. Between 400 and 500 acres of one of England's famous beauty spots, the Isle of Thorns, dn Ash down Forest, Sussex, Was lately destroyed by fire. The out-, break occurred between 2 and ,3 a.m., and at that hour it was difficult to mobilise beaters. Scouts camping close by helped, but the fire raged for some hours. Hundreds of people had picnicked at the spot the day before. It will be j*ears before the natural glories can be restored.
