Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mouth of the Mississippi: Jetty System Explained The Mississippi is simply a transporter of solid matter to the sea. This consists chiefly of sand and alluvion, which is held in suspension by the mechanical effect of the current. A small portion, consisting of larger aggregations, such as gravel, boulders, small lumps of clay, and drift wood, is rolled forward along the bottom. By far the greatest portion is, however, transported in suspension. The amount of this matter, and the size and weight of the particles which the stream is enabled to hold up and carry forward, depends wholly upon the rapidity of the stream, modified, however, by its depth. The banks and bottom being chiefly sand and alluvion, are easily disintegrated by the movement of the water: hence the amount of load lost by any slacking of the current at one place, will be quickly recovered in the first place below where the current is again increased. The popular theory advanced in many standard works on hydraulics, to-wit: that the erosion of the banks and bottom of streams like the Mississippi, is due to the friction or impingement of the current against them, has served to embarrass the solution of the very simple phenomena presented in the formation of the delta of the Mississippi, because it does not explain why it is that under certain conditions of the water, it may develop with a gentle current, an abrading power, which, under other conditions, a great velocity cannot exert at all. A certain velocity gives to the stream the ability of holding in suspension a proportionate quantity of solid matter; and when it is thus charged it can sustain no more, and hence will carry off no more, and therefore cannot then wear away its bottom or banks, no matter how directly the current may impinge against them.
