Government Encouragement.

J<umbo, which, as has already been
said, is made from the giant kelp, is
perhaps used more extensively as food
in Japan than any other seaweed. But
rot far behind it in popularity is the
red laver. This grows in the river
mouths and harbors. 1t fiourisnes best
when under cultivation. TE,re are large
red laver farms ir the Inland sea.
The Japanese government keeps a
careful record of this Industry In 1901
the grounds under cultivation were a
total of 2,242 acres. The output of thess
farms was valued at s23e. .556 and repre-
sented 4,769, 600 pounds of dried seaweed.
Mr. Smith declares that the same sea-
weed which proves of so much profit to
the japanese grows as well. in some
cases better, off the coast of the United
States as it does eff that of japan If
this is true undoubtedly there is a big
field still open ana undeyeloped for
American enterprise.

A New Breakfast Food.

AS a food the giant kelp is used ex-
tensively in Japan, where many prepara-
tons ere made of it, called kombu.
Kombu, says Mr. Smith, If manufactur-
ed in the United States> would meet
with ready sale not only among the
japanese and Chinese here, but among
the Americans. The forms of 1t which
he thinks would be most likely TO ap-
peal to the American palates are the
powders. films. and dried sticks. The
crisp sticks might be broken and served
with milk or cream as a breakfast food
just as oatmeal or shredded wheat.
After the success OF the wheat biscuits,
which probably resemble baies Of hay
more than any other food which has yet
been prepared for man. il is not un-
reasonable to suppose that the dried
sticks would go down with the public.

In Japan kanten is used largely for
GOOD in the form of jellies (often coll
ored), and as adjuvants of soups, sauces,
etc 1t IS also used for purifying sake,
the native wine made from rice In for
eisn countries kanten is employed in a
variety OF ways, although chiefly in
food PREPARATIONS where a gelatin is
required. such as jellies. candies. pas
tries. ard many desserts, in all of
which 1t is superior to animal isinglass.
1t Is also used for the sizing of tex
tiles, the stiffening of the warp of silks.

The Giant Kelp.

Mr. Smith has great hopes IN regard
TO the giant kelp, which he declares is
most remarkable plant, and from the
description which Is given of 1t and the
name attached it must surely be so.
The Nercocystis, or giant kelp, of the
northwest coast is said. when fully
grown. to have a stem measuring 800
feet in length, Which bears at its sum
nit an Gtr bulb. from which a tuft of
upward Of fifty long. streamer-lke
leaves extend, each Of which is from
thirty TO forty feet in length. The
