DELICATE BIRDS NEST SOUP
Some interesting Facts About This
Favorite Dish OF the Chinese
Epicure.

Uninitiated people are apt to think
of birds nest soup as a most disgust
ing stow of twigs, feathers and what
not AS a matter of fact, the nest
used by the Chinese is a very deli
cate, semi-transparent, gelatinous sub
stance, built by the swallow-like
birds known as the salangane. The
nests are found in the islands about
Siam and the Malay Archipelago, and
the harvest in the year 1909 was 49,
900 pounds, valued at over 100000.
1t used to be thought that the nest
was formed of inspissated saliva Sc
GREETED by the highly developed glands
of the bird Now it is known that
the nest is made of a species af alga
gathered by the bird
The season for harvesting the nests
lasts from April until September. It
takes three months to build the first
nest and Just before the eggs are
laid the nest is stolen by the collec-
tor. The bird Immediately sets about
the building of a second nest taking
30 DAYS for the work. This is also
stolen before the eggs are laid. The
third nest, however, is unmolested,
and the birds are permitted to raise
their young, after which the nest is
taken and sold
In preparing birds nest soup the
nest is washed in cold water and then
cooked for eight hours in a closed
vessel, after which it is mixed with
chicken broth seasoned and boiled
for a quarter OF an hour Occidentals
who have tried the soup find it palat-
able and much resembling chicken
soup

Shows Photographs.

Then the witness introduced copyrighted
photographs to prove the truth of his
assertions. Not content with this, he
gave an ocular demonstration in the ho-
tel parlor where the deposition is being
taken. He took a necktie, nearly a yard
long, made of floss silk. He held this by
the upper end perpendfculariy against a
rope curtain. His four fingers pressed
against the end of the scarf and his
thumb, pointing downward, also pressed
against the silk Thus he stood for five
minutes.
Removing his hand the necktie fell to
the floor. His secretary suggested
that the rubbers he wore might be in
terfering. Mr.. Chaloner removed them
and tried again. This time the scarf
hung unsupported for a period of two
minutes. Under his tutelage other
men in the room made the scarf stay
thus unsupported for from five to fif-
teen minutes.
