Finish-born botanist William Nylander taught at the university of Helsinki for a number of years and later moved to Paris, where he lived until his dealth at the end of the nineteenth century. During the second half of the last century, he became a prominent figure in the field of lichenology.
Botanists from all over the world sent samples to his laboratory to be analyzed and classified. It can be said without exaggeration that four out of five lichens bear his name.
He was the first to realise the important of using chemical reagents in the taxonomy of lichens. He selected the most common reagents used by the chemists of his time. Lichenologists all over the world still used these reagents, including tincture of iodine and hypochlorite, in their laboratories during the first half of the twentieth century, a Japanese named Arahina added only one chemical product – P - Phenol diamines.
Nylander was also responsible for discovering that the atmosphere of big cities hindered the lichens' development and caused them to disappear. Now they are used to detect atmospheric pollution.
Nevertheless, he considered lichens to be simple plants and vehemently opposed the widely accepted modern theories that lichens are a compound species formed by two discordant elements; algae and fungi.

IV-Giving brief answers
Electricity is the most common form of energy today. In the modern world, electricity is instantly available at the touch of a switch. Electricity has numerous uses. The most common use of electricity is to provide artificial lighting. In factories, electricity is used to light up the work place. It is also used to operate air-conditioners, computers and many other machines. Electricity is also used to power the many appliances that we have in our homes. Such appliances include television sets, computers, electric fans, irons and many others. The list is simply endless. Modern man will most probably lost without electricity.
The large power stations in the world are hydro-electric stations. To generate hydro-electricity, a difference in water levels is necessary in order for the water to flow. A power station is located at the lower level of the water flow. Water flows at high speed through water turbines and spins them around. The water turbines are connected to generators which produce electricity when they rotate. The water will eventually flow into special built dams. When a hydro-electric plant is operating, the water level in the reservoir or high-level lake falls. The level of the water is either restored by natural means, such as rainfall, or by special pumps which pump water back from the dams.
