SPARR0WS' NESTS IN A SHIP
Attracted by Grain and Not at All AZ.
fected by Noise, Birds Make
Home There.

A large tramp steamer had been
towed into a northeast coast port for
repairs. After having discharged her
cargo Of grain. she was placed In a
dry dock. situated In the middle Of a
large ship-repairing establishment,
with all the usual accompaniment Of
noise from pneumatic hammers. steam
whistles, shouting Of men, and other
noises common to all such works.
The grain, of which there ia always
q good deal left about after the holds
are swept up, attracted the sparrows
In large numbers, and, as II guided by
instinct, they commenced to build
nests In various parts Of the ship.
Undeterred by the noise or by the
constant going and coming Of the
workmen. they reared their broods
before the repairs were completed,
and the vessel sailed. This Is believed
to be unique case, for although the
sparrow is a bold bird. 1t needed some
pluck to undertake home building In
such circumstances. The workmen ad-
mlred the pluck Of these bolsterous,
cheeky birds. and watched the proceed
ings to the flight Of the young birds
with great interest.
