# Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Euripides

Edition of 1921; disclaimer.
​EURIPIDES (-rip′i-dēz) , a celebrated Athenian tragedian; born in Salamis, in 480 B. C. (or 485). He studied under Prodicus and Anaxagoras, and is said to have begun to write tragedies at the age of 18, although his first published play, the "Peliades," appeared only in 455 B. C. He was not successful in gaining the first prize till the year 441 B. C., and he continued to exhibit till 408 B. C., when he exhibited the "Orestes." The violence of unscrupulous enemies, who accused him of impiety and unbelief in the gods, drove Euripides to take refuge at the court of Archelaus, King of Macedonia, where he was held in the highest honor. Euripides is a master of tragic situations and pathos, and shows much knowledge of human nature and skill in grouping characters, but his works lack the artistic completeness and the sublime earnestness that characterize Æschylus and Sophocles. Euripides is said to have composed 75, or according to another authority 92 tragedies. Of these 18 (or 19, including the "Rhesus") are extant, viz.: "Alcestis," "Medea," "Hippolytus," "Hecuba," "Heracleidæ," ​"Suppliants," "Ion," Hercules Furens," "Andromache," "Troades," "Electra," "Helena," "Iphigenia Among the Tauri," "Orestes," "Phœnissæ," "Bacchæ," "Iphigenia at Aulis," and "Cyclops."
# Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Elm

Edition of 1921; disclaimer.
ELM, a genus of trees, consisting of 13 species, all natives of the N. temperate zone. Two species are common in Great Britain (U. campestris and U. montāná), with many varieties. The U. campestris, or common elm, is a fine tree, of rapid and erect growth, and yielding a tall stem, remarkable for the uniformity of its diameter throughout. The average height of a mature tree is 70 or 80 feet, but some reach 150 feet. The wood is brown, hard, of fine grain, and not apt to crack. The tree generally attains maturity in 70 or 80 years. U. montāna (the mountain or wych elm), a native of Scotland, grows to a less height than the English elm, is of slower growth, and yields a much shorter bole, but it is far bolder in its ramification and more hardy. It usually attains to the height of about 50 feet. The timber is strong and elastic, and the tree often yields large protuberances of gnarled wood, finely knotted and veined, and much esteemed for veneering. U. glabra, the smooth-leaved elm, is a species common in some parts of Great Britain. The most ornamental tree of the genus is U.
pendula, the weeping elm. The American or white elm (U. americana) is abundant in the Western States, attaining its loftiest stature between lat. 42° and 46°; here it reaches the height of 100 feet, with a trunk 4 or 5 feet in diameter, rising sometimes 60 or 70 feet before it separates into a few primary limbs. The red or slippery elm (U. fulva) is found over a great extent of country in Canada, Missouri, and as far S. as lat. 31°; it attains the height of 50 or 60 feet, with a trunk 15 or 20 inches in diameter; the wood is of better quality than that of the white elm. The leaves and bark yield an abundant mucilage. The wahoo (U. alata), inhabiting from lat. 37° to Florida, Louisiana, and Arkansas, is a small tree, 30 feet high.

# Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Ethnography

Edition of 1921; disclaimer.
ETHNOGRAPHY, the systematic description and classification of races. In recent years there has been but little distinction made between ethnology and ethnography, the general tendency being to name the science ethnology. It is a part of anthropology, and includes the studies of living non-historical peoples with a view to their classification. The studies of language and anatomy are not included in the science of ethnography. Under this heading are treated the location, movements or history of the tribe; next, its state of culture, its art, its dress and manufactures, etc. The political, social, and religious ideas should be included in the ethnology of a nation, as also some mention of the place it occupies in relation to other peoples, and its contributions to the general culture of mankind.

