-the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
-before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
-creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
-Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
-the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
-States.

-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
-collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
-"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
-corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
-property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
-computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
-your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project

-work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
-Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
-
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
-To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
-and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
-Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
-permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
-
-The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
-Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
-throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at 809
-North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email
-contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the
-Foundation's web site and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
-
-For additional contact information:
- Dr. Gregory B. Newby
- Chief Executive and Director
- gbnewby@pglaf.org
-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
-SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
-particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
-To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
-unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
-keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-HYDROMECHANICS ([Greek: hydromechanika]), the science of the mechanics
-of water and fluids in general, including _hydrostatics_ or the
-mathematical theory of fluids in equilibrium, and _hydromechanics_, the
-theory of fluids in motion. The practical application of hydromechanics
-forms the province of hydraulics (q.v.).
-
- _Historical._--The fundamental principles of hydrostatics were first
- given by Archimedes in his work [Greek: Peri ton ochoumenon], or _De
- iis quae vehuntur in humido_, about 250 B.C., and were afterwards
- applied to experiments by Marino Ghetaldi (1566-1627) in his _Promotus
- Archimedes_ (1603). Archimedes maintained that each particle of a
- fluid mass, when in equilibrium, is equally pressed in every
- direction; and he inquired into the conditions according to which a
- solid body floating in a fluid should assume and preserve a position
- of equilibrium.
-
- In the Greek school at Alexandria, which flourished under the auspices
- of the Ptolemies, the first attempts were made at the construction of
- hydraulic machinery, and about 120 B.C. the fountain of compression,
- the siphon, and the forcing-pump were invented by Ctesibius and Hero.
- The siphon is a simple instrument; but the forcing-pump is a
- complicated invention, which could scarcely have been expected in the
- infancy of hydraulics. It was probably suggested to Ctesibius by the
- _Egyptian Wheel_ or _Noria_, which was common at that time, and which
- was a kind of chain pump, consisting of a number of earthen pots
- carried round by a wheel. In some of these machines the pots have a
- valve in the bottom which enables them to descend without much
- resistance, and diminishes greatly the load upon the wheel; and, if we
- suppose that this valve was introduced so early as the time of
- Ctesibius, it is not difficult to perceive how such a machine might
- have led to the invention of the forcing-pump.
-
- Notwithstanding these inventions of the Alexandrian school, its
- attention does not seem to have been directed to the motion of fluids;
- and the first attempt to investigate this subject was made by Sextus
- Julius Frontinus, inspector of the public fountains at Rome in the
- reigns of Nerva and Trajan. In his work _De aquaeductibus urbis Romae
- commentarius_, he considers the methods which were at that time
- employed for ascertaining the quantity of water discharged from
- ajutages, and the mode of distributing the waters of an aqueduct or a
- fountain. He remarked that the flow of water from an orifice depends
- not only on the magnitude of the orifice itself, but also on the
- height of the water in the reservoir; and that a pipe employed to
- carry off a portion of water from an aqueduct should, as circumstances
- required, have a position more or less inclined to the original
- direction of the current. But as he was unacquainted with the law of
- the velocities of running water as depending upon the depth of the
- orifice, the want of precision which appears in his results is not
- surprising.
-
- Benedetto Castelli (1577-1644), and Evangelista Torricelli
- (1608-1647), two of the disciples of Galileo, applied the discoveries
- of their master to the science of hydrodynamics. In 1628 Castelli
- published a small work, _Della misura dell' acque correnti_, in which
- he satisfactorily explained several phenomena in the motion of fluids
- in rivers and canals; but he committed a great paralogism in supposing
- the velocity of the water proportional to the depth of the orifice
- below the surface of the vessel. Torricelli, observing that in a jet
- where the water rushed through a small ajutage it rose to nearly the
- same height with the reservoir from which it was supplied, imagined
- that it ought to move with the same velocity as if it had fallen
- through that height by the force of gravity, and hence he deduced the
- proposition that the velocities of liquids are as the square root of
- the head, apart from the resistance of the air and the friction of the
- orifice. This theorem was published in 1643, at the end of his
- treatise _De motu gravium projectorum_, and it was confirmed by the
- experiments of Raffaello Magiotti on the quantities of water
- discharged from different ajutages under different pressures (1648).
-
- In the hands of Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) hydrostatics assumed the
- dignity of a science, and in a treatise on the equilibrium of liquids
- (_Sur l'equilibre des liqueurs_), found among his manuscripts after
- his death and published in 1663, the laws of the equilibrium of
- liquids were demonstrated in the most simple manner, and amply
- confirmed by experiments.
-
- The theorem of Torricelli was employed by many succeeding writers, but
- particularly by Edme Mariotte (1620-1684), whose _Traite du mouvement
- des eaux_, published after his death in the year 1686, is founded on a
- great variety of well-conducted experiments on the motion of fluids,
- performed at Versailles and Chantilly. In the discussion of some
- points he committed considerable mistakes. Others he treated very
- superficially, and in none of his experiments apparently did he attend
- to the diminution of efflux arising from the contraction of the liquid
- vein, when the orifice is merely a perforation in a thin plate; but he
- appears to have been the first who attempted to ascribe the
- discrepancy between theory and experiment to the retardation of the
- water's velocity through friction. His contemporary Domenico
- Guglielmini (1655-1710), who was inspector of the rivers and canals at
- Bologna, had ascribed this diminution of velocity in rivers to
- transverse motions arising from inequalities in their bottom. But as
- Mariotte observed similar obstructions even in glass pipes where no
- transverse currents could exist, the cause assigned by Guglielmini
- seemed destitute of foundation. The French philosopher, therefore,
- regarded these obstructions as the effects of friction. He supposed
- that the filaments of water which graze along the sides of the pipe
- lose a portion of their velocity; that the contiguous filaments,
- having on this account a greater velocity, rub upon the former, and
- suffer a diminution of their celerity; and that the other filaments
- are affected with similar retardations proportional to their distance
- from the axis of the pipe. In this way the medium velocity of the
- current may be diminished, and consequently the quantity of water
- discharged in a given time must, from the effects of friction, be
- considerably less than that which is computed from theory.
-
- The effects of friction and viscosity in diminishing the velocity of
- running water were noticed in the _Principia_ of Sir Isaac Newton, who
- threw much light upon several branches of hydromechanics. At a time
- when the Cartesian system of vortices universally prevailed, he found
- it necessary to investigate that hypothesis, and in the course of his
- investigations he showed that the velocity of any stratum of the
- vortex is an arithmetical mean between the velocities of the strata
- which enclose it; and from this it evidently follows that the velocity
- of a filament of water moving in a pipe is an arithmetical mean
- between the velocities of the filaments which surround it. Taking
- advantage of these results, Henri Pitot (1695-1771) afterwards showed
- that the retardations arising from friction are inversely as the
- diameters of the pipes in which the fluid moves. The attention of
- Newton was also directed to the discharge of water from orifices in
- the bottom of vessels. He supposed a cylindrical vessel full of water
- to be perforated in its bottom with a small hole by which the water
- escaped, and the vessel to be supplied with water in such a manner
- that it always remained full at the same height. He then supposed this
- cylindrical column of water to be divided into two parts,--the first,
- which he called the "cataract," being an hyperboloid generated by the
- revolution of an hyperbola of the fifth degree around the axis of the
- cylinder which should pass through the orifice, and the second the
- remainder of the water in the cylindrical vessel. He considered the
- horizontal strata of this hyperboloid as always in motion, while the
- remainder of the water was in a state of rest, and imagined that there
- was a kind of cataract in the middle of the fluid. When the results of
- this theory were compared with the quantity of water actually
- discharged, Newton concluded that the velocity with which the water
- issued from the orifice was equal to that which a falling body would
- receive by descending through half the height of water in the
- reservoir. This conclusion, however, is absolutely irreconcilable with
- the known fact that jets of water rise nearly to the same height as
- their reservoirs, and Newton seems to have been aware of this
- objection. Accordingly, in the second edition of his _Principia_,
- which appeared in 1713, he reconsidered his theory. He had discovered
- a contraction in the vein of fluid (_vena contracta_) which issued
- from the orifice, and found that, at the distance of about a diameter
- of the aperture, the section of the vein was contracted in the
- subduplicate ratio of two to one. He regarded, therefore, the section
- of the contracted vein as the true orifice from which the discharge of
- water ought to be deduced, and the velocity of the effluent water as
- due to the whole height of water in the reservoir; and by this means
- his theory became more conformable to the results of experience,
- though still open to serious objections. Newton was also the first to
- investigate the difficult subject of the motion of waves (q.v.).
-
- In 1738 Daniel Bernoulli (1700-1782) published his _Hydrodynamica seu
- de viribus et motibus fluidorum commentarii_. His theory of the motion
- of fluids, the germ of which was first published in his memoir
- entitled _Theoria nova de motu aquarum per canales quocunque
- fluentes_, communicated to the Academy of St Petersburg as early as
- 1726, was founded on two suppositions, which appeared to him
- conformable to experience. He supposed that the surface of the fluid,
- contained in a vessel which is emptying itself by an orifice, remains
- always horizontal; and, if the fluid mass is conceived to be divided
- into an infinite number of horizontal strata of the same bulk, that
- these strata remain contiguous to each other, and that all their
- points descend vertically, with velocities inversely proportional to
- their breadth, or to the horizontal sections of the reservoir. In
- order to determine the motion of each stratum, he employed the
- principle of the _conservatio virium vivarum_, and obtained very
- elegant solutions. But in the absence of a general demonstration of
- that principle, his results did not command the confidence which they
- would otherwise have deserved, and it became desirable to have a
- theory more certain, and depending solely on the fundamental laws of
- mechanics. Colin Maclaurin (1698-1746) and John Bernoulli (1667-1748),
- who were of this opinion, resolved the problem by more direct methods,
- the one in his _Fluxions_, published in 1742, and the other in his
- _Hydraulica nunc primum detecta, et demonstrata directe ex fundamentis
- pure mechanicis_, which forms the fourth volume of his works. The
- method employed by Maclaurin has been thought not sufficiently
- rigorous; and that of John Bernoulli is, in the opinion of Lagrange,
- defective in clearness and precision. The theory of Daniel Bernoulli
- was opposed also by Jean le Rond d'Alembert. When generalizing the
- theory of pendulums of Jacob Bernoulli (1654-1705) he discovered a
- principle of dynamics so simple and general that it reduced the laws
- of the motions of bodies to that of their equilibrium. He applied this
- principle to the motion of fluids, and gave a specimen of its
- application at the end of his _Dynamics_ in 1743. It was more fully
- developed in his _Traite des fluides_, published in 1744, in which he
- gave simple and elegant solutions of problems relating to the
- equilibrium and motion of fluids. He made use of the same suppositions
- as Daniel Bernoulli, though his calculus was established in a very
- different manner. He considered, at every instant, the actual motion
- of a stratum as composed of a motion which it had in the preceding
- instant and of a motion which it had lost; and the laws of equilibrium
- between the motions lost furnished him with equations representing the
- motion of the fluid. It remained a desideratum to express by equations
- the motion of a particle of the fluid in any assigned direction. These
- equations were found by d'Alembert from two principles--that a
- rectangular canal, taken in a mass of fluid in equilibrium, is itself
- in equilibrium, and that a portion of the fluid, in passing from one
- place to another, preserves the same volume when the fluid is
- incompressible, or dilates itself according to a given law when the
- fluid is elastic. His ingenious method, published in 1752, in his
- _Essai sur la resistance des fluides_, was brought to perfection in
- his _Opuscules mathematiques_, and was adopted by Leonhard Euler.
-
- The resolution of the questions concerning the motion of fluids was
- effected by means of Euler's partial differential coefficients. This
- calculus was first applied to the motion of water by d'Alembert, and
- enabled both him and Euler to represent the theory of fluids in
- formulae restricted by no particular hypothesis.
-
- One of the most successful labourers in the science of hydrodynamics
- at this period was Pierre Louis Georges Dubuat (1734-1809). Following
- in the steps of the Abbe Charles Bossut (_Nouvelles Experiences sur la
- resistance des fluides_, 1777), he published, in 1786, a revised
- edition of his _Principes d'hydraulique_, which contains a
- satisfactory theory of the motion of fluids, founded solely upon
- experiments. Dubuat considered that if water were a perfect fluid, and
- the channels in which it flowed infinitely smooth, its motion would be
- continually accelerated, like that of bodies descending in an inclined
- plane. But as the motion of rivers is not continually accelerated, and
- soon arrives at a state of uniformity, it is evident that the
- viscosity of the water, and the friction of the channel in which it
- descends, must equal the accelerating force. Dubuat, therefore,
- assumed it as a proposition of fundamental importance that, when water
- flows in any channel or bed, the accelerating force which obliges it
- to move is equal to the sum of all the resistances which it meets
- with, whether they arise from its own viscosity or from the friction
- of its bed. This principle was employed by him in the first edition of
- his work, which appeared in 1779. The theory contained in that edition
- was founded on the experiments of others, but he soon saw that a
- theory so new, and leading to results so different from the ordinary
- theory, should be founded on new experiments more direct than the
- former, and he was employed in the performance of these from 1780 to
- 1783. The experiments of Bossut were made only on pipes of a moderate
- declivity, but Dubuat used declivities of every kind, and made his
- experiments upon channels of various sizes.
-
- The theory of running water was greatly advanced by the researches of
- Gaspard Riche de Prony (1755-1839). From a collection of the best
- experiments by previous workers he selected eighty-two (fifty-one on
- the velocity of water in conduit pipes, and thirty-one on its velocity
- in open canals); and, discussing these on physical and mechanical
- principles, he succeeded in drawing up general formulae, which
- afforded a simple expression for the velocity of running water.
-
- J. A. Eytelwein (1764-1848) of Berlin, who published in 1801 a
- valuable compendium of hydraulics entitled _Handbuch der Mechanik und
- der Hydraulik_, investigated the subject of the discharge of water by
- compound pipes, the motions of jets and their impulses against plane
- and oblique surfaces; and he showed theoretically that a water-wheel
- will have its maximum effect when its circumference moves with half
- the velocity of the stream.
-
- J. N. P. Hachette (1769-1834) in 1816-1817 published memoirs
- containing the results of experiments on the spouting of fluids and
- the discharge of vessels. His object was to measure the contracted
- part of a fluid vein, to examine the phenomena attendant on additional
- tubes, and to investigate the form of the fluid vein and the results
- obtained when different forms of orifices are employed. Extensive
- experiments on the discharge of water from orifices (_Experiences
- hydrauliques_, Paris, 1832) were conducted under the direction of the
- French government by J. V. Poncelet (1788-1867) and J. A. Lesbros
- (1790-1860). P. P. Boileau (1811-1891) discussed their results and
- added experiments of his own (_Traite de la mesure des eaux
- courantes_, Paris, 1854). K. R. Bornemann re-examined all these
- results with great care, and gave formulae expressing the variation of
- the coefficients of discharge in different conditions (_Civil
- Ingenieur_, 1880). Julius Weisbach (1806-1871) also made many
- experimental investigations on the discharge of fluids. The
- experiments of J. B. Francis (_Lowell Hydraulic Experiments_, Boston,
- Mass., 1855) led him to propose variations in the accepted formulae
- for the discharge over weirs, and a generation later a very complete
- investigation of this subject was carried out by H. Bazin. An
- elaborate inquiry on the flow of water in pipes and channels was
- conducted by H. G. P. Darcy (1803-1858) and continued by H. Bazin, at
- the expense of the French government (_Recherches hydrauliques_,
- Paris, 1866). German engineers have also devoted special attention to
- the measurement of the flow in rivers; the _Beitrage zur Hydrographie
- des Konigreiches Bohmen_ (Prague, 1872-1875) of A. R. Harlacher
- (1842-1890) contained valuable measurements of this kind, together
- with a comparison of the experimental results with the formulae of
- flow that had been proposed up to the date of its publication, and
- important data were yielded by the gaugings of the Mississippi made
- for the United States government by A. A. Humphreys and H. L. Abbot,
- by Robert Gordon's gaugings of the Irrawaddy, and by Allen J. C.
- Cunningham's experiments on the Ganges canal. The friction of water,
- investigated for slow speeds by Coulomb, was measured for higher
- speeds by William Froude (1810-1879), whose work is of great value in
- the theory of ship resistance (_Brit. Assoc. Report._, 1869), and
- stream line motion was studied by Professor Osborne Reynolds and by
- Professor H. S. Hele Shaw. (X.)

-HYDROSTATICS
-
-Hydrostatics is a science which grew originally out of a number of
-isolated practical problems; but it satisfies the requirement of perfect
-accuracy in its application to phenomena, the largest and smallest, of
-the behaviour of a fluid. At the same time, it delights the pure
-theorist by the simplicity of the logic with which the fundamental
-theorems may be established, and by the elegance of its mathematical
-operations, insomuch that hydrostatics may be considered as the
-Euclidean pure geometry of mechanical science.
-
-1. _The Different States of a Substance or Matter._--All substance in
-nature falls into one of the two classes, solid and fluid; a solid
-substance, the land, for instance, as contrasted with a fluid, like
-water, being a substance which does not flow of itself.
-
-A _fluid_, as the name implies, is a substance which flows, or is
-capable of flowing; water and air are the two fluids distributed most
-universally over the surface of the earth.
-
-Fluids again are divided into two classes, termed a liquid and a gas, of
-which water and air are the chief examples.
-
-A _liquid_ is a fluid which is incompressible or practically so, i.e. it
-does not change in volume sensibly with change of pressure.
-
-A _gas_ is a compressible fluid, and the change in volume is
-considerable with moderate variation of pressure.
-
-Liquids, again, can be poured from one open vessel into another, and can
-be kept in an uncovered vessel, but a gas tends to diffuse itself
-indefinitely and must be preserved in a closed reservoir.
-
-The distinguishing characteristics of the three kinds of substance or
-states of matter, the solid, liquid and gas, are summarized thus in O.
-Lodge's _Mechanics_:--
-
- A solid has both size and shape.
- A liquid has size but not shape.
- A gas has neither size nor shape.
-
-2. _The Change of State of Matter._--By a change of temperature and
-pressure combined, a substance can in general be made to pass from one
-state into another; thus by gradually increasing the temperature a solid
-piece of ice can be melted into the liquid state of water, and the water
-again can be boiled off into the gaseous state as steam. Again, by
-raising the temperature, a metal in the solid state can be melted and
-liquefied, and poured into a mould to assume any form desired, which is
-retained when the metal cools and solidifies again; the gaseous state of
-a metal is revealed by the spectroscope. Conversely, a combination of
-increased pressure and lowering of temperature will, if carried far
-enough, reduce a gas to a liquid, and afterwards to the solid state; and
-nearly every gaseous substance has now undergone this operation.
-
-A certain critical temperature is observed in a gas, above which the
-liquefaction is impossible; so that the gaseous state has two
-subdivisions into (i.) a true gas, which cannot be liquefied, because
-its temperature is above the critical temperature, (ii.) a vapour, where
-the temperature is below the critical, and which can ultimately be
-liquefied by further lowering of temperature or increase of pressure.
-
-3. _Plasticity and Viscosity._--Every solid substance is found to be
-plastic more or less, as exemplified by punching, shearing and cutting;
-but the plastic solid is distinguished from the viscous fluid in that a
-plastic solid requires a certain magnitude of stress to be exceeded to
-make it flow, whereas the viscous liquid will yield to the slightest
-stress, but requires a certain length of time for the effect to be
-appreciable.
-
-According to Maxwell (_Theory of Heat_) "When a continuous alteration of
-form is produced only by a stress exceeding a certain value, the
-substance is called a solid, however soft and plastic it may be. But
-when the smallest stress, if only continued long enough, will cause a
-perceptible and increasing change of form, the substance must be
-regarded as a viscous fluid, however hard it may be." Maxwell
-illustrates the difference between a soft solid and a hard liquid by a
-jelly and a block of pitch; also by the experiment of supporting a
-candle and a stick of sealing-wax; after a considerable time the
-sealing-wax will be found bent and so is a fluid, but the candle remains
-straight as a solid.
-
-4. _Definition of a Fluid._--A fluid is a substance which yields
-continually to the slightest tangential stress in its interior; that is,
-it can be divided very easily along any plane (given plenty of time if
-the fluid is viscous). It follows that when the fluid has come to rest,
-the tangential stress in any plane in its interior must vanish, and the
-stress must be entirely normal to the plane. This mechanical axiom of
-the _normality of fluid pressure_ is the foundation of the mathematical
-theory of hydrostatics.
-
-The theorems of hydrostatics are thus true for all stationary fluids,
-however viscous they may be; it is only when we come to hydrodynamics,
-the science of the motion of a fluid, that viscosity will make itself
-felt and modify the theory; unless we begin by postulating the perfect
-fluid, devoid of viscosity, so that the principle of the _normality of
-fluid pressure_ is taken to hold when the fluid is in movement.
-
- 5. _The Measurement of Fluid Pressure._--The pressure at any point of
- a plane in the interior of a fluid is the intensity of the normal
- thrust estimated per unit area of the plane.
-
- Thus, if a thrust of P lb. is distributed uniformly over a plane area
- of A sq. ft., as on the horizontal bottom of the sea or any reservoir,
- the pressure at any point of the plane is P/A lb. per sq. ft., or
- P/144A lb. per sq. in. (lb./ft.^2 and lb./in.^2, in the Hospitalier
- notation, to be employed in the sequel). If the distribution of the
- thrust is not uniform, as, for instance, on a vertical or inclined
- face or wall of a reservoir, then P/A represents the average pressure
- over the area; and the actual pressure at any point is the average
- pressure over a small area enclosing the point. Thus, if a thrust
- [Delta]P lb. acts on a small plane area [Delta]A ft.^2 enclosing a
- point B, the pressure p at B is the limit of [Delta]P/[Delta]A; and
-
- p = lt([Delta]P/[Delta]A) = dP/dA, (1)
-
- in the notation of the differential calculus.
-
- 6. _The Equality of Fluid Pressure in all Directions._--This
- fundamental principle of hydrostatics follows at once from the
- principle of the normality of fluid pressure implied in the definition
- of a fluid in S 4. Take any two arbitrary directions in the plane of
- the paper, and draw a small isosceles triangle abc, whose sides are
- perpendicular to the two directions, and consider the equilibrium of a
- small triangular prism of fluid, of which the triangle is the cross
- section. Let P, Q denote the normal thrust across the sides bc, ca,
- and R the normal thrust across the base ab. Then, since these three
- forces maintain equilibrium, and R makes equal angles with P and Q,
- therefore P and Q must be equal. But the faces bc, ca, over which P
- and Q act, are also equal, so that the pressure on each face is equal.
- A scalene triangle abc might also be employed, or a tetrahedron.
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 1a.]
-
- It follows that the pressure of a fluid requires to be calculated in
- one direction only, chosen as the simplest direction for convenience.
-
- 7. _The Transmissibility of Fluid Pressure._--Any additional pressure
- applied to the fluid will be transmitted equally to every point in the
- case of a liquid; this principle of the _transmissibility of pressure_
- was enunciated by Pascal, 1653, and applied by him to the invention of
- the _hydraulic press_.
-
- This machine consists essentially of two communicating cylinders (fig.
- 1a), filled with liquid and closed by pistons. If a thrust P lb. is
- applied to one piston of area A ft.^2, it will be balanced by a thrust
- W lb. applied to the other piston of area B ft.^2, where
-
- p = P/A = W/B, (1)
-
- the pressure p of the liquid being supposed uniform; and, by making
- the ratio B/A sufficiently large, the mechanical advantage can be
- increased to any desired amount, and in the simplest manner possible,
- without the intervention of levers and machinery.
-
- Fig. 1b shows also a modern form of the hydraulic press, applied to
- the operation of covering an electric cable with a lead coating.
-
- 8. _Theorem._--In a fluid at rest under gravity the pressure is the
- same at any two points in the same horizontal plane; in other words, a
- surface of equal pressure is a horizontal plane.
-
- This is proved by taking any two points A and B at the same level, and
- considering the equilibrium of a thin prism of liquid AB, bounded by
- planes at A and B perpendicular to AB. As gravity and the fluid
- pressure on the sides of the prism act at right angles to AB, the
- equilibrium requires the equality of thrust on the ends A and B; and
- as the areas are equal, the pressure must be equal at A and B; and so
- the pressure is the same at all points in the same horizontal plane.
- If the fluid is a liquid, it can have a free surface without diffusing
- itself, as a gas would; and this free surface, being a surface of zero
- pressure, or more generally of uniform atmospheric pressure, will also
- be a surface of equal pressure, and therefore a horizontal plane.
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 1b.]
-
- Hence the _theorem_.--The free surface of a liquid at rest under
- gravity is a horizontal plane. This is the characteristic
- distinguishing between a solid and a liquid; as, for instance, between
- land and water. The land has hills and valleys, but the surface of
- water at rest is a horizontal plane; and if disturbed the surface
- moves in waves.
-
- 9. _Theorem._--In a homogeneous liquid at rest under gravity the
- pressure increases uniformly with the depth.
-
- This is proved by taking the two points A and B in the same vertical
- line, and considering the equilibrium of the prism by resolving
- vertically. In this case the thrust at the lower end B must exceed the
- thrust at A, the upper end, by the weight of the prism of liquid; so
- that, denoting the cross section of the prism by [alpha] ft.^2, the
- pressure at A and By by p0 and p lb./ft.^2, and by w the density of
- the liquid estimated in lb./ft.^3,
-
- p[alpha] - p0[alpha] = w[alpha].AB, (1)
-
- p = w.AB + p0. (2)
-
- Thus in water, where w = 62.4lb./ft.^3, the pressure increases 62.4
- lb./ft.^2, or 62.4 : 144 = 0.433 lb./in.^2 for every additional foot
- of depth.
-
- 10. _Theorem._--If two liquids of different density are resting in
- vessels in communication, the height of the free surface of such
- liquid above the surface of separation is inversely as the density.
-
- For if the liquid of density [sigma] rises to the height h and of
- density [rho] to the height k, and p0 denotes the atmospheric
- pressure, the pressure in the liquid at the level of the surface of
- separation will be [sigma]h + p0 and [rho]k + p0, and these being
- equal we have
-
- [sigma]h = [rho]k. (1)
-
- The principle is illustrated in the article BAROMETER, where a column
- of mercury of density [sigma] and height h, rising in the tube to the
- Torricellian vacuum, is balanced by a column of air of density [rho],
- which may be supposed to rise as a homogeneous fluid to a height k,
- called the height of the homogeneous atmosphere. Thus water being
- about 800 times denser than air and mercury 13.6 times denser than
- water,
-
- k/h = [sigma]/[rho] = 800 X 13.6 = 10,880; (2)
-
- and with an average barometer height of 30 in. this makes k 27,200
- ft., about 8300 metres.
-
- 11. _The Head of Water or a Liquid._--The pressure [sigma]h at a depth
- h ft. in liquid of density [sigma] is called the pressure due to a
- _head_ of h ft. of the liquid. The atmospheric pressure is thus due to
- an average head of 30 in. of mercury, or 30 X 13.6 : 12 = 34 ft. of
- water, or 27,200 ft. of air. The pressure of the air is a convenient
- unit to employ in practical work, where it is called an "atmosphere";
- it is made the equivalent of a pressure of one kg/cm^2; and one
- ton/inch^2, employed as the unit with high pressure as in artillery,
- may be taken as 150 atmospheres.
-
- 12. _Theorem._--A body immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force
- equal to the weight of the liquid displaced, acting vertically upward
- through the centre of gravity of the displaced liquid.
-
- For if the body is removed, and replaced by the fluid as at first,
- this fluid is in equilibrium under its own weight and the thrust of
- the surrounding fluid, which must be equal and opposite, and the
- surrounding fluid acts in the same manner when the body replaces the
- displaced fluid again; so that the resultant thrust of the fluid acts
- vertically upward through the centre of gravity of the fluid
- displaced, and is equal to the weight.
-
- When the body is floating freely like a ship, the equilibrium of this
- liquid thrust with the weight of the ship requires that the weight of
- water displaced is equal to the weight of the ship and the two centres
- of gravity are in the same vertical line. So also a balloon begins to
- rise when the weight of air displaced is greater than the weight of
- the balloon, and it is in equilibrium when the weights are equal. This
- theorem is called generally the _principle of Archimedes_.
-
- It is used to determine the density of a body experimentally; for if W
- is the weight of a body weighed in a balance in air (strictly _in
- vacuo_), and if W' is the weight required to balance when the body is
- suspended in water, then the upward thrust of the liquid or weight of
- liquid displaced is W - W', so that the _specific gravity_ (S.G.),
- defined as the ratio of the weight of a body to the weight of an equal
- volume of water, is W/(W - W').
-
- As stated first by Archimedes, the principle asserts the obvious fact
- that a body displaces its own volume of water; and he utilized it in
- the problem of the determination of the adulteration of the crown of
- Hiero. He weighed out a lump of gold and of silver of the same weight
- as the crown; and, immersing the three in succession in water, he
- found they spilt over measures of water in the ratio 1/14 : 4/77 :
- 2/21 or 33 : 24 : 44; thence it follows that the gold : silver alloy
- of the crown was as 11 : 9 by weight.
-
- 13. _Theorem._--The resultant vertical thrust on any portion of a
- curved surface exposed to the pressure of a fluid at rest under
- gravity is the weight of fluid cut out by vertical lines drawn round
- the boundary of the curved surface.
-
- _Theorem._--The resultant horizontal thrust in any direction is
- obtained by drawing parallel horizontal lines round the boundary, and
- intersecting a plane perpendicular to their direction in a plane
- curve; and then investigating the thrust on this plane area, which
- will be the same as on the curved surface.
-
- The proof of these theorems proceeds as before, employing the
- normality principle; they are required, for instance, in the
- determination of the liquid thrust on any portion of the bottom of a
- ship.
-
- In casting a thin hollow object like a bell, it will be seen that the
- resultant upward thrust on the mould may be many times greater than
- the weight of metal; many a curious experiment has been devised to
- illustrate this property and classed as a hydrostatic paradox (Boyle,
- _Hydrostatical Paradoxes_, 1666).
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 2.]
-
- Consider, for instance, the operation of casting a hemispherical bell,
- in fig. 2. As the molten metal is run in, the upward thrust on the
- outside mould, when the level has reached PP', is the weight of metal
- in the volume generated by the revolution of APQ; and this, by a
- theorem of Archimedes, has the same volume as the cone ORR', or 1/3
- [pi]y^3, where y is the depth of metal, the horizontal sections being
- equal so long as y is less than the radius of the outside hemisphere.
- Afterwards, when the metal has risen above B, to the level KK', the
- additional thrust is the weight of the cylinder of diameter KK' and
- height BH. The upward thrust is the same, however thin the metal may
- be in the interspace between the outer mould and the core inside; and
- this was formerly considered paradoxical.

