DIR. A. Apellof has tried to knock
the Big Lake monster (storsjoodjuret)
silly, or rather knock it clear out Of
existence, by an article in naturen,
which is published by the Bergen mu-
scum. His theory is that organic re-
fuse is accumulated on the bottom of
the lake, gas is generated in this mass
during the warm season, and all Of a
sudden it breaks loose from the bot
tom and is carried to the surface by
the rising gas. He bases his theory on
actual observations made in Sulda1
lake, Norway. But Jemtlandsposten
protests that this. theory does not work
at all in Big Lake, because the bottom
of that body of water offers no chance
for such phenomena as those observed
in Suldal lake.
