Rain Tree.

In one of the Canary Islands there Is a tree of the laurel family that rains down occasionally in the early morning quite a copious shower of tears or water drops from its tufted foliage. This water often collects at the foot of the tree nnd forms a kind of pond, from which the inhabitantsof thenelghborhood can supply themselves with a drinkable beverage that is absolutely fresh and pure.
