Artificial Eegs.
From the Indianapolis Journal
A Agentleman of this city, who un,tes
a poetical with q scientific turn of
mind, has been experimenting for
some time past with view Of manu.
featuring artificial eggs. The high
price of this Indispensable article
during the winter season, shows that
there will be ''big money" in an ar
tifcial egg that can be cheaply man.
ufactured and which will fill the place
of the natural product.
The gentleman referred to began
by experimenting on the yolk Of an
egg. Having analized this, he found
q rich essential oil, which he claims
that he can extract from cotton seed
at very little expense. This, mixed
in proper proportions with substance
which he declines to name, and col
ored with the harmless matter used
IN coloriug Jersey butter, makes .
yolk which can hardly be distin-
guished from the original.
For the white Of the egg he sue
ceeded in extracting q substance
from coal oil, which, after being
steamed end kneaded, seems to fur
nish almost an exact counterpart of
the netural white of an egg.
He has had more trouble in max
ing a shell than with anything else.
He experimental with paper, differ
ent preparations of lime and several
other substances without satisfactory
results. Finally the idea occurred
to him of mixing pulverized egg
shells and glycerine. This was q
happy thought and after many ex-
perlments he succeeded in getting
the right proportions, and produced
a perfect egg-shell.
He purposes to introduce the yolk
and white through small opening in
the end of the shell, somewhat as
''sugar eggs" are made, and by an
ingeniously constructed revolving
machine he gives the yolk globular
shape and surrounds it with the white
without the slightest admingling of
the two. The contents having been
injected, the orifice in the shell is
closed and the egg is complete.
All the ingredients can be mixed
by machinery, and even the she'll re.
quires scarcely any manipulation.
The materials used are comparatively
inexpensive and the inventor claims
that he can put the eggs on the
market in large quantities at rate
which enables them to be retailed the
year round from six to ten cents q
dozen.
He has taken preliminary steps to.
wards securing q patent, and, as
soon as this is done, will erect the
necessary machinery for the manu-.
facture of eggs on large scale.
