Jottings from the Note Book of a Director- being mainly scraps of Travel

Abstract

In the April number Mr. Couchman describes a peculiar water lift introduced into South Canara from Bombay. From the description it appears to be very similar (certainly on the same principle) to the one in common use in Egypt-the sakiyeh. But in Egypt they are not so careful of the kind of animals they use for this work as I have seen a camel and a donkey unequally yoked together. As Mr. Couchman hints it is not as efficient as the mhote.
