who spoke before 1t as delegate from

denounced both the fee system of the
state which at least doubles the con-
Wet population of the state and the
lease system which pulls in a like di-

EDIBLE BIRDS NEST
Is In Demand and Often Sells for s25 a
Pound

f rom United States Consular Reports.
Edible birds nests are found in the
islands Off the coast of Siam and are
the products of species of birds belong
ing to the family of swifts. The nests
consist almost entirely of the salivary
secretion of these birds, whose salivary
glands are much more developed than
those of the ordinary swift. The season
for the gathering of the nests begins in
April and ends in September.
The female bird, occasionally assisted
by the male, makes the nest. About
three months are spent by the birds in
completing their first nest, which is taken
by the nest gatherer before eggs are laid
in it, then the birds Immediately begin
to make another nest. which is finished
in about 80 days, and which is also taken.
Finally a third nest is made in about
three months, In which the bird is allowed
to rear its offspring, after which this nest
is also gathered Each family of birds
thus furnishes three nests in one season.
season are considered the best in quality.
Most of these edible nests are con-
sumed by the Chinese, who regard them,
not only as a great table delicacy, but
also as a valuable tonic medicine in neu-
rasthenia and pulmonary disorders. 1t is
said that the demand in Hongkong for
the nests exceeds the supply and that
prices range from SIS to $25 per pound,
according to quality.

BIRMINGHAM Is GREAT

From the Walker County News.

This tremendous growth shows an in
crease of 245.4 per cent over 10 years
ago, when the city boosted a population

Birmingham is thrilled with joy at her
own advancement, and all Alabama is
proud of her magnificent achievements.
To some of us who have been closely
identified with her people and watched
with interest the onward march of Biz
mingham since 1880. when she firse be-
gan to assume urban proportion, these is
no cause for surprise, because it was
made plain 30 years ago that Birming-
ham must go forward by leaps and
bounds. Nature made the promise and 1t
needed no prophetic finger to point to
her achievement wrought by brief years
of time and today announced to the
world.

POPULATION FIGURES

From the Memphis News Scimitar.
The census returns give to Birmingham
population of nearly 133,O0O a gain of
almost $50 per cent. At least, such goes
out to the world. 1t is by no means
taken advantage of similar fallacies,
and Birmingham will not be denied the
boost which its alleged increase is sup
posed to entitle it. Birmingham has
grown steadily and rapidly, bat dur
ing the past decade has taken into the
corporate limits all of the mining towns
which lie outside the city. and, indeed,
pretty much all of Jefferson county. The
true growth of Birmingham will be
known when the population of the county
is announced. Atlanta few years ago,
with that righteousness of nerve which
has for a long while been the city's
main characteristic. enlarged its limits
SO as to make more than % square miles.
An effort was seriously made to include
towns of adjoining counties. Atlanta by
such methods comes forward With 154,-
900, which is a great increase. Nashville's
population has not yet been announced.
Since the last census Nashville added
Waverly. West Nashville, Eastland and
other suburban settlements. having pop
ulation all together of from 1900 to %,
900. Nashville has had steady but not
phenomenal growth. and will doubtless
class along with Richmond. and near
Birmingham The corporation includes II
square miles. Memphis has done veEy
little charging. Its area is 10 square
miles, considerably less than Atlanta and
Birmingham. and but little more than
Nashville. The growth of this city has
been apparently great. Building records
establish this fact. as our commercial
reports. clearing house figures. assess
ment books and such prove the pros
perity of Memphis. No indications have
been given out as to this city's pop
ulation, but there will be some disap-
pointment if we do not pass Atlanta. Our
growth, however, whatever the census
figures, has been pronounced In every
way. The Memphis of 1910 is a far larger
and stronger. healthier and more pros
porous city than the Memphis of 1900. Our
| people are assured of it's destiny, and are
| pulling together for still greater things
| during the new decade.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-10-06

From the Omaha Bee.
Birmingham, Ala, has a population of
,e5S; in 1900 it had S,415. Its growth
in ten years is 245.4 per cent, the largest
OF any American city as thus far dis
closed by the census. 1t stands out as
the typical representative of the new
south. the product of awakened industry.
Its increase is a little too great to be
taken as fairly representative of the
entire south, though there are Atlanta,
Dallas, San Antonio Houston, Fort
Worth, Chattanooga, Memphis and other
southern cities showing immense strides,
both in industry and population. as indi-
eatfve of the prodigious advancement In
that section,
But Birmingham had the natural re-
sources Immediately at its door to afford
1t opportunity to become the Pittsburg of
the south in the steel and iron trade.
Northern science and capital soon discov-
cred this and took a hand in developing
these resources. Yet the credit belongs
to Birmingham. AS a town it was only
laid out in 1871 and Incorporated year
later with less than 1000 population. It's
growth was slow until in 1880 it's peo-
pie began to discover its ore beds. In
1890 it had 26,17S and in 1900 3S415, a
gain in those ten years of only 12,237.
These figures. therefore. give us some idea
of what has been going on in Birming-
ham, and not only there, but through
out the south, since 1900, to bring the pop
ulation of that city up to 1865.
When one considers that this new SOUTH
of which Henry w. Grady spoke in 1887,
Is but in its infancy he can poorly esti-
mate what will be the growth of Birming-
ham and few other southern cities in the
next ten years Along with the awakening
in industrialism goes a new era in agri-
cultural pursuits, and vast tracts of land
are steadily being thrown open to new
settlers from other sections and coun-
tries

