On page 28: “As by means of water-carriage a more extensive market is opened to every sort of industry then what land-carriage alone afford it, so it us upon the sea-coast and along the banks of navigable rivers, that industry of every kind begins to subdivide and improve itself.” ❋ Skzbrust (2009)
Amidst a long discussion, which he “crammed into mine ear against the stomach of my sense,” I only remember, that it was part of his project to preserve a portion of the lake just deep enough and broad enough for the purposes of water-carriage, so that coal-barges and gabbards should pass as easily between Dumbarton and Glenfalloch as between Glasgow and Greenock. ❋ Unknown (2005)
As we were now not far from the latitude of Mozambique, I was somewhat tempted to strike away from the river to that port, instead of going to the S.E., in the direction the river flows; but, the great object of my journey being to secure water-carriage, I resolved to continue along the ❋ Unknown (2004)
The immediate disposal of sewage is accomplished by two methods -- the so-called _dry_, and the _water-carriage_ methods. ❋ Kenelm Winslow (N/A)
The dust bins -- a necessary accompaniment of the water-carriage system of disposing of sewage -- are theoretically supposed to be receptacles mainly for organic refuse, such as coal-ashes, broken crockery, and at worst the sweepings from the floors. ❋ Various (N/A)
It is then put into large earthen jars, placed in rude carts drawn by oxen, and carried to the banks of the river, from whence it is sent by water-carriage to every part of the empire. ❋ Various (N/A)
They are both sufficiently convenient for boat navigation, even at the end of the dry season; and any obstruction might easily be removed to make them more so, by which the productions of an immense extent of country might be transported by water-carriage. ❋ Various (N/A)
The tea lands are for the most part advantageously situated, within convenient reach of water-carriage, either by the 'Dickhoo,' ❋ P. L. Simmonds (N/A)
The water-carriage system presupposes the construction and existence of pipes from the house to and through the street to the place of final disposition. ❋ Kenelm Winslow (N/A)
[101] Wallace points out that "hardly a small island on the globe but has some land shell peculiar to it," and he goes so far as to say that probably air-breathing mollusca have been chiefly distributed by air - or water-carriage, rather than by voluntary dispersal on the land. ❋ James Marchant (N/A)
He then found occasion to talk of the thousand and one mishaps that had occurred upon the aforesaid Mussel shoals; and thence branched off into the various modes of water-carriage which the enlightened inhabitants of ❋ Various (N/A)
By the _water-carriage method_ is understood the system by which sewage, solid and liquid, is flushed out by means of water, through pipes or conduits called sewers, from the houses through the streets to the final destination. ❋ Kenelm Winslow (N/A)
At Vienna a river with a few small steamers below and a tow-path above represented water-carriage. ❋ Various (N/A)
The water-carriage system is accordingly divided into two systems: _the combined_, by which all sewage and all waste and rain water are carried through the sewers, and the _separate_ system, in which two groups of pipes are used -- the sewers proper to carry sewage only, and the other pipes to dispose of rain water and other uncontaminated waste water. ❋ Kenelm Winslow (N/A)
Of course, more or less produce is taken to the seaboard by the railroads; but, even if they could compete in price with water-carriage, it is evident that they are incapable of moving the surplus grain of the Northwest, as it now is. ❋ Various (N/A)
= -- Whenever the water-carriage system is used, it is either intended to carry only sewage proper, viz., solid and liquid excreta flushed by water, or fain water and other waste water from the household in addition. ❋ Kenelm Winslow (N/A)
Being a people much occupied in maritime pursuits, they prefer, like the amphibious Dutch, traveling by rivers, or the innumerable cuts, canals, and creeks, which everywhere intersect the country: beside, their prows afford more protection from surprise, and they conceive their town as safer by being surrounded by a jungle and situated in a swamp; nor have they any conception beyond water-carriage. ❋ Henry Keppel (N/A)
While the former is not absolutely essential, as a house may have a system of plumbing without there being a sewer in the street, still in the water-carriage system of disposal of sewage the street sewer is the outlet for the various waste and excrementitious matter of the house. ❋ Kenelm Winslow (N/A)
The immense saving in the cost of water-carriage as compared with that of railway-transportation is hardly conceived by the public mind. ❋ Various (N/A)
