MARSH, Sylvester, American engineer: b. Campton, N. H., 30 Sept. 1803; d. Concord, N. H., 30 Dec 1884. In 1826 he established a provision business in Boston, in 1833 in Chicago and from 1837 was in the grain trade at Chicago. He originated the meat-packing industry and is regarded as one of the founders of Chicago. From 1864 he resided in New Hampshire. On 25 June 1858, he obtained a charter for a railway to the summit of Mount Washington, a project deemed so impossible that he was called “crazy Marsh.” The railway, 2.81 miles long, with an ascent of 3,625 feet, was completed in July 1869. The chief feature in the operation of the road is a central cog-rail. The principle proved so practicable that literally hundreds of similar railways have been constructed on the sides of famous mountains all over the world.

MADISON, Lucy Foster, American novelist: b. Kirksville, Mo., 8 April 1865. She was educated at the high school in Louisiana, Mo., and was married in 1890 to W. S. Madison. She has published ‘A Maid of the First Century’ (1899); ‘A Maid at King Alfred's Court’ (1900); ‘A Colonial Maid’ (1902); ‘A Daughter of the Union’ (1903); ‘A Maid of Salem Towne’ (1906): ‘Peggy Owen’ (1908); ‘Peggy Owen at Yorktown’ (1911); ‘Time's Follower’ (1914); ‘A Life of Joan of Arc’ (1918).
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Marble Faun, The

Edition of 1920. See also The Marble Faun on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
MARBLE FAUN, The. The ‘Marble Faun’, was begun by Nathaniel Hawthorne during his visit to Italy in 1858 and was published in 1860. In England it was issued as the ‘Transformation.’ The scene is laid in Rome, but two of the four chief characters are Americans. The most interesting person in the story, however, is Donatello, a young Italian of noble birth who bears a strong resemblance to the statue of a faun by Praxiteles, and who, according to a tradition in his family, numbered a faun among his early progenitors. There are two women characters, of different types. Miriam is of a rich, full-blooded nature, and her past is bound up with some terrible mystery. Hilda, who is said to have been drawn with the writer's daughter in mind, was evidently intended as an example of the pure and self-contained New England maiden, but she has been aptly characterized by one critic as an “admirable little icicle.” The romance is a study of the effects of a great guilt on these persons, and especially on Donatello, in whom it brings about the change referred to in the English title of the book. Hawthorne here seems to be considering the great question of the mission of sin in the world, but in the end the explanation which he allows one of the characters to suggest he makes Hilda reject with horror. The romance has serious technical defects. It contains an excess of traveler's descriptions, which, however excellent in themselves, have little to do with the story; and it fails to satisfy the curiosity which the author persistently arouses regarding Miriam's past. Dissatisfaction with the ending was so great that in a later edition the author added a chapter of explanation, which, however, he justly regarded as no improvement. The chief merits of the book lie in the conception of Donatello, in the elusive symbolism and suggestiveness which characterize all Hawthorne's best work, and in several impressive scenes. Some of these, like the meeting with the model in the catacombs and the visit to the church of the Capuchins where the murdered monk lies, have a more dramatic quality than is usual with Hawthorne.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Marble, Manton

MARBLE, mär′bl, Manton, American journalist: b. Worcester, Mass., 16 Nov. 1834; d. Maidstone, England, 24 July 1917. He was educated at the Albany Academy and the University of Rochester, being graduated from the latter in 1855. After spending seven years in the employ of Boston and New York newspapers he bought the New York World, on the staff of which he had been employed from 1858 to 1860. Marble was engaged in a controversy with President Lincoln concerning the publication of certain dispatches in the World. The latter journal was temporarily suspended from publication. Marble was one of the first to recognize and give publicity to the writings of Herbert Spencer. In 1885 President Cleveland sent Marble to the British, French and German governments as special envoy to discuss the subject of international bimetallism. On his return, after conferences with various European authorities, he advised the President that upon the co-operation of the United Kingdom, for which neither Tory nor Liberal leaders were prepared, depended the German and French resumption of free bimetallic coinage, and advised that United States purchase of silver should cease. Marble was one of the founders of the Manhattan Club and at one time the president of that organization. He belonged also to many literary and scientific societies, among them the Century Association, the Round Table, the Cobden Club and Metropolitan Club. He was the author of ‘Letter to Abraham Lincoln,’ ‘The Presidential Counts,’ ‘A Secret Chapter of Political History’ and a memoir of Alex. G. Mercer, which prefaced his ‘Notes of an Outlook on Life.’

MARSH, George Perkins, American scholar and diplomat: b. Woodstock, Vt., 15 March 1801; d. Vallombrosa, Italy, 23 July 1882. He was graduated at Dartmouth in 1820; studied law at Burlington; was elected to the Supreme Executive Council of Vermont in 1834; sat in Congress from 1842 to 1849, when he went to Constantinople as Minister for four years, and in 1852 was sent on a special mission to Greece. In 1861, after seven years in the United States, he went to Italy as Minister, and held that post until his death. An able English philologist, Marsh wrote ‘Lectures on the English Language’ (1861); ‘The Origin and History of the English Language’ (1862); ‘Man and Nature,’ in which he urged forest planting and forest preservation (1864), etc. He edited Wedgewood's ‘Etymology’ and translated Rask's ‘Icelandic Grammar.’ Consult the ‘Life and Letters’ edited by his widow (1888).

