The lichen is remarkable for the great
age TO which It lives, there being good
grounds for believing that they endure
as long as a hundred years Their
growth is exceedingly slow, almost be-

nourishment is necessary to keep them
alive In a dry time they have the pow
er 10 suspend growth altogether. renew

popularity alone Is enough to make the
Hchen a vegetable wonder, as it is a
property possessed by no other species
of plant Another interesting fact about
lichens is that they grow only where