- _Analytical Equations of Equilibrium of a Fluid at rest under any
- System of Force._
-
- 14. Referred to three fixed coordinate axes, a fluid, in which the
- pressure is p, the density [rho], and X, Y, Z the components of
- impressed force per unit mass, requires for the equilibrium of the
- part filling a fixed surface S, on resolving parallel to Ox,
- _ _ _ _ _

-
- thus leading to the differential relation at every point
-
- dp dp dp
- -- = [rho]X, -- = [rho]Y, -- = [rho]Z. (3)
- dx dy dz
-
- The three equations of equilibrium obtained by taking moments round
- the axes are then found to be satisfied identically.
-
- Hence the space variation of the pressure in any direction, or the
- _pressure-gradient_, is the resolved force per unit volume in that
- direction. The resultant force is therefore in the direction of the
- steepest pressure-gradient, and this is normal to the surface of equal
- pressure; for equilibrium to exist in a fluid the lines of force must
- therefore be capable of being cut orthogonally by a system of
- surfaces, which will be surfaces of equal pressure.
-
- Ignoring temperature effect, and taking the density as a function of
- the pressure, surfaces of equal pressure are also of equal density,
- and the fluid is stratified by surfaces orthogonal to the lines of
- force;
-
- 1 dp 1 dp 1 dp
- ----- --, ----- --, ----- --, or X, Y, Z (4)
- [rho] dx [rho] dy [rho] dz
-
- are the partial differential coefficients of some function P, =
- [int]dp/[rho], of x, y, z; so that X, Y, Z must be the partial
- differential coefficients of a potential -V, such that the force in
- any direction is the downward gradient of V; and then
-
- dP dV
- -- + -- = 0, or P + V = constant, (5)
- dx dx
-
- in which P may be called the hydrostatic head and V the head of
- potential.
-
- With variation of temperature, the surfaces of equal pressure and
- density need not coincide; but, taking the pressure, density and
- temperature as connected by some relation, such as the gas-equation,
- the surfaces of equal density and temperature must intersect in lines
- lying on a surface of equal pressure.
-
- 15. As an example of the general equations, take the simplest case of
- a uniform field of gravity, with Oz directed vertically downward;

-
- When the density [rho] is uniform, this becomes, as before in (2) S 9
-
- p = [rho]z + p0. (3)
-
- Suppose the density [rho] varies as some nth power of the depth below
- O, then
-
- dp/dz = [rho] = [mu]z^n (4)

- supposing p and [rho] to vanish together.
-
- These equations can be made to represent the state of convective
- equilibrium of the atmosphere, depending on the gas-equation
-
- p = [rho]k = R[rho][theta], (6)
-
- where [theta] denotes the absolute temperature; and then
-
- d[theta] d / p \ 1
- R-------- = -- ( ----- ) = -------, (7)

-
- which is positive, and the density [rho] diminishes with the ascent,
- provided the temperature-gradient d[theta]/dz does not exceed
- [theta]/k.
-
- With uniform temperature, taking k constant in the gas-equation,
-
- dp/dz = [rho] = p/k, p = p0e^(z/k), (9)
-
- so that in ascending in the atmosphere of thermal equilibrium the
- pressure and density diminish at compound discount, and for pressures
- p1 and p2 at heights z1 and z2
-
- (z1 - z2)/k = log e (p2/p1) = 2.3 log10 (p2/p1). (10)
-
- In the convective equilibrium of the atmosphere, the air is supposed
- to change in density and pressure without exchange of heat by
- conduction; and then

- ----- = (n + 1)------ -------- = - --- dr, (12)
- [rho] [rho]0 [theta]0 r^2
-
- gravity varying inversely as the square of the distance r from the

- atmosphere at the surface, [theta] is given by
-
- (n + 1) k (1 - [theta]/[theta]0) = a(1 - a/r), (13)
-
- or if c denotes the distance where [theta] = 0,
-
- [theta] a c - r
- -------- = --- . -----. (14)
- [theta]0 r c - a
-
- When the compressibility of water is taken into account in a deep
- ocean, an experimental law must be employed, such as
-
- p - p0 = k([rho] - [rho]0), or [rho]/[rho]0 = 1
- + (p - p0)/[lambda], [lambda] = k[rho]0, (15)
-
- so that [lambda] is the pressure due to a head k of the liquid at
- density [rho]0 under atmospheric pressure p0; and it is the gauge
- pressure required on this law to double the density. Then
-
- dp/dz = kd[rho]/dz = [rho], [rho] = [rho]0e^(z/k),
- p - p0 = k[rho]0(e^(z/k) - 1); (16)
-
- and if the liquid was incompressible, the depth at pressure p would be
- (p - p0)/p0, so that the lowering of the surface due to compression is
-
- ke^(z/k) - k - z = (1/2)z^2/k, when k is large. (17)
-
- For sea water, [lambda] is about 25,000 atmospheres, and k is then
- 25,000 times the height of the water barometer, about 250,000 metres,
- so that in an ocean 10 kilometres deep the level is lowered about 200
- metres by the compressibility of the water; and the density at the
- bottom is increased 4%.

-
- 16. _Centre of Pressure._--A plane area exposed to fluid pressure on
- one side experiences a single resultant thrust, the integrated
- pressure over the area, acting through a definite point called the
- centre of pressure (C.P.) of the area.
-
- Thus if the plane is normal to Oz, the resultant thrust
- _ _
- / /
- R = | |pdxdy, (1)

-
- and the coordinates [=x], [=y] of the C.P. are given by
- _ _ _ _
- / / / /
- [=x]R = | | xp dx dy, [=y]R = | | yp dx dy. (2)

-
- The C.P. is thus the C.G. of a plane lamina bounded by the area, in
- which the surface density is p.
-
- If p is uniform, the C.P. and C.G. of the area coincide.
-
- For a homogeneous liquid at rest under gravity, p is proportional to
- the depth below the surface, i.e. to the perpendicular distance from
- the line of intersection of the plane of the area with the free
- surface of the liquid.
-
- If the equation of this line, referred to new coordinate axes in the
- plane area, is written

-
- a and b denoting the semi-axes of the momental ellipse of the area.
-
- This shows that the C.P. is the antipole of the line of intersection
- of its plane with the free surface with respect to the momental
- ellipse at the C.G. of the area.
-
- Thus the C.P. of a rectangle or parallelogram with a side in the
- surface is at 2/3 of the depth of the lower side; of a triangle with a
- vertex in the surface and base horizontal is 3/4 of the depth of the
- base; but if the base is in the surface, the C.P. is at half the depth
- of the vertex; as on the faces of a tetrahedron, with one edge in the
- surface.
-
- The _core_ of an area is the name given to the limited area round its
- C.G. within which the C.P. must lie when the area is immersed
- completely; the boundary of the core is therefore the locus of the
- antipodes with respect to the momental ellipse of water lines which
- touch the boundary of the area. Thus the core of a circle or an
- ellipse is a concentric circle or ellipse of one quarter the size.
-
- The C.P. of water lines passing through a fixed point lies on a
- straight line, the antipolar of the point; and thus the core of a
- triangle is a similar triangle of one quarter the size, and the core
- of a parallelogram is another parallelogram, the diagonals of which
- are the middle third of the median lines.
-
- In the design of a structure such as a tall reservoir dam it is
- important that the line of thrust in the material should pass inside
- the core of a section, so that the material should not be in a state
- of tension anywhere and so liable to open and admit the water.

-17. _Equilibrium and Stability of a Ship or Floating Body. The
-Metacentre._--The principle of Archimedes in S 12 leads immediately to
-the conditions of equilibrium of a body supported freely in fluid, like
-a fish in water or a balloon in the air, or like a ship (fig. 3)
-floating partly immersed in water and the rest in air. The body is in
-equilibrium under two forces:--(i.) its weight W acting vertically
-downward through G, the C.G. of the body, and (ii.) the buoyancy of the
-fluid, equal to the weight of the displaced fluid, and acting vertically
-upward through B, the C.G. of the displaced fluid; for equilibrium these
-two forces must be equal and opposite in the same line.
-
-The conditions of equilibrium of a body, floating like a ship on the
-surface of a liquid, are therefore:--
-
-(i.) the weight of the body must be less than the weight of the total
-volume of liquid it can displace; or else the body will sink to the
-bottom of the liquid; the difference of the weights is called the
-"reserve of buoyancy."
-
-(ii.) the weight of liquid which the body displaces in the position of
-equilibrium is equal to the weight W of the body; and
-
-(iii.) the C.G., B, of the liquid displaced and G of the body, must lie
-in the same vertical line GB.
-
-18. In addition to satisfying these conditions of equilibrium, a ship
-must fulfil the further condition of stability, so as to keep upright;
-if displaced slightly from this position, the forces called into play
-must be such as to restore the ship to the upright again. The stability
-of a ship is investigated practically by inclining it; a weight is moved
-across the deck and the angle is observed of the heel produced.
-
- Suppose P tons is moved c ft. across the deck of a ship of W tons
- displacement; the C.G. will move from G to G1 the reduced distance
- G1G2 = c(P/W); and if B, called the centre of buoyancy, moves to B1,
- along the curve of buoyancy BB1, the normal of this curve at B1 will
- be the new vertical B1G1, meeting the old vertical in a point M, the
- centre of curvature of BB1, called the _metacentre_.
-
- If the ship heels through an angle [theta] or a slope of 1 in m,
-
- GM = GG1cot[theta] = mc(P/W), (1)
-
- and GM is called the metacentric height; and the ship must be
- ballasted, so that G lies below M. If G was above M, the tangent drawn
- from G to the evolute of B, and normal to the curve of buoyancy, would
- give the vertical in a new position of equilibrium. Thus in H.M.S.
- "Achilles" of 9000 tons displacement it was found that moving 20 tons
- across the deck, a distance of 42 ft., caused the bob of a pendulum 20
- ft. long to move through 10 in., so that
-
- 240 20
- GM = --- X 42 X ---- = 2.24 ft.; (2)
- 10 9000
-
- also
-
- cot [theta] = 24, [theta] = 2 deg. 24'. (3)
-
- In a diagram it is conducive to clearness to draw the ship in one
- position, and to incline the water-line; and the page can be turned if
- it is desired to bring the new water-line horizontal.
-
- Suppose the ship turns about an axis through F in the water-line area,
- perpendicular to the plane of the paper; denoting by y the distance of
- an element dA if the water-line area from the axis of rotation, the
- change of displacement is [sum]ydA tan[theta], so that there is no
- change of displacement if [sum]ydA = 0, that is, if the axis passes
- through the C.G. of the water-line area, which we denote by F and call
- the centre of flotation.
-
- The righting couple of the wedges of immersion and emersion will be
-
- [Sigma]wy dA tan [theta].y = w tan [theta] [Sigma] y^2 dA
- = w tan [theta].Ak^2 ft. tons, (4)
-
- w denoting the density of water in tons/ft.^3, and W = wV, for a
- displacement of V ft.^3
-
- This couple, combined with the original buoyancy W through B, is
- equivalent to the new buoyancy through B, so that
-
- W.BB1 = wAk^2 tan [theta], (5)
-
- BM = BB1 cot [theta] = Ak^2/V, (6)
-
- giving the radius of curvature BM of the curve of buoyancy B, in terms
- of the displacement V, and Ak^2 the moment of inertia of the
- water-line area about an axis through F, perpendicular to the plane of
- displacement.
-
- An inclining couple due to moving a weight about in a ship will heel
- the ship about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the couple, only
- when this axis is a principal axis at F of the momental ellipse of the
- water-line area A. For if the ship turns through a small angle [theta]
- about the line FF', then b1, b2, the C.G. of the wedge of immersion
- and emersion, will be the C.P. with respect to FF' of the two parts of
- the water-line area, so that b1b2 will be conjugate to FF' with
- respect to the momental ellipse at F.
-
- The naval architect distinguishes between the _stability of form_,
- represented by the righting couple W.BM, and the _stability of
- ballasting_, represented by W.BG. Ballasted with G at B, the righting
- couple when the ship is heeled through [theta] is given by W.BM.
- tan[theta]; but if weights inside the ship are raised to bring G above
- B, the righting couple is diminished by W.BG.tan[theta], so that the
- resultant righting couple is W.GM.tan[theta]. Provided the ship is
- designed to float upright at the smallest draft with no load on board,
- the stability at any other draft of water can be arranged by the
- stowage of the weight, high or low.
-
- 19. Proceeding as in S 16 for the determination of the C.P. of an
- area, the same argument will show that an inclining couple due to the
- movement of a weight P through a distance c will cause the ship to
- heel through an angle [theta] about an axis FF' through F, which is
- conjugate to the direction of the movement of P with respect to an
- ellipse, not the momental ellipse of the water-line area A, but a
- confocal to it, of squared semi-axes
-
- a^2 - hV/A, b^2 - hV/A, (1)
-
- h denoting the vertical height BG between C.G. and centre of buoyancy.
- The varying direction of the inclining couple Pc may be realized by
- swinging the weight P from a crane on the ship, in a circle of radius
- c. But if the weight P was lowered on the ship from a crane on shore,
- the vessel would sink bodily a distance P/wA if P was deposited over
- F; but deposited anywhere else, say over Q on the water-line area, the
- ship would turn about a line the antipolar of Q with respect to the
- confocal ellipse, parallel to FF', at a distance FK from F
-
- FK = (k^2 - hV/A)/FQ sin QFF' (2)
-
- through an angle [theta] or a slope of one in m, given by
-
- 1 P P V
- sin [theta] = --- = ----- = --- . --------- FQ sin QFF', (3)
- m wA.FK W Ak^2 - hV
-
- where k denotes the radius of gyration about FF' of the water-line
- area. Burning the coal on a voyage has the reverse effect on a
- steamer.

