​ VIRGINIA AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE AND POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE. An institution founded in 1871 on the land grant of 1862. It offers courses in agriculture, horticulture, applied chemistry, general science, civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering, and shorter courses in practical agriculture and practical mechanics. The sciences hold the foremost place in the curriculum, but every course includes a certain element of general culture. The courses are so arranged as to give the student an approximately equal amount of class work and of laboratory, shop, or field practice. The degrees conferred are bachelor and master of science and civil, mechanical, and electrical engineer. Military drill is required of the students. The total enrollment in 1903 was 627, with 40 instructors. The library contained 3600 volumes. The gross income was $117,006 and the total valuation of the college property was about $700,000. The institution has about 50 buildings and 1200 acres of land, owned or leased, valued at $250,000.

​REINICKE, rï'nik-e, Paul René (1860- ). A German painter and draftsman, born at Strenz-Naundorf, near Halle. He studied at Weimar under Struys, at Düsseldorf under Gebhardt, and at Munich under Piglhein, whom he accompanied to Palestine. Settled afterwards in Munich, he found the true field for his talent in drawing sketches for the Fliegende Blätter, in which his masterly delineations from the social life of the upper classes in its various aspects soon became an eagerly looked-for specialty. A selection of ​his drawings was published in Munich (1890) under the title "Spiegelbilder aus dem Leben." His "Waiting Room of the First Class in the Munich Railway Station" is in the National Gallery, Berlin. He was awarded a gold medal in 1882.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Reindeer moss

Edition of 1905. See also Cladonia rangiferina on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​REINDEER MOSS (Cladonia rangiferina). A lichen of great importance to inhabitants of the northernmost regions of the Northern Hemisphere, where it covers great areas and furnishes the chief winter food of the reindeer. It is found in almost all parts of the world, but is most abundant and luxuriant in arctic and sub-arctic regions, often occupying the ground in pine and spruce forests. When such forests are destroyed by fire it soon reappears. It is a variable plant, but always consists of a much-branched, erect, cylindrical, tubular thallus, with small perforations in the axils, and attains a height of two inches or more. Its importance was first brought into notice by Linnæus in his Flora Lapponica. It is sometimes used for human food. Its taste is pleasant, although attended with a slight pungency or acridity. It is generally boiled in reindeer milk. Its nutritious qualities depend chiefly on a form of starch, lichenin, which it contains.

​REINECKE, rī'nēk-e, Karl (1824— ). A German pianist, born at Altona. He studied with his father, Johann Peter Rudolph Reinecke, a musical composer and director. He was Court pianist to Christian VIII. at Copenhagen from 1846 to 1848. He became teacher at the Cologne Conservatory in 1851, and occupied at later times the positions of musical director at Barmen, academic musical director and conductor of the Singakademie at Breslau, conductor of the Gewandhaus Concerts at Leipzig, and teacher at the Conservatory. His compositions are both refined and classic throughout, but possess here and there a marked touch of the romantic. Among his works are: Serenade, Aus der Jugendzeit, Neues Notenhuch für kleine Leute; Nocturne; studies, sonatas, quartets, quintets, and trios. The five-act grand opera König Manfred was produced in 1807; the operetta Ein Abenteuer Händels, in 1874; two three-act comic operas, Auf hohen Befehl and Der Gouverneur von Tours, in 1886 and 1891 respectively.

​REINHART, rīn'härt, Charles Stanley (1844-96). An American genre painter and illustrator. He was born in Pittsburg, Pa. From ​1868 to 1870 he studied at the Atelier Suisse, Paris, and at the Royal Academy, Munich, under Streyhüber and Otto. Upon his return to the United States he illustrated for various foreign and American magazines, and frequently exhibited works in oil, watercolors, and black-and-white at the National Academy. From 1881 to 1891 he resided in Paris, exhibiting regularly at the Salon, afterwards becoming a member of the Society of American Artists, New York. Reinhart excelled in black-and-white, his oils and water-colors being mostly marine views, painted in sombre but delicate colors. In oil are: the "Old Life Boat" (1880); "Mussel Fisherwomen" (1886); "Washed Ashore" (1887), which won the gold medal (Philadelphia, 1888); and the "Rising Tide" (1888), purchased by the Government at the Paris Exposition, 1889. His water-colors include "Gathering Wood" (1877), "At the Ferry" (1878), and the "Spanish Barber" (1884).

Edition of 1905. See also Johann Christian Reinhart on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​REINHART, Christian (1761-1847). A German landscape painter and etcher, born at Hof, Bavaria. First instructed by Œser in Leipzig, he studied at the Dresden Academy under Klengel, but chiefly after the Dutch masters, and in 1789 went to Rome, where he settled permanently and under the influence of Carstens and Koch became a conspicuous exponent of the historic landscape. His best work is represented by the "Eight Historic Landscapes" (1825), in the Palazzo Massimi, Rome, and "Four Views from Villa Malta," in tempera, painted for King Louis I. of Bavaria. The New Pinakothek in Munich contains "Four Views Near Rome" (two dated 1836, 1846), the Leipzig Museum a "Wood on Seashore in a Storm" (1824) and "Landscape with Psyche" (1829), the Städel Institute, Frankfort, a landscape with "Cain and Abel," and the Cologne Museum a "View from Tivoli." To a collection of seventy-two etchings of prospects in Italy, published conjointly with Dies and Mechan under the title Malerisch radirte Prospecte aus Italien (1792-98) Reinhart contributed twenty-four plates, the best of the series. Besides these he etched many other Italian landscapes, and thirty-eight animal studies, in all 170 plates. Consult: Baisch, Reinhart und seine Kreise (Leipzig, 1882); and Andresen, Die Deutschen Maler-Radirer, i. (ib., 1866).
# The New International Encyclopædia/Reinick, Robert

