Bird ,slauohter Condemned.

A strong protest Is being made In
South Australia against the continual
slaughter OF such rare birds as the
ibis, the egret. cranes and spoonbills
to supply the demands Of milliners.
The slaughter is Objectionable not
only as destroying some Of the most
beautiful and interesting creatures OF
nature, but, according to the Journal
of Agriculture, also as rendering
South Australia ever moro prone to
plaques Of grasshoppers. and IL a
prime cause of the decline Of its dsh
resources. As the wandering birds dis.
appear the crustaceans that destroy
fish spawn increase the multitude.