-HYDRODYNAMICS
-
-20. In considering the motion of a fluid we shall suppose it
-non-viscous, so that whatever the state of motion the stress across any
-section is normal, and the principle of the normality and thence of the
-equality of fluid pressure can be employed, as in hydrostatics. The
-practical problems of fluid motion, which are amenable to mathematical
-analysis when viscosity is taken into account, are excluded from
-treatment here, as constituting a separate branch called "hydraulics"
-(q.v.). Two methods are employed in hydrodynamics, called the Eulerian
-and Lagrangian, although both are due originally to Leonhard Euler. In
-the Eulerian method the attention is fixed on a particular point of
-space, and the change is observed there of pressure, density and
-velocity, which takes place during the motion; but in the Lagrangian
-method we follow up a particle of fluid and observe how it changes. The
-first may be called the statistical method, and the second the
-historical, according to J. C. Maxwell. The Lagrangian method being
-employed rarely, we shall confine ourselves to the Eulerian treatment.
-
-
-_The Eulerian Form of the Equations of Motion._
-
-21. The first equation to be established is the _equation of
-continuity_, which expresses the fact that the increase of matter within
-a fixed surface is due to the flow of fluid across the surface into its
-interior.
-
- In a straight uniform current of fluid of density [rho], flowing with
- velocity q, the flow in units of mass per second across a plane area
- A, placed in the current with the normal of the plane making an angle
- [theta] with the velocity, is [rho]Aq cos [theta], the product of the
- density [rho], the area A, and q cos [theta] the component velocity
- normal to the plane.
-
- Generally if S denotes any closed surface, fixed in the fluid, M the
- mass of the fluid inside it at any time t, and [theta] the angle which
- the outward-drawn normal makes with the velocity q at that point,
-
- dM/dt = rate of increase of fluid inside the surface, (1)
-
- = flux across the surface into the interior
- _ _
- / /
- = - | | [rho]q cos [theta] dS,
- _/_/
-
- the integral equation of continuity.
-
- In the Eulerian notation u, v, w denote the components of the velocity
- q parallel to the coordinate axes at any point (x, y, z) at the time
- t; u, v, w are functions of x, y, z, t, the independent variables; and
- d is used here to denote partial differentiation with respect to any
- one of these four independent variables, all capable of varying one at
- a time.
-
- To transfer the integral equation into the differential equation of
- continuity, Green's transformation is required again, namely,
- _ _ _ _ _
- / / / /d[xi] d[eta] d[zeta] \ / /
- | | | ( ----- + ------ + ------- )dx dy dz = | | (l[xi] + m[eta] + n[zeta]) dS, (2)
- _/_/_/ \ dx dy dz / _/_/
-
- or individually
- _ _ _ _ _
- / / / d[xi] / /
- | | | ----- dx dy dz = | | l[xi] dS,..., (3)
- _/_/_/ dx _/_/
-
- where the integrations extend throughout the volume and over the
- surface of a closed space S; l, m, n denoting the direction cosines of
- the outward-drawn normal at the surface element dS, and [xi], [eta],
- [zeta] any continuous functions of x, y, z.
-
- The integral equation of continuity (1) may now be written
- _ _ _ _ _
- / / / d[rho] / /
- | | | ----- dx dy dz = | | (l[rho]u + m[rho]v + n[rho]w) dS = 0, (4)
- _/_/_/ dt _/_/
-
- which becomes by Green's transformation
- _ _ _
- / / / /d[rho] d([rho]u) d([rho]v) d([rho]w)\
- | | | ( ------ + --------- + --------- + -------- ) dx dy dz = 0, (5)
- _/_/_/ \ dt dx dy dz /
-
- leading to the differential equation of continuity when the
- integration is removed.
-
-22. The equations of motion can be established in a similar way by
-considering the rate of increase of momentum in a fixed direction of the
-fluid inside the surface, and equating it to the momentum generated by
-the force acting throughout the space S, and by the pressure acting over
-the surface S.
-
- Taking the fixed direction parallel to the axis of x, the time-rate of
- increase of momentum, due to the fluid which crosses the surface, is
- _ _ _ _
- / / / /
- - | | [rho]uq cos [theta] dS = - | | (l[rho]u^2 + m[rho]uv + n[rho]uw) dS, (1)
- _/_/ _/_/
-
- which by Green's transformation is
- _ _ _
- / / / /d([rho]u^2) d([rho]uv) d([rho]uw) \
- - | | | ( ----------- + ---------- + ---------- ) dx dy dz. (2)
- _/_/_/ \ dx dy dz /
-
- The rate of generation of momentum in the interior of S by the
- component of force, X per unit mass, is
- _ _ _
- / / /
- | | | [rho]X dx dy dz, (3)
- _/_/_/
-
- and by the pressure at the surface S is
- _ _ _ _ _
- / / / / / dp
- - | | lp dS = - | | | -- dx dy dz, (4)
- _/_/ _/_/_/ dx
-
- by Green's transformation.
-
- The time rate of increase of momentum of the fluid inside S is
- _ _ _
- / / / d([rho]u)
- | | | --------- dx dy dz; (5)
- _/_/_/ dt
-
- and (5) is the sum of (1), (2), (3), (4), so that
- _ _ _
- / / / /d[rho]u d[rho]u^2 d[rho]uv d[rho]uw dp \
- | | | ( ------- + --------- + -------- + -------- - [rho]X + -- ) dx dy dz = 0, (6)
- _/_/_/ \ dt dx dy dz dx /
-
- leading to the differential equation of motion
-
- d[rho]u d[rho]u^2 d[rho]uv, d[rho]uw dp
- ------- + --------- + -------- + -------- = [rho]X - --, (7)
- dt dx dy dz dx
-
- with two similar equations.
-
- The absolute unit of force is employed here, and not the gravitation
- unit of hydrostatics; in a numerical application it is assumed that
- C.G.S. units are intended.
-
- These equations may be simplified slightly, using the equation of
- continuity (5) S 21; for
-
- d[rho]u d[rho]u^2 d[rho]uv d[rho]uw
- ------- + --------- + -------- + --------
- dt dx dy dz
-
- /du du du du \
- = [rho] ( -- + u-- + v-- + w-- )
- \dt dx dy dz /
-
- /d[rho] d[rho]u d[rho]v d[rho]w \
- + u ( ------ + ------- + ------- + ------- ), (8)
- \ dt dx dy dz /
-
- reducing to the first line, the second line vanishing in consequence
- of the equation of continuity; and so the equation of motion may be
- written in the more usual form
-
- du du du du 1 dp
- -- + u-- + v-- + w-- = X - ----- --, (9)
- dt dx dy dz [rho] dx
-
- with the two others
-
- dv dv dv dv 1 dp
- -- + u-- + v-- + w-- = Y - ----- --, (10)
- dt dx dy dz [rho] dy
-
- dw dw dw dw 1 dp
- -- + u-- + v-- + w-- = Z - ----- --. (11)
- dt dx dy dz [rho] dz
-
-
-
-23. As a rule these equations are established immediately by determining
-the component acceleration of the fluid particle which is passing
-through (x, y, z) at the instant t of time considered, and saying that
-the reversed acceleration or kinetic reaction, combined with the
-impressed force per unit of mass and pressure-gradient, will according
-to d'Alembert's principle form a system in equilibrium.
-
- To determine the component acceleration of a particle, suppose F to
- denote any function of x, y, z, t, and investigate the time rate of F
- for a moving particle; denoting the change by DF/dt,
-
- DF F(x + u[delta]t, y + v[delta]t, z + w[delta]t, t + [delta]t) - F(x, y, z, t)
- -- = lt.----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- dt [delta]t
-
- dF dF dF dF
- = -- + u-- + v-- + w--; (1)
- dt dx dy dz
-
- and D/dt is called particle differentiation, because it follows the
- rate of change of a particle as it leaves the point x, y, z; but
-
- dF/dt, dF/dx, dF/dy, dF/dz (2)
-
- represent the rate of change of F at the time t, at the point, x, y,
- z, fixed in space.
-
- The components of acceleration of a particle of fluid are consequently
-
- Du du du du du
- -- = -- + u-- + v-- + w--, (3)
- dt dt dx dy dz
-
- Dv dv dv dv dv
- -- = -- + u-- + v-- + w--, (4)
- dt dt dx dy dz
-
- Dw dw dw dw dw
- -- = -- + u-- + v-- + w--, (5)
- dt dt dx dy dz
-
- leading to the equations of motion above.
-
- If F (x, y, z, t) = 0 represents the equation of a surface containing
- always the same particles of fluid,
-
- DF dF dF dF dF
- -- = 0, or -- + u-- + v-- + w-- = 0, (6)
- dt dt dx dy dz
-
- which is called the differential equation of the _bounding surface_. A
- bounding surface is such that there is no flow of fluid across it, as
- expressed by equation (6). The surface always contains the same fluid
- inside it, and condition (6) is satisfied over the complete surface,
- as well as any part of it.
-
- But turbulence in the motion will vitiate the principle that a
- bounding surface will always consist of the same fluid particles, as
- we see on the surface of turbulent water.
-
- 24. To integrate the equations of motion, suppose the impressed force
- is due to a potential V, such that the force in any direction is the
- rate of diminution of V, or its downward gradient; and then
-
- X = -dV/dx, Y = -dV/dy, Z = -dV/dz; (1)
-
- and putting
-
- dw dv du dw dv du
- -- - -- = 2[xi], -- - -- = 2[eta], -- - -- = 2[zeta], (2)
- dy dz dz dx dx dy
-
- d[xi] d[eta] d[zeta]
- ----- + ------ + ------- = 0, (3)
- dx dy dz
-
- the equations of motion may be written
-
- du dH
- -- - 2v[zeta] + 2w[eta] + -- = 0, (4)
- dt dx
-
- dv dH
- -- - 2w[xi] + 2u[zeta] + -- = 0, (5)
- dt dy
-
- dw dH
- -- - 2u[eta] + 2w[xi] + -- = 0, (6)
- dt dz
-
- where
- _
- /
- H = | dp/[rho] + V + (1/2)q^2, (7)
- _/
-
- q^2 = u^2 + v^2 + w^2, (8)
-
- and the three terms in H may be called the pressure head, potential
- head, and head of velocity, when the gravitation unit is employed and
- (1/2)q^2 is replaced by (1/2)q^2/g.
-
- Eliminating H between (5) and (6)
-
- D[xi] du dv dw / du dv dw \
- ----- - [xi]-- - [eta]-- - [zeta]-- + [xi]( -- + -- + -- ) = 0, (9)
- dt dx dx dx \ dx dy dz /
-
- and combining this with the equation of continuity
-
- 1 D[rho] du dv dw
- ----- ------ + -- + -- + -- = 0, (10)
- [rho] dt dx dy dz
-
- we have
-
- D /[xi] \ [xi] du [eta] dv [zeta] dw
- -- ( ----- ) - ----- -- - ----- -- - ------ -- = 0, (11)
- dt \[rho]/ [rho] dx [rho] dx [rho] dx
-
- with two similar equations.
-
- Putting
-
- [omega]^2 = [xi]^2 + [eta]^2 + [zeta]^2, (12)
-
- a _vortex line_ is defined to be such that the tangent is in the
- direction of [omega], the resultant of [xi], [eta], [zeta], called the
- components of molecular rotation. A small sphere of the fluid, if
- frozen suddenly, would retain this angular velocity.
-
- If [omega] vanishes throughout the fluid at any instant, equation (11)
- shows that it will always be zero, and the fluid motion is then called
- _irrotational_; and a function [phi] exists, called the _velocity
- function_, such that
-
- udx + vdy + wdz = -d[phi], (13)
-
- and then the velocity in any direction is the space-decrease or
- downward gradient of [phi].
-
- 25. But in the most general case it is possible to have three
- functions [phi], [psi], m of x, y, z, such that
-
- udx + vdy + wdz = -d[phi] - md[psi], (1)
-
- as A. Clebsch has shown, from purely analytical considerations
- (_Crelle_, lvi.); and then
-
- d([psi], m) d([psi], m) d([psi], m)
- [xi] = (1/2) -----------, [eta] = (1/2) -----------, [zeta] = (1/2) -----------, (2)
- d(y, z) d(z, x) d(x, y)
-
- and
-
- d[psi] d[psi] d[psi] dm dm dm
- [xi]------ + [eta]------ + [zeta]------ = 0, [xi]-- + [eta]-- + [zeta]-- = 0, (3)
- dx dy dz dx dy dz
-
- so that, at any instant, the surfaces over which [psi] and m are
- constant intersect in the vortex lines.
-
- Putting
-
- d[phi] d[psi]
- H - ------ - m ------ = K, (4)
- dt dt
- the equations of motion (4), (5), (6) S 24 can be written
-
- dK d([psi],m)
- -- - 2u[zeta] + 2w[eta] - ---------- = 0, ..., ...; (5)
- dx d(x,t)
-
- and therefore
-
- dK dK dK
- [xi]-- + [eta]-- + [zeta]-- = 0. (6)
- dx dy dz
-
- Equation (5) becomes, by a rearrangement,
-
- dK d[psi] /dm dm dm dm \
- -- - ------ ( -- + u-- + v-- + w-- )
- dx dx \dt dx dy dz /
-
- dm / d[psi] d[psi] d[psi] d[psi] \

