Edition of 1920. See also Moritz Retzsch on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
RETZSCH, rĕtsh, Moritz, German artist: b. Dresden, 9 Dec. 1779; d. Holflossnitz, near Dresden, 11 June 1857. As a painter his subjects were taken largely from German and Greek mythology and display beauty in drawing and color. Retzsch's illustrations of the great poets, comprehending the drawings executed by him for editions of Goethe's ‘Faust,’ and the works of Schiller and Bürger, have rendered him deservedly famous. He executed a ‘Shakespeare Gallery’ consisting of 80 plates. In 1824 he was appointed a professor in the Art Academy at Dresden. His illustrations of poetry and legend were done in outline and are distinguished by exquisite delicacy and refinement of form and expression.

Edition of 1920. See also Ernst Graf zu Reventlow on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
REVENTLOW, rā'vĕnt-lō, Ernst, Count, German journalist: b. Husum, 1869. He attained the rank of captain in the German navy and afterward engaged in journalism. He was an ardent supporter of Germany's schemes for world dominion which culminated in the European War, and as an editorial writer on the Deutsche Tageszeitung advocated extreme ruthlessness, particularly in submarine warfare. He accused United States Ambassador Gerard of being a British spy; but assailed Zimmerman for the plot to form an alliance berween Mexico and Japan against the United States. He furiously attacked Germany's leaders for a supposed inclination to yield to the United
States' demands for respect of its rights after the sinking of the Lusitania, and the Tageszeitung was suspended 25 June 1915. For an attack on Bethmann-Hollweg, accusing him of misleading von Hindenburg, he was sued for slander in 1916. Author of ‘Russische-Japanische Krieg’ (3 vols. 1904-06); ‘Deutschfand in der Welt voran’ (1905); ‘England der feind’ (1914); ‘Flotte in diesem grossen Kriege’ (1915); ‘Deutschlands auswärtige Politik, 1888-1914’ (1916); ‘The Vampire [England] of the Continent’ (1916), etc.

REUTER AGENCY, an English news service opened in London by Julius Reuter in 1851, and now the most important institution of its kind in the British Empire. It has correspondents in all the great news centres of the world and furnishes telegraph and other news features throughout the eastern hemisphere and,
to some extent, to Latin America, the United States and Canada. See Press Associations; Reuter, Paul Julius.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Ribault, Jean

Edition of 1920. See also Jean Ribault on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
RIBAULT, rē-bō, or RIBAUT, Jean, French soldier and colonist in the New World: b. Dieppe, about 1520; d. Florida, 1565. A Huguenot, he was sent by Admiral Coligny to establish a colony of French Protestants in North America. He went out in 1656 with an advance party, with which he built a fortress at Port Royal in the present South Carolina. A garrison of 30, left by him in charge, finally mutinied and, having slain their leader, set out in a crazy vessel for France. Half famished, they were carried by an English cruiser to London. Ribault was made governor of a proposed colony in Florida in 1564 and sent out René de Laudonnière, who built Fort Caroline near the mouth of the Saint John's. In May 1565 Ribault himself with seven vessels and a force of 300 set sail for the colony, where he arrived 28 August. A Spanish expedition under Pedro Menendez de Avilès had, shortly after Ribault's arrival, begun work on intrenchments on the site of Saint Augustine, and Ribault determined on an attack before the fortifications had been completed. His ships, however, were wrecked in a hurricane, and Menendez, marching overland, captured Fort Caroline and butchered almost all whom he found there. Ribault, with most of his force, was saved, endeavored to return but was intercepted by Menendez, and with a portion of his followers were murdered. This ended the Huguenot colony in Florida. Consult Gaffard, ‘La Floride française’ (1875); Parkman, ‘Pioneers of France in the New World’ (1885).
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Edition of 1920. See also Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, located at Troy, N. Y. It was founded by Stephen Van Rensselaer in 1824 as a school of practical science, being the first school of science and the first school of engineering to be established in any English-speaking country. It was first opened to students in January 1825 and incorporated in March 1826. It was at first named the Rensselaer School, afterward the Rensselaer Institute and finally the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Lectures on land surveying and engineering were given as early as 1823; and after 1850 the Institute became more distinctly a school of civil engineering; the course at that time was lengthened from one year to three years. It now offers two courses of four years each, one in natural science and one in civil engineering. These courses include instruction in chemical analysis, mineralogy, metallurgy and assaying, as well as in the design and construction of roads, railroads, bridges, roofs, arches, dams, steam
engines, electric engines, dynamos, turbines, foundations, waterworks, tunnels, sewers and canals. The degrees of B.S. and C.E. are conferred. The students in 1917 numbered 687 and the faculty 63. Its influence has been widespread. Students have come to it from 42 of the States of the Union and 25 foreign countries, and its graduates are at present practising their profession in 45 of the States and 19 foreign countries. Its standing as a professional school is shown by the following extract from the report to the German government by Prof. A. Riedler of the Royal Polytechnicum of Berlin: “The greatest number of renowned hydraulic and railroad engineers of America are graduates of this school.”
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Reuter, Fritz

