TRADE IN BIRDS NESTS.
An Industry of Siam That Finds a
Ready Market in China.
From the Engineering.

The birds nest industry forms sin
gular item in the export trade of Siam. and
according TO the Journal of the Royal So
ciety of Arts the shipments during the
fiscal year 1890 amounted TO 177S1 pounds,
the value OF which was s22,Oo0.
Most of the nests went to China, Hong
kong and Singapore. The value of the
nests lies in the fact that they are edible,
though confess we have never had the
opportunity of tasting one. They are
found in the islands off the coast of
Siam and are the products of a species of
birds belonging 10 the swift tribe, and
consist chiefly of the salivary secretions
of these birds. whose salivary glands are
much more developed than those of the
ordinary swift.
The nests are gathered from April to
September. The female bird takes the
leading part in the construction of the
nest. though some assistance is occa-
sionally rendered by the male. The first
nest takes about three months TO con-
struct, and it is taken before the eggs are
laid in it. Another nest is at once COM
menced. which is finished in about thirty
days
Last of all the birds begin third nest,
over which they spend about three months
and In which they are allowed 10 rear
their young. When the brood has flown,
nests taken at the beginning of the sea-
son are considered the best in quality.
BY the Chinese, who consume these nests,
they are thought a great delicacy and
are said also to have valuable tonic prop
critics.

LONDON, May 2O.-The great corona
ton order for the king is rapidly nearing
completion at the Royal Doulton Potter
les, Burslem. The order was for 100000
beakers, which are to be presented to
his majesty's child guests at the great
coronation fete at the Crystal Palace
June 80, and for some weeks past sew
eral hundred pottery operatives at the
Burslem pottery have been helping to
make the royal gifts.
About half a pound of clay, from
which all impurities have first been re-
moved. is required to make each beak-
er, over twenty-five tons of clay being
needed for the 100000 pieces.
The beakers are being decorated, not
with ordinary cheap "lithos,'' but by
transfers from copper-plate engravings
They are of fine ivory porcelain, and
ON each appears special portrait of the
king Tin admiral's uniform) and the
beneath. The portraits were specially
taken and the autographs specially writ
ten for the purpose of these beakers Ir
addition the gifts bear their majesties
monographs, with the inscription: "Coro
nation of Their Majesties, King George
v. and Queen Mary. June %, 1911,
and Presented by Their Majesties
Crystal Palace. June 80, 1911"
The beakers are English throughout
| made by English operatives and deco
rated with English transfers, in English
colors. The decoration is an attractiv,
chocolate color.

Goloshes.
From the Shoe Retailer


Statesmen cannot pay too much attention
to the fitting of rubbers, for half the life
of the rubber is in the proper fit. I be-
lieve in fitting rubbers as large as pos
sible.
Do not stretch a Az rubber over a s
shoe. 1t puts too much strain on the
rubber and 1t will break before half worn
out. Watch and see that the sole does
not project over the edge of the rubber
Do not sell Cuban heel rubbers for low
heel shoes and vice versa We can supply
rubber for almost any heel made today
If you do not have .rubbers to fit 1t Is your
own fault.
Do not sell a motorman, teamster or
any man or boy who gives a rubber hard
use a ght rubber. You would not sell a
light dress shoe for everyday wear; do not
do SO with your rubbers. Watch sales
more carefully and you will have no trou-
BILE with your rubber trade.
Watch the heels of the customers shoes
especially the Cubans. When they get
half worn off no rubber will fit or wear
over them. Suggest that they get them
built up before wearing the rubbers. This
causes a large majority of the complaints
of rubbers breaking down at the heels,
both on mems and ladies' rubbers
Tell your customers not to use their
rubbers like a stick Of wood after they
have worn them few times. for freezing
up on the stoop and thawing out under
the hot stove does not help them any.

THE PAPUAN BRAVE.
A Real Protector of His Wife and
Her Industries.

From the London Globe.
when the natives are young they are
quick to learn and can be taught almost
any kind Of work, and even up to the
time of their marriage they are willing
to learn. After marriage their ambition
and intellectual development appear to
cease; one OF the reasons for this seems
to be that the woman does most of the
work. while the man-being the superior
animal-can see no necessity for further
exertion," says the Hon. ]. G.. Jenkins,
speaking Of Papua and the Papuans. HE
plays the part of her protector to per-
fection while she digs in the garden he
leans against tree with his spear in his
hand. apparently prepared to keep off
intruders, but really because 1T is easier
than doing the digging.
Their wants are small and they gen.
orally take no thought for the morrow
sufficient for the day is the food thereof
so long as the woman provides it. Women
are frequently seen carrying a miscel-
laneous collection of foodstuffs, such as
yamS. bananas and sugar cane in a net
bag swung over their back, and in many
instances podgy infant in natures garb
is perched on top of the provisions.
IF the women are accompanied by
their husbands you will find these gal
liant braves dressed in masculine author
ity and a native spear slowly leading the
way or leisurely following. There is no
necessity for expensive divorce courts to
settle family disagreements among the
natives. II married man finds that
his wife displeases him or if she is too
frivolous or lazy Or does not cook well
or do her garden work properly he SIM
ply turns her out.
Neither is woman very permanently
tied to her husband, for she can leave
him on her own accord: but If she mar
ries again her second husband has to
pay something to her first husband and
his friends. A pig. wallaby. some vans
| or bananas generally settle the claim.
AT one time no doubt all the natives
practiced cannibalism, but now all the
central and eastern tribes have given II
up In the western part it is still prac-
| ticed. and 1t is not safe to visit some of
the native villages there unless properly
guarded and well armed. Life is not
valued very highly by the natives as a
rule. Although they possess a certain
kind OF rough love and affection for one
another, it is rather of a transient char
| acter
IF man dies they mourn for him a
| whole night, but If a woman dies an
hour or two OF wailing seems to meet the
case. Parents sell their daughters to
other natives for small considerable and
| a few sticks of tobacco would be suf-
| fcient to induce married man to pare
with one or more of his wives