Edition of 1905. See also Robert Reinick on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​REINICK, rï'nïk, Robert (1805-52). A German painter, etcher, and poet, born and educated in Danzig. He studied painting under Begas in Berlin and at the Düsseldorf Academy, and settled at Dresden in 1844. Several pleasing pictures, either historical or romantic in subject, had come from his brush after 1830—for example, "Rachel and Jacob at the Well" (Stettin Museum), "Well Near Olevano," and several others (Danzig Museum)—but his most interesting productions are those in which his pictorial and poetic talents are blended, such as "Drei Umrisse nach Holzschnitten von Dürer mit erläuterndem Text und Gesängen" (1830). With Kugler he published the Liederbuch für deutsche Künstler (1833), with woodcuts by Gubitz, and then the Lieder eines Malers mit Randzeichnungen seiner Freunde (1838), with thirty-one etchings by himself and other Düsseldorf artists. He supplied the poetical text to Rethel's "Dance of Death." and was associated with Ludwig Richter in editing Hebel's Allemannische Gedichte (1851), of which he gave a High-German version. A sixth edition of his collected Lieder, with a biography by Auerbach, was published in Berlin in 1873. His natural ability as a juvenile poet is well exemplified by the Lieder und Fabeln für die Jugend (2d ed. 1849), the Illustriertes ABC-Buch für kleine und grosse Kinder (4th ed. 1876), and the fairy-tale Die Wurzelprinzessin (1848). The poetical works for young people appeared collected under the title Märchen-, Lieder- und Geschichtenbuch (11th ed., Leipzig, 1895).

# The New International Encyclopædia/Reinhold, Karl Leonhard

Edition of 1905. See also Karl Leonhard Reinhold on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​REINHOLD, Karl Leonhard (1758-1823). A German philosopher, born in Vienna. In 1772 he entered the Jesuit College of Saint Anna, but upon the suppression of this Order in 1774 he joined the Barnabites, and was for some years an inmate of their College of Saint Michael. His religious zeal in the meantime had cooled considerably, and in 1783 he left the Order and went to Leipzig, where he devoted himself to philosophy. Afterwards he settled in Weimar. His contributions to the Deutseher Merkur attracted much attention, and in 1787 his Briefe über Kantsche Philosophie appeared in this periodical. His clear and eloquent exposition of Kant's doctrines, which at that time were being combated, resulted in his being appointed to a professorship of philosophy in Jena. In 1789 he published his chief work, Versuch einer neuen Theorie des menschlichen Vorstellungsvermögens, in which he attempts to broaden the teachings of Kant. He then for a time identified himself with Fichte's doctrines and even tried afterwards in his Paradoxien der neuesten Philosophie to find a middle way between Fichte and Jacobi in order to satisfy his religious sentiments, but when Bardili's logic appeared he deserted both and joined the latter's rational idealism. The reason for this change he gives us in his treatise Wahrheit (1820).

# The New International Encyclopædia/Selkirk Mountains

Edition of 1905. See also Selkirk Mountains on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
​ SELKIRK MOUNTAINS. A mountain range in the southeastern part of British Columbia, lying west of and nearly parallel to the Rocky Mountains, from which it differs in geological formation, and from which it is separated by the long, narrow, and straight valley of the Upper Columbia River (Map: British Columbia, F 4). The latter, with its tributary, the Kootenay, and Kootenay Lake, almost completely encircles the range, which is about 200 miles long and 80 miles wide. Although lower than the neighboring Rockies, the Selkirk Range is much more Alpine in character, and consists of rugged peaks, snow fields, glaciers, and precipices, below which the slopes are densely timbered to a height of 6000 feet. The highest peak is Mount Sir Donald, with an altitude of 10,645 feet. The Canadian Pacific Railroad crosses the range at an altitude of 4300 feet through Roger's Pass, which, with the surrounding magnificent region, is a national park reserve. Consult Green, Among the Selkirk Glaciers (London, 1890).
# The Mill on the Floss/Conclusion

Nature repairs her ravages,–repairs them with her sunshine, and with human labor. The desolation wrought by that flood had left little visible trace on the face of the earth, five years after. The fifth autumn was rich in golden cornstacks, rising in thick clusters among the distant hedgerows; the wharves and warehouses on the Floss were busy again, with echoes of eager voices, with hopeful lading and unlading.
And every man and woman mentioned in this history was still living, except those whose end we know.
Nature repairs her ravages, but not all. The uptorn trees are not rooted again; the parted hills are left scarred; if there is a new growth, the trees are not the same as the old, and the hills underneath their green vesture bear the marks of the past rending. To the eyes that have dwelt on the past, there is no thorough repair.
Dorlcote Mill was rebuilt. And Dorlcote churchyard–where the brick grave that held a father whom we know, was found with the stone laid prostrate upon it after the flood–had recovered all its grassy order and decent quiet.
Near that brick grave there was a tomb erected, very soon after the flood, for two bodies that were found in close embrace; and it was visited at different moments by two men who both felt that their keenest joy and keenest sorrow were forever buried there.
One of them visited the tomb again with a sweet face beside him; but that was years after.
The other was always solitary. His great companionship was among the trees of the Red Deeps, where the buried joy seemed still to hover, like a revisiting spirit.
The tomb bore the names of Tom and Maggie Tulliver, and below the names it was written,–
"In their death they were not divided."