- dx \ dt dx dy dz /
-
- dK d[psi] Dm dm D[psi]
- -- - ------ -- + -- ------ = 0, ..., ..., (8)
- dx dx dt dx dt
-
- and as we prove subsequently (S 37) that the vortex lines are composed
- of the same fluid particles throughout the motion, the surface m and
- [psi] satisfies the condition of (6) S 23; so that K is uniform
- throughout the fluid at any instant, and changes with the time only,
- and so may be replaced by F(t).
-
- 26. When the motion is _steady_, that is, when the velocity at any
- point of space does not change with the time,
-
- dK
- -- - 2v[zeta] + 2w[eta] = 0, ..., ... (1)
- dx
-
- dK dK dK dK dK dK
- [xi]-- + [eta]-- + [zeta]-- = 0, u-- + v-- + w-- = 0, (2)
- dx dy dz dx dy dz
- and
- _
- /
- K = | dp/[rho] + V + (1/2)q^2 = H (3)
- _/
-
- is constant along a vortex line, and a _stream line_, the path of a
- fluid particle, so that the fluid is traversed by a series of H
- surfaces, each covered by a network of stream lines and vortex lines;
- and if the motion is irrotational H is a constant throughout the
- fluid.
-
- Taking the axis of x for an instant in the normal through a point on
- the surface H = constant, this makes u = 0, [xi] = 0; and in steady
- motion the equations reduce to
-
- dH/d[nu] = 2v[zeta] - 2w[eta] = 2q[omega] sin [theta], (4)
-
- where [theta] is the angle between the stream line and vortex line;
- and this holds for their projection on any plane to which d[nu] is
- drawn perpendicular.
-
- In plane motion (4) reduces to
-
- dH / dQ q \
- ----- = 2q[zeta] = q ( -- + --- ), (5)
- d[nu] \ dv r /
-
- if r denotes the radius of curvature of the stream line, so that
-
- 1 dp dV dH d(1/2)q^2 q^2
- ----- ----- + ----- = ----- - --------- = ---, (6)
- [rho] d[nu] d[nu] d[nu] d[nu] r
-
- the normal acceleration.
-
- The osculating plane of a stream line in steady motion contains the
- resultant acceleration, the direction ratios of which are
-
- du du du d(1/2)q^2 d(1/2)q^2 dH
- u-- + v-- + w-- = --------- - 2v[zeta] + 2w[eta] = --------- - --, ..., (7)
- dx dy dz dx dx dx
-
- and when q is stationary, the acceleration is normal to the surface H
- = constant, and the stream line is a geodesic.
-
- Calling the sum of the pressure and potential head the statical head,
- surfaces of constant statical and dynamical head intersect in lines on
- H, and the three surfaces touch where the velocity is stationary.
-
- Equation (3) is called Bernoulli's equation, and may be interpreted as
- the balance-sheet of the energy which enters and leaves a given tube
- of flow.
-
- If homogeneous liquid is drawn off from a vessel so large that the
- motion at the free surface at a distance may be neglected, then
- Bernoulli's equation may be written
-
- H = p/[rho] + z + q^2/2g = P/[rho] + h, (8)
-
- where P denotes the atmospheric pressure and h the height of the free
- surface, a fundamental equation in hydraulics; a return has been made
- here to the gravitation unit of hydrostatics, and Oz is taken
- vertically upward.
-
- In particular, for a jet issuing into the atmosphere, where p = P,
-
- q^2/2g = h - z, (9)
-
- or the velocity of the jet is due to the head k - z of the still free
- surface above the orifice; this is Torricelli's theorem (1643), the
- foundation of the science of hydrodynamics.
-
- 27. _Uniplanar Motion._--In the uniplanar motion of a homogeneous
- liquid the equation of continuity reduces to
-
- du dv
- -- + -- = 0, (1)
- dx dy
-
- so that we can put
-
- u = -d[psi]/dy, v = d[psi]/dx, (2)
-
- where [psi] is a function of x, y, called the stream- or
- current-function; interpreted physically, [psi] - [psi]0, the
- difference of the value of [psi] at a fixed point A and a variable
- point P is the flow, in ft.^3/second, across any curved line AP from A
- to P, this being the same for all lines in accordance with the
- continuity.
-
- Thus if d[psi] is the increase of [psi] due to a displacement from P
- to P', and k is the component of velocity normal to PP', the flow
- across PP' is d[psi] = k.PP'; and taking PP' parallel to Ox, d[psi] =
- vdx; and similarly d[psi]= -udy with PP' parallel to Oy; and generally
- d[psi]/ds is the velocity across ds, in a direction turned through a
- right angle forward, against the clock.
-
- In the equations of uniplanar motion
-
- dv du d^2[psi] d^2[psi]
- 2[zeta] = -- - -- = -------- + -------- = -[Nabla]^2[psi], suppose, (3)
- dx dy dx^2 dy^2
-
- so that in steady motion
-
- dH d[psi] dH d[psi] dH
- -- + [Nabla]^2[psi]------ = 0, -- + [Nabla]^2[psi]------ = 0, ------ + [Nabla]^2[psi] = 0, (4)
- dx dx dy dy d[psi]
-
- and [Nabla]^2[psi] must be a function of [psi].
-
- If the motion ia irrotational,
-
- d[phi] d[psi] d[phi] d[psi]
- u = - ------ = - ------, v = - ----- = ------, (5)
- dx dy dy dx'
-
- so that [psi] and [phi] are conjugate functions of x and y,
-
- [phi] + [psi]i = [f](x + yi), [Nabla]^2[psi] = 0, [Nabla]^2[phi] = 0; (6)
-
- or putting
-
- [phi] + [psi]i = w, x + yi = z, w = [f](z).
-
- The curves [phi] = constant and [psi] = constant form an orthogonal
- system; and the interchange of [phi] and [psi] will give a new state
- of uniplanar motion, in which the velocity at every point is turned
- through a right angle without alteration of magnitude.
-
- For instance, in a uniplanar flow, radially inward towards O, the flow
- across any circle of radius r being the same and denoted by 2[pi]m,
- the velocity must be m/r, and
-
- [phi] = m log r, [psi] = m[theta],
- [phi] + [psi]i = m log re^(i[theta]), w = m log z. (7)
-
- Interchanging these values
-
- [psi] = m log r, [phi] = m[theta],
- [psi] + [phi]i = m log re^(i[theta]) (8)
-
- gives a state of vortex motion, circulating round Oz, called a
- straight or columnar vortex.
-
- A single vortex will remain at rest, and cause a velocity at any point
- inversely as the distance from the axis and perpendicular to its
- direction; analogous to the magnetic field of a straight electric
- current.
-
- If other vortices are present, any one may be supposed to move with
- the velocity due to the others, the resultant stream-function being
-
- [psi] = [Sigma]m log r = log [Pi]r^m; (9)
-
- the path of a vortex is obtained by equating the value of [psi] at the
- vortex to a constant, omitting the r^m of the vortex itself.
-
- When the liquid is bounded by a cylindrical surface, the motion of a
- vortex inside may be determined as due to a series of vortex-images,
- so arranged as to make the flow zero across the boundary.
-
- For a plane boundary the image is the optical reflection of the
- vortex. For example, a pair of equal opposite vortices, moving on a
- line parallel to a plane boundary, will have a corresponding pair of
- images, forming a rectangle of vortices, and the path of a vortex will
- be the Cotes' spiral
-
- r sin 2[theta] = 2a, or x^(-2) + y^(-2) = a^(-2); (10)
-
- this is therefore the path of a single vortex in a right-angled
- corner; and generally, if the angle of the corner is [pi]/n, the path
- is the Cotes' spiral
-
- r sin n[theta] = na. (11)
-
- A single vortex in a circular cylinder of radius a at a distance c
- from the centre will move with the velocity due to an equal opposite
- image at a distance a^2/c, and so describe a circle with velocity
-
- mc/(a^2 - c^2) in the periodic time 2[pi](a^2 - c^2)/m. (12)
-
- Conjugate functions can be employed also for the motion of liquid in a
- thin sheet between two concentric spherical surfaces; the components
- of velocity along the meridian and parallel in colatitude [theta] and
- longitude [lambda] can be written
-
- d[phi] 1 d[psi] 1 d[psi] d[psi]
- -------- = ----------- ---------, ----------- --------- = - --------, (13)
- d[theta] sin [theta] d[lambda] sin [theta] d[lambda] d[theta]
-
- and then
-
- [phi] + [psi]i = F(tan (1/2)[theta].e^([lambda]i)). (14)
-
- 28. _Uniplanar Motion of a Liquid due to the Passage of a Cylinder
- through it._--A stream-function [psi] must be determined to satisfy
- the conditions
-
- [Nabla]^2[psi] = 0, throughout the liquid; (1)
-
- [psi] = constant, over any fixed boundary; (2)
-
- d[psi]/ds = normal velocity reversed over a solid boundary, (3)
-
- so that, if the solid is moving with velocity U in the direction Ox,
- d[psi]/ds = -Udy/ds, or [psi] + Uy = constant over the moving
- cylinder; and [psi] + Uy = [psi]' is the stream function of the
- relative motion of the liquid past the cylinder, and similarly [psi] -
- Vx for the component velocity V along Oy; and generally
-
- [psi]' = [psi] + Uy - Vx (4)
-
- is the relative stream-function, constant over a solid boundary moving
- with components U and V of velocity.
-
- If the liquid is stirred up by the rotation R of a cylindrical body,
-
- d[psi]/ds = normal velocity reversed
-
- dx dy
- = -Rx-- - Ry--, (5)
- ds ds
-
- [psi] + (1/2)R(x^2 + y^2) = [psi]', (6)
-
- a constant over the boundary; and [psi]' is the current-function of
- the relative motion past the cylinder, but now
-
- V^2[psi]' + 2R = 0, (7)
-
- throughout the liquid.
-
- Inside an equilateral triangle, for instance, of height h,
-
- [psi]' = -2R[alpha][beta][gamma]/h, (8)
-
- where [alpha], [beta], [gamma] are the perpendiculars on the sides of
- the triangle.
-
- In the general case [psi]' = [psi] + Uy - Vx + (1/2)R(x^2 + y^2) is
- the relative stream function for velocity components, U, V, R.
-
- 29. _Example 1._--Liquid motion past a circular cylinder.
-
- Consider the motion given by
-
- [omega] = U(z + a^2/z), (1)
-
- so that
-
- / a^2\ / a^2 \
- [phi] = U ( r + --- ) cos [theta] = U ( 1 + --- ) x, (2)
- \ r / \ r^2 /
-
- / a^2\ / a^2 \
- [psi] = U ( r - --- ) sin [theta] = U ( 1 - --- ) y.
- \ r / \ r^2 /
-
- Then [psi] = 0 over the cylinder r = a, which may be considered a
- fixed post; and a stream line past it along which [psi] = Uc, a
- constant, is the curve
-
- / a^2\
- ( r - --- ) sin [theta] = c, (x^2 + y^2)(y - c) - a^2y = 0 (3)
- \ r /
-
- a cubic curve (C3).
-
- Over a concentric cylinder, external or internal, of radius r = b,
-
- / a^2 \
- [psi]' = [psi] + U1y = [U ( 1 - --- ) + U1] y, (4)
- \ b^2 /
-
- and [psi]' is zero if
-
- U1/U = (a^2 - b^2)/b^2; (5)
-
- so that the cylinder may swim for an instant in the liquid without
- distortion, with this velocity U1, and [omega] in (1) will give the
- liquid motion in the interspace between the fixed cylinder r = a and
- the concentric cylinder r = b, moving with velocity U1.
-
- When b = 0, U1 = [oo]; and when b = [oo], U1 = -U, so that at infinity
- the liquid is streaming in the direction xO with velocity U.
-
- If the liquid is reduced to rest at infinity by the superposition of
- an opposite stream given by [omega] = -Uz, we are left with
-
- [omega] = Ua^2/z, (6)
-
- [phi] = U(a^2/r) cos [theta] = Ua^2x/(x^2 + y^2), (7)
-
- [psi] = -U(a^2/r) sin [theta] = -Ua^2y/(x^2 + y^2), (8)
-
- giving the motion due to the passage of the Cylinder r = a with
- velocity U through the origin O in the direction Ox.
-
- If the direction of motion makes an angle [theta]' with Ox,
-
- d[phi] / d[phi] 2xy
- tan[theta]' = ------ / ----- = --------- = tan 2[theta], [theta] = (1/2)[theta]', (9)
- dy / dx x^2 - y^2
-
- and the velocity is Ua^2/r^2.
-
- Along the path of a particle, defined by the C3 of (3),
-
- y^2 y(y - c)
- sin^2 1/2[theta]' = --------- = --------, (10)
- x^2 + y^2 a^2
-
- d[theta]' 2y - c dy
- 1/2 sin [theta]' --------- = ------ --, (11)
- ds a^2 ds
-
- on the radius of curvature is (1/4)a^2/(y - (1/2)c), which shows that
- the curve is an Elastica or Lintearia. (J. C. Maxwell, _Collected
- Works_, ii. 208.)
-
- If [phi]1 denotes the velocity function of the liquid filling the
- cylinder r = b, and moving bodily with it with velocity U1,
-
- [phi]1 = -U1x, (12)
-
- and over the separating surface r = b
-
- [phi] U / a^2\ a^2 + b^2
- --------- = - -- ( 1 + --- ) = ---------, (13)
- [phi]1 U1 \ b^2/ a^2 - b^2
-
- and this, by S 36, is also the ratio of the kinetic energy in the
- annular interspace between the two cylinders to the kinetic energy of
- the liquid moving bodily inside r = b.
-
- Consequently the inertia to overcome in moving the cylinder r = b,
- solid or liquid, is its own inertia, increased by the inertia of
- liquid (a^2 + b^2)/(a^2 - b^2) times the volume of the cylinder r = b;
- this total inertia is called the effective inertia of the cylinder r =
- b, at the instant the two cylinders are concentric.
-
- With liquid of density [rho], this gives rise to a kinetic reaction to
- acceleration dU/dt, given by
-
- a^2 + b^2 dU a^2 + b^2 dU
- [pi][rho]b^2 --------- -- = --------- M'--, (14)
- a^2 - b^2 dt a^2 - b^2 dt
-
- if M' denotes the mass of liquid displaced by unit length of the
- cylinder r = b. In particular, when a = [oo], the extra inertia is M'.
-
- When the cylinder r = a is moved with velocity U and r = b with
- velocity U1 along Ox,
-
- a^2 / b^2 \ b^2 / a^2\
- [phi] = U --------- ( --- + r ) cos [theta] - U1--------- ( r + --- ) cos [theta], (15)
- b^2 - a^2 \ r / b^2 - a^2 \ r /
-
- a^2 / b^2 \ b^2 / a^2\
- [psi] = -U --------- ( --- - r ) sin [theta] - U1--------- ( r - --- ) sin [theta]; (16)
- b^2 - a^2 \ r / b^2 - a^2 \ r /
-
- and similarly, with velocity components V and V1 along Oy
-
- a^2 / b^2 \ b^2 / a^2\
- [phi] = V --------- ( --- + r ) sin [theta] - V1--------- ( r + --- ) sin [theta], (17)
- b^2 - a^2 \ r / b^2 - a^2 \ r /
-
- a^2 / b^2 \ b^2 / a^2\
- [psi] = V --------- ( --- - r ) cos [theta] + V1--------- ( r - --- ) cos [theta], (18)
- b^2 - a^2 \ r / b^2 - a^2 \ r /
-
- and then for the resultant motion
- a^2 z a^2 b^2 U + Vi
- w = (U^2 + V^2) --------- ------ + --------- ------
- b^2 - a^2 U + Vi b^2 - a^2 z
-
- a^2 z a^2 b^2 U1 + V1i
- -(U1^2 + V1^2) --------- -------- + --------- --------. (19)
- b^2 - a^2 U1 + V1i b^2 - a^2 z
-
- The resultant impulse of the liquid on the cylinder is given by the
- component, over r = a (S 36),
- _
- / / b^2 + a^2 2b^2 \
- X = | [rho][phi] cos [theta].ad[theta] = [pi][rho]a^2 ( U --------- - U1 --------- ); (20)
- _/ \ b^2 - a^2 b^2 - a^2/
-
- and over r = b
- _
- / / 2a^2 b^2 + a^2 \
- X1 = | [rho][phi] cos [theta].bd[theta] = [pi][rho]b^2 ( U --------- - U1--------- ), (21)
- _/ \ b^2 - a^2 b^2 - a^2 /
-
- and the difference X - X1 is the component momentum of the liquid in
- the interspace; with similar expressions for Y and Y1.
-
- Then, if the outside cylinder is free to move
-
- V1 2a^2 b^2 - a^2
- X1 = 0, -- = ---------, X = [pi][rho]a^2U ---------. (22)
- U b^2 + a^2 b^2 + a^2
-
- But if the outside cylinder is moved with velocity U1, and the inside
- cylinder is solid or filled with liquid of density [sigma],
-
- U1 2[rho]b^2
- X = -[pi][rho]a^2 U, -- = -------------------------------------,
- U [rho](b^2 + a^2) + [sigma](b^2 - a^2)
-
- U - U1 ([rho] - [sigma])(b^2 - a^2)
- ------ = -------------------------------------, (23)
- U1 [rho](b^2 + a^2) + [sigma](b^2 - a^2)
-
- and the inside cylinder starts forward or backward with respect to the
- outside cylinder, according as [rho] > or < [sigma].
-
- 30. The expression for [omega] in (1) S 29 may be increased by the
- addition of the term
-
- im log z = -m[theta] + im log r, (1)
-
- representing vortex motion circulating round the annulus of liquid.
-
- Considered by itself, with the cylinders held fixed, the vortex sets
- up a circumferential velocity m/r on a radius r, so that the angular
- momentum of a circular filament of annular cross section dA is
- [rho]mdA, and of the whole vortex is [rho]m[pi](b^2 - a^2).
-
- Any circular filament can be started from rest by the application of a
- circumferential impulse [pi][rho]mdr at each end of a diameter; so
- that a mechanism attached to the cylinders, which can set up a uniform
- distributed impulse [pi][rho]m across the two parts of a diameter in
- the liquid, will generate the vortex motion, and react on the cylinder
- with an impulse couple -[rho]m[pi]a^2 and [rho]m[pi]b^2, having
- resultant [rho]m[pi](b^2 - a^2), and this couple is infinite when b =
- [oo], as the angular momentum of the vortex is infinite. Round the
- cylinder r = a held fixed in the U current the liquid streams past
- with velocity
-
- q' = 2U sin [theta] + m/a; (2)
-
- and the loss of head due to this increase of velocity from U to q' is
-
- q'^2 - U^2 (2U sin [theta] + m/a)^2 - U^2
- ---------- = ------------------------------, (3)
- 2g 2g
-
- so that cavitation will take place, unless the head at a great
- distance exceeds this loss.
-
- The resultant hydrostatic thrust across any diametral plane of the
- cylinder will be modified, but the only term in the loss of head which
- exerts a resultant thrust on the whole cylinder is 2mU sin[theta]/ga,
- and its thrust is 2[pi][rho]mU absolute units in the direction Cy, to
- be counteracted by a support at the centre C; the liquid is streaming
- past r = a with velocity U reversed, and the cylinder is surrounded by
- a vortex. Similarly, the streaming velocity V reversed will give rise
- to a thrust 2[pi][rho]mV in the direction xC.
-
- Now if the cylinder is released, and the components U and V are
- reversed so as to become the velocity of the cylinder with respect to
- space filled with liquid, and at rest at infinity, the cylinder will
- experience components of force per unit length
-
- (i.) - 2[pi][rho]mV, 2[pi][rho]mU, due to the vortex motion;
-
- (ii.) - [pi][rho]a^2 dU/dt, -[pi][rho]a^2 dV/dt, due to the kinetic
- reaction of the liquid;
-
- (iii.) 0, -[pi]([sigma] - [rho])a^2 g, due to gravity,
-
- taking Oy vertically upward, and denoting the density of the cylinder
- by [sigma]; so that the equations of motion are
-
- dU dU
- [pi][rho]a^2-- = - [pi][rho]a^2-- - 2[pi][rho]mV, (4)
- dt dt
-
- dV dV
- [pi][rho]a^2-- = - [pi][rho]a^2-- + 2[pi][rho]mV - [pi]([sigma] - [rho])a^2g, (5)
- dt dt
-
- or, putting m = a^2[omega], so that the vortex velocity is due to an
- angular velocity [omega] at a radius a,
-
- ([sigma] + [rho])dU/dt + 2[rho][omega]V = 0, (6)
-
- ([sigma] + [rho])dV/dt - 2[rho][omega]U + ([sigma] - [rho])g = 0. (7)
-
- Thus with g = 0, the cylinder will describe a circle with angular
- velocity 2[rho][omega]/([sigma] + [rho]), so that the radius is
- ([sigma] + [rho])v/2[rho][omega], if the velocity is v. With [sigma] =
- 0, the angular velocity of the cylinder is 2[omega]; in this way the
- velocity may be calculated of the propagation of ripples and waves on
- the surface of a vertical whirlpool in a sink.
-
- Restoring [sigma] will make the path of the cylinder a trochoid; and
- so the swerve can be explained of the ball in tennis, cricket,
- baseball, or golf.
-
- Another explanation may be given of the sidelong force, arising from
- the velocity of liquid past a cylinder, which is encircled by a
- vortex. Taking two planes x = [+-] b, and considering the increase of
- momentum in the liquid between them, due to the entry and exit of
- liquid momentum, the increase across dy in the direction Oy, due to
- elements at P and P' at opposite ends of the diameter PP', is
-
- [rho]dy (U - Ua^2 r^(-2) cos 2[theta] + mr^(-1) sin [theta])(Ua^2 r^(-2) sin 2[theta] + mr^(-1) cos [theta])
- + [rho]dy (- U + Ua^2 r^(-2) cos 2[theta] + mr^(-1) sin [theta])(Ua^2 r^(-2) sin 2[theta] - mr^(-1) cos [theta])
- = 2[rho]dymUr^(-1)(cos [theta] - a^2 r^(-2)cos 3[theta]), (8)
-
- and with y = b tan [theta], r = b sec [theta], this is
-
- 2[rho]mUd[theta] (1 - a^2 b^(-2) cos 3[theta] cos [theta]), (9)
-
- and integrating between the limits [theta] = [+-](1/2)[pi], the
- resultant, as before, is 2[pi][rho]mU.
-
- 31. _Example 2.--Confocal Elliptic Cylinders._--Employ the elliptic
- coordinates [eta], [xi], and [zeta] = [eta] + [xi]i, such that
-
- z = c ch[zeta], x = c ch [eta] cos [xi], y = c sh [eta] sin [zeta]; (1)
-
- then the curves for which [eta] and [xi] are constant are confocal
- ellipses and hyperbolas, and
-
- d(x, y)
- J = -------, [xi]) = c^2(ch^2[eta] - cos^2 [xi])
- d([eta]
-
- = (1/2)c^2(ch 2[eta] - cos 2[xi]) = r1r2 = OD^2, (2)
-
- if OD is the semi-diameter conjugate to OP, and r1, r2 the focal
- distances,
-
- r1, r2 = c(ch[eta] [+-] cos [xi]); (3)
-
- r^2 = x^2 + y^2 = c^2(ch^2[eta] - sin^2 [xi])
-
- = (1/2)c^2(ch 2[eta] + cos 2[xi]). (4)
-
- Consider the streaming motion given by
-
- w = m ch([zeta] - [gamma]), [gamma] = [alpha] + [beta]i, (5)
-
- [phi] = m ch([eta] - [alpha]) cos ([xi] - [beta]),
- [psi] = m sh([eta] - [alpha]) sin ([xi] - [beta]). (6)
-
- Then [psi] = 0 over the ellipse [eta] = [alpha], and the hyperbola
- [xi] = [beta], so that these may be taken as fixed boundaries; and
- [psi] is a constant on a C4.
-
- Over any ellipse [eta], moving with components U and V of velocity,
-
- [psi]' = [psi] + Uy - Vx = [m sh([eta] - [alpha]) cos [beta] + Uc sh[eta]] sin [xi]
-
- -[m sh ([eta] - [alpha]) sin [beta] + Vc ch [eta] cos [xi]; (7)
-
- so that [psi]' = 0, if
-
- m sh([eta] - [alpha]) m sh([eta] - [alpha])
- U = - --- ------------------- cos [beta], V = - --- - ------------------- sin [beta], (8)
- c sh[eta] c ch[eta]
-
- having a resultant in the direction PO, where P is the intersection of
- an ellipse [eta] with the hyperbola [beta]; and with this velocity the
- ellipse [eta] can be swimming in the liquid, without distortion for an
- instant.
-
- At infinity
-
- m m
- U = - --- e^(-a) cos [beta] = - ----- cos [beta],
- c a - b
-
- m m
- V = - --- e^(-a) sin [beta] = - ----- sin [beta], (9)
- c a + b
-
- a and b denoting the semi-axes of the ellipse [alpha]; so that the
- liquid is streaming at infinity with velocity Q = m/(a + b) in the
- direction of the asymptote of the hyperbola [beta].
-
- An ellipse interior to [eta] = [alpha] will move in a direction
- opposite to the exterior current; and when [eta] = 0, U = [oo], but V
- = (m/c) sh [alpha] sin [beta].
-
- Negative values of [eta] must be interpreted by a streaming motion on
- a parallel plane at a level slightly different, as on a double Riemann
- sheet, the stream passing from one sheet to the other across a cut SS'
- joining the foci S, S'. A diagram has been drawn by Col. R. L.
- Hippisley.
-
- The components of the liquid velocity q, in the direction of the
- normal of the ellipse [eta] and hyperbola [xi], are
-
- -mJ^(-1)sh([eta] - [alpha]) cos([xi] - [beta]),
- mJ^(-1)ch([eta] - [alpha]) sin ([xi] - [beta]). (10)
-
- The velocity q is zero in a corner where the hyperbola [beta] cuts the
- ellipse [alpha]; and round the ellipse [alpha] the velocity q reaches
- a maximum when the tangent has turned through a right angle, and then
-
- [root](ch 2[alpha] - cos 2[beta])
- q = Qe^a ---------------------------------; (11)
- sh 2[alpha]
-
- and the condition can be inferred when cavitation begins.
-
- With [beta] = 0, the stream is parallel to x0, and
-
- [phi] = m ch([eta] - [alpha])cos [xi]
-
- = -Uc ch([eta] - [alpha])sh [eta] cos [xi]/sh([eta] - [alpha]) (12)
-
- over the cylinder [eta], and as in (12) S 29,
-
- [phi]1 = -Ux = -Uc ch [eta] cos [xi], (13)
-
- for liquid filling the cylinder; and
-
- [phi] th [eta]
- ------ = --------------------, (14)
- [phi]1 th ([eta] - [alpha])
-
- over the surface of [eta]; so that parallel to Ox, the effective
- inertia of the cylinder [eta], displacing M' liquid, is increased by
- M'th [eta]/th([eta]- [alpha]), reducing when [alpha] = [oo] to M'th
- [eta] = M'(b/a).
-
- Similarly, parallel to Oy, the increase of effective inertia is M'/th
- [eta] th([eta] - [alpha]), reducing to M'/th [eta] = M'(a/b), when
- [alpha] = [oo], and the liquid extends to infinity.
-
- 32. Next consider the motion given by
-
- [phi] = m ch 2([eta] - [alpha]) sin 2[xi],
- [psi] = -m sh 2([eta] - [alpha]) cos 2[xi]; (1)
-
- in which [psi] = 0 over the ellipse [alpha], and
-
- [psi]' = [psi] + (1/2)R(x^2 + y^2)
- = [-m sh 2([eta] - [alpha]) + (1/4)Rc^2] cos 2[xi] + (1/4)Rc^2 ch 2[eta], (2)
-
- which is constant over the ellipse [eta] if
-
- (1/4)Rc^2 = m sh 2([eta] - [alpha]); (3)
-
- so that this ellipse can be rotating with this angular velocity R for
- an instant without distortion, the ellipse [alpha] being fixed.
-
- For the liquid filling the interior of a rotating elliptic cylinder of
- cross section
-
- x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1, (4)
-
- [psi]1' = m1(x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2) (5)
-
- with
-
- [nabla]^2[psi]1' = -2R = -2m1(1/a^2 + 1/b^2),
-
- [psi]1 = m1(x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2) - (1/2)R(x^2 + y^2)
- = -(1/2)R(x^2 - y^2)(a^2 - b^2)/(a^2 + b^2), (6)
-
- [phi]1 = Rxy(a^2 - b^2)/(a^2 + b^2),
-
- w1 = [phi]1 +[psi]1i = -(1/2)iR(x + yi)^2(a^2 - b^2)/(a^2 + b^2).
-
- The velocity of a liquid particle is thus (a^2 - b^2)/(a^2 + b^2) of
- what it would be if the liquid was frozen and rotating bodily with the
- ellipse; and so the effective angular inertia of the liquid is (a^2 -
- b^2)^2/(a^2 + b^2)^2 of the solid; and the effective radius of
- gyration, solid and liquid, is given by
-
- k^2 = (1/4)(a^2 + b^2), and (1/4)(a^2 - b^2)^2/(a^2 + b^2). (7)
-
- For the liquid in the interspace between [alpha] and [eta],
-
- [phi] m ch 2([eta] - [alpha]) sin 2[xi]
- ------ = ----------------------------------------------------
- [phi]1 (1/4)Rc^2 sh 2[eta] sin 2[xi](a^2 - b^2)/(a^2 + b^2)
-
- = 1/th 2([eta] - [alpha])th 2[eta]; (8)
-
- and the effective k^2 of the liquid is reduced to
-
- (1/4)c^2/th 2([eta] - [alpha]) sh 2[eta], (9)
-
- which becomes (1/4)c^2/sh 2[eta] = 1/8 (a^2 - b^2)/ab, when [alpha] =
- [oo], and the liquid surrounds the ellipse [eta] to infinity.
-
- An angular velocity R, which gives components -Ry, Rx of velocity to a
- body, can be resolved into two shearing velocities, -R parallel to Ox,
- and R parallel to Oy; and then [psi] is resolved into [psi]1 + [psi]2,
- such that [psi]1 + (1/2)Rx^2 and [psi]2 + (1/2)Ry^2 is constant over
- the boundary.
-
- Inside a cylinder
-
- [phi]1 + [psi]1i = -(1/2)iR(x + yi)^2 a^2/(a^2 + b^2), (10)
-
- [phi]2 + [psi]2i = (1/2)iR(x + yi)^2 b^2/(a^2 + b^2), (11)
-
- and for the interspace, the ellipse [alpha] being fixed, and [alpha]1
- revolving with angular velocity R
-
- [phi]1 + [psi]1i = -1/8 iRc^2 sh 2([eta] - [alpha]
- + [xi]i)(ch 2[alpha] + 1)/sh 2([alpha]1 - [alpha]), (12)
-
- [phi]2 + [psi]2i = 1/8 iRc^2 sh 2([eta] - [alpha]
- + [xi]i)(ch 2[alpha] - 1)/sh 2([alpha]1 - [alpha]), (13)
-
- satisfying the condition that [psi]1 and [psi]2 are zero over [eta] =
- [alpha], and over [eta] = [alpha]1
-
- [psi]1 + (1/2)Rx^2 = 1/8 Rc^2(ch 2[alpha]1 + 1), (14)
-
- [psi]2 + (1/2)Ry^2 = 1/8 Rc^2(ch 2[alpha]1 - 1), (15)
-
- constant values.
-
- In a similar way the more general state of motion may be analysed,
- given by
-
- w = m ch 2([zeta] - [gamma]), [gamma] = [alpha] + [beta]i, (16)
-
- as giving a homogeneous strain velocity to the confocal system; to
- which may be added a circulation, represented by an additional term
- m[zeta] in w.
-
- Similarly, with
-
- x + yi = c[root][sin ([xi] + [eta]i)] (17)
-
- the function
-
- [psi] = Qc sh (1/2)([eta] - [alpha]) sin (1/2)([xi] - [beta]) (18)
-
- will give motion streaming past the fixed cylinder [eta] = [alpha],
- and dividing along [xi] = [beta]; and then
-
- x^2 - y^2 = c^2 sin [xi] ch [eta], 2xy = c^2 cos [xi] sh [eta]. (19)
-
- In particular, with sh [alpha] = 1, the cross-section of [eta] =
- [alpha] is
-
- x^4 + 6x^2 y^2 + y^4 = 2c^4, or x^4 + y^4 = c^4 (20)
-
- when the axes are turned through 45 deg.
-
- 33. _Example 3._--Analysing in this way the rotation of a rectangle
- filled with liquid into the two components of shear, the stream
- function [psi]1 is to be made to satisfy the conditions
-
- (i.) [nabla]^2 [psi]1 = 0,
-
- (ii.) [psi]1 + (1/2)Rx^2 = (1/2)Ra^2, or [psi]1 = 0 when x = [+-]a,
-
- (iii.) [psi]1 + (1/2)Rx^2 = (1/2)Ra^2, [psi]1 = (1/2)R(a^2 - x^2), when y = [+-] b.

- _Example 4._--Parabolic cylinder, axial advance, and liquid streaming
- past.
-
- The polar equation of the cross-section being
-
- r^(1/2) cos (1/2)[theta] = a^(1/2), or r + x = 2a, (3)
-
- the conditions are satisfied by
-
- [psi]' = Ur sin [theta] - 2Ua^(1/2) r^(1/2) sin (1/2)[theta]
- = 2Ur^(1/2) sin (1/2)[theta](r^(1/2) cos (1/2)[theta] - a^(1/2)), (4)

- w = -2Ua^(1/2) z^(1/2), (6)

- 34. _Motion symmetrical about an Axis._--When the motion of a liquid
- is the same for any plane passing through Ox, and lies in the plane, a
- function [psi] can be found analogous to that employed in plane
- motion, such that the flux across the surface generated by the
- revolution of any curve AP from A to P is the same, and represented by
- 2[pi]([psi] - [psi]0); and, as before, if d[psi] is the increase in
- [psi] due to a displacement of P to P', then k the component of
- velocity normal to the surface swept out by PP' is such that
- 2[pi]d[psi] = 2[pi]yk.PP'; and taking PP' parallel to Oy and Ox,
-
- u = -d[psi]/ydy, v = d[psi]/ydx, (1)
-
- and [psi] is called after the inventor, "Stokes's stream or current
- function," as it is constant along a stream line (_Trans. Camb. Phil.
- Soc._, 1842; "Stokes's Current Function," R. A. Sampson, _Phil.
- Trans._, 1892); and d[psi]/yds is the component velocity across ds in
- a direction turned through a right angle forward.
-
- In this symmetrical motion
-
- d / 1 d[psi] \ d / 1 d[psi]\
- [xi] = 0, [eta] = 0, 2[zeta] = -- ( --- ------ ) + -- ( --- ------ )
- dx \ y dx / dy \ y dy /

