flow
?

.
From
Roundwood
reservoir
in
county
Wicklow
of
a
cubic
capacity
of
2400
million
gallons
,
percolating
through
a
subterranean
aqueduct
of
filter
mains
of
single
and
double
pipeage
constructed
at
an
initial
plant
cost
of
£
5
per
linear
yard
by
way
of
the
Dargle
,
Rathdown
,
Glen
of
the
Downs
and
Callowhill
to
the
26
acre
reservoir
at
Stillorgan
,
a
distance
of
22
statute
miles
,
and
thence
,
through
a
system
of
relieving
tanks
,
by
a
gradient
of
250
feet
to
the
city
boundary
at
Eustace
bridge
,
upper
Leeson
street
,
though
from
prolonged
summer
drouth
and
daily
supply
of
12
1
/
2
million
gallons
the
water
had
fallen
below
the
sill
of
the
overflow
weir
for
which
reason
the
borough
surveyor
and
waterworks
engineer
,
Mr
Spencer
Harty
,
C
.
E
.
,
on
the
instructions
of
the
waterworks
committee
had
prohibited
the
use
of
municipal
water
for
purposes
other
than
those
of
consumption
(
envisaging
the
possibility
of
recourse
being
had
to
the
impotable
water
of
the
Grand
and
Royal
canals
as
in
1893
)
particularly
as
the
South
Dublin
Guardians
,
notwithstanding
their
ration
of
15
gallons
per
day
per
pauper
supplied
through
a
6
inch
meter
,
had
been
convicted
of
a
wastage
of
20
,
000
gallons
per
night
by
a
reading
of
their
meter
on
the
affirmation
of
the
law
agent
of
the
corporation
,
Mr
Ignatius
Rice
,
solicitor
,
thereby
acting
to
the
detriment
of
another
section
of
the
public

selfsupporting

vastness
in
the
ocean
of
Mercator
’
s
projection

its
unplumbed
profundity

the
Sundam
trench

the
Pacific
exceeding

fathoms

Having
set
the
halffilled
kettle
on
the
now
burning
coals
,
why
did
he
return
to
the
stillflowing
tap
?
To
wash
his
soiled
hands
with
a
partially
consumed
tablet
of
Barrington
’
s
lemonflavoured
soap
,
to
which
paper
still
adhered
,
(
bought
thirteen
hours
previously
for
fourpence
and
still
unpaid
for
)
,
in
fresh
cold
neverchanging
everchanging
water
and
dry
them
,
face
and
hands
,
in
a
long
redbordered
holland
cloth
passed
over
a
wooden
revolving
roller
.
What
reason
did
Stephen
give
for
declining
Bloom
’
s
offer
?
That
he
was
hydrophobe
,
hating
partial
contact
by
immersion
or
total
by
submersion
in
cold
water
,
(
his
last
bath
having
taken
place
in
the
month
of
October
of
the
preceding
year
)
,
disliking
the
aqueous
substances
of
glass
and
crystal
,
distrusting
aquacities
of
thought
and
language
.
