but not TO such an extent and it is evident that
the wasting Is taking place most quickly in
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 is little rain.
and practically frost. 1t is clear that what
rain there is cannot to any extent gain access TO
the interior OF these eaverns and the same re-
mark applies to the wind. In fact, 1t our

had their houses In the rocks More than once
met with cases where a front of masonry had

doors and all complete, and modern man had
again become cave dweller
The formation of these holows remained a
puzzle to until my son suggested that the
cause might be sought for in much less bolster
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 or rain although a
minute portion Of their constituents may at first
be dissolved. yet soon as 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, that eventually hard crust
is formed all over the exposed portions of the
rock. and upon this the action of moisture is
slow indeed. But where small hole exists in
the rock the action is quicker. The inside of the
hole and especially the upper part of II, is
slightly screened from the sun and wind the dew
which has been deposited In 1t is not so quickly
dried up. and the dissolved substances do not be-
come much hardened again. This goes until
quite a little hollow or cave is formed which
eats its way inwards and upwards into the rock.
The deeper the cavern becomes the cooler does II
remain, oatt at length the inner parts cooled
down to 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
time. They are constantly damp and are never
dried up. Hence TIE action goes on continuously
