Edition of 1920. See also Mikania on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
MIKANIA, also known as WILLUGHBEIA (both Neo-Latin from the names of J. C. Mikan and Francis Willughby, respectively), a genus of composite plants of the tribe Eupatorieæ and sub-tribe Agerateæ. It is widespread throughout tropical and temperate America and grows either in an erect shrub or in twining vines. The genus numbers more than 150 recognized varieties, all natives of the warmer regions of America, except one species which grows in Asia and tropical Africa. The plant is characterized by opposite leaves, heart-shaped or triangular, toothed at the base and with petioles. The flowers are small and white, pinkish or yellowish. The tropical types, M. amara, M. cordifolia and M. guaco, have a high reputation in South America for the cure of snake bite, and administration of a medicine made from them is also supposed to render one immune to snake bite. There is no scientific proof of the efficacy of the herb either as remedy or
preventive. M. scandens is the familiar climbing hempweed, with abundant pink flowers, growing in moist soil from Long Island to Texas.

MIKLOSICH, Franz von, Austrian philologist: b. Luttenherg, Styria, 20 Nov. 1813; d. Vienna, 7 March 1891. He took his degree in philosophy at Gratz and in law at Vienna; and for a time practised law at Vienna, soon, however, abandoning that profession for the study of the Slavonic languages. He was appointed to a place in the Imperial Library in 1844 and retained it until 1862, also serving as professor of Slavonic philology at the University of Vienna in 1849-86. He was a man of profound scholarship and not only
revolutionized modern Slavonic philology but made important contributions to the knowledge of the Albanian, Gypsy, modern Greek, Hungarian and Rumanian languages. He was a member of the Academy of Vienna and a corresponding member of the French Academy of Inscriptions. His first contribution to Slavonic philology was his review, in 1844, of Bopp's ‘Comparative Grammar.’ From that time he issued a large number of works, not only on the Slavonic but on other languages, all of high importance, and among which the most notable are ‘Vergeleichende Grammatik der Slawischen Sprachen’ (1852-74); ‘Etymologisches Wörterbuch der Slawischen Sprackhen’ (1886).

THE COURTSHIP OF MAURICE BUCKLER.
A ROMANCE
Being a record of the growth of an English Gentleman, during the years of 1685-1687, under strange and difficult circumstances, written some while afterward in his own hand, and now edited by
A. E. W. MASON
12mo. Cloth. $1.25
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin: In spirit and color it reminds us of the very remarkable books of Mr. Conan Doyle. The author has measurably caught the fascinating diction of the seventeenth century, and the strange adventures with which the story is filled are of a sufficiently perilous order to entertain the most Homeric mind.
Boston Courier: In this elaborately ingenious narrative the adventures recorded are various and exciting enough to suit the most exacting reader. The incidents recited are of extreme interest, and are not drawn out into noticeable tenuity.
The Outlook: "The Courtship of Maurice Buckler " is not only full of action and stimulating to curiosity, but tells a quite original plot in a clever way. Perhaps in its literary kinship it approaches more closely to " The Prisoner of Zenda " than to any other recent novel, but there is no evidence of imitation ; the resemblance is in the spirit and dash of the narrative. The merit of this story is not solely in its grasp on the reader's atten- tion and its exciting situations ; it is written in excellent English, the dialogue is natural and brisk, the individual characters stand out clearly, and the flavor of the time is well preserved.

# The Forth Bridge/Drawings

Drawings.
All detail drawings were made at the drawing offices attached to the works and submitted to the engineers previous to being passed into the workshops. If necessary, full-size drawings were made on the blackened floor of the large drawing loft, and from these all templates were made in wood. The templates were carefully cut to size, all holes drilled in them, and all necessary information and description branded upon the template in clear type. In certain cases, such as bracing bars, which recur several hundred times over, some of the bars themselves were used as templates. For the erection of the superstructure the tracings were transferred to sheets prepared by the ferro-prussiate process, by which the only part of the paper remaining white is that which underlies the full or dotted lines of the tracings. The drawing is, therefore, of white lines upon a deep blue ground.
# The Forth Bridge/Expansion Joints in Rails