Edition of 1921; disclaimer.
EISNER, KURT, a German socialist, born in 1858 in Berlin of Jewish parents. He attended the University of Marburg. From 1890 to 1895 he was contributing editor of the “Frankfurter Zeitung,” during which time he wrote an article attacking Kaiser Wilhelm II, and for which he spent nine months in prison. Upon his release he became editor-in-chief of the Socialist paper “Vorwärts” in Berlin. From 1907-1910 he was connected with a Socialist paper in Nuremberg and both in that city and in Munich he waged a bitter campaign to arouse sentiment in Bavaria against the union with Prussia. Arrested in 1918 for his anti-war activities, he was released later in the same year and when the Revolution occured in November he became a leader in the radical Socialist party with the special objective of dividing the south German states from the Empire. He became Prime Minister in the new Bavarian Government, and at the Berne Conference of Socialists, held at Berne, Switzerland, he attacked the moderate German Socialists because of their refusal to acknowledge Germany's guilt in bringing about the World War of 1914. For this speech and for his uncompromising hostility to Prussia he became bitterly hated by large sections of the
German people. This hostile feeling finally resulted in his assassination on Feb. 21, 1919, while he was walking in
the streets of Munich, on his way from the foreign office to the Parliament.

Edition of 1921; disclaimer.
EINSIEDELN (īn'zē-deln), a town of Switzerland, in the canton of Schwyz, 27 miles S. E. of Zurich by rail. In Einsiedeln great numbers of prayer-books, sacred images, wax candles, rosaries, medallions, etc., are made. The town is, however, chiefly celebrated for its Benedictine abbey, to which some 200,000 pilgrims resort annually to worship at the shrine of a black image of the Virgin, Sept. 14 being the principal day in the year. The abbey itself was founded in the 10th Century, and after being repeatedly destroyed by fire, was rebuilt as a quadrangle in the Italian style in 1704-1719. It contains a valuable library with several incunabula and MSS., these last dating from the 8th to the 12th century; also a museum of natural science and natural history. Rudolph of Hapsburg elevated the abbot of Einsiedeln to the dignity of a prince of the empire in 1274. Near the town the Austrians under Jellachich were defeated by the French under Masséna on Aug. 14, 1799.
# Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Einstein, Albert

Edition of 1921; disclaimer.
EINSTEIN, ALBERT, a Swiss physicist, born in 1875. For a time he held a chair in the Zürich Polytechnic School, and was also for some years a professor in the University of Prague. Later he held a research position in an institution affiliated with the University of Berlin. In 1914 he protested against the manifesto of the German professors. Einstein came into prominence through his theory of relativity, which grew out of his participation in the effort to explain the Michelson-Morley experiment, on the so-called ether-drift of the earth and its negative result. The principle of the theory is the conception of time as a fourth dimension. His theory of relativity was published in 1905 in a book, “Annalen der Physik.” It was further expounded in 1916. This principle of relativity and the deflection of light by gravitation was considered by scientists the most revolutionary discovery in physical science since Newton. In April, 1921, Dr. Einstein visited the United States in behalf of the Zionist movement.

* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
237 U.S. 570
Daniels v. Merrithew
Argued: April 21 and 22, 1915. ---
These five cases were among the fourteen referred to in the opinion in No. 239, just decided [[[237 U.S. 547]], 59 L. ed. --, 35 Sup. Ct. Rep. 740]. For the appellant they were argued in the brief which was filed in No. 239, and which was stated to be applicable to the other fourteen cases. But for the appellees a brief was filed applicable to these five cases. In this brief nothing is said to maintain the existence of the discretionary power under which the Land Department acted, and which we have decided in No. 239 was not possessed, the brief stating that the subject is irrelevant because the correctness of the action of the Land Department and the court below in sustaining the demurrers is maintainable on other grounds, as follows:
1. Because of the failure of the lieu entrymen to file in time the relinquishment made by the state of Oregon, and the assumed resulting priority of the rights of the other entrymen over those of the lieu entrymen. But this contention is governed by the ruling made in No. 239 on the same subject, since we directed attention to the specific finding of the Secretary of the Interior to the contrary and pointed out its binding force.
2. In addition various propositions are urged concerning the bad faith of Daniels in buying the right to the land from the state, and the assumption, based upon this premise, of his want of right to the relinquishment or to use it in order to clear away the supposed impediment on the land record to the allowance of the lieu entries. But, even assuming, for the sake of argument, that the premise of fact upon which this contention proceeded had any real relevancy to the right of the lieu entrymen to acquire the land and to use the relinquishment to enable them to do so, such premise is devoid of merit because of the express finding of the Secretary of the Interior which we have stated in the opinion in No. 239 that Daniels's good faith in the Oregon transaction was established. It is true that the argument in these cases in an indirect way seemingly assails the correctness of this finding, but as it is conclusive here, nothing more need be said on that subject.
It results that these cases, both as to law and the facts, are disposed of by the opinion expressed in No. 239. The decrees sustaining the demurrers in these cases are therefore reversed, and they are remanded for further proceedings in accordance with the opinion in this and in No. 239.
Reversed.

# Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Fall, The

Edition of 1921; disclaimer.
​ FALL, THE, a term used of the first sin of Adam, and hence often called “the fall of Adam,” with which “original sin” his posterity are held to have had mysteriously to do; on which account we often meet with the term “the fall of man.” The verb “to fall” is often used in a generic sense in Scripture for a lapse into sin (Ezek. xliv: 12, Rom. xiv: 13, I Cor. x: 12, Rev. ii: 5. The substantive is not used equivocally in the same sense. “The Fall” is therefore a theological rather than a scriptural term. According to the Biblical narration, God created man in His own image (Gen. i: 27), like the rest of creation “very good” (i: 31). In the midst of the garden of Eden, in which the first parents of our race were placed, was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. This they were forbidden to eat on pain of death, all other trees being freely granted them for food (ii: 16-17). Beguiled by the serpent, Eve first yielded, and then, at her persuasion, Adam ate the forbidden fruit (Gen. iii: 1-6); after this they feared to continue communion with God (8-10), had sentence pronounced against them (16-19), and were expelled from the blissful garden (24). In the New Testament it is indirectly hinted that the devil used the serpent as a mouth-piece, whence he is called “that old serpent . . . which deceiveth the whole world” (Rev. xii: 9), and “the dragon that old serpent” (xx: 2), and is said by our Lord to have been “a murderer from the beginning” (John viii: 44).
# Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Faraday, Michael

Edition of 1921; disclaimer.
FARADAY, MICHAEL, an English scientist; born in Newington Butts, England, Sept. 22, 1791. He received little or no education and was apprenticed to the trade of a bookbinder. During his term of apprenticeship, a few scientific works fell into his hands, and he devoted himself to the study of, and experiments in, electricity. Having attended the lectures given in 1812 by Sir Humphry Davy, and taken notes thereon, he sent them to that great philosopher, and besought some scientific occupation. The reply was prompt and favorable. In 1813 Faraday was appointed chemical assistant, under Sir Humphry, at the Royal Institution. After a continental tour in company with his patron, Faraday, still pursuing his scientific investigations, discovered, in 1820, the chlorides of carbon, and, in the following year, the mutual rotation of a magnetic pole and an electric current. These discoveries led to the condensation of gases in 1823. In 1829 he labored on the production of optical glass; but though unsuccessful in his immediate object, his experiments produced the heavy glass which afterward proved of great assistance to him in his magnetical investigations. In 1831 the series of "Experimental Researches in Electricity," published in the "Philosophical Transactions," began with the development of the induction of electric currents, and the evolution of electricity from magnetism. Three years later Faraday established the principle of definite electrolytic action, and in 1846 received at the same time the Royal and the Rumford medals for his discoveries of dia-magnetism, and of the influence of magnetism upon light respectively. In 1847 he discovered the magnetic character of oxygen, and, also, the magnetic relations of flame and gases. His papers, including other contributions to the store of modern science, are too numerous to mention in detail. In 1833 Faraday was appointed Professor of Chemistry in the Royal Institution, London, which chair he continued to hold until his death. In 1835 he received from government a pension of $1,500 per annum in recognition of his eminent scientific merits. In 1836 he was appointed a member of the senate of London University. From 1829 to 1842 he was chemical lecturer at the Royal Academy. In 1823 Faraday was elected corresponding member of the French Academy, in 1825 he was chosen a Fellow of the Royal Society, and in 1832 made a D. C. L. of Oxford University. He was, besides, a knight of several of the European orders, and a member of the chief learned and scientific societies in Europe and the United States. He died in Hampton Court, Aug. 25, 1867.
