Edible Birds Nests.

One of the chief experts of North
Borneo, according to recent letter to
the London Standard, is that rare del
icacy 80 highly esteemed by the people
of the Flowery Kingdom, the luscious
and appetizing birds nests. They are
tolerably unvarying source Of revenue
and the caves, if properly worked, are
practically inexhaustible. One cave
alone, Gomanten, produces as much as
10000 per annum. while those at. Bod
madai, in Darve' Bay, are reported to
be nearly as valuable, though, owing to
the claims of the natives upon them and
for other reasons they do not produce
anything like that sum. Besides these
there are eight or ten others, which are
tor the most part either jndifferently
worked or as yet unexplored.
The nests are divided, according to
their color aid purity, into three quail
ities-putih, manas, and etain white,
hrown and b'ack), which, ut a low es-
innate, are severally worth about ST, 100,
$2tW, and $50 per picul Of 1873 pounds.
For the half-year ending June, 1882, the
duties on BIRDS nests exported from
Elopura at per cent. amounted to the
sum of Sl.107. From January /, 1883,
the duty has been raised to 10 I er cent

Typhoid Diseases.

DR.. George Ham .lton, in tAe Medical
Record takes issue with those who as
sumo the conveyance ofgerms of ty-
phoid and scarlet fever. diptheria and
dysentery by contaminated drinking
water, and who do not believe
that sewer gas can spr ad the infection
or originate the diseases. Referring to
the epldemies tn It sometimes occur sud-
denly in cities fed with drinking water
from some common source he says that
their sudden appearance and as sndde n
disappearance cannot be attributed to
the character Of the water except on the
superstition that the water changes sud-
denly from purity to impurity, and vice
versa superstition incompatible with
the delivery supply of water from res
ervoirs. 4 Walled up cess pools, he
says, are common in the city and not
usually found in the country, and the
exhalations from unYentiiateJ and un-
cared for vaults have much to do with
the prevalence of ty phoid diseases.
