Experimental physics was then

The Marquis d'Arlandes stole a few
hours from court to pursue series Of

EARLY CULTURE IN MEXICO
Existence of Highly Civilized Prehis-
toric People There Revealed by
Antique Pleasure Garden.

That an unknown, highly cultured
people. of whom neither history. ira
dition nor legend has preserved any
record, fourished in or near the Val
ley of Mexico and enjoyed spiced cho-
colate and aromatic beverages from
transplanted tropical fruits grown by
them in n marvelously built garden at
Oaxtepec from 1.500 TO 1000 years ago
Is the latest theory of Guillermo Tel
lez regarding the recently discovered
garden of Montezuma.
Mr.. Teller applied to the department
OF public instruction for special per-
init to make explorations in the gar
den. He states that concerning twen-
iy-one successive caciQues on the land
with codices in possession of the Ma
tional Museum has led him to believe
! that the garden has great antiquity.
He has been devoting large part OF
four years to studying the plants
found there. Through the inscriptions
he has been able to CLEAN historical
data concerning twenty-one successive
caciques. Tropical trees, flowers and
fruits were transplanted from the 18TH
mus of Tehuantepec and Central Amer
lea to this garden, and there were
grown cocoas. vanilla. parota. yolloxo-
chit, mecaxochiti and another rare
riower which gives OFF its odor in the
night. &
These plants and their friends were
ingredients of the delicious chocolates
which were the favorite beverages of
the Aztec lords when Cortes arrived.
The garden was visited by Acamapixie
and Ilhuicamina, the second named be-
ing Identical with Montezuma. 1t Is
claimed that Montezlima Ilhuicamina
appropriated this beautiful garden to
his personal royal uses and pleasure.
