Waterproof Glue

Casein CLUES are exceedingly re-
sistant to the action of water and
retain a very high percentage Of
their original strength, even after
long immersion under water. They
are comparatively inexpensive, and
the materials from which they are
made are readily available in the
market. They are applied cold and
will set without the application Of
heat. ~:

Meaning of the Name Ida

Ida and Ada are practically
Synonymous. In early times, how
ever, Ada. was believed to be de-
rived fro :, Adah, meaning orna-
ment, and the name Adah was
given to the wife of Lamech in the
Old Testament. But later etymo-
logical authorities believe that
Ada is merely Latinized form of
Fad, nearing happy or rich, and
the same as the German Ida. Ida's
gem Is the turquoise.

Insects OF, Plants

Healthy plants well cared for
are not likely to be much troubled
by insects, but if any do appear,
try first the effect of cold water
forcibly sprayed on or, with large
leaved plants, applied with a
sponge. This failing, nicotine
spray, which you can get anywhere
that garden supplies are sold, ought
to. serve the purpose. Whale oil
soap is an old and standard rem
edy,. but it's odor and application
are almost equally unpleasant. and
you will probably wish to try other
means. 4

Annual HaUesting Of
Birds Nests in Sian,

One of the important features OF
the export trade of Siam is the
birds nest industry. According to
the latest available figures, the
shipments for: one year amounted
To nearly 10000, the value of which
was more than $4,000.
= The greater part of the Siamese
nests go to China, HOngkOng and
Singapore. The value of these nests
lies, of course, in the fact that they
are edible. They are considered q
great delicacy in the Far East.
The nests are found in the is
lands off the Siamese coast and are
the products of a species of bird
pertaining to the swift tribe. ., The
harvesting of the nests. occurs dur
ing the period from April to- Sep
tember.N
=: In the, construction of the, nest
the female bird plays the leading
part, although some assistance is
lent by the male. About three
months is consumed in the build
ing of the first nest. 1t is taken
by the hunters before the eggs are
laid, ThereupOn the birds proceed
to the construction of another nest,
which, however, is finished in about
thirty days. When this Is taken
the birds begin a third nest and
again they take three months for
construction. In this nest they are
allowed to rear their young. But
when the young have flown this
nest also is taken.
Those nests that are taken at
the beginning of the season are
deemed to be the best in quality.
The Chinese not only hold these
nests in high esteem as a. table
delicacy, but they contend that
they possess high tonic properties.

Contrary to general belief, says
Pulcher, accidents on the highway
are caused not so much by trucks

motorists, who possessing a car

speed than they can safely use,
