A substitute for cotton has been discovered in Japan in a seaweed called Sugamo, or gomo goino. This weed grows abundantly in Japan, where it has hitherto been known as a good fertilising material. In the process of manufacture the weed is boiled in ashy water, and then in water mixed with rice bran; afterwards it is bleached. The Tokio Fibre Laboratory has taken out a patent for the process.
