dyke will measure 80 feet through, and its

building of the Dyke.
The building of the dyke will be the
first step in retaining the area stolen by
the sea 600 years ago. But it will be less
complicated and not more expensive than
the other steps to come The dyke will
shut the German ocean out of the Zuyder
Zee. 1t will remain to build the net
work of dykes and canals which will give
a birds eye view of the whole territory
the appearance of a checker board, and
to pump ou the vast quantities of water
which now cover the country. The new
canals will serve two purposes-first, they
will offer channels for the barges by
means of which Dutch transportation is
carried on, and second, being all con-
nected and leading eventually by lock-
guarded entrances into the North sea,
they will give outlet to the water now
| flowing into the Zuyder Zee through trib-
utary streams.
The pumping will be done by windmills
| and steam apparatus. Holland is a land
| of windmills, because everywhere water
! must be pumped, pumped, pumped, ever
pumped. A mill whose wings measure
each 60 feet in length, and which is pro-
, vided with the best of windmill pumping
| apparatus, can handle about 20 gallons
of water per minute when running at
average speed. AT that rate it would
| take years to empty the Zuyder Zee. So
| for this great work a series of windmills
| of a power hitherto undreamed of will
, be built Standing almost 200 feet high,
these mills will have wings measuring IS
| feet each in length. These will be so
carefully adjusted that the lightest breeze
| will whirl them. The great pivot on
which they are to turn will take a lesson
| from the bicycle and be fitted with ball
bearings to reduce friction. The pumps
! which these great fans will drive will
| throw 300 gallons of water from the Zuy-
der Zee into the outlet canals every &C
seconds.
In addition to these windmills there will
be five enormous steam pumps throwing
a volume of water almost twice as great
The tremendous task which these pumps
must perform will be understood when II
is told that engineers figure the contents
of the Zuyder Zee at 1913, 953, STA, 720 gallons
Last year New York consumed about &C.,
600 600, geo gallons of water, so the Dutch
must pump out of the Zuyder Zee enough
water to furnish New York for more thar
! three years.
Imagine the fate of an American legis
lator who would counsel the pumping gu
of the upper and lower New York bay
for the sake of retaining the land! Ye
the area of those bodies in square mile
is several times smaller than that of tn
Zuyder Zee. The total cost of the worl
will be above 900 forms, or $4,000,
900.

seems absurd for the United States t
claim to be the earth's most progressiv
nation.
