Walter Baker e. Co, Ltd, dorchester,
Mnss., have just published a handsomely
illustrated quart0 Of ~ pages, entitled;
COCOA and Chocolate: A Short History
Of Their Production aud Use." 1t contains
a large amount of val uabls and interests
ing matter relating to the cocoa tres and
its fruit; the early use of cocoa and choc-
Olate and their food va ITO as determin ed BY
distinguished chemists and physiclans. In
conclusion sketch Is given of the famous
house Uf Walter Baker & Co.. the Oldest
and largest establishment of Its kind on
this continent. Some copies Of rare old
prints are introduced into tho text ard tho
various stages OF picking, curing, and pre-
pairing tho fruit for domestic use are repre-
sented ty ehgravings from photographs
taken in the West Indies, Ceyjon, and a.
the mills in Dorchester.
Some fresh and interesting figures are
given OH the consumption of cocoa and
chocolate In Europe and America. 1t ap-
pears that there has been remarkable in
crease during the last twenty years in the
United States, England, aud Germany
"thc countries in which the greatest prog
ress is being mado IN the science of nutri-
tisn and in the Inventions which have
done so much to cheaper the cost and inn
prove the quality OF al ticles of food.'
"A recent estimate of the total amount CT
crude COCO exported from the tropical reg
ions IN which it grown, based partly on
official figures and partly on expert esti-
mates is about AS 000, 900 pounds per an
mum. GuayaquiI, Ecuador. heads the list
Of exports with about 81, 500. 600 pounds.
The British land of Trinidad comes uext,
with about 20. 600 0OO pounds.
In Great Britain the amount consumed
in 1881 Was only Of aD ounce for each in
habitant In 1897 lt had risen to II ounces,
that Is about 36OUGa0 pounds. 1t ap-
pears that Cocoa Is actually taking the
place of coffee the por capita use OF the
former having increased about 600 Der
cent. since 1860. While the per capita use Of
the latter has decreased about 365 per
cent.
In the Uuited States the increased con-
sumption Of cocoa in recent years has been
even more striking. The amount retain
ed for homo consumption in 1860 was only
1,1Sl.O54 pounds, about 3-5 of an ounce fur
each lnhabitant. The average annual con-
sumption for three years. 1896, 1897 and
1893. amounted to rs. 3l9275 pounds. an
increase in thirty seven years Of 2, 1870 Eer
cent.
II the increased consumption of the last
thirty -saven years is continued until 1854
and that is altogether probable, in view of
The fact that cocoa is one of the very fcw
articles which contain all tho essentials OF
a perfect food-the amount of crude cocoa
required by this country alono will be
nearly COO0oJ00) pounds. The islands
over which the Sovereignty, or protection,

cocoa can be successfully cullivnted) and
Wo may look for an enormous develop
