Seaweed Ashes.

THE annual income in Norway from
seaweed ashes amounts TO about Sl07,-
] 200, but It can be doubled. Every
fisherman knows the difference be-
tween alga and tang. Only the former can
be used as raw material for the iodine and
ehloriodic industry; tang is entirely
worthless. But Of the different kinds OF
alga, it is immaterial, or nearly 50.
whether one makes use of the large,
strong stalks or the broad leaved kind;
when the weed Is carefully handled, one
can secure an excellent product. II tang
Is burned with alga the value is decreased
considerably, and all such wares should
be refused. 1t is defrauding the pur-
chasers. who might as we'll buy wood for
coal ashes as those burned from tang.
This has not been clear to the producers,
which is only natural when It is remem-
bered that there have not hitherto been
produced sufficient ashes to supply the de-
mand, and the product, therefore. has
been partly bought without criticism. by
the manufacturers.
Besides being mixed with tang" the
ashes are often found TO be adulterated
by sand and stone. Alga ashes are also
of little value when decayed or rotten
weed is used, or when the weed has been
too long exposed to rain before dried. or
when the fire. is extinguished by salt
water. The best product is obtained, as a
rule. from the cut weed. but weed that is
washed ashore is often very good, espe-
cially early in the year. say in April and
May.
The weed must be fresh dried and burned