MARSH, Othniel Charles, American palæontologist: b. Lockport, N. Y., 29 Oct 1831; d. New Haven, Conn., 18 March 1899. He was graduated from Yale in 1860, studied in 1860-62 at the Yale (now the Sheffield) Scientific School, in 1862-65 at the German universities of Berlin, Heidelberg and Breslau, and from 1866 until his death was the first professor of palæontology at Yale. From 1882 he was vertebrate palæontologist to the United States Geological Survey, his field-wotk for the survey ceasing in 1892. His investigations in regard to extinct vertebrates are very important and were declared by Charles Darwin to furnish some of the most satisfactory evidence of the evolutionary theory. He made particular study of the Rocky Mountain region, and from 1868 almost annually organized and conducted expeditions into that district. In these explorations he discovered over 1,000 new fossil vertebrates, of which he classified and described more than one-half. Among his discoveries are those of the Odontornithes, a subclass of Cretaceous birds, with teeth; the Dinocerata, ungulate animals of the Eocene period, elephantine in size; the first known American pterodactyls, or flying lizards, and several new families of dinosaurs. Perhaps he was best known for his study of the primitive horse, the Eohippus, Orohippus and Epihippus. In 1890-99 he made
researches in the geology of the region between the Appalachian range and the Atlantic. He was curator of the geological collection of the Yale Museum of Natural History in 1867-99, and in 1898 presented to the university his collections. He was a nephew of George Peabody (q.v.), and it is said to have been at his suggestion that the Peabody Museum at Yale was established. In 1887 he was made honorary curator of vertebrate palæontology in the United States National Museum, and in 1898 received the Cuvier medal of the French Academy of Sciences. He was president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1878 and of the National Academy of Sciences in 1883-95. From a bibliography of 237 titles these works by him may be cited: ‘Odontornithes: A Monograph of the Extinct Toothed Birds of North America’ (1880); ‘Dinocerata: A Monograph of an Extinct Order of Gigantic Mammals’ (1884), and ‘The Dinosaurs of North America’ (1896).

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Magda

Edition of 1920. See also Heimat (play) on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
MAGDA. Sudermann's ‘Heimat’ (“Home”) was the sensation of the theatrical season 1889-90 in Berlin, and the play, either in the original German or in translations commonly bearing the title ‘Magda’ — the name of the heroine — is probably to be regarded as the most widely known and the most successful drama of the end of the century. Its success is traceable to at least four causes: its theme of revolt against paternal tyranny is one to which the times were sympathetic, its construction is skilful and in every sense theatrical, it contains a number of picturesque episodes and amusing characters, and is distinguished for animated dialogue; but most of all, its heroine is an unconventional, self-assertive, and emotional “new woman” who affords an actress an unusual opportunity for temperamental display. The technique is a clever combination of the naturalism of Ibsen and the methods of the drame à thèse familiar in the works of Dumas fils. The conventional raisonneur — in the person of the Pastor Heffterdingk — mediates between Magda and her father, and debates with each the problems presented by the situation of a prodigal daughter who returns home after a life of moral irregularity but operatic success. We are bidden to despise respectability and admire independence. But the representative of each side is far from being an acceptable champion. Magda's father fails to recognize the difference between a child with duties and a human being with rights, and Magda reveals no conception of the fact that duty is only in part a social obligation and is in its innermost essence an obligation of self-respect.

He practised law in Paris, and in 1841, being deputed to inspect the charitable institutions of the first arrondissement of the city, planned the crèche or day nursery for the care of children of working mothers. The first crèche was opened 14 Nov. 1844 at Chaillot; a Société des Crèches was founded in 1846; and his plan was described in his book, ‘Des Crèches’ (1845). Marbeau played a less prominent part in other charities and wrote on various problems of pauperism. Consult the ‘Life’ by Roussel (1876).

MARCOU, mär-koo', Jules, American geologist: b. Salins, France, 20 April 1824; d. Cambridge, Mass., 17 April 1898. He studied at Besançon and the Collége de Saint Louis in Paris; devoted himself to geology after several journeys through Switzerland, in which he made the acquaintance of Jules Thurmann, to whom he owed an introduction to Louis Agassiz. In 1846, after taking part in the geological survey of the Jura Mountains, he was appointed assistant mineralogist in the Sorbonne; in 1848 having been appointed traveling geologist to the Jardin des Plantes came to America, explored the Lake Superior Country together with Agassiz and made wide and important geological studies in Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and after several trips back to Europe settled in Cambridge, where he assisted Agassiz in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, From 1853 to 1855 he was in government employ, and from 1875 till shortly before his death was again in the service. Marcou made a section map of the 35th parallel from the Mississippi to the Pacific, and published ‘Geological Map of the United States and British Provinces of North America’ (1853); ‘A Catalogue of Geological Maps of America’ (1884); ‘Geology of North America’ (1858); ‘Life, Letters and Works of Louis Agassiz’ (1896).

# The Flying Gang

I served my time, in the days gone by, In the railway's clash and clang, And I worked my way to the end, and I Was the head of the "Flying Gang". 'Twas a chosen band that was kept at hand In case of an urgent need; Was it south or north, we were started forth And away at our utmost speed. If word reached town that a bridge was down, The imperious summons rang -- "Come out with the pilot engine sharp, And away with the flying gang."
Then a piercing scream and a rush of steam As the engine moved ahead; With measured beat by the slum and street Of the busy town we fled, By the uplands bright and the homesteads white, With the rush of the western gale -- And the pilot swayed with the pace we made As she rocked on the ringing rail. And the country children clapped their hands As the engine's echoes rang, But their elders said: "There is work ahead When they send for the flying gang."
Then across the miles of the saltbush plain That gleamed with the morning dew, Where the grasses waved like the ripening grain The pilot engine flew -- A fiery rush in the open bush Where the grade marks seemed to fly, And the order sped on the wires ahead, The pilot must go by. The Governor's special must stand aside, And the fast express go hang; Let your orders be that the line is free For the boys in the flying gang.
