Eatable birds’ nests are found for the most part in the islands of Java, Borneo, Sumatra and the Celebees. The bird which produces the nest is called the Salangane swallow. It flies with wonderful speed and precision, and, on the Javan coast, where the surge breaks wildly against the precipitous cliffs and caverned rocks, these birds may be seen in Their swarms, darting fixed hither and thither. nests are to the cliffs or just inside the caverns. Wkart sort cf a thing, then, is the eatable bird’s nest that the wealthy Chinese are so fond of ? It is that portion of the fabric which serves as a sort of bracket, i a which the real nest, made of grass, sea¬ weed fibres, small leaves, etc., is built. It is transparent somewhat like isin¬ glass. It was formerly supposed that this gelatine-like substance was pre¬ pared other by the bird from seaweed and marine plants; this, however, is a mistake. Dr. Bernstine has found that the glands under the tongue of the bird are of a great size On opening the bill they are seen as two large swellings, one on either side, and these chiefly supply the material for making the brackets. The bird secretes in them a soft drawn gum-like substance, which can be out of the mouth in long threads, and in the air it soon dries and is found to be the sam.e, even when viewed through material. the microscope as the bracket swallow doubtless* [Our New has Engtand similar chimney a pro¬ vision, to make the gummy substances which sticks the twigs together that form his nest.— Times.] Such is the demand for this dainty, and bo high is its market value, that hundreds of men spend their lives in the perilous woik of collecting these so-called nests from the frightful cliffs, precipices and cayerns; and the Chinese spend about a million and a half of dollars ually •«!»" BY DISTRESS W IN BBEAT BRITAIN.
