Pàgina 124 - Of these latter we must also say something, for they afford one mode of recreation to the citizens in going about the town, as the boats afford another in going about the Lake.

Pàgina 4 - Chibli; the constant passage of carts keeps the surface continually stirred up, and the wind catches the fine particles of sand, of which the loess is mainly composed, and carries them over the adjacent 'country. In consequence the tracks have a continual tendency to sink below the surface, and are often found occupying narrow passages sunk 30 or even 50 feet under the general level. In the eastern provinces, from like causes, the roads when passing through villages or approaching a bridge are almost...
Pàgina 3 - The farmer has, on the one hand, a perfect right to plough up any road passing through his land, and, as a matter of fact, generally exercises the right. On the other, the teamster has an equal right to drive his wagons over the country at large, and equally, as a matter of fact, exercises it. To prevent the ruin of his own crops, and to force, if possible, the track on to his...
Pàgina 3 - Otherwise the roads as they exist are merely the customary tracks from one town or village to another, are never macadamised, and follow all the natural irregularities of the surface.

Pàgina 547 - Khitan, a people from the basin of the Sungari River, and supposed (but doubtfully) to have been akin to the Tunguses, whose rule subsisted for 200 years, and originated the name of KHITAI, Khata, or CATHAY, by which for nearly 1000 years China has been known to the nations of Inner Asia, and to those...

The opinion there expressed is that these tuber-like bodies are an altered state of the root of the tree, probably occasioned by the presence of a fungus, the mycelium of which traverses, disintegrates, or even obliterates the wood and bark. This mycelium appears under the microscope in the form of fine threads usually more or less mixed with bodies of irregular shape...

Pàgina 118 - The roadway is some 25 feet wide, and in some places built up to 12 to 15 feet above the surrounding country. There are remains in many places of ancient pavement, but this has almost wholly disappeared, and the road is simply a bank of earth which in rainy weather becomes altogether impassable. There are three splendid bridges on the road, built of stone, one of five, one of seven, and another of ten arches. Bridge building IB regarded as a virtue in China, and there are some fine specimens in all...
