most interesting ruins, apparently the
remains of temples and other public
buildings. There are many individual
monoliths, erected as monuments of
different sorts, sculptured with human
faces and figures and animal designs,
as we'll as hieroglyphics, which archie
ologists have not as yet been able to
decipher accurately. One such stone
bears a date in Magyar chronology
which has been computed to coincide
with 535 A. D. of the Gregorian cal

which is the largest of the surviving
remnants, is still clear and perfect,

seedless Oranges

The original seedless oranges were
produced in Brazil by means of bud
ding and the orange trees of this type
in the United States all descended
from two imported Brazilian trees.
Buds or budding sticks are taken from
seedless orange trees in spring or fail
and inserted in two-year-old Seeding
orange trees of ordinary type. When
the buds send out shoots the seedlings
are cut back so that only the budding
portions develop.