- 1 /d^2[psi] d^2[psi] 1 d[psi]\ 1
- = --- ( -------- + -------- - --- ------ ) = - ---[nabla]^2 [psi], (2)
- y \ dx^2 dy^2 y dy / y
-
- suppose; and in steady motion,
-
- dH 1 d[psi] dH 1 d[psi]
- -- + --- ----- [nabla]^2 [psi] = 0, -- + --- ------ [nabla]^2 [psi] = 0, (3)
- dx y^2 dx dy y^2 dy
-
- so that
-
- 2[zeta]/y = -y^(-2)[nabla]^2 [psi] = dH/d[psi] (4)
-
- is a function of [psi], say [f]'([psi]), and constant along a stream line;
-
- dH/dv = 2q[zeta], H - [f]([psi]) = constant, (5)
-
- throughout the liquid.
-
- When the motion is irrotational,
-
- d[phi] 1 d[psi] d[phi] 1 d[psi]
- [zeta] = 0, u = - ------ = - --- ------, v = - ------ = --- ------, (6)
- dx y dy dy y dx
-
- d^2 [psi] d^2 [psi] 1 d[psi]
- [nabla]^2[psi] = 0, or --------- + --------- - --- ------ = 0. (7)
- dx^2 dy^2 y dy
-
- Changing to polar coordinates, x = r cos[theta], y = r sin[theta], the
- equation (2) becomes, with cos[theta] = [mu],
-
- d^2 [psi] d^2 [psi]
- r^2--------- + (1 - [mu]^2) --------- = 2[zeta]r^3 sin [theta], (8)
- dr^2 d[mu]^2
-
- of which a solution, when [zeta] = 0, is
-
- / B \ dPn / B \ dPn
- [psi] = ( Ar^(n+1) + --- ) (1 - [mu]^2) ----- = ( Ar^(n-1) + ------- ) y^2-----, (9)
- \ r^n / d[mu] \ r^(n+2) / d[mu]
-
- [phi] = {(n + 1)Ar^n - nBr^(-n-1)} Pn, (10)
-
- where Pn denotes the zonal harmonic of the nth order; also, in the
- exceptional case of
-
- [psi] = A0 cos[theta], [phi] = A0/r;
-
- [psi] = B0r, [phi] = -B0 log tan (1/2)[theta]
- = -(1/2)B0 sh(-1) x/y. (11)
-
- Thus cos[theta] is the Stokes' function of a point source at O, and PA
- - PB of a line source AB.
-
- The stream function [psi] of the liquid motion set up by the passage
- of a solid of revolution, moving with axial velocity U, is such that
-
- 1 d[psi] dy
- --- ------ = -U --, [psi] + (1/2)Uy^2 = constant, (12)
- y ds ds
-
- over the surface of the solid; and [psi] must be replaced by [psi]' =
- [psi] + (1/2)Uy^2 in the general equations of steady motion above to
- obtain the steady relative motion of the liquid past the solid.
-
- For instance, with n = 1 in equation (9), the relative stream function
- is obtained for a sphere of radius a, by making it
-
- [psi]' = [psi] + (1/2)Uy^2 = (1/2)U(r^2 - a^3/r) sin^2 [theta],
- [psi] = -(1/2)Ua^3 sin^2 [theta]/r; (13)
-
- and then
-
- [phi]' = Ux(1 + (1/2)a^3/r^2), [phi] = (1/2)Ua^3 cos [theta]/r^2, (14)
-
- d[phi] a^3 d[phi] a^3
- - ------ = U --- cos [theta], - --------- = (1/2)U --- sin [theta], (15)
- dr r^3 rd[theta] r^3
-
- so that, if the direction of motion makes an angle [psi] with Ox,
-
- tan ([psi] - [theta]) = (1/2) tan [theta],
- tan [psi] = 3 tan [theta]/(2 - tan^2 [theta]), (16)
-
- Along the path of a liquid particle [psi]' is constant, and putting it
- equal to (1/2)Uc^2,
-
- (r^2 - a^3/r) sin^2 [theta] = c^2, sin^2 [theta] = c^2r/(r^3 - a^3), (17)
-
- the polar equation; or
-
- y^2 = c^2 r^3/(r^3 - a^3), r^3 = a^3 y^2/(y^2 - c^2), (18)
-
- a curve of the 10th degree (C10).
-
- In the absolute path in space
-
- cos [psi] = (2 - 3 sin^2 [theta])/[root](4 - sin^2 [theta]),
- and sin^3 [theta] = (y^3 - c^2 y)/a^3, (19)
-
- which leads to no simple relation.
-
- The velocity past the surface of the sphere is
-
- 1 d[psi]' / a^3 \ sin^2 [theta]
- ------------ ------- = (1/2)U ( 2r + --- ) ------------- = 3/2 U sin [theta], when r = a; (20)
- r sin[theta] dr \ r^2 / r sin [theta]
-
- so that the loss of head is
-
- (9/4 sin^2 [theta] - 1) U^2/2g, having a maximum 5/4 U^2/2g, (21)
-
- which must be less than the head at infinite distance to avoid
- cavitation at the surface of the sphere.
-
- With n = 2, a state of motion is given by
-
- [psi] = -(1/2)Uy^2 a^4[mu]/r^4, [psi]' = (1/2)Uy^2(1 - a^4[mu]/r^4), (22)
-
- [phi]' = Ux + [phi], [phi] = -1/3 U(a^4/r^3)P2, P2 = 3/2 [mu]^2 - (1/2), (23)
-
- representing a stream past the surface r^4 = a^4[mu].
-
-35. A circular vortex, such as a smoke ring, will set up motion
-symmetrical about an axis, and provide an illustration; a half vortex
-ring can be generated in water by drawing a semicircular blade a short
-distance forward, the tip of a spoon for instance. The vortex advances
-with a certain velocity; and if an equal circular vortex is generated
-coaxially with the first, the mutual influence can be observed. The
-first vortex dilates and moves slower, while the second contracts and
-shoots through the first; after which the motion is reversed
-periodically, as if in a game of leap-frog. Projected perpendicularly
-against a plane boundary, the motion is determined by an equal opposite
-vortex ring, the optical image; the vortex ring spreads out and moves
-more slowly as it approaches the wall; at the same time the molecular
-rotation, inversely as the cross-section of the vortex, is seen to
-increase. The analytical treatment of such vortex rings is the same as
-for the electro-magnetic effect of a current circulating in each ring.
-
- 36. _Irrotational Motion in General._--Liquid originally at rest in a
- singly-connected space cannot be set in motion by a field of force due
- to a single-valued potential function; any motion set up in the liquid
- must be due to a movement of the boundary, and the motion will be
- irrotational; for any small spherical element of the liquid may be
- considered a smooth solid sphere for a moment, and the normal pressure
- of the surrounding liquid cannot impart to it any rotation.
-
- The kinetic energy of the liquid inside a surface S due to the
- velocity function [phi] is given by
- _ _ _ _ _
- / / / | /d[phi]\^2 /d[phi]\^2 /d[phi]\^2 |
- T = (1/2)[rho] | | | | ( ------ ) + ( ------ ) + ( ------ ) | dx dy dz,
- _/_/_/ |_ \ dx / \ dy / \ dz / _|
- _ _
- / / d[phi]
- = (1/2)[rho] | | [phi] ------ dS (1)
- _/_/ d[nu]
-
- by Green's transformation, d[nu] denoting an elementary step along the
- normal to the exterior of the surface; so that d[phi]/d[nu] = 0 over
- the surface makes T = 0, and then
-
- /d[phi]\^2 /d[phi]\^2 /d[phi]\^2 d[phi] d[phi] d[phi]
- ( ------ ) + ( ------ ) + ( ------ ) = 0, ------ = 0, ------ = 0, ------ = 0 (2)
- \ dx / \ dy / \ dz / dx dy dz
-
- If the actual motion at any instant is supposed to be generated
- instantaneously from rest by the application of pressure impulse over
- the surface, or suddenly reduced to rest again, then, since no natural
- forces can act impulsively throughout the liquid, the pressure impulse
- [~[omega]] satisfies the equations
-
- 1 d[~omega] 1 d[~omega] 1 d[~omega]
- ----- --------- = -u, ----- --------- = -v, ----- --------- = -[~omega], (3)
- [rho] dx [rho] dy [rho] dz
-
- [~omega] = [rho][phi] + a constant, (4)
-
- and the constant may be ignored; and Green's transformation of the
- energy T amounts to the theorem that the work done by an impulse is
- the product of the impulse and average velocity, or half the velocity
- from rest.
-
- In a multiply connected space, like a ring, with a multiply valued
- velocity function [phi], the liquid can circulate in the circuits
- independently of any motion of the surface; thus, for example,
-
- [phi] = m[theta] = m tan^(-1) y/x (5)
-
- will give motion to the liquid, circulating in any ring-shaped figure
- of revolution round Oz.
-
- To find the kinetic energy of such motion in a multiply connected
- space, the channels must be supposed barred, and the space made
- acyclic by a membrane, moving with the velocity of the liquid; and
- then if k denotes the cyclic constant of [phi] in any circuit, or the
- value by which [phi] has increased in completing the circuit, the
- values of [phi] on the two sides of the membrane are taken as
- differing by k, so that the integral over the membrane
- _ _ _ _
- / / d[phi] / / d[phi]
- | | [phi] ------ dS = k | | ------ dS, (6)
- _/_/ d[nu] _/_/ d[nu]
-
- and this term is to be added to the terms in (1) to obtain the
- additional part in the kinetic energy; the continuity shows that the
- integral is independent of the shape of the barrier membrane, and its
- position. Thus, in (5), the cyclic constant k = 2[pi]m.
-
- In plane motion the kinetic energy per unit length parallel to Oz

-
- For example, in the equilateral triangle of (8) S 28, referred to
- coordinate axes made by the base and height,
-
- [psi]' = -2R[alpha][beta][gamma]/h = -(1/2)Ry[(h - y)^2 - 3x^2]/h (8)
-
- [psi] = [psi]' - (1/2)R [(1/3h - y)^2 + x^2]
-
- = -(1/2)R [(1/2)h^3 + 1/3 h^2 y + h) (x^2 - y^2) - 3x^2 y + y^3] /h (9)
-
- and over the base y = 0,
-
- dx/d[nu] = -dx/dy = + (1/2)R(1/3 h^2 - 3x^2)/h, [psi] = -(1/2)R(1/9 h^2 + x^2). (10)

-
- k^2 = T/(1/2)[rho]R^2 A = 2h^2/45
-
- = 2/5 (radius of the inscribed circle)^2, (12)
-
- or two-fifths of the k^2 for the solid triangle.

- 37. _Flow, Circulation, and Vortex Motion._--The line integral of the
- tangential velocity along a curve from one point to another, defined
- by
- _ _
- / / dx dy dz \ /
- | ( u-- + v-- + w-- ) ds = | (u dx + v dy + z dz), (1)
- _/ \ ds ds ds / _/
-
- is called the "flux" along the curve from the first to the second
- point; and if the curve closes in on itself the line integral round
- the curve is called the "circulation" in the curve.
-
- With a velocity function [phi], the flow
- _
- /
- - | d[phi] = [phi]1 - [phi]2, (2)
- _/
-
- so that the flow is independent of the curve for all curves mutually
- reconcilable; and the circulation round a closed curve is zero, if the
- curve can be reduced to a point without leaving a region for which
- [phi] is single valued.
-
- If through every point of a small closed curve the vortex lines are
- drawn, a tube is obtained, and the fluid contained is called a _vortex
- filament_.
-
- By analogy with the spin of a rigid body, the component spin of the
- fluid in any plane at a point is defined as the circulation round a
- small area in the plane enclosing the point, divided by twice the
- area. For in a rigid body, rotating about Oz with angular velocity
- [zeta], the circulation round a curve in the plane xy is
- _
- / / dy dx \
- | [zeta] ( x -- - y -- ) ds = [zeta] times twice the area. (3)
- _/ \ ds ds /
-
- In a fluid, the circulation round an elementary area dxdy is equal to
-
- / dv \ / du \ / dv du \
- udx + ( v + --dx )dy - ( u + --dy )dx - vdy = ( -- - -- )dx dy, (4)
- \ dx / \ dy / \ dx dy /
-
- so that the component spin is
-
- / dv du \
- (1/2) ( -- - -- ) = [zeta], (5)
- \ dx dy /
-
- in the previous notation of S 24; so also for the other two components
- [xi] and [eta].
-
- Since the circulation round any triangular area of given aspect is the
- sum of the circulation round the projections of the area on the
- coordinate planes, the composition of the components of spin, [xi],
- [eta], [zeta], is according to the vector law. Hence in any
- infinitesimal part of the fluid the circulation is zero round every
- small plane curve passing through the vortex line; and consequently
- the circulation round any curve drawn on the surface of a vortex
- filament is zero.
-
- If at any two points of a vortex line the cross-section ABC, A'B'C' is
- drawn of the vortex filament, joined by the vortex line AA', then,
- since the flow in AA' is taken in opposite directions in the complete
- circuit ABC AA'B'C' A'A, the resultant flow in AA' cancels, and the
- circulation in ABC, A'B'C' is the same; this is expressed by saying
- that at all points of a vortex filament [omega][alpha] is constant
- where [alpha] is the cross-section of the filament and [omega] the
- resultant spin (W. K. Clifford, _Kinematic_, book iii.).
-
- So far these theorems on vortex motion are kinematical; but
- introducing the equations of motion of S 22,
-
- Du dQ Dv dQ Dw dQ
- -- + -- = 0, -- + -- = 0, -- + -- = 0, (6)
- dt dx dt dy dt dz
- _
- /
- Q = | dp/[rho] + V, (7)
- _/
-
- and taking dx, dy, dz in the direction of u, v, w, and
-
- dx : dy : dz = u : v : w,
-
- D / \ Du D dx
- -- ( u dx + v dy + w dz ) = -- dx + u ---- + ... = -dQ + (1/2)dq^2, (8)
- dt \ / dt dt
-
- and integrating round a closed curve
- _
- D /
- -- | (u dx + v dy + w dz) = 0, (9)
- dt _/
-
- and the circulation in any circuit composed of the same fluid
- particles is constant; and if the motion is differential irrotational
- and due to a velocity function, the circulation is zero round all
- reconcilable paths. Interpreted dynamically the normal pressure of the
- surrounding fluid on a tube cannot create any circulation in the tube.
-
- The circulation being always zero round a small plane curve passing
- through the axis of spin in vortical motion, it follows conversely
- that a vortex filament is composed always of the same fluid particles;
- and since the circulation round a cross-section of a vortex filament
- is constant, not changing with the time, it follows from the previous
- kinematical theorem that [alpha][omega] is constant for all time, and
- the same for every cross-section of the vortex filament.
-
- A vortex filament must close on itself, or end on a bounding surface,
- as seen when the tip of a spoon is drawn through the surface of water.
-
- Denoting the cross-section [alpha] of a filament by dS and its mass by
- dm, the quantity [omega]dS/dm is called the _vorticity_; this is the
- same at all points of a filament, and it does not change during the
- motion; and the vorticity is given by [omega] cos[epsilon]dS/dm, if dS
- is the oblique section of which the normal makes an angle [epsilon]
- with the filament, while the aggregate vorticity of a mass M inside a
- surface S is
- _
- /
- M^(-1) | [omega] cos [epsilon] dS.

-
- Employing the equation of continuity when the liquid is homogeneous,
-

-
- which is expressed by
-
- [nabla]^2(u,v,w) = 2 curl ([xi], [eta], [zeta]),
- ([xi], [eta], [zeta]) = (1/2) curl (u, v, w). (11)

- motion of a solid in liquid, it is convenient to take coordinate axes
- fixed to the solid and moving with it as the movable trihedron frame
- of reference. The components of velocity of the moving origin are
- denoted by U, V, W, and the components of angular velocity of the
- frame of reference by P, Q, R; and then if u, v, w denote the
- components of fluid velocity in space, and u', v', w' the components
- relative to the axes at a point (x, y, z) fixed to the frame of
- reference, we have
-
- u = U + u' - yR + zQ, (1)
- v = V + v'- zP + xR,
- w = W + w' - xQ + yP.
-
- Now if k denotes the component of absolute velocity in a direction
- fixed in space whose direction cosines are l, m, n,
-
- k = lu + mv + nw; (2)
-
- and in the infinitesimal element of time dt, the coordinates of the
- fluid particle at (x, y, z) will have changed by (u', v', w')dt; so
- that
-
- Dk dl dm dn
- -- = --u + --v + --w
- dt dt dt dt
-
- / du du du du \
- + l( -- + u'-- + v'-- + w'-- )
- \ dt dx dy dz /
-
- / dv dv dv dv \
- + m( -- + u'-- + v'-- + w'-- )
- \ dt dx dy dz /
-
- / dw dw dw dw \
- + n( -- + u'-- + v'-- + w'-- ). (3)
- \ dt dx dy dz /
-
- But as l, m, n are the direction cosines of a line fixed in space,
-
- dl dm dn
- -- = mR - nQ, -- = nP - lR, -- = lQ - mP; (4)
- dt dt dt
-
- so that
-
- Dk / du du du du \
- -- = l( -- - vR + wQ + u'-- + v'-- + w'-- ) + m(...) + n(...)
- dt \ dt dx dy dz /
-
- / 1 dp \ / 1 dp \ / 1 dp \
- = l( X- --- -- ) + m( Y - --- -- ) + n( Z - --- -- ), (5)
- \ p dx / \ p dy / \ p dz /
-
- for all values of l, m, n, leading to the equations of motion with
- moving axes.
-
- When the motion is such that
-
- d[phi] d[psi] d[phi] d[psi] d[phi] d[psi]
- u = - ------ - m------, v = - ------ - m------, w = - ------ - m------, (6)
- dx dx dy dy dz dz
-
- as in S25 (1), a first integral of the equations in (5) may be written
- _
- / dp d[phi] d[psi] / d[phi] d[psi] \
- | ----- + V + (1/2)q^2 - ------ - m------ + (u - u') ( ------ + m------ )
- _/ [rho] dt dt \ dx dx /
-
- / d[phi] d[psi]\ / d[phi] d[psi]\
- + (v - v')( ------ + m------ ) + (w - w')( ------ + m------ ) = F(t), (7)
- \ dy dy / \ dz dz /
- in which
-
- d[phi] d[phi] d[phi] d[phi]
- ------ - (u - u')------ - (v -v')------ - (w - w')------
- dt dx dy dz
-
- d[phi] d[phi] d[phi] d[phi]
- = ------ - (U - yR + zQ)------ - (V - zP + xR)------ - (W - xQ + yP)------ (8)
- dt dx dy dz
-
- is the time-rate of change of [phi] at a point fixed in space, which
- is left behind with velocity components u - u', v - v', w - w'.
-
- In the case of a steady motion of homogeneous liquid symmetrical about
- Ox, where O is advancing with velocity U, the equation (5) of S 34
-
- p/[rho] + V + (1/2)q'^2 - [f]([psi]') = constant (9)
-
- becomes transformed into
-
- p U d[psi]
- ----- + V + (1/2)q^2 - --- ------ + (1/2)U^2 - [f]([psi] + (1/2)Uy^2) = constant, (10)
- [rho] y dy
-
- [psi]' = [psi] + (1/4)U^2, (11)
-
- subject to the condition, from (4) S 34,
-
- y^(-2)[nabla]^2 [psi]' = -[f]'([psi]'),
- y^(-2)[nabla]^2 [psi] = -[f]'([psi] + (1/2)Uy^2). (12)
-
- Thus, for example, with
-
- [psi]' = (3/4)Uy^2(r^2 a^(-2) - 1), r^2 = x^2 + y^2, (13)
-
- for the space inside the sphere r = a, compared with the value of
- [psi]' in S 34 (13) for the space outside, there is no discontinuity of
- the velocity in crossing the surface.
-
- Inside the sphere
-
- d / 1 d[psi]'\ d / 1 d[psi]'\ 15 y
- 2[zeta] = --- ( --- ------- ) + --- ( --- ------- ) = ---U ---, (14)
- dx \ y dx / dy \ y dy / 2 a^2
-
- so that S 34 (4) is satisfied, with
-
- 15 15
- [f]'([psi]')= ---Ua^(-2), [f]([psi]') = ---U[psi]'a^(-2); (15)
- 2 2
-
- and (10) reduces to
- _ _
- p 9 | / x^2 \^2 / y^2 \^2 |
- ----- + V - ---U | ( --- -1 ) - ( --- - 1/2 ) | = constant; (16)
- [rho] 8 |_ \ a^2 / \ a^2 / _|
-
- this gives the state of motion in M. J. M. Hill's spherical vortex,
- advancing through the surrounding liquid with uniform velocity.
-
- 39. As an application of moving axes, consider the motion of liquid
- filling the ellipsoidal case
-
- x^2 y^2 z^2
- --- + --- + --- = 1; (1)
- a^2 b^2 c^2
-
- and first suppose the liquid to be frozen, and the ellipsoid to be
- rotating about the centre with components of angular velocity [xi],
- [eta], [zeta]; then
-
- u = - y[zeta] + z[eta], v = - z[xi] + x[zeta],
- w = - x[eta] + y[xi]. (2)
-
- Now suppose the liquid to be melted, and additional components of
- angular velocity [Omega]1, [Omega]2, [Omega]3 communicated to the
- ellipsoidal case; the additional velocity communicated to the liquid
- will be due to a velocity-function
-
- b^2 - c^2 c^2 - a^2 a^2 - b^2
- [phi] = - [Omega]1 --------- yz - [Omega]2 ---------zx - [Omega]3 ---------xy, (3)
- b^2 + c^2 c^2 + a^2 a^2 + b^2
-
- as may be verified by considering one term at a time.
-
- If u', v', w' denote the components of the velocity of the liquid
- relative to the axes,
-
- 2a^2 2a^2
- u' = u + yR - zQ = --------- [Omega]3 y - --------- [Omega]2 z, (4)
- a^2 + b^2 c^2 + a^2
-
- 2b^2 2b^2
- v' = v + zP - xR = --------- [Omega]1 z - --------- [Omega]3 x, (5)
- b^2 + c^2 a^2 + b^2
-
- 2c^2 2c^2
- w' = w + xQ - yP = --------- [Omega]2 x - --------- [Omega]1 y, (6)
- c^2 + a^2 b^2 + c^2
-
- P = [Omega]1 + [xi], Q = [Omega]2 + [eta], R = [Omega]3 + [zeta]. (7)
-
- Thus
-
- x y z
- u' --- + v' --- + w' --- = 0, (8)
- a2 b2 c2
-
- so that a liquid particle remains always on a similar ellipsoid.
-
- The hydrodynamical equations with moving axes, taking into account the
- mutual gravitation of the liquid, become
-
- 1 dp du du du du
- ----- -- + 4[pi][rho]Ax + -- - vR + wQ + u'-- + v'-- + w'-- = 0, ... , ... , (9)
- [rho] dx dt dx dy dz
-
- where
- _
- / [oo] abcd[lambda]
- A, B, C = | -------------------------------------------------
- _/ 0 (a^2 + [lambda], b^2 + [lambda], c^2 + [lambda])P
-
- P^2 = 4(a^2 + [lambda]) (b^2 + [lambda]) (c^2 + [lambda]). (10)
-
- With the values above of u, v, w, u', v', w', the equations become of
- the form
-
- 1 dp
- ----- -- + 4[pi][rho]Ax + [alpha]x + hy + gz = 0, (11)
- [rho] dx
-
- 1 dp
- ----- -- + 4[pi][rho]By + hx + [beta]y + fz = 0, (12)
- [rho] dy
-
- 1 dp
- ----- -- + 4[pi][rho]Cz + gx + fy + [gamma]z = 0, (13)
- [rho] dz
-
- and integrating
-
- p[rho]^(-1) + 2[pi][rho](Ax^2 + By^2 + Cz^2)
-
- + (1/2)([alpha]x^2 + [beta]y^2 + [gamma]z^2 + 2fyz + 2gzx + 2hxy) = const., (14)
-
- so that the surfaces of equal pressure are similar quadric surfaces,
- which, symmetry and dynamical considerations show, must be coaxial
- surfaces; and f, g, h vanish, as follows also by algebraical
- reduction; and
-
- 4c^2(c^2 - a^2) / c^2 - a^2 \^2
- [alpha] = ---------------[Omega]2^2 - ( ---------[Omega]2 - [eta] )
- (c^2 + a^2)^2 \ c^2 + a^2 /
-
- 4b^2(a^2 - b^2) / a^2 - b^2 \^2
- - ---------------[Omega]3^2 - ( ---------[Omega]3 - [zeta] ), (15)
- (a^2 + b^2)^2 \ a^2 + b^2 /
-
- with similar equations for [beta] and [gamma].
-
- If we can make
-
- (4[pi][rho]A + [alpha])x^2 = (4[pi][rho]B + [beta])b^2
- = (4[pi][rho]C + [gamma])c^2, (16)
-
- the surfaces of equal pressure are similar to the external case, which
- can then be removed without affecting the motion, provided [alpha],
- [beta], [gamma] remain constant.
-
- This is so when the axis of revolution is a principal axis, say Oz;
- when
-
- [Omega]1 = 0, [Omega]2 = 0, [xi] = 0, [eta] = 0. (17)
-
- If [Omega]3 = 0 or [theta]3 = [zeta] in addition, we obtain the
- solution of Jacobi's ellipsoid of liquid of three unequal axes,
- rotating bodily about the least axis; and putting a = b, Maclaurin's
- solution is obtained of the rotating spheroid.
-
- In the general motion again of the liquid filling a case, when a = b,
- [Omega]3 may be replaced by zero, and the equations, hydrodynamical
- and dynamical, reduce to
-

