FUEL PROM THE SEA
EXPERIMENTING WITH SEAWEED The great masses of seaweed washed up around the coast of the Orkneys may shortly become an important commercial asset. Plans have been made to establish on the west coast an industry for extracting from it a chemical substance which, when mixed with coal dust is stated to produce brick fuel of excellent qualities (states the 'Daily News). Collecting depots will be formed along the coast, and it is proposed to erect near Stromness a factory costing £40,000. The Harbor Commissioners of Stromness are stated to be prepared to deepen the access to their piers so that large steamers will be able to load and discharge cargoes.
