This Island, detached from the mainland in the Thirteenth century, lies out of the ordinary routes of travel. Its inhabitants have kept the quaint costumes and queer ceremonies that prevailed when their land became an Island. The ground is barely above the water at high tide, but the housps are built on hillocks of earth obtained by digging drainage canals.

"Colorful as the ports and islands of the Zuiderzee may be, they have outlived most of their usefulness. Holland's rapidly growing population demands more farm land3. The Zuiderzee, the greater part of which had hardly more than 15 feet of water at low tide, offered a source of new land. "The land to be reclaimed will be roughly divided into four sections, or polders, by Lake Ijessel, and the mouths of the Amstel and Ijessel rivers. Ijessel lake itself, when drainage operations are completed, will be a long, funnel-shapebody of water running back from the new sea dike to the city of Kampen. It will be a mere shadow of the former Zuiderzee. Most of the new land will be reclaimed from the huge, stomach- shaped southwestern end of the "One polder, the Dutch word ap plied to any area of land protected by an encircling dike and drained by its own system of pumps, back of Wieringen island, consisting of 50.000 acres, has been completed, and this year crops were harvested from fields which in 1930 were covered with wa ter.

One thousand years ago the monk Theodosius sketched in broad lines what might be expected of the world in 19,'S2. He foresaw a great increase of population, astonishing ad vances in the sciences, especially In botany, zoology and astrology, and so great an Increase In the demand for books that "pious monks will sit night and day copying and recopying the manuscripts of the great bishops of long ago." Some of Theodosius guesses went as far afield as others went true, according to Charles Richet, who gives in Le Matin, a translation of pertinent parts of the manuscript, which, he says, he discovered by chance In a Franciscan monastery at Ravenna. "Will there be a year 1000?" Theodosius asks. "Many good Christians imngine that the year 1000 will see the end of the world and the final cataclysm. P,ut this Is probably an error. God Is too good to wipe out the human race. "What shall we find after the year 1000?

The armies of the Infidels, triumphant as they seem today, will have disappeared as dust In the wind. There will be none but God's servants. The Cross will have conquered the Orescent. Safety on the roads would encour age travel. Theodosius said. "As to the sciences, they will make astonishing progress. I do not speak of magic, that redoubtable science Inspired by the Spirit of Evil to deceive unhappy men, but of botany, zoology and especially astrology.
