A Chinese Dainty.
Eatable birds’ nests are found for
the most part in the islands of Java,
Borneo, Sumatra and the Celebees. The
bird which produces the nest is called
the Salangane swallow. It flies with
wonderful speed and precision, and, on
the Javan coast, where the surge breaks
wildly against the precipitous cliffs and
caverned rocks, these birds may be seen
in Their swarms, darting fixed hither and thither.
nests are to the cliffs or
just inside the caverns. Wkart sort cf
a thing, then, is the eatable bird’s nest
that the wealthy Chinese are so fond
of ? It is that portion of the fabric
which serves as a sort of bracket, i a
which the real nest, made of grass, sea¬
weed fibres, small leaves, etc., is built.
It is transparent somewhat like isin¬
glass. It was formerly supposed that
this gelatine-like substance was pre¬
pared other by the bird from seaweed and
marine plants; this, however, is a
mistake. Dr. Bernstine has found that
the glands under the tongue of the bird
are of a great size On opening the bill
they are seen as two large swellings,
one on either side, and these chiefly
supply the material for making the
brackets. The bird secretes in them a
soft drawn gum-like substance, which can be
out of the mouth in long threads,
and in the air it soon dries and is found
to be the sam.e, even when viewed
through material. the microscope as the bracket

demand for this dainty, and bo high is
its market value, that hundreds of men
spend their lives in the perilous woik
of collecting these so-called nests from
the frightful cliffs, precipices and
cayerns; and the Chinese spend about
a million and a half of dollars ually
