A tortilla and a mug of "pul- qua” is all I get from the 'crlada" there; and then back again to the sunny day; the air is soft and balmy; birds lend their song and flowers their sweet odors to the enchantment of the scene. The blue mountains, never more clearly outlined, are on our right, and seem very near at hand; the radio-tow ers of Chapultepec are in the per- spective as we trip lightly over a footpath through the corn-patchJo find ourselves close upon great mounds of freshly upturned earth We are at Professor" Niven's "dig- gings," and no’ ntistake, l notice the carth in fine powdered shovel» ‘uls coming up from out an exca- vation, and soon the cheery voice of the Professor bids me: “Come down and see what I ant doing."
