tract for burying the city dead of Mem

mers' zinc-lined trunks and take them
with him a g baggage as far as St. LOUIS

destination by express. Thompson said
that he had been paid all the way from
$50 to $500 per body. He said the name

If we were TO visit this spring the low
west coast of Schleswig, where the
drifting sands are constantly changin,

should witness a scene of unusual ac-
tvity. Along that part OF the coast
fronting the Hallgen Islands the large
appropriation of the Preston legisla-
ture for the protection OF the coats and
islands against the invasion of the
North Sea is being expended. a large
force Of men is now building the dam
or breakwater between the little ISL
and Of GLAND and the mainland. which.
in connection with other works already
completed is expected 10 keep the sea
within bounds for many miles along
the coast
The people living along this constant
ly endangered part of the shore have a
lively anticipation of acquiring new
lands, covered with rich, deep mud,
which will be reclaimed from the sea
by the dikes building around them.
They expect that not only will these de-
fences keep the sea from eating the
mainland away. but also that new
areas of land will be secured after
windmills or steam power have pumped
tf-a inclosed spaces dry. Holland calls
these reclaimed areas polders, and has
over 1000 Of them along the southern

fertile fields. Since then the sea has
gnawed the entire coast away To n
depth OF over twenty miles. and the

Schleswig has lost one-third Of her area
