Soon afterwards other localities were discovered by Link near Gottingen in Germany about 1791 and afterwards in the vicinity of Berlin, as stated by Ratzeburg, 1825. Many other localities have since been indicated for it in Europe, and in my own country some have been noted of late, as for instance near Zandvoort in 1874 and near Oldenzaal in 1896.
But as the Katwyk and Zandvoort schools flourish mightily in the United States we did not feel curious enough to make the effort at either town. Regrettable as was the burning of the old church at Katwyk, perhaps its disappearance will keep it out of numerous pictures painted in that picturesque region. Of course it will be, or has been, rebuilt.
Modern music, with its orchestral registration, its swiftness and staccato, would be a sacrilege on this key-board. The bronze statue of Coster did not unduly excite us. The Dutch claim him as the inventor of printing, but the Germans hang on to Gutenberg. At Leyden there is a steam train to Katwyk-aan-See; at Haarlem you may ride out to Zandvoort, and six miles farther is the North Sea Canal.
The line from Newcastle, is worked direct to Nylstud, in Russia a distance of 890 miles by means of a "relay" or "repeater," at Gothenburg. The relay is the apparatus at which the Newcastle current terminates, but in ending there it itself starts a fresh current on to Russia. Two cables to Holland: Lowestoft to Zandvoort, laid in 1858 , and from Benacre, Kessingland, to Zandvoort .
