UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Yesterday we were speaking about
.ichens, and I said that some hchens
are very small. Hundreds Of them
can grow in space covered by a
half dollar.
Yet there are many kinds of
lichens. and not all of them are
so small. Certain kinds grow to a
height of several inches.
Among the large lichens are those
which are called reindeer moss. "
If 1t were not for such lichens, there
might be no RENDERS in the world.
In the northland, where reindeer
have their native home, quite a
number of plants grow and come to

deer moss in northern parts Of Can
ada and Europe. Alaska also has a
good supply of this moss" Covered
with snow though it may be, 1t
stands its ground and does not
wither away. Reindeer brush the
snow aside when they are hunting
for it.
The idea Of fitting Santa Claus
with reindeer came from the story
of the kindly old gentleman making
his home in the northland. Some
tellers of tales have placed Santa s
home at the North Pole and as a
means Of travel he was given rein
deer.
In the part Of Europe known as
Lapland, reindeer actually are used
to pull sleighs and sledges. They
supply the chief means of transport
In that region.
The Laps tanned reindeer hun
dreds Of years ago. To a large
extent, reindeer take the place of
cattle and sheep. They supply milk,
and large amounts of cheese are
made from the milk. Instead Of
using sleeps wool. the Laps turn
the hides of reindeer into warm
clothing. They also eat reindeer
meat, or ''venison."
On this continent there are native
animals known as caribou" and
they belong to the reindeer family.
They are too wild. however, to be
kept as farm animals. Fifty years
ago some reindeer were imported
into Alaska from Siberia, and these
animals started herds which have
grown greatly since that time. The
herds have been cared for by
Eskimos.
