PecuIiarities Of lichens.

The lichen is remarkable for the
great age to which il lives. there being
good grounds for believing that the
plants endure for 100 years. Their
growth is exceedingly slow. almost be.
yOnd belief. indicating that only Il lit
tie nourishment is necessary TO keep
them alive. In dry time they have
the power to suspend growth alto
gether, renewing it again at the fall
Of rain. This popularity alone is
enough to make the lichen 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 the air is free
from dust and smoke. They may he
said to be sure indication of the pu-
rity of the air, as they are never found
growing in cities and towns where the
atmosphere Is impregnated with dust.
