STRIKERS pISCUSTED.
Paid $3.50 for tho Five Weeks They
Have Idled Away.

ALBANY, N. Y, September 15.-The
promised financial aid for the men who took
part in the now defunct strike arrived today
Some received $1.25 each and others $3.50
each. The ex-strikers are thoroughly dis
gusted. 1t is:believed that if they should
ever strike again it will not be as members OF
the Knights of Labor because there will be
no railroad men in that organization. The
pittance received for five weeks idleness
has caused them to lose all faith in their
leaders. The latter say the sum distributed
today was only a starter.

Salt Marsh and what May Be Done
With IL.

The richest farming land in Europe was
formerly the salt marshes Of Holland and
those of England. These were recovered
from the sea at great cost and are maintained
at large expense, requiring constant care
and watchfulness to protect the immense
dykes from the ineessant action Of the sea
upon them. The agricultural products OF
the Dutch marshes are celebrated for their
excellency and the London markets are
largely supplied from them with butter and
cheese. These are exported In large guam
titles and the farmers who produce them are
among the nabobs of that wonderful coun-
try.
+ have been often reminded Of these, driv-
,ng os often do among the farms, espec-
iailv among the marshes Of Scarboro and
Snnr,vink. have felt much interest In
,hesa latter. because saw that many hun
dreds ri acres Of them may easily be recov-
cred from the sea at small cost for dykes
and no cost for watching and repairing, be-
eanse the necessary dams will not be ex-
nosed 10 the wear and tear Of the sea.
stopped recently In one OF my drives I'm

many points In that region at which the salt

highway. 1t consists Of a solid filling Of
firm earth in the good sustaining walls Of
heavy stones upon each side, The tide way
Is an open space Of 40 feet crossed by a COM

that point to exclude the sea would be a
simple fence Of twO-inch Southern nina
plank with a mud-sill at the bottom 10 which

at the Top 10 which to make the whole work
fast, with sluice and an automatic valve
near the bottom through which the water

whole cost would not be more than $50, and
many hundreds OF acres Of land would be
redeemed by 1t from the sea, adding greatly
to the value Of that large territory, which
now yields nothing but salt hay"
