FLOATING GARDENS
DRAW GAY CROWDS
Mexico's Odd Little Isles Of
Beauty Are Center Of
Colorful Fetes.

xOCHIM1LCO, Mexico, Jan. g.
The Floating Gardens Of xochimilco,
which began life as mats Of twigs COW
cred with earth. are at last coming
into their own as travel attraction
of Mexico. They are particularly en-
chanting on Sundays and feast days,
when pleasure-seekers crowd the net
work of canals and lend Xochimilco
an air Of festivity and gayety. Trav-
elers usually hire large flat-bottomed
boats or smaller craft similar to a
Venetian gondola. These are poled
by Mexican lads, singing old Indian
and Spanish songs. Other craft. filled
with happy Mexicans singing and
strumming guitars, drift by and float
ing vendors sell flowers to tourists
Some Of the larger boats carry small
dining tables, laden with food and
drink for their passengers.
The Floating Gardens were the
whim Of ancient rulers. The various
islands were originally large mats Of
interlaced twigs, set afloat. one tradi-
ton says, to please the kings fancy.
Diamond-shaped and sometimes over
100 feet long. they were strong enough
to support fragile native huts and
small gardens of plants and flowers.
As time went on the islands gradu-
ally took root in the lake and soon the
whole area was q mass Of multi
colored vegetation, each plot an isle
of paradise.

Standing as it does for coercion

"As certainly as the despot is still

he has egotistic or altruistic motives
for using State power to restrict the
liberty of the citizen beyond the
degree required for maintaining the

"The altruistic Tory as we'll as the
egotistic Tory belongs to the genus

distinct contrast with the liberals as
defined in the days when liberals
were rightly so called, and when the

At Fort Boqueron, in 1888. he gave
