# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Archæopteryx

Edition of 1879. See also Archaeopteryx on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
Archæopteryx, Restored.
ARCHÆOPTERYX (Gr. ἀρχαῖος, ancient, and πτέρυξ, wing), the name given by Owen to the recently discovered long-tailed or reptilian bird of Solenhofen, one of the connecting links between the reptile and the bird, which made its appearance, as far as known, during the oolitic epoch of the Jurassic period. In the mesozoic age, not only the mammals but the birds had reptilian characters, and the earliest birds had long vertebrated tails. The tail in A. macrurus (Owen) was 11 inches long and 31/2 wide; it consisted of 20 vertebræ, with a row of feathers along each side, the feathers being in pairs corresponding to the number of vertebræ, and diverging at an angle of 45°; the last pair extended backward nearly in the axis of the tail, and 31/2 inches beyond it. The wing appears to have had a two-jointed finger, and its breadth was made by feathers as in birds, and not by an expanded membrane as in the pterodactyl and other flying reptiles; the feet were also like those of birds, and its body was covered with feathers. As we know comparatively little of the terrestrial reptiles of the triassic or preceding period of the mesozoic age, and very little of its bird-like forms beyond that afforded by the footprints in the Connecticut valley, it is expected by naturalists friendly to the doctrine of evolution that future researches will reveal birds more reptilian than the archæopteryx, and bird-like reptiles, which will go far toward filling the gap which now exists between reptiles and birds.

In the latter place he commenced the importation of English books, and in the course of years, by his energy of character, established one of the largest importing and publishing houses in the United States, which is now continued by his sons.
# St. Johns Review/October 27, 1911/Oregon in the Library

From the St. Johns Review, vol. 7, no. 51 (October 27, 1911).
Oregon in the Library
Knowledge, like charity, should begin at home. How much do you know about Oregon? The world is talking about us—witness the current magazines—therefore it behooves us to know ourselves. Winter is a poor time for traveling, but the best of seasons for settling down at home and finding out what a good state we live in. Whether your taste is for romance or stern reality, adventure, poetry or fairy tales, history or politics, the literature of Oregon can please you. Having been the home of the Indian and the pioneer, Oregon is the land of romance and adventure: being the home of the mountains and the sea, it is the land of beauty; becoming the home of the thinker, it is the land of progress. Below are a few of the books on Oregon which the library can furnish, many of them by Oregon authors. A longer list may be seen at the reading room:
Bridge of the Gods—A romance of Indian Oregon.
McLoughlin and Old Oregon—Dye. “A spirited narrative of what life in the wilderness meant in the early days, a record of heroism, self sacrifice and dogged persistence; a graphic page of the American pioneer.”
McDonald of Oregon—Dye. A tale of two shores. “It is like telling of some grand old epic, to show the spirit of those men who blazed the trail to an unknown wilderness.”
Short history of Oregon—Johnson. “Every home in Oregon might well welcome this condensed readable history of Oregon.”
Letters from an Oregon Ranch—Stephens. “The hours of delight, as well as those of trial, which fall to the lot of ‘Katherine,’ in creating a home out of the raw materials of nature, are chronicled with naive humor, and in a vein of hearty optimism which will make a hearty appeal.”
The Conquest—Dye. Being a true story of Lewis and Clark. A historical romance.
Sheriff of Wasco—Jackson.
Jimmy John Boss—Wister.
Columbia River—Lyman.
Mountains of Oregon—Steele.

From Notebook, p. 103, reversed. First draft of the poem The Angel (Blake) in Songs of Experience
The Angel
I dreamt a dream! What can it mean? And that I was a maiden queen Guarded by an angel mild. Witless woe was ne'er beguil'd!
And I wept both night & day, And he wiped my tears away, And I wept both day & night, And hid from him my heart's delight.
So he took his wings & fled; Then the morn blush'd rosy red; I dried my tears & arm'd my fears With ten thousand shields & spears.
Soon my angel came again. I was arm'd, he came in vain, [Dut del.] For the time of youth was fled, And grey hairs were on my head.

# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Scolithus

Edition of 1879. See also Skolithos on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
* Scolithus linearis.
SCOLITHUS, a supposed fossil burrowing worm of the arenicola family, whose long vertical holes are very common in the Potsdam sandstones, of the lower Silurian period. These holes, now filled with rocky material, were for a long time believed to be the
remains of a fucoid plant, and afterward until recently to indicate the existence of a long marine worm, which inhabited the sanda not far below tide level. The most common form has been named S. linearis, and, whatever it be, is one of the earliest fossils. Since attention has been paid to the habits of sponges, especially to those of cliona and its allies, which mine and perforate shells, some palæontologists are disposed to attribute the scolithus marks to these rather than to marine worms. Sponges are known to have existed at the period of the Trenton limestone, next above the Potsdam sandstone, and it is highly probable that most if not all of those burrows are due to ancient mining sponges.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Shiloh (Palestine)

