Getting the Material and Preparing It , For the Feast. i Uninitiated people are apt to think '. of birds' nest soup as a most disgust- ' ing stew of twigs, feathers and what not. As a matter of fact, the nest used by the Chinese is a very delicate, j semitransparent. gelantlnous substance j built by the swallow-like birds known as the salangane. The nests are found : in the islands about Siam and the Ma- ! lay archipelago, and the harvest in a ; year will be about 18,000 pounds, valued at over $100,000. It used to be j thought that the nest was formed of j inspissated saliva secreted by the high- I ly developed glands of the bird. Now ; it is known that the nest is made of a species of 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 collector. The bird immediately sets about the build Ing of a second neat, taking thirty 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 palatable and much resembling chicken soup. Chicago News. Wooden Ammunition. Some years ago civil war was raging between two Afghan tribes, the All Khel and the Mjila Khel. The latter tribe built great' hopes of success on a cannon of such a size that 1C0 men were required to draw it. A Sikh trained in a British battery was engaged to work the gun on the understanding that he received 20 rupees every time he hit the village fort of fo' Th,S dl? pr0Ve rpmum'rl,Jl' l" V .. 7- . wood balls bouud with iron bands, which have a highly eccentric fligbt and are calculated to do about equal damage to friend and foe."

"As a matter of fact, ' continued Sal. "Men don't care anything about women. I've said that before and I say it again. And women don't care for men except for reasons stated in Bernard ! Shaw.

PERPETUAL MOTION IDEAS. Efforts of lnvntor Who Strain AfUr th Unattainable. rerpetoal motion, like the philosopher's stone, ia en of those things regularly sought after. Tears go It was proved that the Idea was absurd, yet only a week or so ago another Inventor came forward with a new perpetual motion notion. Some of these perpetual motion ins-

chine are certainly itreroely Ingen ious. One man thought he had discov ered a way to ran omnibuses by themselves. He had cylinders of water placed Just above the axles, and on these cylinders was supported the whole weight of the bus und passengers. Pipes 'ed from this water to the back of the bus. curved round and ended iu the back board of the bus T!ie more passengers there were the greater the pressure on the cylinders of water and the faster the Bow of i the water to the back of th bus. The ', ftr. too. will the bus rush forward! I At least, so said the tnTentor. who actually took out a patent for his Idea. Needless to say. no such buses are running. Another ingenious Idea was a wheel with narrow shelves Instead of rpokes. On each shelf was a lead ball, and the inventor claimed that once the wheel was started the balls on tbe falling side kept running toward the circumference and so outweighed those on the rising side, which ran toward the center. Once start ed the wheel should keep on forever. Unfortunately It always stopped after a few turns. Pearson's Weekly. Palladium Want Ads Pay.