Necks and Legs of Animals.

From the Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette.
With few exceptions there is a marked
equality between the lengths of the necks
and OF the legs of both birds and quad
rupeds. and whether they be long or
short is determined chiefly by the place
where the animal must go for it's food.
This is especially noticeable in beasts
that feed constantly upon grass. in which
case the neck has just a slight advantage
in that it cannot hang perpendicularly
down.
Crocodiles, lizards and fish have prac-
tically no necks. Fowls that feed in
the water also offer example of this
CORES pondence between the members
with the exception of swans and geese
and some Indian birds. which gather their
food from the bottom of pools and must
have long necks for that purpose. while
the short legs make 1t more convenient
for them to swim.

MIR. and Mrs. M. Drummond Are the
Losers as the Result-Were Kept in
Cabinet Except When Wearing
Mystery Unsolved by Police-Thor-
ough Search Made by Customs.

New York, Feb. 27.-Mrs. Maldwin
Drummond, formerly Mrs. Marshall
Field, Jr., of Chicago, was robbed Of
fortune in jewels last night aboard
transatlantic liner. Diamonds, pearls
and other gems to the value of approx
imately $4,000 disappeared from her
stateroom on the steamship Amerika of
the Harburg- American line some time
between $3.50 O'Clock last evening and
$3.50 this morning.
The loss was reported Immediately
the liner locked at Hoboken, this aft
ernoon, and the police of Hoboken and
New York are working on the case.
Mrs. Drummond hurried to the Hotel
Plaza, declining to discuss her loss.
The Hamburg American line disclaims
all responsibility on the ground that
passengers leaving jewels in their
staterooms do so at their own risk.
A wireless message sent from the
Amerika as she neared port summon
ed detectives down the bay in tug.
They learned details of the theft from
Mrs. Drummond and began combined
search of the ship and of the crew.
But not trace of the jewels was
found. Mrs. Drummond explained that
except that while she slept at night
she had worn the jewels almost con-
stantly, but had kept them under her
, waist, not displaying them at any time
| Last night, on retiring, she placed
them in a cabinet drawer of the state
room, as she had done each night dur
, ing the voyage. SO far as she knows,
none had access to the stateroom, she
r added, besides her husband, herself and
D her maid. Arising early today to make
: her toilet she was startled to find the
drawer empty. The captain of the
vessel was notified and a quiet inves-
tigation was begun before an aerogram
called police authorities from shore.
Stewards and stewardesses were ques

add to the big surplus of the companies.
Their income from investments in 1909
amounted to 5H million dollars.
Gross receipts of all the express com

to railroads and other transportation
companies, 56H million for operating
expenses, and 5000, $40 for taxes.
The average weight of all pieces of
express handled was 1928 pounds.
Pieces weighing 100 pounds or less con-
stituted 95.01 per cent of the total
number, 74.06 per cent of the total

Valuable Phosphate Beds.

Phosphate beds, believed to be of
great commercial value, have been dis
covered in western Montana, according
to a bulletin from the United States
geological survey.
The deposits are on public lands near
Butte, Mont, which have been with
drawn from entry. pending congressional
legislation as to their control and dis
position. Rock phosphate hitherto was
not believed to be present in Montana,
and it was only in the classification of
certain land by the geological survey
to determine whether they were of a
mineral or nonmineral character that
the area was located.
AS it was not considered desirable to
call public attention to the fact before
the government had opportunity to
withdraw from entry these lands no de-
tailed prospecting has been done. The
geological survey believes that the area
is large, and it is thought that the bed
may be five or six feet thick.
H. S. Gale, who has written pam
phlet soon to be issued by the geological
survey, says of the deposit that they
"are almost, if not quite, identical with
those occurring in the great phosphate
fields couple of hundred miles to the
south, where the beds have a workable
thickness of four and a half to six
feet
1t is the hope of the survey officials
that large areas outside of that actual
ly examined by Mr.. Gale may be un
derlain with phosphate. The possible
tonnage, therefore, may be large, as 6
square mile underlain with a three-fooi
bed of phosphate would contain about
6,760,000 tons.