Edition of 1920. See also Fritz Reuter on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
REUTER, roi'tĕr, Fritz, German dialect poet and story writer: b. Stavenhagen, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, 7 Nov. 1810; d. Eisenach, 12 July 1874. He studied law at the universities of Rostock and Jena, and in 1833 was condemned to death at Berlin for his share in a students' democratic society. His sentence was,
however, commuted by the king to 30 years' imprisonment. Till 1838 he was a close prisoner in various Prussian fortresses, and after a farther period of confinement in the Mecklenburg fortress of Dömitz was set free in 1840. For 10 years he devoted himself to farming but in 1850 became a private teacher in the Pomeranian town of Treptow. In 1853 he was made famous by the publication of humorous poems in the Platt-Deutsch dialect, entitled ‘Läuschen un Rimels’ (new series, 1858). These were followed by ‘Polterabendgedichte’ (1855) and ‘Reis' nah bellegen’ (1855). His later works comprise ‘Kein Hüsung’ (1858); a tragical village story in verse; ‘Hanne Nüte und de lütte Pudel’ (1859); ‘Schürr-Murr’ (1861), a collection of tales in both Low and High German; and ‘Olle Kamellen’ (1860-68), his chief prose work, a series of tales in Platt-Deutsch, including ‘Ut de Franzosentid’ (1860); ‘Ut mine Festungstid,’ an account of his conviction, and imprisonment (1862); ‘Ut mine Strontid,’ his masterpiece (1864); ‘Dörchlauchting’ (1866); and ‘De Reis' nah Konstantinopel’ (1868); ‘Die Drei Langhäuse’ (1878), a satirical play; ‘Lustspiele und Polterabendgedichte’ (1883); and ‘Reuter-Reliquien’ (1885). Reuter's stories are lacking in plot, but are marked by clever episodes, skilful character drawing and a humor, which, despite the difficulty of his medium, was universally appreciated in Germany. An edition of his works appeared in 1863-68, and in 1875 two volumes of ‘Nachgelassene Schriften,’ with biography, were added by Wilbrandt. Consult Ebert, H., ‘Fritz Reuter, sein Leben und seine Werke’ (Güstrow 1874); Gädertz, K. T ‘Aus Fritz Reuters jungen und alten Tagen’ (2d ed., 3 vols., Wismar 1897-1901); Glagau, O., ‘Fritz Reuter und seine Dichtungen’ (2d ed., Berlin 1875); Römer, A., ‘Fritz Reuter in seinem Leben und Schaffen’ (Berlin 1895); Thurber, C.

Edition of 1920. See also Paul Reuter on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
REUTER, Paul Julius, Baron, German telegraph promoter: b. Cassel, Germany, 21 July 1816; d. Nice, France, 25 Feb. 1899. He settled in Aix-la-Chapelle in 1849, where he first established his system of transmitting news by telegraph to the leading towns on the Continent, and in 1858 removed to London, where he undertook to supply the English newspapers with foreign news. His enterprise, known as “Reuter's Agency,” occupied a unique field and grew in importance from year to year until it is now in operation in all parts of the world. In 1865 he obtained the permission of the government to lay a cable from England to Cuxhaven, and shortly after to lay one between France and the United States. In 1872 the shah of Persia granted to him the exclusive rights of constructing railways, farming customs and control of the natural resources of the country, but later exchanged these privileges for that of establishing the bank of Persia. He was created baron by the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha in 1871.

# The History of the Bohemian Persecution/Chapter 22

CHAP. XXII.
IN the yeare 1488. Matthias King of Hungary, proscribed the brothers from Moravia, some hundreds of them having taken a Minister with them by name Nicholas Slansky, came through Hungary and Transilvania into Moldavia, unto whom some two years afterwards, the Brothers sent one of their Elders, Elias Krenowski, with letters desiring them with patience, to endure their banishment for the Truth, but Moravia being not long after restored to the King of Bohemia, Wladislaus being ​made King of Hungary, after the death of Matthias the brothers were restored.

Chap. XXI.
Abominable Lyes cast upon the Brothers.
1. BUt to returne back a little, in the year, 1471. Rokizane dyed, having wrastled with dispaire, and citing King George, who came to visite him, to appeare with him before the Tribunall of God, who one moneth after followed him: and Wladislaus a Polonian did succeed him, a milde and a gentle Prince. To whom, the Brothers being againe overwhelmed with many false Accusations, did write an Apology, desiring him that he would suffer nothing by force to be acted on them.
2. Which did so exasperate some wicked men ​that in the year, 1476. they indeavoured by a most impudent invention, to stirre up against them the hatred of all men. They had suborned a most light man, by art a Polender, by name Lezka, which if you interpret it signifies a lyar, the sound agreeing with the thing, who upholding that he came from the Piccardins, and was an Elder amongst them, would seem to discover wonderfull secrets, as how in their conventicles they would blaspheme God, the Virgin Mary, and the Saints, traduce the Sacraments, with their scoffings, mingle them selves incestuously after the manner of the Adamites, commit murthers, practise witch-craft, heape up most vaste summes of money, &c. This man they did leade through Townes and Cities as a spectacle, they brought him into their Temples, where he should abjure his errours, and most hainous crimes, and beseeched the people to pray for him most wretched sinner, and to take heed by his example, of the most wicked Piccardins. They tooke also his confession in writing, and published it, being confirmed with the seales and subscriptions of some Deanes and Priests, that where Lezka himselfe could not come in person, his confession might be read in the Churches to the people.
3. But this indeavour of the Devill did come to nothing, for the Brothers by publick writings did confute their Lyes, and Lezka trembling so often to ​forswear himselfe in the sight of the people, and to speak lies in the stead of truth, refused any longer to obey them, and confessed that hee was suborned to do what he did, and that he knew not any of the Piccardines.
4. Howsoever this impudence, and these obloquies of the Devill, by the accustomed goodnesse of God, did prove good for some, who making experience of so great a Villany, began privately and in disguises to frequent the Assemblies of the Brethren, and finding it to bee farre otherwise, than was reported, they did associate themselves with the brothers, as with true Christians.
# The History of the Bohemian Persecution/Chapter 26

