peculInritles of Lichens.

The lichen is remarkable for the great
age to which 1t lives, there being good
grounds for believing that they endure
as long as hundred years. Their
growth is exceedingly slow, almost be-
yond belief, indicating that only little
nourishment is necessary to keep them
alive. In dry time they have the pow
en- to suspend growth altogether, renew
ing 1t again at the fall of rain This
popularity alone is enough to make the
lichen vegetable wonder, as 1t is a
property possessed by no other species
of plant. Another interesting fact about
lichens is that they grow only where
the air is free from dust and smoke.
They may be said to be sure indica-
ton of the purity OF the air, as they are
never found growing in cities and
towns, where the atmosphere is impreg-
mated with dust, SCOT, smoke and other
impurities.

which they are assisted in breaking
out of the shell. This prominence be-
comes opposed to the shell at various
points in line extending all around
the egg at about one-third of the eggs
length from the large end 1t makes a
series Of little holes, thus weakening
the shell, and when the chick arrives
at certain stage of strength and de-

is Matched, but on the pigeon and birds
that are fed by their parents 1t some
times remains for two weeks.
