# The American Journal of Science/Series 3, Volume 14/A New Order of Extinct Reptilia (Stegosauria) from the Jurassic of the Rocky Mountains

APPENDIX.
The Museum of Yale College has recently received the greater portion of the skeleton of a huge reptile, which proves to be one of the most remarkable animals yet discovered. It was found on the eastern flank of the Rocky Mountains, in beds which I have regarded as corresponding nearly to the Wealden of Europe, and which may be classed as upper Jurassic. The remains are well preserved, but are embedded in so hard a matrix that considerable time and labor will be required to prepare them for a full description. The characters already determined point to affinities with the Dinosaurs, Plesiosaurs, and more remotely with the Chelonians, and indicate a new order, which may be termed Stegosauria, from the typical genus here described.
Stegosaurus armatus, gen. et sp. nov.
In this specimen, some of the teeth preserved have compressed crowns, and are inserted in sockets. Others are cylindrical, and were placed in rows, either in thin plates of imperfect bone or in cartilage. The latter are especially numerous, and may possibly prove to be dermal spines, having all the essential characters of teeth, as in some fishes. The vertebræ are biconcave, their neural arches being coosified with the centra, and the chevrons articulated. The limb bones indicate an aquatic life. The body was long, and protected by large bony dermal plates, somewhat like those of Atlantochelys (Protostega). These plates appear to have been in part supported by the elongated neural spines of the vertebræ.
The length of one of the compressed teeth of this species is 112 mm., and the greatest diameter of the crown 24 mm. One of the cylindrical teeth is 75 mm. in length, and 7·5 in diameter. Seven of these teeth in position occupy a space of 63 mm. A trunk vertebra measures 450 mm. from base of centrum to top of neural spine, and 170 mm. to the floor of the neural canal. The extent of seven posterior caudal vertebræ is 660 mm. One of the large dermal plates was over three feet (one meter) in length.
The present species was probably thirty feet long, and moved mainly by swimming. For its discovery science is ​indebted to Prof. A. Lakes and Engineer H. C. Beckwith of the U. S. Navy, who found the first remains in Colorado near the locality of the gigantic Atlantosaurus montanus, and in essentially the same horizon.

# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Anthracene

Edition of 1879. See also Anthracene on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
ANTHRACENE (C$_{14}$H$_{10}$), formerly called paranaphthaline, a solid hydrocarbon which accompanies naphthaline in the last stages of the distillation of coal tar, and which has acquired great importance as the material from which artificial alizarine is now manufactured. In an experiment made on a large scale it was found that 100 tons of tar yielded 0.63 ton of anthracene, or one ton of anthracene can be obtained from the distillation of about 2,000 tons of coal, not reckoning the quantity of anthracene contained in the pitch. The preparation of anthracene is conducted as follows: The semi-fluid product of the fractional distillation of coal tar, commonly called green grease, is placed in a centrifugal machine in order to expel mechanically as much as possible of the oil, and the residue is pressed between hot plates. The crude material is carefully distilled, rejecting the portion which comes over between 340° and 350° C., and the portion remaining in the retort is exhausted with rectified petroleum at a boiling heat, filtered, and cooled. The crystalline mass is expressed and the entire operation repeated several times. On recrystallization from alcohol, the nearly pure anthracene is obtained in rhomboidal plates. If these be carefully sublimed, a chemically pure product is obtained. Pure anthracene occurs in bluish-white foliated crystals, having a beautiful violet fluorescence. These crystals are rhomboidal tables. A little above 200° C. it melts to a limpid liquid, which becomes rapidly dark-colored. It is not perceptibly volatile at 100° C., but between 210° and 220° C. it sublimes easily, yielding a fetid and irritating vapor. Distilled at 350° C., it is partially altered. It is quite soluble in boiling alcohol, and in light naphthas, from which it crystallizes out on cooling. Heated slightly with fuming sulphuric acid, it dissolves gradually, giving a greenish solution of the sulphanthracene acid. The green color appears to be due to a trace of nitrous compounds of the acid. Nitric acid attacks anthracene violently, and chlorine and bromine act upon it, yielding substitution products. Anthracene has been made artificially from toluole and from benzole.—The chief use of anthracene is in the artificial production of alizarine. Several patents have been taken out for this purpose by Gräbe and Liebermann, who were the original discoverers in 1869 of the methods of its manufacture. (See Alizarine.)
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Apples of Sodom

