Der of foreign white persons OF white

Zuyder Zee.

Holland has at length taken practl-
cal steps to drain tbs Zuyder Zee and
thus RECEIVERS, at an expense of some
$l35, 100000, an area of 700 square
miles which was flooded by the Ger
man ocean five centuries ago. For
merly the region now covered by the
Zee was a vast forest with a fresh
water lake in the center, fed by the
river Yosel, but in ITO began series
of ;nund ations which in the course OF
two centuries brought the whole coun-
try under water. The ancient sea-
coast is still indicated by a chain Of
islands, one of which is to be utilized,
along with its entertainments, to shut
the sea out again. The included area
is to be cut up into sections, which
will be drained by means OF pumps,
the operation being extended through
twenty-four years. A lake will be re-
tanned in the central portion for the
Yosel to flow into and the outflow will
be brought under control.

TO AID EMPLOYEES.
A NEW SCHEME OF THE w. l..

if the idea is carried out to the extent that is
possible that it will result ultimately IN the
breaking down Of the barriers which have DCen
built up between employers and those whom
they employ, as it would convince the work.
ingmen that their employers were not their
enemies, as some OF them seem to think now,
but their friends, with a desire to 90 all TOR
them that was in their power.
Having strong feelings upon this point, 1t Is
only natural that Mr.. Douglas should give the
matter some study and acQualnt himself with
the result of the trials OF similar plans in other
places. He is satisfied that the scheme he has
originated is good one, and he has now put 1t
to practical test.
He has handed to every person in his employ
and they form {. small army-a caro- when

This is a practical Illustration OF Mr.. Douglas
idea, and will surely be appreciated by the
hundreds who receive the cards. #
The plan is good one. >.
Speaking of the w. L. Douglas Shoe co. IL
may be said that their factory is the only one
in Brockton where the principle OF arbitration
is recognized and has full sway. Mr.. Douglas
is q firm believer in the principle and has beer

A Clerical Error.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-An error
has been discovered in enrolling the
sundry civil appropriation bill for the
current year which has seriously in
convenienced several states in securing
surveys. For several years past this
bill in the appropriation for the sur
vey of public lands contained pro-
vision that lin the states of Montana,
Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Washing
ton, Idaho and Oregon there may be
allowed with the approval OF the secre-
tary of the interior for the survey OF
the lands heavily timbered,
mountainous or covered with dense
underground, rates not exceeding $50
per lineal mile for standard and
meander lines, $23 for township and
500 for section lines This provis-
ion was incorporated in the last ap-
preparation bill and was accepted by
the senate without opposition. But
it appears that in enrolling the bill
the provision was omitted and the bill
became law without the provision.
When the surveyor general OF the
states named came to let contracts 1
was found that there were no sur
veyors who would engage to survey
the lands described in the omitted
previso at the regular. rates.

Glucose, it appears, is the greatest

Candy commonly contains much fusal

A Stage Substance.

A German chemist is reported to
have discovered new substance
which has the remarkable and unique
property of solidifying when heated
and remaining liquid at temperatures
below zero. 1t has been named 'ccy-
ostase,' and is obtained by mixing
together equal partsFo phenol, cam
phor and saponine, and adding a
somewhat smaller proportion of es-
sence Of turpentine. Certain sub
stances, like the albumens, harden on
heating, but this is the only product
that again liquefies on cooling.
