DRIVING BACK THE OCEAN.
The Gigantic Work of Retaining
Land in Holland.

The people of Holland have under
taken a gigantic work by means of
which they expect to recover the
larger part of the territory now COW
cred by the Zuyder Zee, the inland
sea of the country, and turn it again
into a fertile farming region. 1t is
now just five centuries since the in
undation of that part of the Neither
lands now covered by the Zuyder Zee
was completed, the encroachments of
| the sea having been going on for 225
years, previous to which time the
territory was covered with forests.
By the most stupendous exertions
about $50 square miles of country
has already been recovered by an
elaborate dyke system, which has
gradually reclaimed section after sec
ton that was lost, but the new
scheme transcends the previous work
in extent and Importance. The
towns of the region which had be-
come of considerable Importance as
seaports through the bringing of the
waters of the ocean to their doors
have lost considerable of that i'm
portance through the difficulties of
navigation and the transfer of the
trade to the North Holland canal and
the Y ship canal, which connects the
metropolis with the ocean. On this
account the remnants of commerce
are not worth as much to the towns
as the country would be after it is
reclaimed, and therefore there is
general acquiescence in the plan to
drive the ocean out.
On account Of the great cost it will
be distributed over period of thirty
three years, so as to make it less op-
pressive and 10 make the benefits
gradually bear their share of the ex-
pense. A colossal sea wall is first to
be built from North Holland to
Freisland, shutting out the tides of
the ocean. This wall will be ZIG feet
wide at the base and the top will be
seventeen feet above the sea level,
while along the inner side and at
some distance below the top will be
track wide enough for a wagon
road and railway.
After the sea is barred out the in
closed space to be reclaimed will in
close within separate entertainments
four areas containing in the aggre-
SdGe IoU SQUARE mll0S. Ou0 VI bueSo
areas will be first drained by pump
ing the water over the embankment,
the water finding its way to the sea
through the main channel, and as
the shallower portions become expos
ed they will be successfully brought
under cultivation. 1t is calculated
that within ten years $4,000 acres
can be made annually available, and
in the end the inland sea will he re-
duced to a channel about fifteen
miles wide, called the Ysselmeer,
communicating with the sea by locks
at Wieringen, with Amsterdam by
branch three miles wide and by an
other with the mouth of the Yssel.
The plan has received the sanction
of the government, and the engineers
pronounce it feasible Milwaukee

A NEW AFRICAN ROMANCE

We went up the valley, following the
course Of the stream for about mile;
then Iadaba-zimbi made sudden turn
to the right, along another kloof, OF
which there were countless numbers in
the base Of the great hill.
On we went through kloof after kloof.
Indaba-zimbi, who led US, was never at
loss; he turned up gullies and struck
across necks of hills with the certainty
OF hound on hot scent. At length,
after about three hours march, we came
to big, silent valley on the northern
slope of the great peak. On one side Of
this valley was series Of stony koppies;
on the other rose sheer wall Of rock.
We marched along the wall for dis
tance of some two miles. Then sudden
ly Indaba-zimbi halted.
There is the place" he said, point
ing to an opening in the cliff. This
opening was about forty feet from the
ground and ellipse-shaped. 1t could not
have been more that twenty feet high
by ten wide and was partially hidden
BY ferns and bushes that grew about it
in the surface of the cliff. Keen as my
eyes were Idoubt if should ever have
noticed it, for there were many such
crags and crannies in the rocky face OF
the great mountain.
We drew near and looked carefully at
the place. The first thing I noticed
was that the rock, which was not quite
perpendicular, had been worn by the
continual passage of baboons; the Sec
ond, that something white was hanging
on bush near the top of the ascent.
1t was pocket handkerchief.
Now there was no more doubt about
the matter. With beating heart be-
gan the ascent. For the first twenty
feet it was comparatively easy, for the
rock shelved; the next ten feet was
very difficult. but still possible for an
active man, and achieved it, followed
by Indaba-zimbi. But the last twelve
or fifteen feet could only be scaled by

Cru ade Against kissing Started by a
Chicago Doctor.
From the Nep York Aorning Journal
DR.. Reilly, of the Chicago board of
health, has perpetrated an outrage
which calls for the fercest denuncla-
ton of which any language is capable.
Not having the tear of God before him, ,
and being jnstigated thereto By the
devil, he has issued circular in behalf
Of The board denouncing The practice
of kissing. We de- not know DR..
Reilly and therefore cannot speculate
as 10 his. motives. If he is an old
gentleman hemay have lost his memory,
There. may be here and there an old
man who delights not in kissing the
girls, and he may be one of them.
This, however, would not be suf-
ficient explanation unless it can be
shown that be has lost his memory.
If he could look back to the days of
his youth and of his robust manhood
he would be thrilled by the recollections
which cluster around those days.
Poor Dr.. Reilly. He is so far re-
moved from the sensations and from
the delicious memories of the sensa-
tions which are related to kissing that
he now goes into cold-bleoded cata-
logue of all the diseases which flesh is
heirzto, an61 undertakes to abolish
Kissing by telling the boys and glrIts,
aud men aud Inaidcns, and swcctheaEts
and husbands, that this delightful
method of closing the electric current
may bring with it tuberculosis and no
end of bacilli diseases. His scheme
will not work; the kissing will go on.
1t will gather momentum from the
discussion. DR.. Reilly has taken
refuge from the storm of ridicule
which has burst upon him by publish
ing opinions of certain other doctors
of renown upholding his teachings.
Who cares? The doctors who endorse
him simply write themselves down as
fossils ana dred remains of the man
hood of an earlier age. Until they
can abolish human nature and take the
roses from the cheeks end lips of fair
maidens youth and manhood will still
be ready to sing, with Tom Moore's
hero, to the fair objects of their de.
votion:
"There's one, who but to kiss thy
cheek,
Would climb the untrodden solitude
Of Ararat's tremendous peak.
And think its sleeps, though dark,
Heavens pathway, il 10 the they led" !"
Aud every old man and old woman
whose memory is green will applaud
this sentiment.

the loss of their two comrades, they
obeyed me, and keeping in the water

Then the real battle began. 1t is
difficult to say who foEghS the most
fercely, the NATIVES or the baboons.
The Kafirs charged along the slopes,
and as they came, encouraged by the
screams of Hendrika, who rushed to and
fro holding the wrctchcd Tota before
her as a Shield, the apes bounded at
them in fury. Scores were killed by the
assegais, and many more fell beneath
our ,gun-shots; but still they came on.
Nor did we go scatheless. Occasionally
a man would slip, or be pulled over in
