BEWARE OF THE TREE.
In the island of Grenada, 8.W.1., there grows a most peculiar tree, the only one of its kind in the West Indies. Its. leaves resemble those of the so-called sensitive plant, but whereas the sensitive plant is quite a small shrub, the angry tree grows to a height of about five or six feet. As you approach the tree its leaves begin to shake and the whole tree shivers, but if you venture to touch it, so indignant, will it become that it will bend until the branches touch the ground. At the same time it sends out a most obnoxious smell which forces one to retire. After a. time the tree recovers and becomes quite placid.