-
-An experiment was devised by Lord Kelvin for demonstrating this, in
-which the difference of steadiness was shown of a copper shell filled
-with liquid and spun gyroscopically, according as the shell was slightly
-oblate or prolate. According to the theory above the stability is
-regained when the length is more than three diameters, so that a modern
-projectile with a cavity more than three diameters long should fly
-steadily when filled with water; while the old-fashioned type, not so
-elongated, would be highly unsteady; and for the same reason the gas
-bags of a dirigible balloon should be over rather than under three
-diameters long.
-
-40. _A Liquid Jet._--By the use of the complex variable and its
-conjugate functions, an attempt can be made to give a mathematical
-interpretation of problems such as the efflux of water in a jet or of
-smoke from a chimney, the discharge through a weir, the flow of water
-through the piers of a bridge, or past the side of a ship, the wind
-blowing on a sail or aeroplane, or against a wall, or impinging jets of
-gas or water; cases where a surface of discontinuity is observable, more
-or less distinct, which separates the running stream from the dead water
-or air.
-
- Uniplanar motion alone is so far amenable to analysis; the velocity
- function [phi] and stream function [psi] are given as conjugate
- functions of the coordinates x, y by
-
- w = [f](z) where z = x + yi, w = [phi] + [psi]i, (1)
-
- and then
-
- dw d[phi] d[psi]
- -- = ------ + i------ = -u + vi; (2)
- dz dx dx
-
- so that, with u = q cos [theta], v = q sin [theta], the function
-
- dz Q Q Q
- [zeta] = -Q -- = -------- = ---(u + vi) = --- (cos [theta] + i sin [theta]), (3)
- dw (u - vi) q^2 q
-
- gives [zeta] as a vector representing the reciprocal of the velocity q
- in direction and magnitude, in terms of some standard velocity Q.
-
- To determine the motion of a jet which issues from a vessel with plane
- walls, the vector [zeta] must be Constructed so as to have a constant
- direction [theta] along a plane boundary, and to give a constant skin
- velocity over the surface of a jet, where the pressure is constant.
-
- It is convenient to introduce the function
-
- [Omega] = log [zeta] = log(Q/q) + [theta]i (4)
-
- so that the polygon representing [Omega] conformally has a boundary
- given by straight lines parallel to the coordinate axes; and then to
- determine [Omega] and w as functions of a variable u (not to be
- confused with the velocity component of q), such that in the conformal
- representation the boundary of the [Omega] and w polygon is made to
- coincide with the real axis of u.
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 4.]
-
- It will be sufficient to give a few illustrations.
-
- Consider the motion where the liquid is coming from an infinite
- distance between two parallel walls at a distance xx' (fig. 4), and
- issues in a jet between two edges A and A'; the wall xA being bent at
- a corner B, with the external angle [beta] = (1/2)[pi]/n.
-
- The theory of conformal representation shows that the motion is given
- by
- _ _
- | [root](b - a'.u - a) + [root](b - a.u - a') |^1/n
- [zeta] = | ------------------------------------------- | , u = ae^(-[pi]w/m); (5)
- |_ [root](a - a'.u - b) _|
-
- where u = a, a' at the edge A, A^1; u = b at a corner B; u = 0 across
- xx' where [phi] = [oo]; and u = [oo], [phi] = [oo] across the end JJ'
- of the jet, bounded by the curved lines APJ, A'P'J', over which the
- skin velocity is Q. The stream lines xBAJ, xA'J' are given by [psi] =
- 0, m; so that if c denotes the ultimate breadth JJ' of the jet, where
- the velocity may be supposed uniform and equal to the skin velocity Q,
-
- m = Qc, c = m/Q.
-
- If there are more B corners than one, either on xA or x'A', the
- expression for [zeta] is the product of corresponding factors, such as
- in (5).
-
- Restricting the attention to a single corner B,
-
- / Q \^n [root](b - a'.u - a) + [root](b - a.u - a')

- coefficient of contraction, or

- ---------------------- = --------. (4)
- breadth of the orifice [pi] + 2
-
- A change of [Omega] and [theta] into n[Omega] and n[theta] will give
- the solution for two walls converging symmetrically to the orifice AA1
- at an angle [pi]/n. With n = 1/2, the reentrant walls are given of
- Borda's mouthpiece, and the coefficient of contraction becomes 1/2.
- Generally, by making a' = - [oo], the line x'A' may be taken as a
- straight stream line of infinite length, forming an axis of symmetry;
- and then by duplication the result can be obtained, with assigned n,
- a, and b, of the efflux from a symmetrical converging mouthpiece, or

-
- Thus with a' = 0, a stream is split symmetrically by a wedge of angle

-
- The motion of a jet impinging on an infinite barrier is obtained by
- putting j = a, j' = a'; duplicated on the other side of the barrier,
- the motion reversed will represent the direct collision of two jets of
- unequal breadth and equal velocity. When the barrier is small compared
- with the jet, [alpha] = [beta] = [beta]', and G. Kirchhoff's solution
- is obtained of a barrier placed obliquely in an infinite stream.
-
- Two corners B1 and B2 in the wall xA, with a' = -[oo], and n = 1, will
- give the solution, by duplication, of a jet issuing by a reentrant
- mouthpiece placed symmetrically in the end wall of the channel; or
- else of the channel blocked partially by a diaphragm across the
- middle, with edges turned back symmetrically, problems discussed by J.
- H. Michell, A. E. H. Love and M. Rethy.
-
- When the polygon is closed by the walls joining, instead of reaching
- back to infinity at xx', the liquid motion must be due to a source,
- and this modification has been worked out by B. Hopkinson in the
- _Proc. Lond. Math. Soc._, 1898.
-
- Michell has discussed also the hollow vortex stationary inside a
- polygon (_Phil. Trans._, 1890); the solution is given by
-
- ch n[Omega] = sn w, sh n[Omega] = i cn w (11)
-
- so that, round the boundary of the polygon, [psi] = K', sin n[theta] =
- 0; and on the surface of the vortex [psi] = 0, q = Q, and
-
- cos n[theta] = sn [phi], n[theta] = (1/2)[pi] - am s/c, (12)
-
- the intrinsic equation of the curve.
-
- This is a closed Sumner line for n = 1, when the boundary consists of
- two parallel walls; and n = (1/2) gives an Elastica.
-
- 44. _The Motion of a Solid through a Liquid._--An important problem in
- the motion of a liquid is the determination of the state of velocity
- set up by the passage of a solid through it; and thence of the
- pressure and reaction of the liquid on the surface of the solid, by
- which its motion is influenced when it is free.
-
- Beginning with a single body in liquid extending to infinity, and
- denoting by U, V, W, P, Q, R the components of linear and angular
- velocity with respect to axes fixed in the body, the velocity function
- takes the form
-
- [phi] = U_[phi]1 + V_[phi]2 + W_[phi]3 + P_[chi]1 + Q_[chi]2 + R_[chi]3, (1)
-
- where the [phi]'s and [chi]'s are functions of x, y, z, depending on
- the shape of the body; interpreted dynamically, C - [rho][phi]
- represents the impulsive pressure required to stop the motion, or C +
- [rho][phi] to start it again from rest.
-
- The terms of [phi] may be determined one at a time, and this problem
- is purely kinematical; thus to determine [phi]1, the component U alone
- is taken to exist, and then l, m, n, denoting the direction cosines of
- the normal of the surface drawn into the exterior liquid, the function
- [phi]1 must be determined to satisfy the conditions
-
- (i.) [nabla]^2 [phi]1 = 0. throughout the liquid;
-
- (ii.) d[ph]1/d[upsilon] = -l, the gradient of [phi] down the normal at
- the surface of the moving solid;
-
- (iii.) d[ph]1/d[upsilon] = 0, over a fixed boundary, or at infinity;
-
- similarly for [phi]2 and [phi]3.
-
- To determine [chi]1 the angular velocity P alone is introduced, and
- the conditions to be satisfied are
-
- (i.) [nabla]^2 [chi]1 = 0, throughout the liquid;
-
- (ii.) d[chi]1/d[upsilon] = mz - ny, at the surface of the moving body,
- but zero over a fixed surface, and at infinity; the same for [chi]2
- and [chi]3.
-
- For a cavity filled with liquid in the interior of the body, since the
- liquid inside moves bodily for a motion of translation only,
-
- [phi]1 = -x, [phi]2 = -y, [phi]3 = -z; (2)
-
- but a rotation will stir up the liquid in the cavity, so that the
- [chi]'s depend on the shape of the surface.
-
- The ellipsoid was the shape first worked out, by George Green, in his
- _Research on the Vibration of a Pendulum in a Fluid Medium_ (1833);
- the extension to any other surface will form an important step in this
- subject.
-
- A system of confocal ellipsoids is taken
-
- x^2 y^2 z^2
- -------------- + -------------- + -------------- = 1 (3)
- a^2 + [lambda] b^2 + [lambda] c^2 + [lambda]
-
- and a velocity function of the form
-
- [phi] = x[psi], (4)
-
- where [psi] is a function of [lambda] only, so that [psi] is constant
- over an ellipsoid; and we seek to determine the motion set up, and the
- form of [psi] which will satisfy the equation of continuity.
-
- Over the ellipsoid, p denoting the length of the perpendicular from
- the centre on a tangent plane,
-
- px py pz
- l = --------------, m = --------------, n = -------------- (5)
- a^2 + [lambda] b^2 + [lambda] c^2 + [lambda]
-
- p^2x^2 p^2y^2 p^2z^2
- 1 = ------------------ + ------------------ + ------------------, (6)
- (a^2 + [lambda])^2 (b^2 + [lambda])^2 (c^2 + [lambda])^2
-
- p^2 = (a^2 + [lambda])l^2 + (b^2 + [lambda])m^2 + (c^2 + [lambda])n^2, (7)
- = a^2 l^2 + b^2 m^2 + c^2 n^2 + [lambda],

- ds ds ds
-
- dx d[psi] dp
- = --[psi] + 2(a^2 + [lambda])--------- l--, (9)
- ds d[lambda] ds
-
- so that the velocity of the liquid may be resolved into a component
- -[psi] parallel to Ox, and -2(a^2 + [lambda])l d[psi]/d[lambda] along
- the normal of the ellipsoid; and the liquid flows over an ellipsoid
- along a line of slope with respect to Ox, treated as the vertical.
-
- Along the normal itself
-
- d[phi] / d[psi] \
- ----- = ( [psi] + 2(a^2 + [lambda])--------- ) l, (10)
- ds \ d[lambda] /
-
- so that over the surface of an ellipsoid where [lambda] and [psi] are
- constant, the normal velocity is the same as that of the ellipsoid
- itself, moving as a solid with velocity parallel to Ox
-
- d[psi]
- U = -[psi] - 2(a^2 + [lambda])---------, (11)
- d[lambda]
-
- and so the boundary condition is satisfied; moreover, any ellipsoidal
- surface [lambda] may be supposed moving as if rigid with the velocity
- in (11), without disturbing the liquid motion for the moment.
-
- The continuity is secured if the liquid between two ellipsoids
- [lambda] and [lambda]1, moving with the velocity U and U1 of equation
- (11), is squeezed out or sucked in across the plane x = 0 at a rate
- equal to the integral flow of the velocity [psi] across the annular
- area [alpha]1 - [alpha] of the two ellipsoids made by x = 0; or if

-
- and integrating
-
- d[psi]
- (a^2 + [lambda])^3/2 [alpha]--------- = a constant, (16)
- d[lambda]
-
- so that we may put

-
- P^2 = 4(a^2 + [lambda])(b^2 + [lambda])(c^2 + [lambda]), (18)
-
- where M denotes a constant; so that [psi] is an elliptic integral of
- the second kind.
-
- The quiescent ellipsoidal surface, over which the motion is entirely

-

- 2(a^2 + [lambda])--------- + [psi] = 0, (19)
- d[lambda]
-
- and this is the infinite boundary ellipsoid if we make the upper limit
- [lambda]1 = [oo].
-
- The velocity of the ellipsoid defined by [lambda] = 0 is then

-
- For a sphere
-
- a = b = c, A0 = B0 = C0 = 1/3, [alpha] = [beta] = [gamma] = 1/2, (29)
-
- so that the effective inertia of a sphere is increased by half the
- weight of liquid displaced; and in frictionless air or liquid the
- sphere, of weight W, will describe a parabola with vertical

- A0 + 2A1 a1^3 + 2a^3
- --------- W' = (1/2) ----------- W'. (3)
- 2A0 - 2A1 a1^3 - a^3
-
- When the spheres are not concentric, an expression for the effective
- inertia can be found by the method of images (W. M. Hicks, _Phil.
- Trans._, 1880).
-
- The image of a source of strength [mu] at S outside a sphere of radius
- a is a source of strength [mu]a/[f] at H, where OS = [f], OH = a^2/f,
- and a line sink reaching from the image H to the centre O of line
- strength - [mu]/a; this combination will be found to produce no flow
- across the surface of the sphere.
-
- Taking Ox along OS, the Stokes' function at P for the source S is [mu]
- cos PSx, and of the source H and line sink OH is [mu](a/[f]) cos PHx
- and -([mu]/a)(PO - PH); so that
-
- / a PO - PH \
- [psi] = [mu] (cos PSx + --- cos PHx - ------- ), (4)
- \ [f] a /
-
- and [psi] = -[mu], a constant, over the surface of the sphere, so that
- there is no flow across.
-
- When the source S is inside the sphere and H outside, the line sink
- must extend from H to infinity in the image system; to realize
- physically the condition of zero flow across the sphere, an equal sink
- must be introduced at some other internal point S'.
-
- When S and S' lie on the same radius, taken along Ox, the Stokes'
- function can be written down; and when S and S' coalesce a doublet is
- produced, with a doublet image at H.
-
- For a doublet at S, of moment m, the Stokes' function is
-
- d y^2
- m-- cos PSx = -m----; (5)
- df PS^3
-
- and for its image at H the Stokes' function is
-
- d a^3 y^2
- m-- cos PHx = -m--- ----; (6)
- df f^3 PH^3
-
- so that for the combination
-
- / a^3 1 1 \ y^2 / a^3 f^3 \
- [psi] = my^2 ( --- ---- - ---- ) = m--- ( ---- - ---- ), (7)
- \ f^3 PH^3 PS^3 / f^3 \ PH^3 PS^3 /
-
- and this vanishes over the surface of the sphere.
-
- There is ao Stokes' function when the axis of the doublet at S does
- not pass through O; the image system will consist of an inclined
- doublet at H, making an equal angle with OS as the doublet S, and of a
- parallel negative line doublet, extending from H to O, of moment
- varying as the distance from O.
-
- A distribution of sources and doublets over a moving surface will
- enable an expression to be obtained for the velocity function of a
- body moving in the presence of a fixed sphere, or inside it.
-
- The method of electrical images will enable the stream function [psi]'
- to be inferred from a distribution of doublets, finite in number when
- the surface is composed of two spheres intersecting at an angle
- [pi]/m, where m is an integer (R. A. Herman, _Quart. Jour. of Math._
- xxii.).
-
- Thus for m = 2, the spheres are orthogonal, and it can be verified
- that
-
- / a1^3 a2^3 a^3 \
- [psi]' = (1/2)Uy^2 ( 1 - ---- - ---- + --- ), (8)
- \ r1^3 r2^3 r^3 /
-
- where a1, a2, a = a1a2/[root](a1^2 + a2^2) is the radius of the
- spheres and their circle of intersection, and r1, r2, r the distances
- of a point from their centres.
-
- The corresponding expression for two orthogonal cylinders will be
-
- / a1^2 a2^2 a^2 \
- [psi]' = Uy ( 1 - ---- - ---- + --- ). (9)
- \ r1^2 r2^2 r^2 /
-
- With a2 = [oo], these reduce to

- \ r^5 / a \ r^4 / a
-
- for a sphere or cylinder, and a diametral plane.
-
- Two equal spheres, intersecting at 120 deg., will require

- |_ a 2r1^3 2r1^5 2r2^3 2r2^5 _|
-
- with a similar expression for cylinders; so that the plane x = 0 may
- be introduced as a boundary, cutting the surface at 60 deg. The motion
- of these cylinders across the line of centres is the equivalent of a
- line doublet along each axis.
-
- 47. The extension of Green's solution to a rotation of the ellipsoid
- was made by A. Clebsch, by taking a velocity function
-
- [phi] = xy[chi] (1)
-
- for a rotation R about Oz; and a similar procedure shows that an

-
- The velocity function of the liquid inside the ellipsoid [lambda] = 0
- due to the same angular velocity will be
-
- [phi]1 = Rxy(a^2 - b^2)/(a^2 + b^2), (7)
-
- and on the surface outside
-
- N B0 - A0
- [phi]0 = xy[chi]0 = xy--- ---------, (8)

-
- The extension to the case where the liquid is bounded externally by a
- fixed ellipsoid [lambda] = [lambda]1 is made in a similar manner, by
- putting
-
- [phi] = xy([chi] + M), (10)
-

-
- a = c ch [alpha], b = c sh [alpha],
- a1 = [root](a^2 + [lambda]) = c ch [alpha]1, b1 = c sh [alpha]1 (13)
-
- the ratio in (11) agrees with S 31 (6).
-
- As before in S 31, the rotation may be resolved into a shear-pair, in
- planes perpendicular to Ox and Oy.
-
- A torsion of the ellipsoidal surface will give rise to a velocity
- function of the form [phi] = xyz[Omega], where [Omega] can be
- expressed by the elliptic integrals A_[lambda], B_[lambda],
- C_[lambda], in a similar manner, since

- 48. The determination of the [phi]'s and [chi]'s is a kinematical
- problem, solved as yet only for a few cases, such as those discussed
- above.
-
- But supposing them determined for the motion of a body through a
- liquid, the kinetic energy T of the system, liquid and body, is
- expressible as a quadratic function of the components U, V, W, P, Q,
- R. The partial differential coefficient of T with respect to a
- component of velocity, linear or angular, will be the component of
- momentum, linear or angular, which corresponds.
-
- Conversely, if the kinetic energy T is expressed as a quadratic
- function of x1, x2, x3, y1, y2, y3, the components of momentum, the
- partial differential coefficient with respect to a momentum component
- will give the component of velocity to correspond.
-
- These theorems, which hold for the motion of a single rigid body, are
- true generally for a flexible system, such as considered here for a
- liquid, with one or more rigid bodies swimming in it; and they express
- the statement that the work done by an impulse is the product of the
- impulse and the arithmetic mean of the initial and final velocity; so
- that the kinetic energy is the work done by the impulse in starting
- the motion from rest.
-
- Thus if T is expressed as a quadratic function of U, V, W, P, Q, R,
- the components of momentum corresponding are
-
- dT dT dT
- x1 = --, x2 = --, x3 = --, (1)
- dU dV dW
-
- dT dT dT
- y1 = --, y2 = --, y3 = --;

-
- where X, Y, Z, L, M, N denote components of external applied force on
- the body.
-
- These equations are proved by taking a line fixed in space, whose

-
- When no external force acts, the case which we shall consider, there
- are three integrals of the equations of motion
-
- (i.) T = constant,
-
- (ii.) x1^2 + x2^2 + x3^2 = F^2, a constant,
-
- (iii.) x1y1 + x2y2 + x3y3 = n = GF, a constant;
-
- and the dynamical equations in (3) express the fact that x1, x2, x3
- are the components of a constant vector having a fixed direction;
- while (4) shows that the vector resultant of y1, y2, y3 moves as if
- subject to a couple of components
-
- x2W - x3V, x3U - x1W, x1V - x2U, (10)
-
- and the resultant couple is therefore perpendicular to F, the
- resultant of x1, x2, x3, so that the component along OF is constant,
- as expressed by (iii).
-
- If a fourth integral is obtainable, the solution is reducible to a
- quadrature, but this is not possible except in a limited series of
- cases, investigated by H. Weber, F. Kotter, R. Liouville, Caspary,
- Jukovsky, Liapounoff, Kolosoff and others, chiefly Russian
- mathematicians; and the general solution requires the double-theta
- hyperelliptic function.

- most general expression of the kinetic energy was shown by A. Clebsch
- to take the form

-describes a cone round the direction of motion of the centre of gravity,
-and the couple causing precession is due to the displacement of the
-medium.
-
-In the absence of a medium the inertia of the body to translation is the
-same in all directions, and is measured by the weight W, and under no
-force the C.G. proceeds in a straight line, and the axis of rotation
-through the C.G. preserves its original direction, if a principal axis
-of the body; otherwise the axis describes a cone, right circular if the
-body has uniaxial symmetry, and a Poinsot cone in the general case.
-
-But the presence of the medium makes the effective inertia depend on the
-direction of motion with respect to the external shape of the body, and
-on W' the weight of fluid medium displaced.
-
- Consider, for example, a submarine boat under water; the inertia is
- different for axial and broadside motion, and may be represented by
-
- c1 = W + W'[alpha], c2 = W + W'[beta], (1)
-
- where [alpha], [beta] are numerical factors depending on the external
- shape; and if the C.G. is moving with velocity V at an angle [phi]
- with the axis, so that the axial and broadside component of velocity
- is u = V cos [phi], v = V sin [phi], the total momentum F of the
- medium, represented by the vector OF at an angle [theta] with the
- axis, will have components, expressed in sec. lb.,
-
- u V v V
- F cos [theta] = c1 --- = (W + W'[alpha]) --- cos [phi], F sin [theta] = c2 --- = (W + W'[beta]) --- sin [phi]. (2)
- g g g g
-
- Suppose the body is kept from turning as it advances; after t seconds
- the C.G. will have moved from O to O', where OO' = Vt; and at O' the
- momentum is the same in magnitude as before, but its vector is
- displaced from OF to O'F'.
-
- For the body alone the resultant of the components of momentum
-
- V V V
- W --- cos [phi] and W --- sin [phi] is W --- sec. lb., (3)
- g g g
-
- acting along OO', and so is unaltered.
-
- But the change of the resultant momentum F of the medium as well as of
- the body from the vector OF to O'F' requires an impulse couple,
- tending to increase the angle FOO', of magnitude, in sec. foot-pounds
-
- F.OO'.sin FOO' = FVt sin ([theta] - [phi]), (4)
-
- equivalent to an incessant couple
-
- N = FV sin ([theta] - [phi])
- = (F sin [theta] cos [phi] - F cos [theta] sin [phi])V
- = (c2 - c1)(V^2/g) sin [phi] cos [phi]
- = W'([beta] - [alpha]uv/g). (5)
-
- This N is the couple in foot-pounds changing the momentum of the
- medium, the momentum of the body alone remaining the same; the medium
- reacts on the body with the same couple N in the opposite direction,
- tending when c2-c1 is positive to set the body broadside to the
- advance.
-
- An oblate flattened body, like a disk or plate, has c2 - c1 negative,
- so that the medium steers the body axially; this may be verified by a
- plate dropped in water, and a leaf or disk or rocket-stick or piece of
- paper falling in air. A card will show the influence of the couple N
- if projected with a spin in its plane, when it will be found to change
- its aspect in the air.
-
- An elongated body like a ship has c2-c1 positive, and the couple N
- tends to disturb the axial movement and makes it unstable, so that a
- steamer requires to be steered by constant attention at the helm.
-
- Consider a submarine boat or airship moving freely with the direction
- of the resultant momentum horizontal, and the axis at a slight
- inclination [theta]. With no reserve of buoyancy W = W', and the
- couple N, tending to increase [theta], has the effect of diminishing
- the metacentric height by h ft. vertical, where
-
- c1 u^2
- Wh tan[theta] = N = (c2 - c1) -- --- tan [theta], (6)
- c2 g

- c2 - c1 c1 u^2 1 + [alpha] u^2
- h = ------- -- --- = ([beta] - [alpha] ----------- ---. (7)
- W c2 g 1 + [beta] g
-
-51. An elongated shot is made to preserve its axial flight through the
-air by giving it the spin sufficient for stability, without which it
-would turn broadside to its advance; a top in the same way is made to
-stand upright on the point in the position of equilibrium, unstable
-statically but dynamically stable if the spin is sufficient; and the
-investigation proceeds in the same way for the two problems (see
-GYROSCOPE).
-
- The effective angular inertia of the body in the medium is now
- required; denote it by C1 about the axis of the figure, and by C2
- about a diameter of the mean section. A rotation about the axis of a
- figure of revolution does not set the medium in motion, so that C1 is
- the moment of inertia of the body about the axis, denoted by Wk1^2.
- But if Wk2^2 is the moment of inertia of the body about a mean
- diameter, and [omega] the angular velocity about it generated by an
- impulse couple M, and M' is the couple required to set the surrounding
- medium in motion, supposed of effective radius of gyration k',
-
- Wk2^2 [omega] = M - M', W'k'^2 [omega] = M', (1)
-
- Wk2^2 + W'k'^2 [omega] = M, (2)
-
- C2 = Wk2^2 + W'k'^2 = (W + W'[epsilon])k2^2, (3)
-
- in which we have put k'^2 = [epsilon]k^2, where [epsilon] is a
- numerical factor depending on the shape.
-
- If the shot is spinning about its axis with angular velocity p, and is
- preceding steadily at a rate [mu] about a line parallel to the
- resultant momentum F at an angle [theta], the velocity of the vector
- of angular momentum, as in the case of a top, is
-
- C1p[mu] sin [theta] - C2[mu]^2 sin [theta] cos [theta]; (4)
-
- and equating this to the impressed couple (multiplied by g), that is,
- to
-
- c1
- gN = (c1 - c2)-- u^2 tan [theta], (5)

