ROON, rōn, Albrecht Theodor Emil von, Prussian soldier: b. Pleushagen, 30 April 1803; d. Berlin, 23 Feb. 1879. He entered the army in 1821; was attached to the Topographical Bureau in Berlin, 1833-35; became captain in 1836, and major in 1842; in 1848 became chief of staff of the 8th Army corps at Coblentz, took part in the campaign at Baden of that year; and was promoted lieutenant-general in 1859. In the latter year he was appointed a member of a commission on the reorganization of the army. He had given special attention to this subject for many years, but his proposals which were in effect an extension with modifications of Scharnhorst's system, embracing a universal three years' service and a reserve, were carried only after long opposition. The Austrian War of 1866 demonstrated that value of his system. He attended the German emperor throughout the Franco-Prussian War, and was created a count in 1871. The Ministry of War which he had held since 1859 he resigned in 1871 together with the Ministry of Marine, held since 1861. In 1872 he succeeded Bismarck as president of the Prussian Cabinet and was made field-marshal shortly after; but soon resigned. He was author of several works on geography published between 1832 and 1839.

ROOSEVELT, rō'zë-vĕlt, Nicholas J., American inventor: b. New York, 27 Dec. 1767; d. Skaneateles, N. Y., 30 July 1854. He engaged in manufacturing and inventing in New York and was connected with Robert R. Livingston and John Stevens in experimental boat-building. In 1798 he conceived the idea of a vertical wheel, a suggestion which made steam navigation a success. The first experiment was made in a boat launched in 1802 and propelled by the vertical wheels. In 1809 he was associated with Fulton in the introduction of steamboats into Western waters and in 1811 built and launched the New Orleans, with which he made a pioneer trip down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers in 14 days. He obtained letters patent from the United States government in 1814 protecting his invention, but was denied protection by the New Jersey legislature. Fulton never claimed the invention as his own, and Roosevelt's title to it has never been legally proved.

ROOSEVELT, Robert Barnwell, American author and politician: b. New York, 7 Aug
1829; d. Sayville, L. I., 14 June 1906. He was admitted to the bar and practised law in New York until 1871, when he was elected to Congress. In 1888 he was appointed Minister to the Netherlands and served two years. He was active in opposing the Tweed ring, and wrote several works of natural history. His most important public service, however, was in the establishment of the United States Fish Commission, of which measure he was the originator and promoter while in Congress.

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Ronge, Johannes

Edition of 1920. See also Johannes Ronge on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
RONGE, Johannes, yō-hän'nĕs rŏng'ė, German Anti-Catholic religious leader: b. Bischofswalde, Silesia, 16 Oct. 1813; d. Vienna, 26 Oct. 1887. He studied theology at the University of Breslau 1837-39, was ordained to the priesthood in 1840, and in 1841 became chaplain at Grottkau. Having manifested an opposition to the discipline of the Church, he was suspended in 1843. On 1 Oct. 1844 he published a letter against the exhibition of the “holy coat” at Treves, which was soon followed by the organization of the so-called German Catholic congregations. (See German Catholics). He published in succession a number of pamphlets, in which he called on the Roman Catholic laity and the lower clergy to leave the communion of that Church. These were generally understood to be written from the standpoint of deism; and in subsequent years Ronge pronounced himself more and more unreservedly in favor of deistic doctrines. He took part with the radicals in 1848 and was obliged to flee to London, where he signed in 1851, with Ruge, Struve, Kinkel, and others, a democratic manifesto to the German people, and where he became the leader of a free congregation. In consequence of the amnesty granted by the Prussian government, he in 1861 again made his appearance in Breslau. He founded a reform association at Frankfort-on-the-Main in 1863, and from 1873 resided at Darmstadt. Consult the article ‘Deutschkatholiken’ in Wetzer und Welte's ‘Kirchenlexikon.’
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Roric figures

Edition of 1920. See also the disclaimer.
RORIC FIGURES (Fr. figures roriques, from Lat. ros, dew), a name applied to certain curious images rendered manifest upon breathing on polished solid surfaces, when these have been previously exposed to contact or close proximity of the objects thus represented, and at the same time have been acted upon by light, heat or electricity. The singularity of these phenomena is, that they consist usually in the production at the first of a sort of latent or invisible image, but this may afterward be developed or brought out, somewhat in the manner of photography. Consult Chwolson, O. D., ‘Lehrbuch der Physik’ (1902).

# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/To the Willow-tree

262. TO THE WILLOW-TREE.
Thou art to all lost love the best, The only true plant found, Wherewith young men and maids distres't, And left of love, are crown'd.
When once the lover's rose is dead, Or laid aside forlorn: Then willow-garlands 'bout the head Bedew'd with tears are worn.
When with neglect, the lovers' bane, Poor maids rewarded be, For their love lost, their only gain Is but a wreath from thee.
And underneath thy cooling shade, When weary of the light, The love-spent youth and love-sick maid Come to weep out the night.

