Mexican Garden Spot
Draws Tourist Interest

FORTIN DE LAS FLORES, Mex
lea, June IA fayorite garden spot
with American travellers in Mexico
is the lovely little town of Forth
de las Flores in the state of Vera
Cruz.
Forth is so named because it
was originally a small fort con-
structed by the Spaniards for their
defense while marching toward the
capital of the Aztec empire. The
"de las Flores" part of its name
needs no explanation for the. tour
lists who beholdS its profusion of
flowers, which are used both for
home decorative and for export
purposes. The visitor can see large
plantations of gardenias, azaleas,
gladioli, tuberoses, white lilies and
cultivated orchids.
Development of Forth has come
about largely through the efforts
of two distinguished Mexicans-
Gen. Candida Aguilar and Senior
Ruiz Galindo, owner of the Ruiz
Galindo Hotel, one of the newest
and most modern hotels in Mexico.
Next to the hotel stands Gen. Agui-
lars beautiful home and nearby
is the handsome hacienda of Senior
Galindo.
From the hotel, tours can be
made to variety of interesting
places, such as the Peak of Orizaba,
the source of the Atoyac River, the
electric plant of the Cerverceria
Moctezuma, TuXpango Dam. the
Atoyac Falls and Caverns and other
sights.
Near the Municipal Building is a
permanent flower display, symbol
izing Fortin's fame as floral
center. From here one can admire
the majestic beauty of the Peak
of Citlaltepetl-also called Pico de
Orizaba-Which is eternally covered
with snow, the highest mountain
peak in Mexico.
Also within easy distance of For
tin are many spots of special interest
and beauty. Between Forth and
Puebla, famous for its colonial
architecture and beautiful churches.
lies Tehuacan, site of the famous
Garci Crespo Hotel, one of Mexi-
cos lovliest resorts. Close by is
Orizaba, a wonderful city construc-
ted IN Spanish colonial style.

Harvesting Of Brazil Nuts
DEPENDS on Rainfall

MANAOS, June 6.-Brazil nuts
grow in Northern Brazil along the
many tributaries of the Amazon
River and are brought down the
Amazon for export through the ports
of Manaos Q,OO0 miles from the
mouth of the river and Para near
the sea.
They are gathered only during the
rainy season when there is enough
water in the streams to permit the
native gatherers of the "castanha de
Para" to penetrate the jungles.
The tree is one of the largest
found in the Amazonian jungles, fire.
quently reaching height Of $50 feet
The Brazil nut itself is really a seed
of the fruit of the tree-a fruit
which is about the size and shape
of a coconut. 1t is protected by a
hard. thick. shell, which is called the
'ourico" by the natives.
Each pod contains II to 30 Brazil
nuts, fitted within the tough shell
like the sections of an orange When
Ine pOOS rlpen, Iney 1dlI 10 tne
ground. Machetes, welded by the
-gatherers, split the pods at the
place of gathering. The nuts are
collected in baskets and then poured
into the canoes by which the natives
reach the groves. BY canoe the
Brazil nuts are padded to central
gathering places called "barracaos.
A 'barracao" is generally a settle
ment, located on a. stream accessible
to motor boats or river steamers,
which pick up the nuts for trans
ferring to ocean-going ships.

Mercury Stands at 40
In Whitefuce Tunnel

LAKE PLACID, N. Y, June t.
There's one spot, only a 36-minute
drive from this Adirondack resort,
where all summer long the mercury
stays at 40 degrees. That's the tun-
mel which leads through the heart
of granite Whiteface Mountain to
the electric elevator which takes
motorists up the Whiteface Noun
tain Memorial highway on the final
lap of their journey to the tip of
the rock-scarred peak.
The tunnel is 424 feet long and
pierces the side of the mountain a
short distance from the end of the
highway, nearly mile above the
sea. It's cool and quiet in the tun-
mel. Electric lights, placed along
the walls at frequent intervals, light
the footsteps of the climbers" on
their way to the modern lift, which
whisks them in a minute to the
summit house which caps the wind
swept spire.