Edition of 1879. See also Calotropis procera on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
APPLES OF SODOM, a fruit supposed to grow near the Dead sea, fair to the sight, but when plucked dissolving into smoke and ashes. A general opinion, supported by Hasselquist, is that the “apples of Sodom” are to be found in the fruit of the solanum melongena (nightshade), which he describes as filled with dust or ashes; or at least, when punctured by a certain insect, as it frequently is, the whole interior of the fruit is converted into a fine dust, leaving the rind entire in form and color. Robinson, in his “Biblical Researches,” identifies the apple of Sodom with the asclepias gigantea vel procera. The Arabs call it osher. It is found on the shores of the Dead sea, and
Robinson says that seeing the two (the osher and the nightshade) growing side by side, the former struck him at once from its agreement with the ancient story, while the latter did not. He describes the osher as from 10 to 15 feet high, having a grayish cork-like bark, oval leaves, flowers similar to the silkweed of the northern United States, and as discharging like that plant a milky fluid when broken. The fruit resembles an orange in size and color, but, when even very carefully touched, explodes like a bladder or puff-ball, leaving in the hands only a rind and a few filaments by which the interior was traversed.

Edition of 1879. See also Henry B. Anthony on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
ANTHONY, Henry B., an American journalist and senator, born at Coventry, R. I., April 1, 1815 He was educated at Brown university, became in 1838 editor of the “Providence Journal,” was governor of Rhode Island in 1849 and 1850, and declined a reëlection in 1851. In 1859 he was elected United States senator as a republican, succeeding Philip Allen, a democrat; was reëlected in 1864, and again in 1870. He was a delegate to the Philadelphia convention of 1866, and president pro tempore of the senate for some time in 1869 and 1871.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Appalachees

Edition of 1879. See also Apalachee on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
APPALACHEES, an Indian tribe of Florida, living on a bay which still bears their name. They were of the same family as the Choctaws, and were very numerous. They were at first not friendly to the Spaniards, and made war on them at intervals down to 1638. A Spanish post was established there, and missionaries soon won them over, care being taken to instruct the chiefs, many of whom learned to read and write. The oppression of the Spanish commanders led to a revolt about 1687; and the Spaniards after reducing them compelled many to work on the fortifications. Their appeal to the king in 1688, signed by the chiefs, is still extant. While this discontent prevailed, the English and their Indian allies
invaded the country of the Appalachees, destroying many towns and killing or carrying off great numbers of the people. In 1704 St. Mark's was taken and the missionaries were put to death. The tribe was now reduced from 7,000 to about 400. On the settlement of Louisiana a portion removed to St. Louis in the vicinity of Mobile, while the Spaniards gathered the remainder at Soledad. After 1722 they disappear as a tribe, being probably absorbed in the Choctaw nation.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Anthony, Saint

