Mexico Making Use OF Her
Natural Attractions TO
Attract World Tourists

Mexico is making use of her national
wonders to draw tourists to the coun-
try. The department of geology of the
national government is already engag-
ed in beautifying the splendid natural
caves recently discovered near Caca-
huamilpa, in the state of Morales, by
the installation of electric lights and
underground passages. 1t is expected
that thousands of tourists will take
advantage of the opportunity to visit
these caves.
A feature of the caves is their mag
nitude. One underground p assa e,
known as the Paso de la Reformation,
is four city blocks in length, and in
some, places is go feet wide. The roof
is from 20 to 60 feet in heighth, and
the entire roofs of the caves are COM
p1etely covered by stalactitic forma
tions that appear marvellous under the
electric lights.
