Humble SeatUeed Put
to Commercial Uses

If tweed" is to continue as the name
for plant for which no use has been
discovered, then seaweed will have to
change Its name.
After prolonged research, a process
has been found in which seawood Is
utilized In the production of algin and
alglnates. Algln Is substance sim
liar TO starch and gum arabic In its
properties, but In many respects SUI
perlor to either.
With vlscosity fourteen times
that of starch and thirty-seven times
that of gum arabic, 1t Is of greater
advantage than starch In sizing and
finishing fabrics, for 1t fills the cloth
better, Is tougher and more elastic,
transparent when dry, and Is not act
ed upon by acids. Algin will undoubt-
eddy be used in dyelng and color print
ing and In the sizing and coating of
paper.
Seaweed, too, has for sometime been
known as source Of iodine.
