Prescott. But, although the soil L

them, which arc kept in place only By
stakes, yet strong enough to sustain
grazing cattle. Further on one meets
wandering strips Of Ycrdure, apprObri.
Ately called Ciutas ribbons, drifting
about wherever the current carries
them, We arc told that in earlier times
these floating fields, with their cargoe.
of fruit and vegetables, were sometimes
wrecked, like vessels, by humping to.
gethCr in gales Of wind, or by driving
violently ashore; aud that robbers and
political refugees have been known to
escape pursuit by diving under tho il.
lusive area, to dob up sersnely' else.

The gardens Of to-day, which literally
supply the markets Of Mexico, arc
formed by the division Of what was
lnce all water, but is now made Garth,
INTO small square patches, iatersectCd
oy narrow canals. The patches arc so
tiny that tho owner, padding around
the borders In his canoe, eau irrigats
