THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES f. TRACEWELL,

mails open their gills widely, with sinul-
taneous opening Of the mouth. They are,
in other words, distressed. This condi-
ton Is especially taxing on too many
fishes confined in too small body OF
water-a general condition-in the Sum-
mer, for the warmer the water the less
oxygen IL can hold. But sunshine on
plants helps create oxygen!

Fishes cannot live in distilled water.
They need certain chemicals which are
in all ordinary water. Water of rea-
sonable purity, provided it has not been
treated with too heavy concentration
of chemicals, such as copper or chlorine,
Is best.
Excess food put in for the fishes will
"go bad" quickly in hot weather. The
more sun on the tank the quicker the
process
Other forms Of life may be created by
this decomposition. In the days before
microscopes these creations were re-
garded as spontaneous, coming out Of
the "clear air." as it were.
The world knows better now; what
comes must and does come from some
thing. The spores of the new creations

right conditions to give them life.

The watery world of an aquarium In
reality presents the beholder with a pic
ture of battle-ground between fishes, the
largest form of life it contains, and the
plants, fagellate and other types OF
microscopic animalcules, bacteria, mi
crobes, fat worms, etc.
All of these, and more, may be found
In many an aquarium whose owner is
blissfully unaware OF all except the
fishes and plants.
Too much heat and too much light play
their part in giving life to some of these
forms. The sensible thing then, is to
make sure that the sun is not heating
and lighting an aquarium too much. for
where there is much heat there will be
too much light. Both heat and light in
excess are bad.
Medium lighting by direct sunshine Is
best in Summer. 1t is difficult to get the
water below the room temperature al this
time Of year. Whatever that Is, unless
highly excessive, will be all right for
goldfishes and practically all the tropical
specimens commonly kept.
A thermometer should be used to test
the water, and when 1t is found to be
over room temperature, means should be
taken to cut down the amount of direct
sun. We believe in a small amount of
direct sunshine at this season for all
tanks, but only II the owner is willing
to see that too much is not secured.
II one finds this bother or cannot
see to it, the aquarium is best placed
where it gets good, strong light, but no
| direct sun. This is a better plan, all
things considered, than permitting the
| tank to become oyerheated and over
| lighted.
When man deals with the sun he plays
| with tremendous force A little slice of
Nature, called an aquarium, has much
| more possibilities, when it comes to ab-
| sorbing heat and light, than pool or
| stream. The little god of the affair must
| make allowances not only for his own
| ignorance, but also for the powerful force
which he often disregards until too late.

favorlng its development are operative.
They must come and go as the rock
surface is worn down. The mark is the
product of erosion on sandstones so con-
stltuted as to initiate these surface ef-
fects."
Thus far, he says, the "sllnfowers have
been reported only from sandstone sur
faces. Limestone would seem to be much
more favorable to them. but apparently
the natural limestone autographs are
less conspicuous. 1t is apparently a true
etching process, essentially impossible ex-

A Tennessee college has given an
honorary degree, that of Canine Juris-

1t Is perfectly o. K. to give such an
animal a varsity letter or make it an
honorary member of every chapter in
fraternity row. But to many, this latest
procedure would appear lowering of
the dignity of the diploma and the
mortar-board cap. Was not Tennessee

Picture of Old Fort
Peck to Be Hung in
Historical Library

Fort Peck, as it appeared 70 years
ago when early-day settlers depended
on it as bulWark Of safety against
hostile Indians, is accurately depicted
in a reproduction Of q water color
painting received by David Hilger, state
historical librarian, from Arthur H.
Buckly, creator Of the original painting.
Mr.. Hilger will have the picture
framed and hung in the state historical
tell of Montana's arduous journey from
wilderness to a modern common
wealth.
Bottom of Lake
The site of the fort, which crumbled
into the Missouri river about the turn
of the century, is now on the heavily
covered bottom Of the lake to be Gre
ated by the multi-million dollar dam
now being constructed by the federal
government.
The fort, an army post for years,
and the center of seething, colorful and
dramatic life for the first 20 years Of
the gold pioneers period, was named
after Colonel Campbell Kennedy Peck,
a contractor and member of the notable
early-day firm Of Durfee and Peck.
On the top Of the flat bluff above
the Missouri river, the fort consisting
of q quadrangular Stockade with towers,
built in regulation style with logs, was
perched, and the watercolor sketch
of it was drawn by the artist from
photographs of the buildings and stock
ade furnished by the historical library.
The drawing is said to be faithful
and the colors are well balanced and
blended. At one end of the fort was
a small village of Indian tepees. On
the summit Of large hill behind the
fort was an Indian burial structure
and above the hill a v-shaped flock
of geese is in flight. A river steamboat
was anchored on the shore Of the river,
and between the stream and the mound
upon which the fort stood, was street

angles to the shear zone underlying the Alta
mont Antcllne. which would tend to form

STRATIGRAPHY
The stratigraphy Of the Alberta Basin is
shown on the two cross sections accompanying
the map. The two important oil bearing horiz-
ons to date. are the sands OF the lower
Blairmore and the Limestone OF the Madison.
The only logical sources Of this oil Is from
the biogenic shales of the Devonian which
Immediately underlies the Madison Lime. This
shale is some 20 feet thick on TOP OF the
Kevin-Sunburst structure and some 70 rect
thick over the edge Of the Pondera structure.
1t is automatic that a strata thickens towards
the center Of a basin. This Devonian shale
undoubtedly thickens very rapidly out towards
the sink" or "low" Of the Alberta Basin,
which low" lies northwest OF the Spring
Coulee structure. 1t Is, therefore, shown on
cross section A-A as being some $50 feet
thick under the Cut Bank oil field and
'lensing" to an estimated thickness Of 500
feet underneath the Spring Coulee structure
This Devonian Shale generated oil all during
the hiatus OF the unconformity between Madi-
son and Ellis time. and is stin generating oil.
The Madison limestone, when folded, skaters
into innumerable cracks, giving the effect of
an infinite number Of vertical faults. The
oil generated in the Devonian, therefore, can
readily migrate I'D to the top OF the Madi-
son During the unconformity during Penn
