THE EAGLE OF MEXICO

An eagle perched upon a prickly pear cactus
strangling serpent-that is the national seal
of Mexico 1t commentaries historic Incl
dent of hundreds of years ago. When the
Nahuatl AZtecs came into Mexico, trying to win
a home from the tribes already settled in the
region, they received a sign from their gods.
This sign was an eagle perched upon prickly
pear cactus strangling a serpent. At that point
their wanderings stopped. They established
themselves the marshy islets of Lake Tex
COCO, confident that they would finally subdue
their enemies and rule the land And SO it
came to pass
The Azetcs, whom the Spaniards found in
the central valley of Mexico. had been pre-
ceded by at least two other races in that region.
The history of the Toltecs is being traced out
little by little by the psychologists. They
erected vast cities, the ruins of which may be
seen today near the present City of Mexico.
To them the name Builders has been given
They were overthrown in the 18th century and
driven south. The ruins Of their new cities are
interesting relics of other times in Yucatan,
Honduras and Guatemala
Their conquerors in Mexico were the Chi
chimacas who first appeared in the region about
the VOLCANOES Popocatepetl and Ixtaceihuatl
Their legends carry their history back nearly
1000 years before the Christian era. They were
displaced by the Aztecs who, presumably, began
their migration In the cliffdweller region of
modern Arizona and New Mexico From their
Islands in the lake OF Texeoco which they con
neeted with the mainland by great eauseways,
they extended their power, by conquest treaty
and intermRrriage. until finally they dominated
most OF the country comprised within the pres
ent limits of Mexico.
In the 18th century Montezuma (wrathy chen
combined the war and priestly functions in his
ehleIalnship. His successor, the second Monte
yuma was seized by COrtez, the Spanish con-
queroF OF Mexico. his younger brother and his
nephew leading the Aztecs against the inyad.
