but not to such an extent. and 1t is evident that
the wasting is taking place most quickly in an
upward direction. Now how are we to account
for the formation Of these caverns?
Among the most common and powerful agents
causing the weathering Of rocks are rain. frost
and wind but at those levels in Corsica where
the rocks photographed occurred the climate is
comparatively dry and hot. There 10 little rain
and practically no frost 1t is clear that what
rain there Is cannot to any extent gain access to
the interior OF these caverns. and the same re-
mark applies to the wind In fact, 1t was our
regular practice to make use of these hollow
rocks as shelters In which to sit when out sketch.

we met with cases where front of masonry had

doors and all complete. and modern man had
again become a cave dweller.
The formation of these hollows remained q
puzzle to US until my son suggested that the
cause might be sought for In much less bolster.
GUS agent than wind. rain or frost. and that, in
fact. where these had failed to produce much i'm.
preston. the hard granite had succumbed to the
continued action Of the gentle dew"
In following out this suggestion. the following
considerations have presented themselves. In
Corsica the sun is very hot during the day. and
the nights are cold by contrast. so that much dew
Is deposited But when the rocks are wetted on
the outer surface by dew rain. although q
minute portion OF their constituents may at first
be dissolved. yet as soon the sun or wind dries
them. these soluble substances are again solidi
fed and in the process some of them at least are
changed into much less soluble condition than
they were before SO that eventually a hard crust
is formed all over the exposed portions of the
rock. and upon this the action of moisture Is very
slow indeed. But where a small hole exists In
the rock the action Is quicker. The inside of the
hole, and especially the upper part of IT, Ia
slightly screened from the sun and wind. the dew
which has been deposited in It is not 30 quickly
dried up. and the dissolved substances do not be-
come much hardened again. This goes on until
quite q little hollow cave is formed which
eats its way inwards and upwards into the rock
The deeper the cavern becomes the cooler does It
remain. until at length the inner parts cooled
down to a low temperature at night remain so
cold as compared with the temperature of the
air that dew Is formed in them even In the day.

dried up. Hence the action goes on continuously

Tschatschak. Servia.--The following
narrative was written by woman.
who was the first of her sex to visit
the Monastery Of Zica. near this city.
She tells Of her experiences In the an.

We got away from Tschatschak at
two o'clock for the Monastery OF Zica,
pronounced Schitscha, which stands
high amid the mountains. Ave kilome-

1907 and Is the monastery in which

door being made for each and walled
up after the ceremony. 1t was here
that King Alexander Obrenowitsch.

1892. and tho present King Peter in
1904.
Two hours more OF climbing and we
arrived at the Cabana OF Studenitza.
before the monastery gates Inside. to
our surprise. all was clean and well
kept the paths. the green turf, the
trees laden with fruit and well cared
for. and the beautiful marble church
itself with It's fine doors and dome. We
were Immediately received by the arch.
imandrite (bishop), the head OF the
monastery, who seemed most delighted
to see US and told me was the first
stranger woman he had ever received.
We were at once taken upstairs into
the guest rooms OF the convent--a long
corridor OF clean boards, the only clean
rooms I had seen since left home.
Here we took tho Inevitable slatko and
very good slivovitx and cabowitz. which
is liquor made from grapes, and
then went into the churches-the first
and oldest. q small chapel Of the tenth
century, full OF old frescoes. In per.

the Turks shot out the eyes Of the
saints when they occupied the con.
vent.
There are fourteen or fifteen small
chapels-one behind the cathedral
built by Stepan Urosch. grandson OF
the holy Simeon. who founded the con-
vent in 1914. The cathedral. of white

We were not to be daunted however, and es.

the eyeball. and as we moved our position the
change Of angle gradually cut of the light which
shone through the eyehole and produced this
startling effect. Reassured by this explanation,
we oraved the sea'lion and approached the main
company. Surely" exclaimed. this must have
been council Of the antediluvians!" for there
on the left was some ancient species of owl
rufling up his feathers and looking askance at
something beyond him. On the right. perched
on higher rock. stood dragon or pterodactyl,
while extended on the foreground was what
might well pass for recumbent plesiosaurus.
The sight OF this strange assembly, however
had given my daughter q very different idea.
She declared 1t only proved the truth Of the old
northern legends which tell how "dwarfs" and
trolls" II caught out after sunrise, are turned
into grotesque rocks. This mountain top was
clearly place where these weird people held
their mighty reves. and. Judging from the com.
pany around many reckless jewellers had evi-

penalty. And here let me say that none Of the
photographs is faxed" or altered in any way
They represent the rocks exactly as they existed
without any alteration whatever The mere out.
ward forms Of the rocks shown in the first three
photographs are indeed remarkable, but we be-
came fascinated with the desire to discover what
agencies Nature had employed in producing such
results In this hard granite. It at first very
puzzling, but light seemed at length to be thrown
on the problem by studying the forms of other
rocks In the island.
Photographs No. (red granite) and No 9
(gray granite) show examples OF remarkable
form of cavernous weathering very common In
many parts of Corsica The numerous caverns
In the mass OF red granite in No. l are each Of
them large enough to accommodate two or three
people. and are Of more or less orbicuar form

erably above this edge Of the outward opening
This construction Is we'll shown in No. 6, an out
lying piece OF gray granite on the seacoast in
which more Of the front has been worn away
My daughter is looking out through an opening
In the side. and this will serve to give an idea OF
the size of the interior. Now both the red and
gray granite are solid hard rocks on the outside
showing no loose particles Of any kind but II you
enter one Of the caverns and draw your fingers
along the roof you are greeted by a shower OF
tiny fragments falling upon you The same thing
happens with some Of the sides OF the interior.
