lichen thus obtains more and more
food, quickly fills the tiny cleft, and
begins to spread over the smooth
surface of the rock. Before long,
the latter is entirely covered with
the gray. yellow and brown crusts of
the different kinds. At first thought
the lichen crust seems TO protect the
rock from further weathering. 1t
really promotes the latter by increas-
ing the amount of water in the
cracks, and hence the crumbling eff
feet of heat and cold. Lichens also
form an acid which acts upon the
rock surface and hastens the process,
which causes it to crumble. After
many years, the oldest parts of the
crust itself begin to decay, and mix
with the rock dust to form an ex-
tremely thin layer of SOIL
Upon the soil formed by the crust
liehens appear larger leaf-like forms
which carry on the same action, but
more rapidly, They increase the split
ting effect due to water, and hasten
the formation of sol, which accumu-
lates to greater depths and soon-fills
the cracks sufficiently deep for the en-.
trance of the smallest herlts especially
the rock ferns. From this point the
breaking up of the cliffs and rocks
goes on with comparative rapidly,
converting them into slipping, roll
ing mass of pebbles, which form the

Amusements on New York Roofs.

Connoisseurs, become expert in tn ,
draught-cnart of New York city, can
inform the curious, supposing it to be
torrid night, on which particular
roof the sea or land breeze will be
NOS. refreshing; or. on a cooler even
ing, where ventilation is combined
with protection; and at such times
the program of the SHOW is apt to be
secondary consideration. There re-
main of course faithful habitues Of
special roofs, and the student of hui
manity learns to classify very sharply
the audiences of roof gardens divided
only by the street: but the from-out-
of-towner is ubiquitous, Second only to

Though thousands of metropolita1s
depart to the mountains, the seashors
or the farm lands, the summer popu-
lation of the city gains an equal vol
ume by an invasion of country cous
ms from all parts Of the continent.
The Westerner, the Southerner and
he from Down East have, with the
Gothamites still in the city pent, a
common solace on the high roofs of
the Rialto district; and, for once sea-
sonably sensible in costume, they meet
on an equality of negligee. This, too,
must be credited to the roof grader

absurdities as to the proper thing

THE PICTURESQUE MODES

Very often when woman tries for
the picturesque in dress she comes to
grief. looks like a fright rather than
a thing of beauty and charm. But
somehow or other the woman of to-
day attains both picturesqueness and
style. She has modified princess and
Empire styles to the right point, styles
are reminiscent of days gone by and
yet keep to a modishness that makes
the wearer feel she is not queer"
The little design here pictured has the
high waist line, the short pulled sleeves,
and uaint, new-old hat that adds the
finishing touch. The lowered muslins,
shot silks, the shoulder capes and
pelerines, help out the picturesque
ness very considerably in the picture
styles of the day-a conglonerate OF
many periods and many lands. An
other revived old fashion is an aid, the
wearing of black velvet throat and
wrist ribbons fastened with quaint bit
of old jewelry or heirloom buckle.
One high-bred dame of our acquaint-
ance, stately woman whose white
pompadour frames, most aristocratic
face, looks especially well in her
black velvet ribbons and diamond
buckles, very like colonial dame
of pedigree and wealth. The velvet
band as a rule matches the gown in
color. black by no means the only
choice. Wedgewood blse is very pref
ty in velvet, and a bright dark blue
becoming against the skin as we'll as a
good background for jeweled clasp.
In the fall fashions we shall find
the picturesque element even more
pronounced than at the present mo-
ment. The Parisians have for some
time past looked kindly on the guimpe
princess. and now we Of the States"
are to follow after. The guimpe prin-

LIcHENs AND FOREST cRowTH

Certain colorless plants, or fungi.
such as the bacteria, molds. grain
rusts, toadstools, etc, which live up
on plants or animals, or upon food
made by them, have found that they
can easily steal food from the green
cells growing on the rock. Such fun.
81 are called lichens. The spores OF
lichens are carried everywhere by
the wind, but they break their walls
and grow only where they find
moisture. II green cells are present
the threads arising from the spores
weave about them, drawing food
from them and finally enclosing them
entirely. The green cells are now
kept constantly moist by the lichen
threads, and consequently grow and
increase in number rapidly. The
