Algae Power in Space Food and Fuel Plans
Scientists study Chlorella, a one cell algae, as possible food and air purifier for moon voyages and Mars travel. Grown in water vessels with nutrients and light, it could supply daily vitamins and high protein or fat, with potential for soap fuel and methane production though costly now. Researchers at Maryland and UC explore light needs antibiotics impact, aiming for first commercial uses and amid debate over lab versus field yields.

Carving on Boulder Tied to Southern Death Cult Artifact
A 400 pound boulder with a petroglyph near Weyburn is identified by archaeologist Boyd Wettlaufer of the Saskatchewan Museum of Natural History as linked to the Southern Death Cult, an archaeological complex in the northern plains. The stone, found by Victor Mulhall in June 1935, measures about two and a half by one and a half feet and sits outside the museum’s east entrance. The Death Cult, flourishing about four hundred years ago in the lower Mississippi Valley and southeast U.S., shows Mexican Indian influence in its paraphernalia. carved shell gorgets related to the Cult have also been found in Saskatchewan. The Cult is believed to have died out around 300 years ago, with some records of persistence into the historic period in the central plains.
