Eggs at $1,000 a Dozen.

THAT is a ridiculous price for such
an egg as this" said London auc
tioneer the other day, when a man
bid $50 guineas for an egg. One of
the company bid another ten guineas,
and as nobody could be persuaded to
go higher the egg was knocked down
for 100 guineas.
The egg which fetched such An
extraordinary price was an egg of
the Great Aulk, of which there are
only seventy in existence. The last
Great AUX died half q century ago,
and there are therefore no birds left
to lay any more Of these precious
eggs. The one sold the other day
was picked up in Iceland sixty-seven
years ago, and was slightly cracked,
which detracted somewhat from its
value.
Probably the highest price ever
paid for one of these eggs was 81 ,575r
which was given three years ago 10
England. Another went for $40,
and a third for $9lS Earlier in this
year as much as 81 ,47O WAS paid f)r
one. Fifty of the seventy eggs in
existence are the property of private
collectors in England, who have paid
for them many times their weight il
gold. The eggs are about the siz9 oi
a mans closed fist.
The total value of the seventy egg'
is about $40 900, or considerably
more than $4,000 q dozen. Thus
their market value is equal to that o.
nearly three and half million new
| laid eggs at two cents apiece
