DO you mean to say that you made
that egg without the assistance ola hemp
asked a reporter of Newark egg manu-
| facturer.
Yes" he replied, and ifyou wish
will show you something of our pro-
cess. Gomez
! He led me through room in which
there were stored boxes upon boxes of
eggs, and into another large, cool room
in the rear. Everything was clean and
neat. Several Strengthening wooden
machines, totally unlike anything had
ever seen, stood in different parts of the
room. Six or seven men were opera
! ting the machinery. VIII CHI moved noise

NV conductor to one end Of the apart
ment, where there were three large
tanks or watts. One was filled with a
| yellow compound, the second with a
starchy mixture. and the other was
covered. Pointing to these the proprie-
| tor saidr "Hhese contain the yelk mix
tire and the white Of egg. We empty
tie watts every day, so you can judge Of
| the extent of the business already. Let
NE show YOU one of the machines. You
see they are divided into different boxes
or receptaces. The first an second are
| the yelk and white. The next is what
| We term the skin machine, ard the last
one is the shelter, with driving trays.
| This process Is the result of many years of
experiments and expense. first con lived
| the idea after making a chemical analy-
sis OF an egg. After a long time ! sur-
ceeded in making q very good imitation
| of an egg. | then turned my attention
| to making the Tachlnery, and the result
YOU see for yourself OF course, it would
not be policy for me to explain all the
| mechanism, but III give you an idea OF
| the process. Into the first machine is
put the yek mixture"
"What is that" / asked.
"Well, it's mixture of indian meal,
corn-starch and several other ingredi-
ents. 1t is poured into the opening in
thick, mushy state, and is formed bv
he machine into a ball ana frozen. In
this 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 motion of the machine
| an oval shape is impaired to it, and 1t
| passes into the next Tece ptacle, where
it receives the thin, flimv skin. After
| this it has only to 90 through the shelter
where it gets its last coat in the shape of
plaster Of paris shell, a tritle thicker
| than the genuine article. Then it goes
ont on the drying trays, where the shell
| dries at once and the inside thaws out
| gradually. 1t becomes, to all appearan-
ces, real egg"
GLOW many eggs can you turn out in
dave"
well as we are running now we turn
out thousand or SO every hour"
Many orders"
'Why, bless your soul, yes. We can
not fill one half of our orders. n ii we
can make now are taken by two New
| York grocers alone. We charge $l3 per
| thousand Tor them, and they retail at all
prices from Il to 81 cents per dozen.
| We sell lily to the wholesale houses. l
suppose plenty of these eggs are eaten
| in Newark as we'll as in other places.

| They are perfectly harmless, and as
| substantial and wholesome asa real egg.
| he reason we made the machinery Of
wood is because we found that the pres.
| ence Of me tai OF any kind spoiled the
| flavor and prevented the cooking Of the
| eggs"
Can hev be boiled?"
90 yes" and he called one of the
/ men. Here, jim, boil this gentleman
an egg.
Can they be detected?" | inquired,
while the bogus egg was being boiled.

| They never spoil or become rotten, and
