When one considers the number of good

that the easiest obtainablc good things

FACTS ABOUT MOSS.

Tho Important Part which 1t Performs
in the Work OF the World.
We are accustomed to thinking of the
lovely moss as one of the ornamentlng de-
vices of nature; a pretty covering for sur
faces that would otherwise be hard and
bare, or else dank and repulsive, and o
graceful drapery for rocks and trees. In
the hundreds of varieties of MOSES which
are known to the botanists, there are many
which are so exquisitely beautiful in them
selves, so delicate in tint and texture, and
so soft and warm in effect, that we transfer
them to our houses for the uses of decora-
ton.
The MOSES, however, perform part in
the work of the world which is more inn
portant than that of decoration In them
nature often makes beautiful beginning
toward clothing utterly waste places with .
soil upon which plants and trees may live,
and which may become capable of support
ing human life
Upon the rocky surface of ledge, in spots
where the force of the sun is least strong,
and where most moisture is found, we see
thin MOSES forming. Gradually they grow
thicker and stronger. The patches that
they have made extend and meet each other
until considerable surface is covered over.
AS they develop, their growths decay, and
a rich, dark mold is formed beneath. The
| seeds of other plants lodge in the moss,
WHICH HUNS JuSLu 1dSt& anu lLlS ulOlSUuT0
makes them sprout and grow, sending their
roots along the layer of mold. A begin
ming has been made for vegetation upon
the rocks. Gradually the MOSES are driven
out by stronger plants, which run their
roots into the crevices of the rock; but the
moss, by its death, makes the life Of the
| heritage that follows it possible.
The grass grows where the moss made
its soft, feeble beginning; the decay of the
| grass thickens the turf from year to year,
and thus makes soil at last upon which
beasts may Craze, or which may be Guilt
waited. Or if, as is more likely, the sur
roundings tenn to make a forest on the
spot rather than a grassy slope, the tiny
shrubs yield to larger bushes, and the bushes
make way for the trees, which, sending
their roots among the rocks, often rend
them asunder.
Perhaps the newest, and, in many ways,
the strangest, use of moss is that to which
the quinine planters have found it may be
put. In taking the bark from the cinchona
tree, from which qIrinine Is obtained, strips
If untouched bark are left, IN order that
the trees may not be killed. 1t has been
found that IL moss iE applied to the spaces
on the tree, which have been stripped OF
their bark, new bark forms; and this new
bark Is actually richer in quinine than the

The ''iubilee cake" presented to
Queen Victoria by the Messrs. Gunter,
the famous Londsn purveyors, in June,
1887, was a triumph of the bakers and
confectioners' art It was feet inches
in circumference, 10 feet high, and
weighed over 800 pounds without the
decorations, which alone were over 800
pounds. The design was that of a crown,
guarded by lions and surmounted by a
temple bearing figures of Fame and
Glory, each holding trumpets in their
hands, heralding the jubilee to the four
quarters of the world. These, again,
were surmounted by temples with min
gled figures of Peace. The panels OF
the base were embroidered in gold on
white satin, bearing the royal mono
gram, while between them were figures
in relief representing the four quarters
of the world. Between the lions which
guarded the crown were medallions
bearing portraits Of her Majesty and the
