There is no more interesting land in

sitter the country itself or the people who
innabit il.
The aborigines of North America, who
once held the territory now occupied by
the United States. fell back before the
advance of the European settlers who
invaded their ancient dominion, and they
are now represented by the scattered
tribes of a vanishing race. But such
has not been the case with the original
inhabitants of Mexico. The Spaniard i'm
posed upon them his language, his laws,
and his religion; but they still survive
as the invincible and indestructible de-
scendants of the Aztecs. Benito Jua-
reg was a full-blood Aztec. and he IS
still affectionately called the little In
dian" And President Diaz reveals IN
all his features the Aztec blood which
flows in his veins, though mingled with a
Spanish strain.
There is reason for believing that the
original Mexicans overcame powerful
tribes who were before them in the land
as successfully as they have with

uuerors. Ancient ruins tell of highly civ

ingly silent as to their origin. AS they
stand today. so stood they when the
Spariards came in the days of the con-
quest" AS early as 1888 Fray Martin
de Valencia visited them. but he could
not lift from their face the mystery
which enshrouds them. They are mem
toned in the old Spanish chronicles as
far back as 1865. and Cogalludo, who
saw them in the middle OF the 18th CEN
tury, describes them as works of "ac-
compished artists" of whom history has
preserved no tradition. Nor can we in
the present age, with all our boasted in
telligence and Wanting knowledge, say
more than did he. We look with amaze
ment upon these remains Of ancient
tribes, but we are unable TO say by whose
hands these stones were carved and laid
so wonderfully together. How were those
great blocks hewn into such artistic
forms and by what means were they
transported from the quarries from which
they were taken to the places in which
they are now found? with what tools
were they cut. and by whose architect
ural plans were they shaped and placed?
AS yet no answer has been found to sat
isfy these questions. They offer the
Psychologists a problem more difficult
than any which meets them in the ruins
of Babylon and Ninevah. The traveller
departs from Militia wrapt in wondering
silence that artisans capable of raising

it's hills and plains, are all quite be-

great lake. The soil is as rich as the
valley of the Nile, ana ii is made pro-
ductive by an immense system of irri-
cation. 1t produces ninety per cent of
all the cotton grown in Mexico, aS II
now stands. and the irrigated area is
to be extended soon by another dam on
the lower Nazas river which is in pro-
cess of construction at a cost of $1,000
a. In the district are five cotton mills
which consume the cotton grown around
them. Farm hands are employed at
about forty cents a day and laborers
in the mills get about fifty cents day.
There are in the district several soap
factories which use all the cotton seed
oil produced there, and much imported
oil besides. One of these factories
claims to be the largest soap factory
in the world. and it's claim seems to be
founded on facts. At the annual meet
