UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Among my friends In foreign lands
Is widely known English artist
Frank c. Pape. He draws pictures
which are printed in books and
also makes some of the pictures
published in our department.
Recently Mr.. Pape sent me an
interesting letter telling about Eng
lands robin redbreast." Here is
what he says:
I believe you do not have the
same kind of robin redbreast as
We have in England Your robin be-
longs to the thrush family while
ours is warbler.
Robin redbreast is by far the
most popular bird in England. and
many stories and nursery rhymes
have been written about him, like
this one: Who killed Cock Robin?'
T. said the sparrow, with my bow
and arrow
Our robin is a little fellow with
sn orange-red breast and pale
brown coat above He is the tamest
and checklist of the birds of the
British Isles I often have one
sitting on my spade when I dig
IN the garden. They like earth
worms and always seem to smell
the newly turned earth. Nobody
dreams of hurting them, so they
have become extremely tame.
The robin redbreasts often build
nests in letter boxes! They have
been known to nest In railway
locomotives.

English Robins

the district got up a petition. They
asked the post Office department to
put another box nearby until the
birds were through nesting, and
this was done!
We have robins nest on the
tennis court at the club where I
play. We have put a wire cage over
the nest. The bird is we'll fed with
cake crumbs and doesn't seem to
mind the tennis balls or the play
ers who rush about the court"
Mr.. Pape did not tell on what
part of the court the robins nest
is located. 1 suppose 1t is under
the net. 1t is true that the British
robin differs good deal from our
robin. Early English settlers were
sorry to miss their old friend, the
redbreast, when they came to this
continent, but they found a larger
bird, thrush with a reddish
breast, to take its place and gave
it the name of robin"
