On examination the*c eggs were found to be artificial and t have been manufactured by a firm in New; Jersey. The shells were made by a composition containing lime and chalk, the whites of some albuminous substance, and the yolks of ground carrotsand. saffron. The imposition was easilj detected on boiling the eggs, as the yolk and white did not harden separately. \.,, '• ' ■■■■■■■■■■ : ■ ' ■■' ■■: : 'i ;■.]