One-Third Of the Supreme Court

| Under a special act of Congress JUS
tice Moody will on November 20 go on
the retired list of the United States
fsupreme court with full pay. He has
been Ill long time and full recov-
cry seems to be in his case improbaple.
He was appointed by President Roose-
Welt and is a man who Is not much
more than so years old.
The resignation of Mr.. Moody and
the death of Justice Brewer and of
Chief Justice Fuller puts in the Pres
dents hands the appointment of three
members of the highest court. Perhaps
no previous President ever had three
places on that bench to fill at one time.
We say three places, even though Gov
ernor Hughes has been appointed and
confirmed as an associate justice
| II is generally believed that Governor
Hughes will be nominated for the
chief justiceship and that two associ-
ate justices will be selected all three
nominations going to the Senate no
doubt at one time soon after its as
sembling in December. Beyond the
rumored appointment of Governor
Hughes no names have been authorita-
lively mentioned in connection with the
three appointments. The selection OF
Justice Lurton of Nashville last win
ter probably precludes the nomination
of another southern man. One asso-
ciate justice will probably be named
from the middle eastern states and one
from the western states beyond the
Mississippi river.

SIMPLICITY OF AEROPLANES
Frank Fitch in Golfers.

Frank Fitch in Golfers.
MI planes ever since the calendar
" L was invented. Historically, the
machine Is divided into three classes
tumblers, gliders and filters.
The tumbler, the earliest type, was a
mechanical nightmare with fool at one
the speediest of all models attaining a
velocity of 16 feet the first second and
doubling it every succeeding second of
flight. Unfortunately. it always flew
straight downward. The first 1900 years
of aviation were spent merely in trying
to change the direction of the aeropiane's
flight and reduce its speed.
The glider, which was invented a few
years ago, was a great improvement
though still quite fatal The glider had
no motive power, and was merely sup
posed to carry manzfrom the top of a
high hill to the bottom. 1t was success
full. but was SO unexciting that there was
no glory even in getting killed by 1t.
The flier is a glider plus a gasoline
engine. Like the early aeroplane, it is
modelled after the birds. It's slowness
in developing was due to the fact that
no substitute for worms and bugs as a
fuel could be discovered. The task of
translating two pecks of assorted insects
into Tapping power was beyond science
until gasoline, the universal excitement
producer. finally stepped into the breach
It was then discovered that by mixing
one part of gasoline with rs parts of
common everyday United States wind
a violence could be produced second only
to a judicious mixture of Roosevelt. Jack
johnson and gunpowder. When this hap
pened the aeroplane flew. 1t had to.
Aeroplanes now reach speed of 60 miles
an hour in their effort to get away from
the gasoline motors which afflict them
In the summer of 1905 it was sud
denly discovered that the Wright broth
ers of Dayton, O., had been doing cross
country work in an aeroplane for five
years. No one had believed the reports
hitherto, but that summer Mr. Wilbur
Wright took a biplane to Paris and
broke all records except the coming
down speed mark. He carried passen-
gers, cut figure SIS. chased cock sparrows

and stayed up until supper time. repeat-
eddy coming down entirely of his own
accord-this last being an absolutely
novel feat. The Wright brothers cre-
ated an enormous sensation and for
several months were so pestered with
kings, dukes, millionaires and scientistr
that they hardly dared to come down out
of the zenith for meals.
The modern aeroplane is remarkably
simple. Anyone can build one with the
aid of a few stout hickory poles, a little
canvas, some piano wire, a gasoline en-
CINE and a decision of the supreme
court. There are two prominent varis-
ties, the monoplane, which consists mere
ly of pair of wings and a long tall:
and the ,biplane which has two canvas
planes, one above the other, and does
not run SO much to appendages. There
are also a great many try-planes built by
amateurs, but they are not used much
for flying. All over Kansas chickens are
roosting on try-planes and are finding
them most comfortable and substantial.
The aeroplane is now as easy to operate
as a bicycle. We have this on the word
of great many aviators who are still in
good health. 1t is true that the chance
of going over the handle bars while
yearning to steer the fool thing has kept
nervous old ladies and fat gentlemen of
sedentary habits from rushing joyously
into the sport, but to the young athlete
looping the loop over cumulus cloud is
no trick at all. The aviator. must first
see that his engine is sparkling, car
bureting, feeding, lubricating. cooling
and synchronizing perfectly. This takes
from 10 minutes to two weeks. He must
next choose a level. field free of trees,
bulls and spectators. Then, seating him
self in the machine, he places his should
ers against the warping planes. puts his
feet on the rudder lever and the throttle,
puts his head against the tail wager
and attaches the string which controls
the feed valve to his left ear. Then, sez-
ing the steering wheel firmly with both
hands, he grasps the spark lever, the
Ilubricating adjuster, the pump control
and the fire extinguisher, cranks the ma
chine with his teeth and mounts gayly
aloft There is really nothing to it. Rank
amateurs pick it up in few months.

EGGS!

From the Washington Star.
Have the hens all gone on strike, or
have the eggs all gone into cold storage?
One or the other of these conditions GER

at a season OF the year when there Is
every reason TO believe the atmosphere
OF the farmyard is vibrant with the
cachinnatory announcement of fresh ar
rivals, eggs are selling at 40 cents
dozen at retail. The grocer man tells
his indignant customer that he pays SS
cents a dozen, which gives him gross
profit Of a little more than per cent,
not an unreasonable earning on his In

grocer man somebody is getting rich Off
the hens and the egg eaters Judging

that reach the table. the ammonia-cooied
