In the Zuider Zee, about dozen miles
from Amsterdam.
This island, detached from the main
land in the Thirteenth century, lies out
Of the ordinary routes Of travel, hence
its inhabitants have perpetuated the
quaint costumes and queer customs
that prevailed when their land became

The ground Is barely above the wa

storm would sweep completely over
such protecting dlkes as the people
could afford TO build. With charac-
teristic shrewdness, they long ago
counted the cost Of such fortifications
as the exposed position would neces-
sitnte and wisely concluded that the
grounds at stake would not justify
the expenditure.
They therefore dug such canals as
would drain the soil under ordinary
conditions, and used the earth thus
obtained in building hillocks on which
houses are erected. On seven of these
mounds houses are grouped, while on
the eighth Is the silent home Of the
dead
The buildings that are not so favor
ably situated with respect to the high

the lower story being merely frame
work and only the upper part occu-
pied. A gangwuy connects with adj
jacent houses, so that in case Of an