CHAP. XXVI.
Andrew Policka a Martyr.
HE was a Citizen of Cuttenburgh, but by reason hee had changed hi Religion, he came to Litomissa, to which place his wife being unwilling to follow him, when on a certain time he came back to see her, shee betrayed him. Therefore being taken, hee so long was vexed with the Calixtine Priests, that he promised to live againe with his wife, and to obey the Priests. This he did outwardly; but his Conscience inwardly did check him for it: therefore on a solemn day, when the Parson, his sermon being ended, had brought forth the Hoste, and placed it on the Altar, and the people falling down did worship it, Andrew being not able to contain the fire bur​ning within him, cried out with a loud voice. Hold thy peace thou wicked Sacrificer, It is now my turn to speake. And turning to the people, he said, What doe you doe, deer Brethren, what doe you worship a God of Bread? Oh worship the living God in heaven, blessed for evermore. The Parson forbad the people to return an answer to him, and willed them to lay held on that most wicked knave the Piccardine. At the first, all were amazed, no man would lay his hand on him: at the last some were found, who falling on him, did buffet him with their fists, and beating his head against the pillar, did draw him almost covered with bloud unto the prison.
2. The next day he was brought into the Court, the Senate and the Parson being present, and being demanded whether he would speak those words again which he spake yesterday, he affirmed that he would. Being asked again, By what Instinct he durst doe it. He answered, by what Instinct did Abraham depart from the Idolaters, and worship the euerliving God. They pressing on him to tell them precisely, by whose perswasion hee durst commit so hainous a fact? hee answered, By whose perswasion did David oppose himselfe against the worshipping of Idolls.
3. On this they cried out, Hold thy peace, we know these things better than thou, wee need ​not be taught by thee; Wee know that thou hast here some accomplices, whom, since by thy owne accord thou wilt not discover, thou shalt do it by force, whereupon they commanded him to be carried back to the prison, and by and by to be put on the Racke, but not able by torment to rack any thing from him. they condemne him to the fire, as an obstinate Heretick. the chief Officer being desired by the Priests, not to suffer him to speake as hee was going to the execution, least he should infect the people with his words, The Officer agreed with him to forbear speaking, or otherwise he would stop his mouth. Andrew promised silence, and performed what he promised, speaking nothing all the way, but praying softly to himselfe. At the last, when the fire began to sindge his head, he cried out, Iesus the son of the everliving God, be mercifull, be mercifull, be mercifull to me a sinner, which were all the words he spake. The Priests turning to the people, said, Behold at last he calleth on lesus, in whom he living would not believe, nor reverence his Sacraments.

Variation in Spectroscopic Shift
In the case of a body reflecting light, the shift differs from that for a body emitting it. If the planet be on the ​further side of the Sun, the approaching rim advances both toward the Sun and toward the Earth, thus doubling the shift. The receding rim recedes in like manner. At elongation the rims approach or recede with regard to the Earth, but not the Sun, and the shift is single as for emission. At inferior conjunction rotational approach to the Earth implies rotational recession from the Sun, and the two effects cancel.

On the Planets' Orbital Tilts
The tilts of the plane of rotation of the Sun and of the orbits of the several planets to the dynamical plane of the system tabulated are:—
| Sun | 7° |
| Mercury | 6° 14′ |
| Venus | 2° 4′ |
| Earth | 1° 41′ |
| Mars | 1° 38′ |
| Asteroids | various |
| Jupiter | 20′ |
| Saturn | 56′ |
| Uranus | 1° 2′ |
| Neptune | 43′ |
where, in the determination of that plane, the latest values of the masses of the planets and the rotations of the Sun, Jupiter, and Saturn have been taken into account.
These tilts suggest something, doubtless, but it is by no means clear what it is they suggest. They are just as compatible with a giving off from a slowly condensing nebula as with an origin by shock. The greater inclinations of Mercury and Venus may be due to their late birth from the central mass without the necessity of a cataclysm, the rotation of that central mass out of the general plane being caused by the consensus of the motions of the particles from which it was formed. The accordance of the larger planetary masses with the dynamical plane of the system would necessarily result from their great aggregations. So that this, too, is quite possible without shock.
