Show The Weplnr Trees. The weeping tree of the Canary T-lnnls T-lnnls Is one of .the wonders nf plant life. It la of the lnure.1 family, and j mlna down a copious shower ef water 1 drops from Its tufted foliar-e. The wn-I wn-I trr Is often collected at the foot of the Itre-i and forms a kind of pind. front whhh the Inhabitants of the neighbor-, neighbor-, hood rsn supply themselves with a bev- ernge that Is abs.lut ly frefih and pore. The water comes nut of the tree Itself through Innumerable pores altusted at the mnrrln of the leaves. It Issues from the plant as vnpnr during the day time, when the heat la euffiviently great to preserve It In that condition, but In the evening, when the temperature has lowered very much, a considerable qunntl'v of It la exuded In the form of llcjuld drops that collect near the edgi of the leaves until these members so bend down under their Mncreaslns; welnht as to pass, for them, the limit of the angle of rrpooe, when the tears tumble off on the ground below In a veritable ehotver. |
