The Gasoline Engine.

BY EDWIN BALMER.

A large part OF Holland lies, as
every one knows, below the sea, and
is protected by dikes so strong that,
unless Holland is invaded and the
Hollanders cut the dikes, as they have
cut them before TO drive back their
enemies-there is little chance that
the sea will ever have to be pumped
out again; but the rain-water must
be continually drawn off. So the
canals are built far enough above
the fields TO have their level a little
above the sea at low tide. Then into
the canals thousands OF windmills
continually pump the troublesome
water. which Is let out into the sea
finally at low tide, when the flood
gates are opened.
So with these waterways every
where. There are few roads in parts
Of Holland, and almost no horses at
all. Boats can be rowed or poled
about more easily and to more places
than horses can be driven: and when
wheels are necessary, big dogs are
harnessed to small carts, with a man
or woman pulling, too. II needed
Then there are no fences in this part
of Holland-but plenty of gates. This
sounds queer; but the first time one
sees 1t. 1t looks great deal queerer.
One sees fat, undivided fields, with
Just lone wooden gates six or eight
feet long every ten acres or so; and
the cattle which Craze in the fields
stand foolishly before these gates and
rub against them. too stupid to walk
about them, apparently. Going near
er, one sees that the fields are all d.
vided into squares by smaller canals
