The Canary Islands Are Waterless.

The Canary Islands possess not only tho most wonderful climate, but an extremely fertile soil. The only difficulty in agricuMire is the want of watqr. It has lately been' found that there are great quantities bf water in cavities of tho mountains of Teneriffe. An English compan/ has uhdertaken to get it out. They fluid that boring to a depth of 103 feet is enough to procure a large supply of Water. If they succeed In getting an unlimited supply in this way, the Islands which have declined in p osper|ty in recent years, will prdbanly develop greater productivity than hitherto.
