How Land ls Reclaimed From the
North Sea BY the HollanderA

UoW lana ~ HIliaNlcu FfoW tNA
North Sea BY the HollanderA
The Chicago drainage canal Is
a mere plaything compared with the
engineering feat OF draining Harlem
Lake In Holland. says a writer In the
New York Tribune. The Dutch built
dlke around a piece of the sea and
then pumped the lake they had made
entirely dry. This was so successful
that other portions OF the sea have
been reclaimed in the same way. Now
the Netherlanders have set out to dry
up a sea, the Zuyder Zee, and reclaim
about 600 square miles. The cost OF
this undertaking Is estimated at SAL.
100000, OF S6.O00.O00 more that the
cost OF the New York subway. The
Dutch government. however. expects to
get It's money back. as 1t will have
100000 acres of land, from which It
expects to get . rental Of S4.5OO. 900 a
year.
One might think that such a marshy
tract Of land, even after It has been
reclaimed and drained. would be ma
larial Not so. The draining Of the
land will be done a little at a time,
so as to shorten the marshy stage as
much as possible. Coast land, even
II low. when past the marshy stage, is
especially healthful. Furthermore,
the people of that country are used to
low land. At any rate, they succeeded
In drying up Harlem.
