Tho Gigantic Work Of Rcclaiming Sub
MERGED Land In Holland.

Tho Gigantic Work OF Roclaiming Sub
merged Land In Holland.
The people of Holland have under
taken a gigantic work By means Of
which they expect to recover tie larger
part of the territory now covered 10y the
Zuydcr Zee, the inland saa Of the coun-
try, and turn it again into e fertile
farming region. It is now just five cen
turtles since the inundation Of that part
of the Netherlands now covered by the
Zuyder Zee was completed the encroach-
ments Of the sea having been going on
for 22j years, previous to which time
| tho territory was covered with forests.
BY the most stupendous cXertions
about $50 square miles Of country have
already been recovered by an elaborate
dixie system which has gradually re-
claimed section after section that was
lost, but the new scheme tranSccnds the
previous work in extent and Importance.
The towns Of the region, which hid be-
come of considerable importance as sea-
ports through the bringing of the wa
tiers Of the ocean to their doors, have lost
considerable Of that importance through
the difficulties Of navigation and the
transfer Of the trade to the North Hol-
land canal and the Y ship canal, which
connects the metropolis with the ocean.
On this account the remnants Of COM
MERGE are not worth as much to the
towns as the country would be after it
is reclaimed, and therefore there is gen
eral acQuiesence in the plan to drive the
ocean out
On account Of the great cost it will
be distributed over period Of 33 years,
so as to make it less oppressive and to
make the benefits gradually bear their
share Of the expense. \ colossal sea wall
is first to be built from North Holland
to Friesland, shutting out the tides Of
the ocean. This wall will be PIG feet
wide at the base, and the top viii be II
feet above the sen level, while along the
inner side and at some distance below
the top will be track wide enough for
a wagon road and a railway.
After the sea is barred out the inclosed
space to be reclaimed will inclOse with
in separate entertainments four areas con-
tanning in the aggregate $50 square
miles One Of these areas will be first
drained by pumping the water over the
embankment, the water finding its way
to the sea through the main channel,
and as the shallower portions became ex-
posed they will be excessively brought
under cultivation. It's calculated that
within ten years $4,000 acres can be
made annually available and in the end
the inland sea will be reduced to a chan
mel about 10 miles wide called tho
Ysselmeer, communicating with the
sea by locks at Wieringen, with Amster-
dam by a branch three miles wide
and by another with the mouth of the
Yssel The plan has received the sane
ton of the government, and the engi-
neers pronounce it feasible. milwaukee,

The Bombay Times states that a posi-
card which, posted in Madras on the
4th of January, 1887, was delivered il
Bombay few days ago. The history i;
in post marks.
Addressed to firm in Mount road,
Madras, the obliterating stamp is dated
"Vepery, 4 Jan. 81. =" The next stamp
bears the words, First delivery, Mt.
Road, 3 Jan, 81. "
The card then acquired the legend,
"Not in Mt. Road, " and back it went to
the chief office, whose stamp it bears.
A number of initials on the card and a
multiplicity Of postmarks indicate that
it had several times been sent out after
this to find an owner, and a rough hole
in the center suggests that the postmas-
ter, a careful though despairing man,
was eventually compelled to file the
document for reference.
On the gath Of April last there was
evidently "spring cleaning" in the
Madras postoffice, for the card was then
withdrawn from the file, and the bold
words "Try Bombay" added to the
many legends ON the side which is in
tended only for the address.
1t reached Bombay on the 2Sth Of
April, and after its long Information the
message reached a we'll known firm Of
Bombay photographers
The eicht-year-old message runs as
follows: 81 would be much Obliged if
you would take my daughters photo on
Thursday morning. l leave Madras on
Friday morning.

Japan's Grand Old Man.

Yukichi Eukuzawa is the Grand Old
Man Of Japan, although he is about 20
years younger than the members Of that
more famous Observation-Disclosures,
Bismarck and Ii Hung Chang. More
than any other man, says correspond
ent, he has brought Japan to that posi-
ton which she now holds among the
civilized nations of the world. Thirty
five years ago he visited this country,
and ON his return home introduced the
Webster Dictionary to his countrymen, a
book that is considered the foundation
Of Japan's intellectual power He also
introduced English into all the schools.
In days when Japan was divided into
two parties-one for and the other
against foreigners-he advocated the
opening Of his country to the new world,
and his book in behalf Of western civili-
cation, which he wrote from his studies
and travels in America, had a consid.
cradle effect in restoring to the throne
the dynasty Of which the present en-
peror is a member.
The Jill Shimpo (The Times newspa-
peri is his organ, and although he does
not actively manage it his sons are the
editors, and its influence is widespread,
doubtless because it is independent in
every sense Perhaps his greatest bene-
faction was the founding Of a school
known as the Kewgijiuku university,
which is second only to the Imperial
university Of Tokyo in point Of numbers
and rank Of scholarship Mr.. Fukuzawa
comes from the common people and is
known as the "great comm0uer, " and
what shows above all the character Of
the man is that he has never allowed
himself to be carried away by his sue
cess and has modostly refused to accept
decorations, honCrs CT even the peerage
from the mikadO. Detroit Free Press.
The Wreck of the Jason on Cape Cod.
a half mile away the Prov Of the
wreck Jason, with its white fgurehead,
rose clean out Of the water, standing
where she struck the night Of the 9TH Of
December, nearly two years ago. The
iron schooner broke clean in two that
night with the first shock, and the waves
rushed over her stern, which sank like
lead into the sand. Twenty men
went down with it, and next morning
90 dead bodies lay upon the shore in
among the scattered bales Of jute that
had formed the cargo. But the twenty
seventh, reaching the shore alive, man
aged to clutch hold Of one Of the bales
Of the floating cargo and kept his foot
ing.
Hewas young fellow, a prentice lad
out Of an English rectory, and he was
very nearly exhausted with the struggle,
but he staggered on along the sand
through the storm until he met the
squad Of the life saving crew coming to
give help where there was only one
man left to need it, and catching at the
first man he cried out to know that he
was safe. When they told him that he
was, he fell down in faint, and was
carried to the station like log. The
letter his father wrote in gratitude for
their care Of him is kept among the rec
ords Of the station, and it is one Of the
few pleasant things to remember about
the most terrible wreck that had ever
lain on the dangerous Truro coast
