CHARACTERISTIC of an organization which

Among the microscopic states in the

Yet 1t is universally famous. and

Monaco practically has neither agri-
culture nor Industry. Fifty-onc years
ago the country was almost a solitude
A few hundreds of fishermen lived
miserably on the coast. Monte Carlo
did not exist, or rather was nothing
but a tangled growth of shrubs and
cactus, with a few pines and olive
trees. Who. then, first gave life and
then wealth to this savage country.
which seemed vowed to property? The
Societe des Bains de Mer. otherwise
called the Casino, which NJ. Francois
Blanc bought on March 81. 1859. for
the sum of 100000 francs from the
Societe Lefebrem. and which no re-
formed on grandiosc foundations. How.
ever one may grievo or rejoice, there
Is the brutal fact.
To NJ. Francois Blanc succeeded in
1877. his son. NJ. Camille Blanc. under
whose direction the business has con-
tInued to prosper. Does any one want
figures? At the present moment the
S. B. NJ (Societc des Bains de Mer) Is
worth the Formidable sum of $4,000
900 francs.
But this is not all Grouped around
the gambling firm are the hotels of
fantastic architecture the fashionable
shops and the villas. The Grand Hotel
de Paris. which belongs to the s. B. NJ,
represents a value of more than 90
900. 600 francs: the Hermitage and the
Metropolis, run by an English COM
pany. arc estimated Mt about 100000
francs. The total value OF the build :
ing property is 1f7.O0o,000 francs. and
of other property 5O.O0OoOO francs. The
French hold the greater part OF this
wealth (about 10000. 600 francs)
against 30,000,0OO held by the Mona
coans and 100000 by the Italians.
The rest. perhaps 67,oOo,00o. are di-
vlded among other foreigners and
limited companies
The personal fortune orr Prince Al

Princes of Monaco were SO poor that in
order to live they had TO grind down
tleIr unfortunate subjects by taxes.
