CHAPTER XII.

With rare booty, the spois OF that
nights work, the brigand chief, Gas
parde, returned. little after midnight,
to the cave. He was in an excellent
humor with his multiplied success in ef-
fecting the capture of Rose and gaining
far more than he had anticipated by the
robbery committed that night.
What, then, was his rage and disap-
pointment to learn from the men whom
he had sent back three or four hours
earlier that Rose had made her escaped
He rayed like a maniac; he vowed the
direst vengeance on the faithess guard,
who had disappeared, and on the spur OF
the moment, would Instantly have gone
to assassinate their new prisoners, had
not some quarrel arising among the men
diverted his attention for time. During
this interval he had an opportunity to
become cool, and afterwards repaired to
the cells to ascertain whom II could be
that the man had taken In company with
Jacques, and who wore the disguise of
brigand. His mingled astonishment, rage
and exultation may be easily imagined on
discovering it TO be the Count d'Artois.

OIL COnaunnfion.

For many months the oil consump.
ton Of the world has exceeded the
production, for which reason nnanclers
and merchants have feared a possible
exhaustion Of the oil fields. Reports
published In the Manual Of Statistics,
however, show an extensive decrease
in the stock Of crude petroleum In the
greatest of all American fields, Penn.
sylvania, within the last two years and
figures Of equal authority indicate that
for months the consumption Of oil from
Pennsylvania and West Virginia wells
has been very largely in excess Of
production. The stock of crude Penn.

December, 1900. was ls.1T4,T17 barrels

VALUE OF THE EGG CROP.
Year In, Year ont, It Beats Produc-
tion of Precious Metals.


tion of Precious Metals.
Russia is the largest seller of aggs
In the world She sells to foreign coun-
tries 150,000000 dozen eggs nearly ev-
cry year. In 1896 she sent abroad l.
l75,000, 900 eggs; in 1897, 1871, ,000, 900,
and in 1893 1881 100000. Her sales
are all the time increasing.
China is supposed to be the largest
producer Of eggs In the world. There
Is no such thing as statistics Of poultry
products in China, but there are over
400, ,00O, 900 persons In that empire who
are very fond Of eggs; 1t takes good
many eggs to supply them. The hum
blest farm hut has hens in plenty,
and they do their best to supply the
demand There is little doubt that
China takes the cake as an egg pro-
ducer. Her entire supply is usually
consumed at home, though she some
times manages to spare few for jap
anese consumers.
Great Britain is the largest buyer Of
foreign eggs in the world. OF course,
no English breakfast table is complete
without eggs as complement to Its
toast and marmalade Great Britain
buys every year an average Of 1,60o,-
100000 eggs from about twenty coun-
tries. and this is only 40 per cent Of
the consumption. British hens man
age to produce three-nfths Of the eggs
that the home market demands. In
1901 Russia sold to England 6s9.06S,-
900 eggs, and the next largest sellers
were Belgium. Denmark, Germany,
France, Egypt and Morocco. Great
Britain spent s2e,745,l94 in the pur-
chase of eggs in 1901.
Our entire export OF eggs in 1902
was only 2,717eo0 dozen. valued at
s52S,6Te, which cuts a small figure In
comparison with Russia's total. But
our hens are very industrious, and it
Is only the enormous home demand
that keeps our exports at such q low
figure.
In 1899 there were 233, sos, COS chick
ems IN this country, ana tnes produceo
1.2e3,s1s,144 dozen eggs; and the fact
that we consumed 90 per cent Of them
shows that we are a nation Of egg eat
ers. 1t is enough to make any hen
dizzy to think that 4 train Of ordinary
refrigerator cars containing our entire
egg crop Of that year would have ex-
tended from Chicago to Washington,
with several miles Of cars to stretch
along the track toward Baltimore.
In 1901 the receipts and consumption
Of eggs in New York City were ASIA
900 crates OF thirty dozen each. Chi
eagO has even = larger per capita con-
sumption, or an average Of l,bs1sb4S

slider II in connection with the broilers,
spring chickens, tough and tender, and
roosters we consume, the poultry in
terests assume prodiglous proportions.
The total value of the poultry and
eggs we produced in the last census
year was $2S1,1TS,247. The industry
WAS worth more than all the cattle
and hogs we slaughtered. 1t was
worth more than the wheat crop of
twenty eight States and territories;
and the value of our eggs alone was
higher than that of the combined gold
and silver product of the United States
in any year since 1850, except In 1890,
when the precious metals exceeded the
eggs by $e,41S,125.

Plans for the construction OF a ship
