DRAINAGE of Zuyder Zee.

At the inland shipping congress held
ut Rotterdam recently the drainage Of
the Zuyter zee formed the most i'm
portant subject of discussion. 1t was
pointed ont that the drainage would
make necessary the construction Of a
number of new canals. One speaker
pleaded that the building Of new vii.
lagos and factories near the polders
should not be left to mere chance VII
lagos with churches should be built
near the canals, but industrial works
near the dykes. Such an arrangement
would prove Of advantage to shipping.
and would prevent any pollution Of the
polder water. A number of the water"
ways connecting the Zuyder zee ports
are to be preserved, but wherever
polders form n continuation Of the ex-
listing land. new hnrbors will have to
be uadc.-Scicntiflc American.