Edition of 1879. See also Anthony the Great and Anthony of Padua on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
ANTHONY, Saint. I. Surnamed the Great, born in Upper Egypt in 251, died in 356. He was rich and well educated, but sold all his possessions, gave the money to the poor, and retired into the desert, where he spent a great many years in ascetic solitude. At the age of 54 he was persuaded to become the director of a number of anchorets who wished to enjoy his instructions. They dwelt in detached cells in Fayoom, near Memphis, and from this establishment dates the foundation of the monastic system. St. Anthony twice left his retreat and visited Alexandria: once during the persecution by Maximian in 311, when he hoped to obtain the crown of martyrdom; and again in 355, to support his friend Athanasius against the Arians. During his seclusion he is said to have neglected ablutions, clothed himself simply in a hair shirt, and fought with devils. He was reported to have cured a cutaneous disease known before his time as the “sacred fire,” but afterward as St. Anthony's fire, and later as erysipelas. On this tradition an order bearing his name was founded (1095) for the care of patients with this disease by Gaston, a rich French nobleman, at St. Didier-la-Mothe, in gratitude for a supposed cure wrought on his son by the reputed bones of the saint. II. Of Padua, born in Lisbon, Aug. 15, 1195, died in Padua, June 13, 1231. He was one of the leaders of the newly established order of Franciscan monks, and, desirous of martyrdom, embarked for Africa, was shipwrecked on the coast of Italy, and preached with wonderful eloquence and success in the cities of Montpellier, Toulouse, Bologna, and Padua. He was canonized by Pope Gregory IX. in 1232, and is honored especially in Portugal and Italy.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Anthony, Susan Brownell

Edition of 1879. See also the disclaimer.
ANTHONY, Susan Brownell, an American reformer, born in South Adams, Mass., Feb. 15, 1820. Her father was a member of the society of Friends. She was employed in his cotton factory, completed her education in a school at Philadelphia, and from 1837 to 1852 was a teacher in the state of New York. She became interested in the cause of temperance, and an admission to a convention being denied to her on account of her sex, she called a convention of women (1849), and since that time has been conspicuous in various philanthropic and reformatory movements. She has identified
herself especially with the agitation for female suffrage, in the interest of which she has visited many parts of the United States, and delivered numerous lectures and addresses. In 1868 she founded in New York a journal called “The Revolution,” which she conducted for some time in conjunction with Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Parker Pillsbury. She has acted on several occasions as delegate of the New York working women's association.

# The Basic View on the Sovereignty over the Senkaku Islands

[provisional translation]

# The Basic View on the Sovereignty over the Senkaku Islands

October 2012
From 1885 on, surveys of the Senkaku Islands had been thoroughly made by the Government of Japan through the agencies of Okinawa Prefecture and by way of other methods. Through these surveys, it was confirmed that the Senkaku Islands had been uninhabited and showed no trace of having been under the control of China. Based on this confirmation, the Government of Japan made a Cabinet Decision on 14 January 1895 to erect a marker on the Islands to formally incorporate the Senkaku Islands into the territory of Japan.
Since then, the Senkaku Islands have continuously remained as an integral part of the Nansei Shoto Islands which are the territory of Japan. These islands were neither part of Taiwan nor part of the Pescadores Islands which were ceded to Japan from the Qing Dynasty of China in accordance with Article II of the Treaty of Shimonoseki which came into effect in May of 1895.
Accordingly, the Senkaku Islands are not included in the territory which Japan renounced under Article II of the San Francisco Peace Treaty. The Senkaku Islands have been placed under the administration of the United States of America as part of the Nansei Shoto Islands, in accordance with Article III of the said treaty, and are included in the area, the administrative rights over which were reverted to Japan in accordance with the Agreement Between Japan and the United States of America Concerning the Ryukyu Islands and the Daito Islands signed on 17 June 1971. The facts outlined herein clearly indicate the status of the Senkaku Islands being part of the territory of Japan.
The fact that China expressed no objection to the status of the Islands being under the administration of the United States under Article III of the San Francisco Peace Treaty clearly indicates that China did not consider the Senkaku Islands as part of Taiwan. It was not until the latter half of 1970, when the question of the development of petroleum resources on the continental shelf of the East China Sea came to the surface, that the Government of China and Taiwan authorities began to raise questions regarding the Senkaku Islands.
Furthermore, none of the points raised by the Government of China as "historic, geographic or geological" evidence provide valid grounds, in light of international law, to support China's arguments regarding the Senkaku Islands.

