the engineers by deposting, at every How ana
ebb. vast quantities of sand and silt on both
sides of their structure. Presently the dams
will reach the level of high water, and the
tides will be excluded from all the great ex-
panse of sea to the southwark. Then pump
ing will begin, and the dry land will appear
over nearly all the area now occupied by the
Zee south of Wieringen. A few deep pools
will remain as lakes, and there must also re-
main channels for the Yssel River and the
Amsterdam Canal. But all the rest will be
dry land. the homes of thousands Of industrious
Dutchmen and the site of teeming cities.
The cost of this stupendous work is esti-
mated at S95, 10000 The amount Of land
redeemed, deductng the area of lakes, rivers
and canals, will be fully 100000 acres, and
its value is reckoned at $500 the acre. The
value of the new province will thus be some
S3OO. OOO. 900, of which sum more than two
thirds will be net profit on the enterprise These
estimates are made, not by visionary "pro-
iectors,n but by hardheaded and cautious
Dutchmen, who are not likely to err on the
wrong side of the account. The work, there
fore. seems sure to yield enormous immediate
profits, while its ultimate value to the King
dom is incalcuable. 1t will add more than 10
per cent to the area of Holland, with all that
that implies in increase of population, wealth
and industry. 1t will also materially modify
the climate of the provinces of Utrecht, Geldcr-
land and Overyssel,. and will make great
changes in their commercial and industrial con-
ditions 1t is, on the whole, work singularly
characteristic of the patient, industrious, in
domitable Dutch and one the rich rewards of
which they we'll deserve to reap.

MAKING 4 NER PROHINCE.

While military Powers are threatening to
alter the political map of Europe, peaceful
and industrious nation is actually engaged in
changing the physical map in most important
and impressive manner by means of an en-
ginoering work that will rank among the great
est ever achieved. This is nothing less than
the addition of a new province to the Kingdom
of the Netherlands by the abolition of the
famous Zuyder Zee. More than forty years
ago this enterprise was seriously proposed, but
no practical steps were taken toward its full
filment until a recent date. Now it is announced
that progress is being made more rapidly and
more readily than even the most sanguine at
first expected, and the work has reached point
from which the end is visible, and at which
it is permissible to begin reckoning the results
of the undertaking.
The original scheme was to drain the entire
area of the Zuyder Zee, including the coast
sound as far as the Pinkegat and the Lauwer
Zee. Dams were to be built. connecting the
islands of Texel. Vlieland. Terschellng and
Ameland with each other and with the main
land. But this was found to be imprac,
ticable. The tides of the North Sea swept too
strongly through the Vile Stroom and other
inlets. So the engineers fell back to their pres
ent line of action. which extends from near
Ewijckslus, in North Holland to and includ-
ing the sland Of Wieringen, and thence to
Hindelopen, on the coast of Friesland. The
dams which are being built are partly artificial
and rarity natural. for the tide greatly assists
