out of the way of the
horses. Their indignant quack will not
unseldom drown the roar OF urban COM
merce.
Children herd ducks on every road.
on every pond, on every farm, on every
lake, on every river. There is no back
yard without it's duckhouse. There is
no boat, little or great without it's duck
quarters.
All over the land there are great
duck Matching establishments many Of
them of capacity huge enough to pro-
duce $4,000 young ducks every year.
Duck among the Chinese is a staple
delicacy. it is salted and smoked like
ham or beef.