# The Alexiad/Introduction

The "Alexiad" of Anna Comnena has long been used as a source of information by historians of the Byzantine Empire and by writers on the First Crusade, and numerous extracts from it have been quoted and translated, yet a complete English translation of it has not been published before.
It was to supply what appeared to me a regrettable omission that I attempted to fill the gap and, as I proceeded with the work, I became more and more interested, for the book gives a picture of wonderful mental and physical energy in the person of its hero, the Emperor Alexius, and helps us to realize the enormous difficulties which confronted a Byzantine Emperor at this period.
Readers of Sir Walter Scott's Count Robert of Paris may also be glad to have a full translation of a work to which he so often alludes.
The present translation is not a free adaptation of the original but is as literal as a translation can well be; hence there is much repetition of words and phrases, for I have striven to reproduce Anna's style as far as possible.
The text on which I have based my version is that of Aug. Reifferscheid in the Teubner edition of 1884.
The proper names (with the exception of those which have acquired a definite English form) I have in most cases transliterated exactly and then added in a footnote the spelling of them as found in Bury's edition of Gibbon, e.g. Apelchasem = Abul-kassim.
I have dispensed with an historical introduction in view of the fact that the Oxford University Press is shortly publishing a book by Mrs. Georgina Buckler, Ph.D., entitled Anna Comnena : a Study, which deals exhaustively with the chief points of interest raised by the Alexiad.
In conclusion, I wish to acknowledge my deep indebtedness to Professor F. H. Marshall, for he looked over my work in manuscript, and gave me many valuable suggestions and kind help in the elucidation of difficulties. And I must also express my grateful thanks to my sister, Mary C. Dawes, M.A., for her patient help in the revision and in the perusal of the proof-sheets.
–Elizabeth A. S. Dawes.
# The Blossom (Donne)

This text was published in 1633.
LITTLE think'st thou, poor flower,  Whom I've watch'd six or seven days, And seen thy birth, and seen what every hour Gave to thy growth, thee to this height to raise, And now dost laugh and triumph on this bough,  Little think'st thou, That it will freeze anon, and that I shall To-morrow find thee fallen, or not at all.
 Little think'st thou, poor heart,  That labourest yet to nestle thee, And think'st by hovering here to get a part In a forbidden or forbidding tree, And hopest her stiffness by long siege to bow,  Little think'st thou That thou to-morrow, ere the sun doth wake, Must with the sun and me a journey take.
 But thou, which lovest to be  Subtle to plague thyself, wilt say, Alas! if you must go, what's that to me? Here lies my business, and here I will stay You go to friends, whose love and means present  Various content To your eyes, ears, and taste, and every part; If then your body go, what need your heart?
 Well then, stay here; but know,  When thou hast stay'd and done thy most, A naked thinking heart, that makes no show, Is to a woman but a kind of ghost. How shall she know my heart; or having none,  Know thee for one? Practice may make her know some other part; But take my word, she doth not know a heart.
 Meet me in London, then,  Twenty days hence, and thou shalt see Me fresher and more fat, by being with men, Than if I had stay'd still with her and thee. For God's sake, if you can, be you so too;  I will give you There to another friend, whom we shall find As glad to have my body as my mind.

# The Blue-Eyes Fairy

The organ grinder's songs from "The starlight express"
   There’s a fairy that hides in the beautiful eyes
   Of the children who treat her well;
   In the little round hole where the eyeball lies
   She weaves her magical spell.
   She is awfully tiny and shy to the sight,
   But her magic’s past believing,
   For she fills you with light and with laughter,
   It’s the spell of her own sweet weaving.
   But!⁠—the eyes must be blue, And the heart must be true,
   And the child must be better⁠—than gold!
   And then if you let her, the quicker, the better,
   She’ll make you forget that you’re old.
   So if such а child you should chance⁠—to see,
   Or with such a child to play,
   No matter how tired⁠—or dull you be,
   Nor how many tons you weigh,
   You will suddenly find that you’re young again,
   And your movements light and airy,
   And you’ll try to be solemn and stiff in vain⁠—
   It’s the spell of the Blue Eyes fairy!
