weepins Trees.

In the forests Of Oregon, Wash

bia there Is a species Of tree that has
q continuous and copious dripping
OF pure, clear water from the ends OF
its leaves and branches. This ex-
traordinary sight may be witnessed
at all seasons when the leaves are on
and seems equally plentiful on clear,
bright days as on damp, cloudy
nights. The tree is species of fir,
and the weeping" phenomenon is
attributed to remarkable power of
condensation peculiar to the leaves
and bark of this species of ever
green. In the Island of Ferro there
are many species Of weeping trees"
but in this latter case the tears"
appear to be most abundant when
the relative humidity is near the