- 53. _The Motion of a Perforated Solid in Liquid._--In the preceding
- investigation, the liquid stops dead when the body is brought to rest;
- and when the body is in motion the surrounding liquid moves in a
- uniform manner with respect to axes fixed in the body, and the force
- experienced by the body from the pressure of the liquid on its surface
- is the opposite of that required to change the motion of the liquid;
- this has been expressed by the dynamical equations given above. But if
- the body is perforated, the liquid can circulate through a hole, in
- reentrant stream lines linked with the body, even while the body is at
- rest; and no reaction from the surface can influence this circulation,
- which may be supposed started in the ideal manner described in S 29,
- by the application of impulsive pressure across an ideal membrane
- closing the hole, by means of ideal mechanism connected with the body.
- The body is held fixed, and the reaction of the mechanism and the
- resultant of the impulsive pressure on the surface are a measure of
- the impulse, linear [xi], [eta], [zeta], and angular [lambda], [mu],
- [nu], required to start the circulation.
-
- This impulse will remain of constant magnitude, and fixed relatively
- to the body, which thus experiences an additional reaction from the
- circulation which is the opposite of the force required to change the
- position in space of the circulation impulse; and these extra forces
- must be taken into account in the dynamical equations.
-
- An article may be consulted in the _Phil. Mag._, April 1893, by G. H.
- Bryan, in which the analytical equations of motion are deduced of a
- perforated solid in liquid, from considerations purely hydrodynamical.
-
- The effect of an external circulation of vortex motion on the motion
- of a cylinder has been investigated in S 29; a similar procedure will
- show the influence of circulation through a hole in a solid, taking as
- the simplest illustration a ring-shaped figure, with uniplanar motion,
- and denoting by [xi] the resultant axial linear momentum of the
- circulation.
-
- As the ring is moved from O to O' in time t, with velocity Q, and
- angular velocity R, the components of liquid momentum change from
-
- [alpha]M'U + [xi] and [beta]M'V along Ox and Oy
-
- to
-
- [alpha]M'U'+ [xi] and [beta]M'V' along O'x' and O'y', (1)
-
- the axis of the ring changing from Ox to O'x'; and
-
- U = Q cos [theta], V = Q sin [theta],
-
- U' = Q cos ([theta] - Rt), V' = Q sin ([theta] - Rt), (2)
-
- so that the increase of the components of momentum, X1, Y1, and N1,
- linear and angular, are
-
- X1 = ([alpha]M'U' + [xi])[cos] Rt - [alpha]M'U - [xi] - [beta]M'V' sin Rt
- = ([alpha] - [beta])M'Q sin ([theta] - Rt) sin Rt - [xi] ver Rt (3)
-
- Y1 = ([alpha]M'U' + [xi]) sin Rt + [beta]M'V' cos Rt - [beta]M'V
- = ([alpha] - [beta])M'Q cos ([theta] - Rt) sin Rt + [xi] sin RT, (4)
-
- N1 = [ -([alpha]M'U' + [xi]) sin ([theta] - Rt) + [beta]M'V' cos ([theta] - Rt)OO'
- = [ -([alpha] - [beta])'Q cos ([theta] - Rt) sin ([theta] - Rt) - [xi] sin ([theta] - Rt)]Qt. (5)
-
- The components of force, X, Y, and N, acting on the liquid at O, and
- reacting on the body, are then
-
- X = lt. X1/t = ([alpha] - [beta])M'QR sin [theta] = ([alpha] - [beta])M'VR, (6)
-
- Y = lt. Y1/t = ([alpha] - [beta])M'QR cos [theta] + [xi]R = ([alpha] - [beta])M'UR + [xi]R, (7)

-HYDROMEDUSAE, a group of marine animals, recognized as belonging to the
-Hydrozoa (q.v.) by the following characters. (1) The polyp (hydropolyp)
-is of simple structure, typically much longer than broad, without
-ectodermal oesophagus or mesenteries, such as are seen in the anthopolyp
-(see article ANTHOZOA); the mouth is usually raised above the peristome
-on a short conical elevation or hypostome; the ectoderm is without cilia.
-(2) With very few exceptions, the polyp is not the only type of
-individual that occurs, but alternates in the life-cycle of a given
-species, with a distinct type, the medusa (q.v.), while in other cases
-the polyp-stage may be absent altogether, so that only medusa-individuals
-occur in the life-cycle.
-
-The Hydromedusae represent, therefore, a sub-class of the Hydrozoa. The
-only other sub-class is the Scyphomedusae (q.v.). The Hydromedusae
-contrast with the Scyphomedusae in the following points. (1) The polyp,
-when present, is without the strongly developed longitudinal retractor
-muscles, forming ridges (_taeniolae_) projecting into the digestive
-cavity, seen in the scyphistoma or scyphopolyp. (2) The medusa, when
-present, has a velum and is hence said to be _craspedote_; the nervous
-system forms two continuous rings running above and below the velum; the
-margin of the umbrella is not lobed (except in Narcomedusae) but entire;
-there are characteristic differences in the sense-organs (see below, and
-SCYPHOMEDUSAE); and gastral filaments (phacellae), subgenital pits, &c.,
-are absent. (3) The gonads, whether formed in the polyp or the medusa,
-are developed in the ectoderm.
-
-The Hydromedusae form a widespread, dominant and highly differentiated
-group of animals, typically marine, and found in all seas and in all
-zones of marine life. Fresh-water forms, however, are also known, very
-few as regards species or genera, but often extremely abundant as
-individuals. In the British fresh-water fauna only two genera, _Hydra_
-and _Cordylophora_, are found; in America occurs an additional genus,
-_Microhydra_. The paucity of fresh-water forms contrasts sharply, with
-the great abundance of marine genera common in all seas and on every
-shore. The species of _Hydra_, however, are extremely common and
-familiar inhabitants of ponds and ditches.
-
-In fresh-water Hydromedusae the life-cycle is usually secondarily
-simplified, but in marine forms the life-cycle may be extremely
-complicated, and a given species often passes in the course of its
-history through widely different forms adapted to different habitats and
-modes of life. Apart from larval or embryonic forms there are found
-typically two types of person, as already stated, the polyp and the
-medusa, each of which may vary independently of the other, since their
-environment and life-conditions are usually quite different. Hence both
-polyp and medusa present characters for classification, and a given
-species, genus or other taxonomic category may be defined by
-polyp-characters or medusa-characters or by both combined. If our
-knowledge of the life-histories of these organisms were perfect, their
-polymorphism would present no difficulties to classification; but
-unfortunately this is far from being the case. In the majority of cases
-we do not know the polyp corresponding to a given medusa, or the medusa
-that arises from a given polyp.[1] Even when a medusa is seen to be
-budded, from a polyp under observation in an aquarium, the difficulty is
-not always solved, since the freshly-liberated, immature medusa may
-differ greatly from the full-grown, sexually-mature medusa after several
-months of life on the high seas (see figs. 11, B, C, and 59, a, b, c).
-To establish the exact relationship it is necessary not only to breed
-but to rear the medusa, which cannot always be done in confinement. The
-alternative is to fish all stages of the medusa in its growth in the
-open sea, a slow and laborious method in which the chance of error is
-very great, unless the series of stages is very complete.
-
-At present, therefore, classifications of the Hydromedusae have a more
-or less tentative character, and are liable to revision with increased
-knowledge of the life-histories of these organisms. Many groups bear at
-present two names, the one representing the group as defined by
-polyp-characters, the other as defined by medusa-characters. It is not
-even possible in all cases to be certain that the polyp-group
-corresponds exactly to the medusa-group, especially in minor systematic
-categories, such as families.
-
-The following is the main outline of the classification that is Adopted
-in the present article. Groups founded on polyp-characters are printed
-in ordinary type, those founded on medusa-characters in italics. For
-definitions of the groups see below.

-
- _Organization and Morphology of the Hydromedusae._
-
-As already stated, there occur in the Hydromedusae two distinct types of
-person, the polyp and the medusa; and either of them is capable of
-non-sexual reproduction by budding, a process which may lead to the
-formation of colonies, composed of more or fewer individuals combined
-and connected together. The morphology of the group thus falls naturally
-into four sections--(1) the hydropolyp, (2) the polyp-colony, (3) the
-hydromedusa, (4) the medusa-colonies. Since, however, medusa-colonies
-occur only in one group, the Siphonophora, and divergent views are held
-with regard to the morphological interpretation of the members of a
-siphonophore, only the first three of the above subdivisions of
-hydromedusa morphology will be dealt with here in a general way, and the
-morphology of the Siphonophora will be considered under the heading of
-the group itself.

-
- 1. _The Hydropolyp_ (fig. 1)--The general characters of this organism
- are described above and in the articles HYDROZOA and POLYP. It is
- rarely free, but usually fixed and incapable of locomotion. The foot
- by which it is attached often sends out root-like processes--the
- _hydrorhiza_ (c). The column (b) is generally long, slender and
- stalk-like (_hydrocaulus_). Just below the crown of tentacles,
- however, the body widens out to form a "head," termed, the _hydranth_
- (a), containing a stomach-like dilatation of the digestive cavity. On
- the upper face of the hydranth the crown of tentacles (t) surrounds
- the peristome, from which rises the conical hypostome, bearing the
- mouth at its extremity. The general ectoderm covering the surface of
- the body has entirely lost the cilia present in the earlier larval
- stages (planula), and may be naked, or clothed in a cuticle or
- exoskeleton, the perisarc (ps), which in its simplest condition is a
- chitinous membrane secreted by the ectoderm. The perisarc when present
- invests the hydrorhiza and hydrocaulus; it may stop short below the
- hydranth, or it may extend farther. In general there are two types of
- exoskeleton, characteristic of the two principal divisions of the
- Hydroidea. In the Gymnoblastea the perisarc either stops below the
- hydranth, or, if continued on to it, forms a closely-fitting
- investment extending as a thin cuticle as far as the bases of the
- tentacles (e.g. _Bimeria_, see G. J. Allman [1],[2] pl. xii. figs, 1
- and 3). In the Calyptoblastea the perisarc is always continued above
- the hydrocaulus, and forms a cup, the hydrangium or hydrotheca (h, t),
- standing off from the body, into which the hydranth can be retracted
- for shelter and protection.

- tentacle. (After Allman).]
-
- The architecture of the hydropolyp, simple though it be, furnishes a
- long series of variations affecting each part of the body. The
- greatest variation, however, is seen in the tentacles. As regards
- number, we find in the aberrant forms _Protohydra_ and _Microhydra_
- tentacles entirely absent. In the curious hydroid _Monobrachium_ a
- single tentacle is present, and the same is the case in _Clathrozoon_;
- in _Amphibrachium_ and in _Lar_ (fig. 11, A) the polyp bears two
- tentacles only. The reduction of the tentacles in all these forms may
- be correlated with their mode of life, and especially with living in a
- constant current of water, which brings food-particles always from one
- direction and renders a complete whorl or circle of tentacles
- unnecessary. Thus _Microhydra_ lives amongst Bryozoa, and appears to
- utilize the currents produced by these animals. _Protohydra_ occurs in
- oyster-banks and _Monobrachium_ also grows on the shells of bivalves,
- and both these hydroids probably fish in the currents produced by the
- lamellibranchs. _Amphibrachium_ grows in the tissues of a sponge,
- _Euplectella_, and protrudes its hydranth into the canal-system of the
- sponge; and _Lar_ grows on the tubes of the worm _Sabella_. With the
- exception of these forms, reduced for the most part in correlation
- with a semi-parasitic mode of life, the tentacles are usually
- numerous. It is rare to find in the polyp a regular, symmetrical
- disposition of the tentacles as in the medusa. The primitive number of
- four in a whorl is seen, however, in _Stauridium_ (fig. 2) and
- _Cladonema_ (Allman [1], pl. xvii.), and in _Clavatella_ each whorl
- consists regularly of eight (Allman, _loc. cit._ pl. xviii.). As a
- rule, however, the number in a whorl is irregular. The tentacles may
- form a single whorl, or more than one; thus in _Corymorpha_ (fig. 3)
- and _Tubularia_ (fig. 4) there are two circlets; in _Stauridium_ (fig.
- 2) several; in _Coryne_ and _Cordylophora_ the tentacles are scattered
- irregularly over the elongated hydranth.
-
- As regards form, the tentacles show a number of types, of which the
- most important are (1) filiform, _i.e._ cylindrical or tapering from
- base to extremity, as in _Clava_ (fig. 5); (2) capitate, i.e. knobbed
- at the extremity, as in _Coryne_ (see Allman, loc. cit. pl. iv.); (3)
- branched, a rare form in the polyp, but seen in _Cladocoryne_ (see
- Allman, loc. cit. p. 380, fig. 82). Sometimes more than one type of
- form is found in the same polyp; in _Pennaria_ and _Stauridium_ (fig.
- 2) the upper whorls are capitate, the lower filiform. Finally, as
- regards structure, the tentacles may retain their primitive hollow
- nature, or become solid by obliteration of the axial cavity.
-
- The hypostome of the hydropolyp may be small, or, on the other hand,
- as in _Eudendrium_ (Allman, loc. cit. pls. xiii., xiv.), large and
- trumpet-shaped. In the curious polyp _Myriothela_ the body of the
- polyp is differentiated into nutritive and reproductive portions.
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 4.--Diagram of _Tubularia indivisa_. A single
- hydriform person a bearing a stalk carrying numerous degenerate
- medusiform persons or sporosacs b. (After Allman.)]
-
- _Histology._--The ectoderm of the hydropolyp is chiefly sensory,
- contractile and protective in function. It may also be glandular in
- places. It consists of two regions, an external epithelial layer and a
- more internal sub-epithelial layer.
-
- The epithelial layer consists of (1) so-called "indifferent" cells
- secreting the perisarc or cuticle and modified to form glandular cells
- in places; for example, the adhesive cells in the foot. (2) Sensory
- cells, which may be fairly numerous in places, especially on the
- tentacles, but which occur always scattered and isolated, never
- aggregated to form sense-organs as in the medusa. (3) Contractile or
- myo-epithelial cells, with the cell prolonged at the base into a
- contractile muscle-fibre (fig. 6, B). In the hydropolyp the ectodermal
- muscle-fibres are always directed longitudinally. Belonging primarily
- to the epithelial layer, the muscular cells may become secondarily
- sub-epithelial.
-

- FIG. 5.--Colonies of _Clava_. A, _Clava squamata_, magnified. B, _C.
- multicornis_, natural size; p, _polyp_; _gon_, gonophores; rh,
- hydrorhiza.]
-
- The sub-epithelial layer consists primarily of the so-called
- interstitial cells, lodged between the narrowed basal portions of the
- epithelial cells. From them are developed two distinct types of
- histological elements; the genital cells and the cnidoblasts or
- mother-cells of the nematocysts. The sub-epithelial layer thus
- primarily constituted may be recruited by immigration from without of
- other elements, more especially by nervous (ganglion) cells and
- muscle-cells derived from the epithelial layer. In its fullest
- development, therefore, the sub-epithelial layer consists of four
- classes of cell-elements.
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 6 A.--Portion of the body-wall of _Hydra_, showing
- ectoderm cells above, separated by "structureless lamella" from three
- flagellate endoderm cells below. The latter are vacuolated, and
- contain each a nucleus and several dark granules. In the middle
- ectoderm cell are seen a nucleus and three nematocysts, with trigger
- hairs projecting beyond the cuticle. A large nematocyst, with everted
- thread, is seen in the right-hand ectodermal cell. (After F. E.
- Schulze.)]
-
- The genital cells are simple wandering cells (archaeocytes), at first
- minute and without any specially distinctive features, until they
- begin to develop into germ-cells. According to Wulfert [60] the
- primitive germ-cells of _Gonothyraea_ can be distinguished soon after
- the fixation of the planula, appearing amongst the interstitial cells
- of the ectoderm. The germ-cells are capable of extensive migrations,
- not only in the body of the same polyp, but also from parent to bud
- through many non-sexual generations of polyps in a colony (A. Weismann
- [58]).
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 6 B.--Epidermo-muscular cells of _Hydra_. m,
- muscular-fibre processes. (After Kleinenberg, from Gegenbaur.)]
-
- The cnidoblasts are the mother-cells of the nematocysts, each cell
- producing one nematocyst in its interior. The complete nematocyst
- (fig. 7) is a spherical or oval capsule containing a hollow thread,
- usually barbed, coiled in its interior. The capsule has a double wall,
- an outer one (o.c.), tough and rigid in nature, and an inner one
- (i.c.) of more flexible consistence. The outer wall of the capsule is
- incomplete at one pole, leaving an aperture through which the thread
- is discharged. The inner membrane is continuous with the wall of the
- hollow thread at a spot immediately below the aperture in the outer
- wall, so that the thread itself (f) is simply a hollow prolongation of
- the wall of the inner capsule inverted and pushed into its cavity. The
- entire nematocyst is enclosed in the cnidoblast which formed it. When
- the nematocyst is completely developed, the cnidoblast passes outwards
- so as to occupy a superficial position in the ectoderm, and a delicate
- protoplasmic process of sensory nature, termed the _cnidocil_ (cn)
- projects from the cnidoblast like a fine hair or cilium. Many points
- in the development and mechanism of the nematocyst are disputed, but
- it is tolerably certain (1) that the cnidocil is of sensory nature,
- and that stimulation, by contact with prey or in other ways, causes a
- reflex discharge of the nematocyst; (2) that the discharge is an
- explosive change whereby the in-turned thread is suddenly everted and
- turned inside out, being thus shot through the opening in the outer
- wall of the capsule, and forced violently into the tissues of the
- prey, or, it may be, of an enemy; (3) that the thread inflicts not
- merely a mechanical wound, but instils an irritant poison, numbing and
- paralysing in its action. The points most in dispute are, first, how
- the explosive discharge is brought about, whether by pressure exerted
- external to the capsule (i.e. by contraction of the cnidoblast) or by
- internal pressure. N. Iwanzov [27] has brought forward strong grounds
- for the latter view, pointing out that the cnidoblast has no
- contractile mechanism and that measurements show discharged capsules
- to be on the average slightly larger than undischarged ones. He
- believes that the capsule contains a substance which swells very
- rapidly when brought into contact with water, and that in the
- undischarged condition the capsule has its opening closed by a plug of
- protoplasm (x, fig. 7) which prevents access of water to the contents;
- when the cnidocil is stimulated it sets in action a mechanism or
- perhaps a series of chemical changes by which the plug is dissolved or
- removed; as a result water penetrates into the capsule and causes its
- contents to swell, with the result that the thread is everted
- violently. A second point of dispute concerns the spot at which the
- poison is lodged. Iwanzov believes it to be contained within the
- thread itself before discharge, and to be introduced into the tissues
- of the prey by the eversion of the thread. A third point of dispute is
- whether the nematocysts are formed _in situ_, or whether the
- cnidoblasts migrate with them to the region where they are most
- needed; the fact that in _Hydra_, for example, there are no
- interstitial cells in the tentacles, where nematocysts are very
- abundant, is certainly in favour of the view that the cnidoblasts
- migrate on to the tentacles from the body, and that like the genital
- cells the cnidoblasts are wandering cells.

-
- The muscular tissue consists primarily of processes from the bases of
- the epithelial cells, processes which are contractile in nature and
- may be distinctly striated. A further stage in evolution is that the
- muscle-cells lose their connexion with the epithelium and come to lie
- entirely beneath it, forming a sub-epithelial contractile layer,
- developed chiefly in the tentacles of the polyp. The evolution of the
- ganglion-cells, is probably similar; an epithelial cell develops
- processes of nervous nature from the base, which come into connexion
- with the bases of the sensory cells, with the muscular cells, and with
- the similar processes of other nerve-cells; next the nerve-cell loses
- its connexion with the outer epithelium and becomes a sub-epithelial
- ganglion-cell which is closely connected with the muscular layer,
- conveying stimuli from the sensory cells to the contractile elements.
- The ganglion-cells of Hydromedusae are generally very small. In the
- polyp the nervous tissue is always in the form of a scattered plexus,
- never concentrated to form a definite nervous system as in the medusa.
-

-
- FIG. 8.--Vacuolated Endoderm Cells of cartilaginous consistence from
- the axis of the tentacle of a Medusa (_Cunina_).]
-
- The endoderm of the polyp is typically a flagellated epithelium of
- large cells (fig. 6), from the bases of which arise contractile
- muscular processes lying in the plane of the transverse section of the
- body. In different parts of the coelenteron the endoderm may be of
- three principal types--(1) digestive endoderm, the primitive type,
- with cells of large size and considerably vacuolated, found in the
- hydranth; some of these cells may become special glandular cells,
- without flagella or contractile processes; (2) circulatory endoderm,
- without vacuoles and without basal contractile processes, found in the
- hydrorhiza and hydrocaulus; (3) supporting endoderm (fig. 8), seen in
- solid tentacles as a row of cubical vacuolated cells, occupying the
- axis of the tentacle, greatly resembling notochordal tissue,
- particularly that of _Amphioxus_ at a certain stage of development; as
- a fourth variety of endodermal cells excretory cells should perhaps be
- reckoned, as seen in the pores in the foot of _Hydra_ and elsewhere
- (cf. C. Chun, HYDROZOA [1], pp. 314, 315).
-
- The mesogloea in the hydropolyp is a thin elastic layer, in which may
- be lodged the muscular fibres and ganglion cells mentioned above, but
- which never contains any connective tissue or skeletogenous cells or
- any other kind of special mesogloeal corpuscles.

