SeaWeed Thread.

A sea grass that grows abundantly about the shores of Japan has been found to yield fiber. which, properly mixed with cotton, forms thread much cheaper and stronger than one of ail-cotton. The process of remov- ing the rind of the weed, which has been patented by it's Japaneses inven- tor, is to dry the plant, boil it in lye for two hours and cool slowly.
 Washing it in water then separates most of the coverings and the rest comes off when it is soaked Tn water containing rice bran and brought to the boiling point. The resulting fiber after rinsing, resembles cotton and is ready for use. The grass is harvested in the fall and the fiber can be prepar- ed by fishermen. It is expected to have a marked effect on the price of cheap clothing and to improve the dur ability of fishing nets.-Detroit News
