# Henry Highton

Henry Highton (1816–1874) was an English schoolmaster and clergyman, Principal of Cheltenham College, known also as a scientific and theological writer.

## Life

He was born at Leicester, the eldest son of Henry Highton. He spent five years at Rugby School, under Thomas Arnold, and matriculated at The Queen's College, Oxford, 13 March 1834. After leaving school, he continued on close terms with Arnold. Highton proceeded B.A. in 1837 (M.A. in 1840), obtaining a first-class in classics, and was Michel fellow of his college in 1840–1. At this period he was tutor to Henry John Stephen Smith, and curate of St Ebbe's Church, Oxford.
He was assistant-master at Rugby School from 1841 to 1859, and principal of Cheltenham College from the latter date till 1862. On 23 December 1874 he died at The Cedars, Putney, where he had resided for several years. He married a daughter of James Paxton.

## Works

A letter (5 April 1837) from Arnold to him on the religious duty of cultivating the intellect is printed in Arthur Stanley's Life of Arnold.
In 1842 Highton offered some advice as to the recovery of the "Israelitish nationality" in a printed letter addressed to Sir Moses Montefiore. An evangelical Christian, Highton saw signs of an imminent return of the Jews to Palestine.
In 1849 he published some sermons; in 1851 a ‘Catechism of the Second Advent;’ and in 1862 a revised translation of the New Testament. In 1863 appeared his ‘Letter to the Lord Bishop of London on the Repeal of the Act of Uniformity and the True Principles of Church Reform,’ criticising the Athanasian Creed, and the burial service. Highton's last theological work was ‘Dean Stanley and Saint Socrates, the Ethics of the Philosopher and the Philosophy of the Divine,’ 1873. It was an attack on Stanley when chosen select preacher to the university of Oxford for his ‘consistent opposition to evangelical truth.’
Highton also paid attention to practical physics, especially to the application of electricity to telegraphy. His approach from the 1840s was included in an 1852 book by his brother Edward Highton. This led to the gold-leaf telegraph, for which Henry Highton had an 1846 patent, and which was briefly in practical use; the rights to it had then been bought up by the Electric Telegraph Company. The brothers continued to work on the conduction problem for underwater telegraphic cables. On 1 May 1872 Henry Highton read before the Society of Arts a survey paper on ‘Telegraphy without Insulation,’ as a cheap means of international communication, in which he referred to a series of experiments with different lengths of wire dropped in the River Thames; the society conferred on Highton their silver medal for the paper. He afterwards read another on galvanic batteries; and letters of his were printed in the society's journal on Atlantic telegraphy, the science of energy, and other topics.
He also invented and patented an artificial stone which came into use for paving and building purposes. In 1873 Highton published a translation of some of Victor Hugo's poems.

# Henry Higgins (botanist)

Henry Hugh Higgins (1814–1893) was an English botanist, bryologist, geologist, curator and clergyman. He is cited as an authority in scientific classification, as Higgins.

## Life

He was the second son of John Higgins of Turvey Abbey, Bedfordshire, the younger brother of Charles Longuet Higgins. He was educated at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, graduating B.A. in 1836, M.A. in 1842.
Higgins was inspector of the National Schools in Liverpool from 1842 to 1848 and chaplain to the Rainhill Asylum, also in Liverpool. In 1848 he travelled in Egypt, Sinai and Palestine, with his brother Charles. He was president of the Liverpool Field Naturalists' Club from 1861 to 1881.
He especially worked on the Ravenhead collections, almost wholly made up of Upper Carboniferous flora, fish, bivalves and insect remains. Higgins had suggested that Ravenhead donate his collections to the Liverpool Museum and the donation gained a home with the construction of the railway in 1870, which exposed two Carboniferous seams known as the Upper and Lower Ravenhead. Most of Liverpool Museum's collections survived the Liverpool Blitz of May 1941 which practically destroyed the Museum itself, but the entire Ravenhead collection was lost in the fire.

# Carex oronensis

Carex oronensis is a species of sedge known by the common name Orono sedge. It is endemic to Maine in the United States, where it occurs mainly in the Penobscot River Valley. It is the only plant that is endemic to the state of Maine. The type locality is Orono.
The Orono sedge produces clumps of stems up to one meter tall. There are three to four leaf blades per stem. Each measures 18 to 23 centimeters long. The copper-colored inflorescence is a few centimeters long and contains several spikes of flowers. Flowering occurs in June and July.
This plant grows in wetlands and in less wet areas. It is often found in disturbed areas, such as hay fields. Plants in sunny, open areas grow larger than those growing in shade. Associated plants include several species of Carex, such as C. scoparia, C. tenera, and C. tincta, plus Rumex acetosella, Leucanthemum vulgare, Ranunculus acris, Anaphalis margaritacea, Achillea millefolium, Phleum pratense, Vicia cracca, Juncus spp., Luzula spp., Panicum spp., Solidago spp., Rubus idaeus, and Spiraea alba.
This plant is known from six counties in Maine (Aroostook, Hancock, Penobscot, Piscataquis, Somerset, and Waldo), and there are about 58 populations known. The populations are mostly small; only a few populations have more than 60 individuals. Threats to the species include loss of habitat. Most of the populations are on privately owned land.

# Carl August Liner

Carl August Liner (8 June 1871, St. Gallen - 20 March 1946, Appenzell) was a Swiss painter, graphic artist, designer and inventor. He is sometimes referred to as Senior to distinguish him from his son, Carl Walter Liner, who was also a well known painter.

## Biography

He came from a large family of craftsmen. From 1890 to 1893, he studied basic painting with Johann Caspar Herterich and "en plein aire" techniques with Paul Hoecker at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich.
In 1894, he worked as an art teacher and illustrator in St. Gallen. From 1897 to 1899, he made a study trip to Paris, Rome, and the village of Terracina. He was offered a professorship at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in 1901, but declined.
He married Cécile Bernet, the daughter of a textile merchant, in 1902. They had five children, including the painter, Carl Walter Liner (sometimes called "Junior"). In 1906 he acquired a farm not far from Appenzell and operated it until 1930, when he purchased an estate. In 1913, at the suggestion of Ferdinand Hodler, he founded the St.Gallen branch of the GSMBA (Gesellschaft Schweizerischer Maler und Bildhauer [de]). He was elected President of the GSMBA Executive Board in 1928, but quit in 1931 over issues related to politics.
In addition to his paintings, he designed postage stamps and posters and did illustrations. It was this work that provided most of his income. He was also an amateur inventor and holds the patent for an early version of the single-axis mower (forerunner of the present rotary mowers). It wasn't until the 1930s that his paintings began to earn money. In 1934, he made a trip to Egypt to do portraits, commissioned by the firm of Reinhart & Schmidheiny [de].
For many years, he had suffered from bone tuberculosis and, by 1940, his health had deteriorated to the point that work was nearly impossible. In 1942, he became paralyzed from the waist down and was permanently hospitalized.
Major retrospectives were held in 1983 (Pfäffikon) and 1996 (Appenzell). To honor him and his son, who died in 1997, the "Museum Liner Appenzell" was opened in 1998. It has since been renamed the Kunstmuseum Appenzell [de].
