ARTICIFICIAL EGGS.
The 'New York Sup f publishes a siory that a firm m "jPateraon, -Sew Jersey, is engaged m making artificial eggs, which are very haul to distinguish from the genuine hen fruit, and which sell as readily and for as mnch money. The operation is thus briefly described: — Tue yellow or yoke isra mixture of Indian meal, corn starch, and otter ingredients. It is poured into a ma* chine m a, thick, mushy state, and it is formed into a ball and frozen. In tbig condition it passes into the other box, -where it is surrounded by the white, which is chemically the same as the real egg. This is also frozen, and by a peculiar rotary motiou of the machine an oval shape is imparted to it, and it passes into the next 'receptacle, where it receives the thin, film/skii After this it has only to go into the fih^^r where it gets its last coat, m theHf^" of a plaster of Paris shell — a trifle thicker than the genuine, article. Then it goes out on the drying trays, where the shell dries at once, and the iuside thaws out gradually. It then becomes, to all apj>earance, a real egg.
