PARADISE FOR BIRDS
WHERE THIEVES ARE UNKNOWN. I Un the fringe of an area of smokebegrimed towns, a correspondent was lately introduced to a paradise of wild life—the little known bird sanctuary at Dewsbury Aloor. Mr Kcrton, manager of the sewage farm there, said that some very rare birds visit him. Ho was much impressed with the appearance of six wild swans, but they stayed only a few days. The more common birds arc regular visitors, and herons and kingfishers are not infrequently seen. Birds net to be found in any jtLtn part of York--1 shire have been reported. Egg-stealers and their like arc tni known at the farm, ana Mr Kcrton keeps a watchful eye on his wardens, which reward his kindness by ridding the laud of harmful pests.
