 Mexican Rulers.

That an unknown, highly cultured people. of whom neither history, tra. dition nor legend has preserved any record flourished in or near the val. Icy of Mexico and enjoyed spiced cho colate and aromatic beverages from transplanted tropical fruits grown by them in a marvelously built garden at Oaxtepec from 1500 to 2000 years ago is the latest theory of Guillermo Tellez regarding the recently discov- cred garden of Montezuma
 Mir. Tellez applied to the depart ment of public instruction for a spe. cial permit to make explorations in the garden. He states that concern Ing twenty-one successive caciques on the land with codices in possession of the national museum has led him to believe that the garden has great anti quity.
 He has been devoting q large part of four years to studying the plants found there. Through the inscription he has been able to glean historical data concerning twenty-one successive caciques. Tropical trees. flowers and fruits were transplanted from the isthmus of Tehuantepec and Central America to this garden. and there were grown cocoa, vanilla. Ivrota. yolloxochiti. mecaxochil and another rare flower which gives off it's odor In the night.
 These plants and thier friends wero Ingredients of the delicious chocolates which were the favorite beverage of the Aztec lords when Cortes arrived The garden was visited by Acama- pixtle and llhuicamina. the second named being identical with Monte suma. It is claimel that Montezuma lihuicamina appropriated this beauti- ful garden to his rersonal royal uses and pleasure.