Tent, a roll of lint for probing wounds.

166. UPON CUPID.

He saw my palm, and then, said he, I tell thee by this score here,
That thou within few months shalt be The youthful Prince d'Amour here.
I smil'd, and bade him once more prove, And by some cross-line show it, That I could ne'er be prince of love, Though here the princely poet.

# The House by the Lock/Chapter 14

CHAPTER XIV AN EXTRA SPECIAL
Lady Tressidy was so full of plans for the future–Karine's future with Carson Wildred–that my soul sickened of her chatter, and I took myself off as soon as it was decently possible to do so. With no further chance of private talk with Karine much of my incentive for remaining was gone, at all events, and I was anxious to think out the puzzle regarding the transfer of the ring.
To recapitulate, Farnham had announced his intention of keeping it until the necessity arose for having it cut from his finger. Still, it seemed he had not kept it, and it had not been cut off. The conviction was strong within me that Wildred had obtained the jewel by foul play. Yet how could he have done this, short of severing from the hand the finger that had worn it?
Strange fancies flitted luridly through my brain. In a few days more Harvey Farnham would have landed in New York, and I could reach him there at the hotel he had mentioned as his favourite; or in Denver, Colorado, if he had chosen to pursue his homeward journey without a night's delay.
I counted the hours which must pass before I could attempt any such communication, and they seemed to rise like a high wall between me and my hopes and my suspicions.
As I walked homeward, involuntarily hastening my footsteps, I heard the newsboys crying out some item of intelligence for the evening papers. "Extry Speshul! Extry Speshul!" "Mysterious Discovery in the Thames!"
So preoccupied was I that the words passed into my ears without making any definite impression on my mind; or, if they did, it was the mere rhythm of the different shouting voices that impressed itself upon me.
So often were they repeated from all sides as I walked on that at length the short sentences began to form a species of intoned accompaniment to my thoughts, without assuming a separate importance in my consciousness.
Suddenly, however, a grimy infant of tender years and appalling precocity flourished a pink sheet, smelling of the printer's ink, directly under my eyes.
"Buy a paper, guv-nor!" he cajoled me. "Hall abeout the 'orrid murder and the 'eadless man."
I seldom read evening papers, and to-night, of all nights, I had little inclination for such irrelevant mental diet. But I flung the child a copper, and found the halfpenny journal thrust into my hand.
I would have tossed it from me carelessly, but the headlines relating to the latest sensation caught my eye.
Then, forgetful of the crowds who stared at me in my agitation, I strode nearer to the white ball of electric light which had shone down upon the page.

# The Jew of Malta/Prologue

The Prologue to the Stage, at the Cocke-Pit.
We know not how our Play may passe this Stage, But by the best ofPoets in that age The Malta Jew had being, and was made; And He, then by the best ofActors play'd: In Hero and Leander, one did gaine A lasting memorie: in Tamburlaine, This Jew, with others many: th' other wan The Attribute of peerelesse, being a man Whom we may ranke with (doing no one wrong) Proteus for shapes, and Roscius for a tongue, So could he speake, so vary; nor is't hate To merit: inhim who doth personate Our Jew this day; nor is it his ambition To exceed, or equall, being of condition More modest; this is all that he intends, (And that too, at the urgence of some friends) To prove his best, and if none here gaine-say it, The part he hath studied, and intends to play it.

# The Jew of Malta/Epistle Dedicatory

TO MY WORTHY FRIEND, M$^{r.}$ Thomas Hammon, OF GRAYES INNE, &c.
His Play, composed by so worthy an Authour as Mr. Marlo; and the part of the Jew presented by so unimitable an Actor as Mr. Allin, being in this later Age commended to the Stage: As I usher'd it unto the Court, and presented it to the Cock-pit, with these Prologues and Epilogues here inserted, so now being newly brought to the Presse, I was loath it should be published without the ornament of an Epistle; making choyce of you unto whom to devote it; then whom (of all those Gentlemen and acquaintance within, the compasse of my long knowledge) there is none more able to taxe ​ignorance, or attribute right to merit. Sir, you have bin pleased to grace some of mine owne workes with your curteous patronage; I hope this will not be the worse accepted, because commended by mee; over whom, none can clayme more power or privilege than your selfe. I had no better a New-yeares gift to present you with; receive it therefore as a continuance of that inviolable obliegement, by which, he rests still ingaged; who as he ever hath, shall alwayes remaine,
Tuissimus:

In Graving, with Pigmalion to contend; Or Painting, with Apelles, doubtlesse the end Must be disgrace: our Actor did not so, He onely aym'd to goe, but not out-goe. Nor thinke that this day any prize was plaid, Here were no betts at all, no wagers laid; All the ambition that his mind doth swell, Is but to heare from you, (by me) 'twas well.