Expansion Joints in Rails.
These are all arranged on the same principle, though of different lengths. In the approach viaduct span, and at the fixed ends of the central girders, the movements are so insignificant that a very short rail-joint suffices to regulate the lateral displacement of the points due to contraction; but, at the sliding ends of the central girders, where provision is made for a longitudinal movement of two feet, and at the ends of the fixed cantilevers, where half that length is provided, the arrangement is somewhat more complicated. Without going more into detail, it will suffice to say that the long rail-tongue is made an absolute fixture to the rail-trough in which its uncut end rests. Its pointed end, cut at an angle of 1 in 63, projects into the opposite trough and rests on a plate fixed therein, laying up close to the backing rail, which is bent away at an angle of 1 in 63 from the point of the tongue. The outside of the flange of the rail-tongue is cut in long steps at the same angle of 1 in 63, and is held down by draw-washers to the plate, which forms one piece with the backing-rail, but in such manner that it can slide in and out with the expansion and contraction. In doing so, however, by means of the sloping steps it draws the lower plate and with it the backing-rail always close up to the joint, which thus retains its position relative to the centre line of the bridge and thus keeps the gauge correct. The contrivance is very ingenious and unfailing in its action. (See Fig. 127.) The wind fence on each side of the viaduct is 4 ft. 6 in. high, and of close lattice work, and it is crowned by a handsome teak handrail of substantial appearance.
# The Forth Bridge/Commencement of the Permanent Work

Commencement of the Permanent Work.
The positions of the four main piers on Fife being fixed at an early date, a beginning was made with the excavation of the rock upon the site of the two north piers. The natural bedrock of whinstone rose here to a level of from 10 ft. to 20 ft. above high water, and excavation had to be made to the level at which the foundation or holding-down bolts started—namely, at 7 ft. below high water. The rock was then levelled with rubble masonry and the building of the granite courses commenced.
Fig. 31. Raft Used for Survey of Foundations.
Excavation was also started upon the site of the north cantilever pier at a level of about 21 ft. above high water, and upon viaduct piers, 10 and 11, at 25 ft. and 22 ft. above high water respectively. These three piers stand on high ground, while piers 12 and 13 were placed at the bottom of the ancient quarry, and were founded at level 7 ft. below high water. The foundations of the abutment upon the hillside was commenced somewhat later at level 92 ft. above high water. All the piers on the Fife side are founded on the solid whinstone rock, with the exception of piers 12 and 13, these being partly on whinstone, partly on freestone. All the viaduct piers being on land no cutwaters were built. The rock after being cleaned and examined, and worked roughly into steps where necessary, was levelled up with concrete and a bed of concrete laid on from 4 ft. to 11 ft. in thickness—this bed projecting all round the granite masonry some 2 ft. Upon this concrete foundation the first course of granite was set, the form of the piers being rectangular and the curved batter of the pier starting from the bed. (See Plate VIII.) Piers 10, 11, 12 and 13 were built to level 37 ft. above high water, and left, pending the construction of the girders.
# The Fall of Maximilan's Empire/Frontispiece

* Frontispiece.ARCHDUKE MAXIMILIAN OF AUSTRIA
"I have gathered a posy of other men's flowers, and nothing but the thread that binds them is mine own."
A LETTER-BOOK and a log-book are the foundation upon which the fabric of this narrative rests. By reading between the lines, and with kind aid, in the way of correspondence and conversations, from some of the officers that were present, it has been possible to unfold the creditable drama of the "Tacony's" short cruise. Furthermore, a scrutiny of various executive documents, departmental files, and volumes of diplomatic correspondence, has elicited from those musty sources certain interesting matter, not presented in any history, connected with the closing scenes of Prince Maximilian's short reign In Mexico.
# The Fall of Robespierre. An Historic Drama/Dedication

TO
H. MARTIN, Esq.
OF
JESUS COLLEGE,
CAMBRIDGE.
Dear Sir,
ACCEPT, as a small testimony of my grateful attachment, the following Dramatic Poem, in which I have endeavoured to detail, in an interesting form, the fall of a man, whose great bad actions have cast a disastrous lustre on his name. In the execution of the work, as intricacy of plot could not have been attempted without a gross violation of recent facts, it has been my sole aim to imitate the empassioned and highly figurative language of the French Orators, and to develope the characters of the chief actors on a vast stage of horrors.
Yours fraternally,
S. T. COLERIDGE.
