of Covoacm. at place lying on the out
skirts of the wilderness known as the Ped

10y Emperor Montezuma at the time Of The
Spanish conquest. Senior Mercado. one Of
the men engaged in the work, is a lineal
descendant of the last Aztec emperor
Cuantemac. whose statue adorns the priu
cipal promenade of the city. He says that
he has in his possession hieroglyphic docu-
ments which convince him that it was in
the Pedregal that Montezuma hid his
treasures, among other things a huge
golden sun, A few weeks ago a valuable
black pearl was found and also an emerald
near some skeletons discovered in a sub
terranean passage The excavations are
remarkable, having already disclosed
subterranean staircase, winding passages
and vaults, jawbones and skeletons. He
estimates the value Of the buried treasure
at not less than $50 600, 900 but says that
others engaged in the search put it at
5SO,00000O The foremost archRoIogists
here are of the opinion that something
may be found. and they agree with Senior
Mercado that the intrinsic value of the
things buried 10y Montezuma is surpassed
by their historical importance.

nobly, but among so many guests there are
some who would never be invited on "a

that he could spoil what be didn't eat and

HOW TEA WAS DISCOVERED.
An Accident, Like Many other Things of
Advantage to Men,


Tea came into use almost by accident.
Some Buddhist priests going on a mission
arv expedition from Northern India to
China. took with them the dried leave
and also some cuttings of an indigenous
shrub which was said to have the power
of correcting any injurious properties in
the brackish water they might meet with
ON their way The decoction thus made
pleased the missionaries so well that they
continued, as a matter of taste, to drink 1T
after they reached China, and introduced
it to their converts.
They also set about planting the precious
shrub, and, although it did not thrive so
we'll in China as in its native Assam, be-
coming smaller both in stem and leaf,
it was so we'll liked that it soon formed
the foundation of the fayorite beverage
of all China. Thence it was brought to
Europe. to be drunk and desired by Eng
lishmen of eyery degree. And it is only
of late years that Assam tea has come into
the European market, to be looked upon
rather suspiciousiy as the rival Of her own
dereneraied Chinese daughter,

THE Australian system is to be tried IN

be found a success, it Is feared that it will
be found a failure The expensiveness
and cumbersomeness Of the system is likely
to make it a very clumsy method. 1t gives
a secret ballot, but fails to give it under
favorable conditions
