WELL, HERE ARE THE BIRDS
NESTS

NESTS
You have often read about the
Chinese and their bird nest soup,
and Of course wondered what 1t
could be like. The bird nests you
have seen were far from appetizing
no doubt.
Well. here is the bird nest, both
as bird and Chinese use it.
1t resembles nothing so much as
the half of a cocoanut shell, only
that it is white where the shell Is
brown. 1t is light in texture and
several nests are required to weigh
pound.
The nests are collected in the
Malay archipelago. more especially
in Sumatra and Borneo. They are
found usually in caves along the
seashore and are composed of q
substance resembling isinglass,
which is supplied from special
glands in the throat OF the mother
bird, The bird is known as the
Swift.
In China they are made into soup
and in the early stages of cooking
greatly resemble gelatine. They
are esteemed a highly nourishing
dainty by the Chinese, who pay
from SIS to $25 pound for them.
1t is estimated that the Chinese
consume at least sl,000,000 worth
OF these bird nests annually.

CELLMATE REVEALS
PORTLAND MURDERER

PORTLAND, Feb. 5.-The police
believe they have secured posi-
tive evidence that will not only di
rectly connect Joe Anderson, a
prisoner in the county jaily, with
the murder of Harry Logan last
fall, but also with over dozen
minor holdups and robberies. The
evidence was secured through the
testimony of Jacob Hilk. a recent
cellmate of Andersons, to whom
Anderson confessed the murder of
Logan and other crimes. He also
told Hilk where he had hidden his
revolver after the Logan murder.
The police followed Hilk's direc-
tons and found the revolver.

ONE ON MIKE LYNCH

Mrs. Lynch's clever financiering.

do some cleaning up around the
home and was paying him $3.50 a
day. Mike ran the Roman off the
place and promised to do the
work himself for $3.50 day. 1t

days to do the job, but Mike is still
working at it--and still drawing

Headaches

But few people realize the
ultimate results of an uncor-
rected visual defect. Dull,
throbbing headaches and their
attendant tortures are in 80 per
cent caused by eye strain.
Miscorrected eye strain will
progress into diseases far more
serious than eye strain, even
tually leaving one afflicted with
Blephoritis marginatis (infiam-
nation Of the edges of the eye

VISUAL DEFECTS OF
CHILDREN WHO DO NOT
GET ALONG WELL AT
SCHOOL

1t is a we'll known fact among
the medical profession that
many children who do not get
along we'll at school, who re-
ceived bad reports, who failed
to pass their examinations,
were simply hampered in their
work because of a deficiency in
their visual acuity, which, while
not apparent, could easily be re-
vealed on careful examination.
Often intelligent parents will
say: Doctor. there Is nothing
the matter with my child's
eyes" They cannot see the re-
lation of the eye to the nervous
system, and fail to appreciate
the latent retroactive condition
of the eve overtaxes the child's
nerve capacity and brings about
physical and mental unbalance.
1t Is matter of record that
this correction has changed an
apparently deficient, yet strug-
Cling child. into a bright, good
and successful pupil.
We can refer you to cases in
Spokane. People who never

aches torment you. YOU can re-

Just forty years ago a famous French
organ builder. Cavaille-Coll. presented
TO PiuX * a complete plan for the
installation Of two great organs in St.

done during the remaining years of
that pontitcate. The project was again

is forbidden. A guard is placed at the

Dresdeners has brought to their city
millions of money; but still they love
her not. 1t is a noble picture of the
Virgin and Child. originally intended
to ado1n a convent chapel in Piacenza;
but it found its way up here in the

Edison and the HeIicopter.

Not having given any special thought
to aeronautfc problems for fifteen
years, and having considered them only
casually at any time, the inventor of
the incandescent electric lamp is hardly
TO be regarded as an authority on air
shlps. When Mr. Farman was visiting
him the other day, Mr.. Edison paid him
the graceful compliment of disparaging.
the rival of the type of vehicle with
which his guest won the Deutsch prize
last December. 1t is to be observed
however, that the West Orange oracle
is little better pleased with the aero
plane than with the dirigible balloon.
Machines like Mr.. Farmans cannot
hover over given spot, says Mr.. Ed
ison, and hence are to be condemned.
He prefers still another style of air
ship-the MISREPRESENTATION can, ac-
cording to its advocates, remain mo-
tionless enough to furnish an admirable
target for sharpshooters.
The chief difference between the bal
loon devised by Montgolfier and the one
with which Major Renard experimental
thirty-odd years ago is that the former
is fitted only for ascent. while the lat
ter is equipped also with the means of
making horizontal progress. In out
ward form and in the principle by
which buoyancy is maintained the aero
plane is very unlike the dirigible bal
loon, but they both have machinery for
propulsion. Whether they are employed
for sport, exploration or military SER
vice. the ability to travel in a path
almost or quite parallel with the earth's
surface is deemed essential. 1t is
equally so in any other airship which
is to be put to the same uses. In the
helicopter a screw or a pair of screws
direct lifting power Ascent is thus
effected much more quickly than with
an aeroplane, which rises gradually:
but once up something else is requisite.
Forward motion would be secured by
some inventors who have experimental
with the helicopter by shifting the
shafts on which the screws are
mounted from a vertical to a horizon
tai position. Others propose to use sep
arate shafts for the two classes of
work. So little has been done with
either plan in actual practice, however,
that the feasibility of the kind of fly
ing machine favored by Mr.. Edison and
the nature and numbmer of its draw
backs can hardly be estimated as yet.
A question which the designer of the |
vet imperfectly developed helicopter
must answer to himself is. How shall |
an airship of that sort be kept from |
falling when it oncereaches any de- |
sired altitude and a forward motion be- |
gins? If reliance is placed on the lift |
ing screws alone, operated at dimin-
ished speed, something must be done
to insure steadiness in fight, like sup
plying side planes. If the lifting |
screws are called into play for ascent |
only, large stretches of horizontal sur
face would be needed for the sake of
ouoyancy. Indeed, more than one aero
nautic inventor has proposed TO adopt
as his general model the aeroplane, and
then to add an extra set of screws to
help him to rise.

Olympic Games Did Not Draw.
(From the Philadelphia Innnirerl

(From the Philadelphia Inquirer)
Much surprise and considerable disap-
pointment are expressed at the failure
of the Olympic games to attract an
attendance at all proportional to the
magnitude of the scale upon which the
exhibition is projected The English
public has the reputation of being deep
ly interested in all kinds of sports. and
it was expected that the crowds to as
semble at the stadium in Shepherds
Bush, where these international con-
tests are proceeding. would be of rec
ord-breaking magnitude. Why not?
Within easy walking distance of the
stadium is a population of between five
and six million people who are accus-
toned to seek their recreation out-of-
doors. Thousands of them are to be
found wherever any amusement of the
athletic or sporting sort is to be en-
Joyed. AT every first-class cricket
match Lords or Remington Oval is
sure TO be crowded to the ropes Sue
Ger or Rugby football never fails to
draw an assemblage of from twenty
tic forty thousand, while every year
when the derby is run or the university
boat race rowed there will be ans out
pouring of sightseers such as could
nowhere else be DaralIeled.
1t was not unreasonable to suppose
that the Olympic games, introduced
under the always strong recommends
ton of royal patronage and presenting
the very best in every feature included
in the comprehensive program, would
stir the. sport-loving Londoner to the
highest pitch of pleasurabe excitement.
and the only thing the managers of the
enterprise feared was a possible made
quacy of accommodation.