Edition of 1879. See also Shiloh (biblical city) on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
SHILOH (Heb., rest, peace), a town of ancient Palestine, in the division of Ephraim, on a high mountain N. of Bethel. It was the seat of the ark of the covenant from the last days of Joshua to the time of Eli. An annual “feast of the Lord” was observed at Shiloh, and one of these celebrations was made an opportunity for the remnants of the defeated Benjamites to supply themselves with wives, by lying in ambush in the vineyards and seizing some hundreds of the dancing women. After the carrying off of the ark by the Philistines, at the close of Eli's life, Shiloh sank into total insignificance. Its site is now identified with Seilun, a small place with some Roman remains, 20 m. N. of Jerusalem. The words in Gen. xlix. 10, which are rendered in the authorized English version “until Shiloh come,” and are by Christian theologians referred to Christ as prince of peace, are explained by Jewish writers as meaning “until he (Judah) come to Shiloh,” and by Vater, Gesenius, and other critics translated “until rest come.”
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Shiloh (Tenn.)

Edition of 1879. See also Battle of Shiloh on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
SHILOH, a locality, so called from a church situated there, near Pittsburgh Landing, on the Tennessee river, in Hardin co., Tenn., where a battle was fought, April 6, 7, 1862, between the Union forces under Gen. Grant and the confederates under Gens. A. S. Johnston and Beauregard. The battle is sometimes called that of Pittsburgh Landing. After the evacuation of Nashville, the confederate forces in the west were concentrated near Corinth, Miss., while Grant was preparing to move so as to cut off their communications in western Tennessee. On April 1, with about 32,000 men, he reached Pittsburgh Landing, where he was to be joined by Gen. Buell. Johnston, who had about 45,000 men, moved from Corinth and attacked Grant on the morning of the 6th. The attack fell first upon the divisions of W. T. Sherman and Prentiss, both of which were driven back, three regiments of the latter being captured and the whole army forced back almost to the landing. In the afternoon Buell's advance appeared on the opposite bank, and a single division crossed while the battle was going on. Gen. Johnston was mortally wounded, and the command devolved upon Beauregard, who assailed the Union centre and left, on which most of the artillery had been concentrated, and which were also covered by two gunboats. The attack was repelled, and at night a bombardment was opened, which compelled the confederates to retire a little.
The remainder of Buell's command crossed during the night, raising the Union force to about 45,000. Grant opened the action early on the morning of the 7th, by an artillery fire, before which the confederates fell back. This was followed by a general assault, which was obstinately resisted. The action continued till 4 P. M., when the confederates retreated. The Union loss, as officially reported, was 1,700 killed, 7,495 wounded, and 3,022 prisoners; in all, 12,217. The confederate loss, as reported by Beauregard, was 1,728 killed, 8,012 wounded, and 959 missing; in all, 10,699. (See Corinth.)

SHREVEPORT, a city and the capital of Caddo parish, Louisiana, in the N. W. corner of the state, on the W. bank of Bed river, at the head of low-water navigation, 330 m. above its mouth according to Humphreys and Abbot, or 500 m. by local authorities; pop. in 1870, 4,607, of whom 2,168 were colored. It has since been enlarged, and the population in 1875 was locally estimated at 12,000. It contains many handsome residences and substantial business structures, is lighted with gas, and has a good fire department and several miles of street railroad. The principal public buildings are the new market, costing $50,000; the Presbyterian church, costing $35,000; and the synagogue, a fine specimen of architecture. The surrounding country is very productive, and the climate is mild and generally healthful. Shreveport is the E. terminus of the Texas and Pacific railroad, which affords an all-rail route to St. Louis via Marshall, Tex. Steamers run regularly to New Orleans and intermediate points on the Red and Mississippi rivers. The trade is extensive and increasing, the value of shipments amounting to about $7,500,000 a year, and the sales of merchandise to about $7,000,000. The shipments of cotton average 100,000 bales annually, including about 20,000 bales from the upper Red river reshipped at this point. The transactions in hides, wool, and tallow are also considerable. The principal manufactories are two of carriages, one each of cotton gins, cotton-seed oil, sash and blinds, and spokes and hubs, three founderies and machine shops, a planing mill, two saw mills, and three breweries. There are three private banks, two public schools (one for white and one for colored children), nine private and denominational schools and academies, two daily and weekly newspapers, and eleven churches (Baptist, Episcopal, Jewish, Methodist, Presbyterian, and Roman Catholic), of which five are for colored people. Shreveport was incorporated in 1839.

A famous naval battle between the fleets of the Taira and Minamoto families, in which 1,200 junks were engaged, was fought near it in 1185. In 1864 the forts near Shimonoseki were bombarded and destroyed by a combined fleet of one United States, five British, three French, and four Dutch men-of-war, in retaliation for the act of the daimio of Choshiu in firing on the vessels of those nations while they were passing through the strait. Besides $420,000 demanded as a compensation for injuries, the Japanese government was obliged to pay an indemnity of $3,000,000, of which the United States received $750,000.
