EGGS ARE A BIG ITEM.



The magnitude of the egg product of
he United States is vaguely understood
by those not directly in the trade. The
leading cities of the country consumed
500, ZOO, 600 dozens last year. Laying
them end to end, they wonld form
Hne 10, ,454 miles long. In other words,
they would stretch around the world
over seven times, and would go around
1t once forming band fourteen inches
wide. The product handled sor daily
consumption last year, at an average
price OF II cents a dozen, makes total
Of over $1OO,COO,OOO. while the value
Of the wheat crop was less than $780,
10000.
Eggs are used In many ways that the
general public seldom thinks OF. If
the hen should stop laying. not only
would the gourmand suffer, but the
arts would come in for large share
Of hardship. The number of eggs used
by photographers, artists, painters and
paper-hangers. bOokbinders. and chem
lists, and In the mechanical arts In gen.
eral, Is something enormous. Even the
poor. despised bad egg has come to be
necessity for certain uses other than
those Of the stage. A few years ago,
1t was discovered that the yolk and de-
cayed parts made the finest prepara-
tons for finishing leather. When prop
erly worked up, the bad egg Is bar
relied and sent to France. Germany and
other countries, to say nothing Of large
quantities used at home. 1t has be
come Indispensable to morocco and Kid
1ressers, as well as to glove manufact-
1rers.

their trade has been badly affected,

history Of eggs, farmers employed
primitive methods for the preservation
Of eggs in store for the winter months,
when the supply IS almost cut off and
the market price abnormally high. In
January the price often used to run as
high as 30 and 90 cents a dozen, while
in the spring and early summer the
supply was drug and dear at from 4
to s cents. The eggs We're packed In
oats or sawdust and also in preserving
fluids. This process was far from sat
isfactory. The preserving fluids had
tendency to weaken the shells. A
process came into use by which the
eggs We're dried by artificial heat and
ground up into the shape of meal for
packing. Such egg meal found favor
with bakers and was practicable for
use on ocean vessels. The cold storage
system of preservation was hit upon.
and it has assumed vast proportions.

carpenters shop and a few more to
get into the postoffice. Before they be-
gin the job they know if there are
any electric alarms connected with the
safe, doors or windows. These are soon
disposed of. The first look at the safe
tells the men if they are going to have
an easy time of it or not.
The Job an Easy One.
The average postoffice safe makes as
much trouble as the breaking of a pea
nut shell. The quickest method is to
drill a couple Of holes, fill them with
dynamite and then touch it off. All of
the skilful men are adopts in the
handling of explosives, and they know
to a grain how much will be needed to
shatter a safe, and just how loud the
explosion will be. When a job is con-
templated, where the safe win require
a big charge of dynamite, the men
tramp about the surrounding country
sometimes for weeks at a time, wait
ing for a stormy night. Then if there
is any laundering the job is an easy
one. To the man who has just been
aroused from deep sleep the crash of
thunder and a loud explosion sound
much alike.
