THE EDIBLE BIRD'S NEST Demand Exceeds Supply and Comas $25 modlty Sella as High a Pound. Edible bird's nests are found tn the Islands off the coast of Slam and are the products of a species of birds belonging to the family of swifts The nests consist almost entirely of the salivary seTetlon of these birds, whose salivary glands are much more developed than those of the ordinary swift.

The season for the gathering of the nests begins in April and ends In September. The female bird, occasionally assisted by the male, makes the nest. About three months are spent by the birds In completing their" first nest, which is taken by the nest gatherer before eggs are laid In It: then 'he birds Immediately begin to make an other nest, which Is finished in about 30 days, and which is also taken. Finally a third nest is made in about three months, in which the bird Is allowed to rear Its offspring, after which this nest is also gathered. Each family of birds thus furnishes three nests in one season.

The nests taken at the beginning of the season are considered the best in quality Most of these edible nests are consumed by te Chinese, who regard them, not only as a great table delicacy, but also as a valuable tonle medicine in neurasthenia and pulmonary disorders. It is said that the demand in Hongkong for the nests exceeds the supply and that prices range from $15 to $25 per pound, according to quality. Lacked Length of Legs.
