when the Virgin Mother descended from the

the hill of Tepeyacac. She told Juan that
she intended to become the Patron Saint OF
Mexico, and that she wished him to go to the
bishop at the Cathedral Of Mexico and tell
him that she desired to have church built at
the foot of the hill and dedicated to her.

naSlonS-Spaln, Mexico, France and the United
States-have foated over It's ramparts.
Mexico City is full of interesting places.
Relics of the conquistadores and of the days
of Spanish rule may be seen on every side
History says that about 1926 band of Aztecs
was travelling through the Valley of Mexico
For nearly six hundred years these people had
been wanderers on the face Of the earth and
during all those centuries they had been
searching for the promised land--a place to
build new home Their priests lad taught
them that when they saw royal eagle with
snake in its talons aiight upon prickly pear
cactus. that would be sign that there was the
place for them to build city. And as they
were wandering through this valley they be-
held a royal eagle, perched upon cactus,
holding serpent. This is the origin of the
Mexican national emblem of today. Accord
ingly they stopped for they firmly believed
that their long journey was ended. On an
island in Lake Texcoco they built city which
they called Tenochtitlan. and this is where the
City of Mexico now stands.
Considering the centuries that they had been
homeless, the reign OF the Aztecs over this fair
land was short, for In 1919 Cortez landed in
Mexico Then began of the most remark
able campaigns in all history. The great con-
cuerer commenced his famous march to the
Aztec capital, fighting battle after battle. and
defeating hordes of savages. On November
s, 1919 Cortez entered Tenochtitlan with his
little army and was welcomed BIZ Montezuma
IT. The Spaniards collected great amount OF
gold and other valuables which they were COM
PEELED to leave. for on July /. 1920, they were
driven from the city. However, In August,
1921, Il ey returned besieged the place, and on
the 18th they were again victorious; Lnd the
reign OF the Aztecs came to end forever.
But the great treasures that Fad been left be-
hind by the conQuerors had disappeared.
Circumference, the last of the Montezumas, was
tortured with fire In an effort to make him
disclose the hiding place Of the gold; but in
this Cortez failed, for the lips OF the Aztec re-
NAMED sealed, and the location Of the treas
ure is mystery unto this day.
One of the principal points Of interest is the

The Mexico City of former times was sur
rounded by Lake Tezcoco, the waters of which
were alkaline and unfit for use. Therefore the
inhabitants were compelled to obtain their
water from springs and it was carried to the
city by means of aqueducts. Ole of these ran
along the road to Chapultepec and terminated
at the fountain of Ell Salto del Agu. near Be
lem prison.
