From `his early `youth Coleridge lived in a world or books- and dreams, yet his favorite walk seems to have been theistrnnd, the last place in the world for a poet to lose himself in reverie. As he `strolled down the street he imagined himself swimming the Helies- ` pont, the feat. of which other poets i had written and which the poet Byron was to accomplish later. 0nce,*wh1le the mind of Coleridge was thus V far from the busy Strand, he absently thrust his hands before him in the manner of one swimming. Suddenly '-one hand came in `contact with a gen- tleman's pocket. c . - `nu_- __-_;.I-_.__- .LI_l._I_l_... 1.; --._L-__.- -:';1`-h`e-g~en't'le;n;n', thinking to capture athief, seized the hand and exclaimed: What! so young and so wicked!

The gentleman was delighted with `Coleridge's imagination, which could turn the Strand into the Helles-. pont. The intelligence of the young Leander made the stranger inquire in- to Coleridge s tastes, and when he found the boy liked books` he opened for him a subscription at the circulat-_ (lug `library in Cheapside. Individuality or main. , In studying ditrerent birds of the same species individual traits are con- stantly seen and expressed in strong re- lief. The greatest differences seem to lie in the relative development of their sense of fear. In one Wren family the male never fed the young, and the fe- male never became very tame. What a different state of aairs ,was found at` another wren s nest studied earlier in the summer!