-
- 2. _The Polyp-colony._--All known hydropolyps possess the power of
- reproduction by budding, and the buds produced may become either
- polyps or medusae. The buds may all become detached after a time and
- give rise to separate and independent individuals, as in the common
- _Hydra_, in which only polyp-individuals are produced and sexual
- elements are developed upon the polyps themselves; or, on the other
- hand, the polyp-individuals produced by budding may remain permanently
- in connexion with the parent polyp, in which case sexual elements are
- never developed on polyp-individuals but only on medusa-individuals,
- and a true colony is formed. Thus the typical hydroid colony starts
- from a "founder" polyp, which in the vast majority of cases is fixed,
- but which may be floating, as in _Nemopsis_, _Pelagohydra_, &c. The
- founder-polyp usually produces by budding polyp-individuals, and these
- in their turn produce other buds. The polyps are all non-sexual
- individuals whose function is purely nutritive. After a time the
- polyps, or certain of them, produce by budding medusa-individuals,
- which sooner or later develop sexual elements; in some cases, however,
- the founder-polyp remains solitary, that is to say, does not produce
- polyp-buds, but only medusa-buds, from the first (_Corymorpha_, fig.
- 3, _Myriothela_, &c.). In primitive forms the medusa-individuals are
- set free before reaching sexual maturity and do not contribute
- anything to the colony. In other cases, however, the
- medusa-individuals become sexually mature while still attached to the
- parent polyp, and are then not set free at all, but become appanages
- of the hydroid colony and undergo degenerative changes leading to
- reduction and even to complete obliteration of their original medusan
- structure. In this way the hydroid colony becomes composed of two
- portions of different function, the nutritive "trophosome," composed
- of non-sexual polyps, and the reproductive "gonosome," composed of
- sexual medusa-individuals, which never exercise a nutritive function
- while attached to the colony. As a general rule polyp-buds are
- produced from the hydrorhiza and hydrocaulus, while medusa-buds are
- formed on the hydranth. In some cases, however, medusa-buds are formed
- on the hydrorhiza, as in Hydrocorallines.
-
- In such a colony of connected individuals, the exact limits of the
- separate "persons" are not always clearly marked out. Hence it is
- necessary to distinguish between, first, the "zooids," indicated in
- the case of the polyps by the hydranths, each with mouth and
- tentacles; and, secondly, the "coenosarc," or common flesh, which
- cannot be assigned more to one individual than another, but consists
- of a more or less complicated network of tubes, corresponding to the
- hydrocaulus and hydrorhiza of the primitive independent
- polyp-individual. The coenosarc constitutes a system by which the
- digestive cavity of any one polyp is put into communication with that
- of any other individual either of the trophosome or gonosome. In this
- manner the food absorbed by one individual contributes to the welfare
- of the whole colony, and the coenosarc has the function of circulating
- and distributing nutriment through the colony.
-
- The hydroid colony shows many variations in form and architecture
- which depend simply upon differences in the methods in which polyps
- are budded.
-
- [Illustration: After Hincks, Forbes, and Browne. A and B modified from
- Hincks; C modified from Forbes's _Brit. Naked-eyed Medusae_.
-
- FIG. 11.--_Lar sabellarum_ and two stages of its Medusa, _Willia
- stellata_. A, colony of _Lar_; B and C, young and adult medusae.]
-
- In the first place, buds may be produced only from the hydrorhiza,
- which grows out and branches to form a basal _stolon_, typically
- net-like, spreading over the substratum to which the founder-polyp
- attached itself. From the stolon the daughter-polyps grow up
- vertically. The result is a spreading or creeping colony, with the
- coenosarc in the form of a root-like horizontal network (fig. 5, B;
- 11, A). Such a colony may undergo two principal modifications. The
- meshes of the basal network may become very small or virtually
- obliterated, so that the coenosarc becomes a crust of tubes tending to
- fuse together, and covered over by a common perisarc. Encrusting
- colonies of this kind are seen in _Clava squamata_ (fig. 5, A) and
- _Hydractinia_ (figs. 9, 10), the latter having the perisarc calcified.
- A further very important modification is seen when the tubes of the
- basal perisarc do not remain spread out in one plane, but grow in all
- planes forming a felt-work; the result is a massive colony, such as is
- seen in the so-called Hydrocorallines (fig. 60), where the interspaces
- between the coenosarcal tubes are filled up with calcareous matter, or
- _coenosteum_, replacing the chitinous perisarc. The result is a stony,
- solid mass, which contributes to the building up of coral reefs. In
- massive colonies of this kind no sharp distinction can be drawn
- between hydrorhiza and hydrocaulus in the coenosarc; it is practically
- all hydrorhiza. Massive colonies may assume various forms and are
- often branching or tree-like. A further peculiarity of this type of
- colony is that the entire coenosarcal complex is covered externally by
- a common layer of ectoderm; it is not clear how this covering layer is
- developed.
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 12.--Colony of _Bougainvillea fruticosa_, natural
- size, attached to the underside of a piece of floating timber. (After
- Allman.)]
-
- In the second place, the buds may be produced from the hydrocaulus,
- growing out laterally from it; the result is an arborescent, tree-like
- colony (figs. 12, 13). Budding from the hydrocaulus may be combined
- with budding from the hydrorhiza, so that numerous branching colonies
- arise from a common basal stolon. In the formation of arborescent
- colonies, two sharply distinct types of budding are found, which are
- best described in botanical terminology as the monopodial or racemose,
- and the sympodial or cymose types respectively; each is characteristic
- of one of the two sub-orders of the Hydroidea, the Gymnoblastea and
- Calyptoblastea.
-
- In the monopodial method (figs. 12, 14) the founder-polyp is,
- theoretically, of unlimited growth in a vertical direction, and as it
- grows up it throws out buds right and left alternately, so that the
- first bud produced by it is the lowest down, the second bud is above
- the first, the third above this again, and so on. Each bud produced by
- the founder proceeds to grow and to bud in the same way as the founder
- did, producing a side branch of the main stem. Hence, in a colony of
- gymnoblastic hydroids, the oldest polyp of each system, that is to
- say, of the main stem or of a branch, is the topmost polyp; the
- youngest polyp of the system is the one nearest to the topmost polyp;
- and the axis of the system is a true axis.
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 13.--Portion of colony of _Bougainvillea
- fruticosa_ (_Anthomedusae-Gymnoblastea_) more magnified. (From
- Lubbock, after Allman.)]
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 14.--Diagrams of the monopodial method of budding,
- shown in five stages (1-5). F, the founder-polyp; 1, 2, 3, 4, the
- succession of polyps budded from the founder-polyp; a', b', c', the
- succession of polyps budded from 1; a^2, b^2, polyps budded from 2;
- a^3, polyp budded from 3.]
-
- In the sympodial method of budding, on the other hand, the
- founder-polyp is of limited growth, and forms a bud from its side,
- which is also of limited growth, and forms a bud in its turn, and so
- on (figs. 15, 16). Hence, in a colony of calyptoblastic hydroids, the
- oldest polyp of a system is the lowest; the youngest polyp is the
- topmost one; and the axis of the system is a false axis composed of
- portions of each of the consecutive polyps. In this method of budding
- there are two types. In one, the biserial type (fig. 15), the polyps
- produce buds right and left alternately, so that the hydranths are
- arranged in a zigzag fashion, forming a "scorpioid cyme," as in
- _Obelia_ and _Sertularia_. In the other, the uniserial type (fig. 16),
- the buds are formed always on the same side, forming a "helicoid
- cyme," as in _Hydrallmania_, according to H. Driesch, in which,
- however, the primitively uniserial arrangement becomes masked later by
- secondary torsions of the hydranths.
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 15.--Diagram of sympodial budding, biserial type,
- shown in five stages (1-5). F, founder-polyp; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
- succession of polyps budded from the founder; a, b, c, second series

-
- [Illustration: FIG. 16.--Diagram of sympodial budding, uniserial type,
- shown in four stages (1-4). F, founder-polyp; 1, 2, 3, succession of
- polyps budded from the founder.]
-
- In a colony formed by sympodial budding, a polyp always produces first
- a bud, which contributes to the system to which it belongs, i.e.
- continues the stem or branch of which its parent forms a part. The
- polyp may then form a second bud, which becomes the starting point of
- a new system, the beginning, that is, of a new branch; and even a
- third bud, starting yet another system, may be produced from the same
- polyp. Hence the colonies of Calyptoblastea may be complexly branched,
- and the budding may be biserial throughout, uniserial throughout, or
- partly one, partly the other. Thus in _Plumularidae_ (figs. 17, 18)
- there is formed a main stem by biserial budding; each polyp on the
- main stem forms a second bud, which usually forms a side branch or
- _pinnule_ by uniserial budding. In this way are formed the familiar
- feathery colonies of _Plumularia_, in which the pinnules are all in
- one plane, while in the allied _Antennularia_ the pinnules are
- arranged in whorls round the main biserial stem. The pinnules never
- branch again, since in the uniserial mode of budding a polyp never
- forms a second polyp-bud. On the other hand, a polyp on the main stem
- may form a second bud which, instead of forming a pinnule by uniserial
- budding, produces by biserial budding a branch, from which pinnules
- arise as from the main stem (fig. 18--3, 6). Or a polyp on the main
- stem, after having budded a second time to form a pinnule, may give
- rise to a third bud, which starts a new biserial system, from which
- uniserial pinnules arise as from the main stem--type of _Aglaophenia_
- (fig. 19). The laws of budding in hydroids have been worked out in an
- interesting manner by H. Driesch [13], to whose memoirs the reader
- must be referred for further details.

- biserial budding from founder; a-e, pinnule formed by uniserial

- a^2-d^2 from 2, and so forth.]
-
- _Individualization of Polyp-Colonies._--As in other cases where animal
- colonies are formed by organic union of separate individuals, there is
- ever a tendency for the polyp-colony as a whole to act as a single
- individual, and for the members to become subordinated to the needs of
- the colony and to undergo specialization for particular functions,
- with the result that they simulate organs and their individuality
- becomes masked to a greater or less degree. Perhaps the earliest of
- such specializations is connected with the reproductive function.
- Whereas primitively any polyp in a colony may produce medusa-buds, in
- many hydroid colonies medusae are budded only by certain polyps termed
- _blastostyles_ (fig. 10, b). At first not differing in any way from
- other polyps (fig. 5), the blastostyles gradually lose their nutritive
- function and the organs connected with it; the mouth and tentacles
- disappear, and the blastostyle obtains the nutriment necessary for its
- activity by way of the coenosarc. In the Calyptoblastea, where the
- polyps are protected by special capsules of the perisarc, the
- _gonothecae_ enclosing the blastostyles differ from the hydrothecae
- protecting the hydranths (fig. 54).
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 18.--Diagram showing method of branching in the
- _Plumularia_-type; compare with fig. 17. Polyps 3 and 6, instead of
- producing uniserial pinnules, have produced biserial branches (3^1,
- 3^2, 3^3, 3^4; 6^1-6^3), which give off uniserial branches in their
- turn.]
-
- In other colonies the two functions of the nutritive polyp, namely,
- capture and digestion of food, may be shared between different polyps
- (fig. 10). One class of polyps, the _dactylozoids_ (dz), lose their
- mouth and stomach, and become elongated and tentacle-like, showing
- great activity of movement. Another class, the _gastrozoids_ (gz),
- have the tentacles reduced or absent, but have the mouth and stomach
- enlarged. The dactylozoids capture food, and pass it on to the
- gastrozoids, which swallow and digest it.
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 19.--Diagram showing method of branching in the
- _Aglaophenia_-type. Polyp 7 has produced as its first bud, 8; as its
- second bud, a^7, which starts a uniserial pinnule; and as a third bud
- I^7, which starts a biserial branch (II^7-VI^7) that repeats the
- structure of the main stem and gives off pinnules. The main stem is
- indicated by-.-.-., the new stem by .......]
-
- Besides the three types of individual above mentioned, there are other
- appendages of hydroid colonies, of which the individuality is
- doubtful. Such are the "guard-polyps" (machopolyps) of _Plumularidae_,
- which are often regarded as individuals of the nature of dactylozoids,
- but from a study of the mode of budding in this hydroid family Driesch
- concluded that the guard-polyps were not true polyp-individuals,
- although each is enclosed in a small protecting cup of the perisarc,
- known as a nematophore. Again, the spines arising from the basal crust
- of _Podocoryne_ have been interpreted by some authors as reduced
- polyps.
-
- 3. _The Medusa._--In the Hydromedusae the medusa-individual occurs, as
- already stated, in one of two conditions, either as an independent
- organism leading a true life in the open seas, or as a subordinate
- individuality in the hydroid colony, from which it is never set free;
- it then becomes a mere reproductive appendage or _gonophore_, losing
- successively its organs of sense, locomotion and nutrition, until its
- medusoid nature and organization become scarcely recognizable. Hence
- it is convenient to consider the morphology of the medusa from these
- two aspects.
-
- (a) _The Medusa as an Independent Organism._--The general structure
- and characteristics of the medusa are described elsewhere (see
- articles HYDROZOA and MEDUSA), and it is only necessary here to deal
- with the peculiarities of the Hydromedusa.
-

- FIG. 21.--_Clavatella prolifera_, ambulatory medusa. t, tentacles; oc,
- ocelli.]
-
- As regards habit of life the vast majority of Hydromedusae are pelagic
- organisms, floating on the surface of the open sea, propelling
- themselves feebly by the pumping movements of the umbrella produced by
- contraction of the sub-umbral musculature, and capturing their prey
- with their tentacles. The genera _Cladonema_ (fig. 20) and
- _Clavatella_ (fig. 21), however, are ambulatory, creeping forms,
- living in rock-pools and walking, as it were, on the tips of the
- proximal branches of each of the tentacles, while the remaining
- branches serve for capture of food. _Cladonema_ still has the typical
- medusan structure, and is able to swim about, but in _Clavatella_ the
- umbrella is so much reduced, that swimming is no longer possible. The
- remarkable medusa _Mnestra parasites_ is ecto-parasitic throughout
- life on the pelagic mollusc _Phyllirrhoe_, attached to it by the
- sub-umbral surface, and its tentacles have become rudimentary or
- absent. It is interesting to note that _Mnestra_ has been shown by J.
- W. Fewkes [15] and R. T. Gunther [19] to belong to the same family
- (_Cladonemidae_) as _Cladonema_ and _Clavatella_, and it is reasonable
- to suppose that the non-parasitic ancestor of _Mnestra_ was, like the
- other two genera, an ambulatory medusa which acquired louse-like
- habits. In some species of the genus _Cunina_ (Narcomedusae) the
- youngest individuals (actinulae) are parasitic on other medusae (see
- below), but in later life the parasitic habit is abandoned. No other
- instances are known of sessile habit in Hydromedusae.
-
- [Illustration: After E. T. Browne, from _Proc. Zool. Soc. of London_.
-
- FIG. 22.--_Corymorpha nutans_, adult female Medusa. Magnified 10
- diameters.]
-
- The external form of the Hydromedusae varies from that of a deep bell
- or thimble, characteristic of the Anthomedusae, to the shallow
- saucer-like form characteristic of the Leptomedusae. It is usual for
- the umbrella to have an even, circular, uninterrupted margin; but in
- the order Narcomedusae secondary down-growths between the tentacles
- produce a lobed, indented margin to the umbrella. The marginal
- tentacles are rarely absent in non-parasitic forms, and are typically
- four in number, corresponding to the four perradii marked by the
- radial canals. Interradial tentacles may be also developed, so that
- the total number present may be increased to eight or to an
- indefinitely large number. In _Willia_, _Geryonia_, &c., however, the
- tentacles and radial canals are on the plan of six instead of four
- (figs. 11 and 26). On the other hand, in some cases the tentacles are
- less in number than the perradii; in _Corymorpha_ (figs. 3 and 22)
- there is but a single tentacle, while two are found in _Amphinema_ and
- _Gemmaria_ (Anthomedusae), and in _Solmundella bitentaculata_ (fig.
- 67) and _Aeginopsis hensenii_ (fig. 23) (Narcomedusae). The tentacles
- also vary considerably in other ways than in number: first, in form,
- being usually simple, with a basal bulb, but in _Cladonemidae_ they
- are branched, often in complicated fashion; secondly, in grouping,
- being usually given off singly, and at regular intervals from the
- margin of the umbrella, but in _Margelidae_ and in some Trachomedusae
- they are given off in tufts or bunches (fig. 24); thirdly, in position
- and origin, being usually implanted on the extreme edge of the
- umbrella, but in Narcomedusae they become secondarily shifted and are
- given off high up on the ex-umbrella (figs. 23 and 25); and, fourthly,
- in structure, being hollow or solid, as in the polyp. In some medusae,
- for instance, the remarkable deep-sea family _Pectyllidae_, the
- tentacles may bear suckers, by which the animal may attach itself
- temporarily. It should be mentioned finally that the tentacles are
- very contractile and extensible, and may therefore present themselves,
- in one and the same individual, as long, drawn-out threads, or in the
- form of short corkscrew-like ringlets; they may stream downwards from
- the sub-umbrella, or be held out horizontally, or be directed upwards
- over the ex-umbrella (fig. 23). Each species of medusa usually has a
- characteristic method of carrying its tentacles.

-
- The sub-umbrella invariably shows a velum as an inwardly projecting
- ridge or rim at its margin, within the circle of tentacles; hence the
- medusae of this sub-class are termed craspedote. The manubrium is
- absent altogether in the fresh-water medusa _Limnocnida_, in which the
- diameter of the mouth exceeds half that of the umbrella; on the other
- hand, the manubrium may attain a great length, owing to the centre of
- the sub-umbrella with the stomach being drawn into it, as it were, to
- form a long proboscis, as in _Geryonia_. The mouth may be a simple,
- circular pore at the extremity of the manubrium, or by folding of the
- edges it may become square or shaped like a Maltese cross, with four
- corners and four lips. The corners of the mouth may then be drawn out
- into lobes or lappets, which may have a branched or fringed outline
- (fig. 27), and in _Margelidae_ the subdivisions of the fringe simulate
- tentacles (fig. 24).
-
- [Illustration: After O. Maas, _Medusae_, in Prince of Monaco's series.
-
- FIG. 25.--_Aeginura grimaldii._]
-
- The internal anatomy of the Hydromedusae shows numerous variations.
- The stomach may be altogether lodged in the manubrium, from which the
- radial canals then take origin directly as in _Geryonia_
- (Trachomedusae); it may be with or without gastric pouches. The radial
- canals may be simple or branched, primarily four, rarely six in
- number. The ring-canal is drawn out in Narcomedusae into festoons
- corresponding with the lobes of the margin, and may be obliterated
- altogether (_Solmaris_). In this order the radial canals are
- represented only by wide gastric pouches, and in the family Solmaridae
- are suppressed altogether, so that the tentacles and the festoons of
- the ring-canal arise directly from the stomach. In _Geryonia_,
- centripetal canals, ending blindly, arise from the ring-canal and run
- in a radial direction towards the centre of the umbrella (fig. 26).
-
- _Histology of the Hydromedusa._--The histology described above for the
- polyp may be taken as the primitive type, from which that of the
- medusa differs only in greater elaboration and differentiation of the
- cell-elements, which are also more concentrated to form distinct
- tissues.

-
- The ectoderm furnishes the general epithelial covering of the body,
- and the muscular tissue, nervous system and sense-organs. The external
- epithelium is flat on the ex-umbral surface, more columnar on the
- sub-umbral surface, where it forms the muscular tissue of the
- sub-umbrella and the velum. The nematocysts of the ectoderm may be
- grouped to form batteries on the tentacles, umbrellar margin and oral
- lappets. In places the nematocysts may be crowded so thickly as to
- form a tough, supporting, "chondral" tissue, resembling cartilage,
- chiefly developed at the margin of the umbrella and forming streaks or
- bars supporting the tentacles ("Tentakelspangen," _peronia_) or the
- tentaculocysts ("Gehorspangen," _otoporpae_).
-

- Expedition_, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass., U.S.A.
-
- FIG. 27.--_Stomotoca divisa_, one of the _Tiaridae_ (Anthomedusae).]
-
- The muscular tissue of the Hydromedusae is entirely ectodermal. The
- muscle-fibres arise as processes from the bases of the epithelial
- cells; such cells may individually become sub-epithelial in position,
- as in the polyp; or, in places where muscular tissue is greatly
- developed, as in the velum or sub-umbrella, the entire muscular
- epithelium may be thrown into folds in order to increase its surface,
- so that a deeper sub-epithelial muscular layer becomes separated
- completely from a more superficial body-epithelium.
-
- In its arrangement the muscular tissue forms two systems: the one
- composed of striated fibres arranged circularly, that is to say,
- concentrically round the central axis of the umbrella; the other of
- non-striated fibres running longitudinally, that is to say, in a
- radial direction from, or (in the manubrium) parallel to, the same
- ideal axis. The circular system is developed continuously over the
- entire sub-umbral surface, and the velum represents a special local
- development of this system, at a region where it is able to act at the
- greatest mechanical advantage in producing the contractions of the
- umbrella by which the animal progresses. The longitudinal system is
- discontinuous, and is subdivided into proximal, medial and distal
- portions. The proximal portion forms the retractor muscles of the
- manubrium, or proboscis, well developed, for example, in _Geryonia_.
- The medial portion forms radiating tracts of fibres, the so-called
- "bell-muscles" running underneath, and parallel to, the radial canals;
- when greatly developed, as in _Tiaridae_, they form ridges, so-called
- mesenteries, projecting into the sub-umbral cavity. The distal
- portions form the muscles of the tentacles. In contrast with the
- polyp, the longitudinal muscle-system is entirely ectodermal, there
- being no endodermal muscles in craspedote medusae.
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 28.--Muscular Cells of Medusae (_Lizzia_). The
- uppermost is a purely muscular cell from the sub-umbrella; the two
- lower are epidermo-muscular cells from the base of a tentacle; the
- upstanding nucleated portion forms part of the epidermal mosaic on the
- free surface of the body. (After Hertwig.)]
-
- The nervous system of the medusa consists of sub-epithelial
- ganglion-cells, which form, in the first place, a diffuse plexus of
- nervous tissue, as in the polyp, but developed chiefly on the
- sub-umbral surface; and which are concentrated, in the second place,
- to form a definite central nervous system, never found in the polyp.
- In Hydromedusae the central nervous system forms two concentric
- nerve-rings at the margin of the umbrella, near the base of the velum.
- One, the "upper" or ex-umbral nerve-ring, is derived from the ectoderm
- on the ex-umbral side of the velum; it is the larger of the two rings,
- containing more numerous but smaller ganglion-cells, and innervates
- the tentacles. The other, the "lower" or sub-umbral nerve-ring, is
- derived from the ectoderm on the sub-umbral side of the velum; it
- contains fewer but larger ganglion-cells and innervates the muscles of
- the velum (see diagram in article MEDUSAE). The two nerve-rings are
- connected by fibres passing from one to the other.

-
- FIG. 29.--_Tiaropsis rosea_ (Ag. and Mayer) showing the eight adradial
- Statocysts, each close to an Ocellus. Cf. fig. 30.]
-
- The sensory cells are slender epithelial cells, often with a cilium or
- stiff protoplasmic process, and should perhaps be regarded as the only
- ectoderm-cells which retain the primitive ciliation of the larval
- ectoderm, otherwise lost in all Hydrozoa. The sense-cells form, in the
- first place, a diffuse system of scattered sensory cells, as in the
- polyp, developed chiefly on the manubrium, the tentacles and the
- margin of the umbrella, where they form a sensory ciliated epithelium
- covering the nerve-centres; in the second place, the sense-cells are
- concentrated to form definite sense-organs, situated always at the
- margin of the umbrella, hence often termed "marginal bodies." The
- possession of definite sense-organs at once distinguishes the medusa
- from the polyp, in which they are never found.
-
- The sense-organs of medusae are of two kinds--first, organs sensitive
- to light, usually termed _ocelli_ (fig. 29); secondly, organs commonly
- termed _otocysts_, on account of their resemblance to the auditory
- vesicles of higher animals, but serving for the sense of balance and
- orientation, and therefore given the special name of _statocysts_
- (fig. 30). The sense-organs may be _tentaculocysts_, i.e.
- modifications of a tentacle, as in Trachylinae, or developed from the
- margin of the umbrella, in no connexion with a tentacle (or, if so
- connected, not producing any modification in the tentacle), as in
- Leptolinae. In Hydromedusae the sense-organs are always exposed at the
- umbrellar margin (hence _Gymnophthalmata_), while in Scyphomedusae
- they are covered over by flaps of the umbrellar margin (hence
- _Steganophthalmata_).

-
- The _statocysts_ present in general the structure of either a knob or
- a closed vesicle, composed of (1) indifferent supporting epithelium:
- (2) sensory, so-called auditory epithelium of slender cells, each
- bearing at its free upper end a stiff bristle and running out at its
- base into a nerve-fibre; (3) concrement-cells, which produce
- intercellular concretions, so-called otoliths. By means of vibrations
- or shocks transmitted through the water, or by displacements in the
- balance or position of the animal, the otoliths are caused to impinge
- against the bristles of the sensory cells, now on one side, now on the
- other, causing shocks or stimuli which are transmitted by the basal
- nerve-fibre to the central nervous system. Two stages in the
- development of the otocyst can be recognized, the first that of an
- open pit on a freely-projecting knob, in which the otoliths are
- exposed, the second that of a closed vesicle, in which the otoliths
- are covered over. Further, two distinct types of otocyst can be
- recognized in the Hydromedusae: that of the Leptolinae, in which the
- entire organ is ectodermal, concrement-cells and all, and the organ is
- not a tentaculocyst; and that of the Trachylinae, in which the organ
- is a tentaculocyst, and the concrement-cells are endodermal, derived
- from the endoderm of the modified tentacle, while the rest of the
- organ is ectodermal.

-
- In the Leptolinae the otocysts are seen in their first stage in
- _Mitrocoma annae_ (fig. 31) and _Tiaropsis_ (figs. 29, 30) as an open
- pit at the base of the velum, on its sub-umbral side. The pit has its
- opening turned towards the sub-umbral cavity, while its base or fundus
- forms a bulge, more or less pronounced, on the ex-umbral side of the
- velum. At the _fundus_ are placed the concrement-cells with their
- conspicuous otoliths (_con_) and the inconspicuous auditory cells,
- which are connected with. the sub-umbral nerve-ring. From the open
- condition arises the closed condition very simply by closing up of the
- aperture of the pit. We then find the typical otocyst of the
- Leptomedusae, a vesicle bulging on the ex-umbral side of the velum
- (figs. 32, 33). The otocysts are placed on the outer wall of the
- vesicle (the fundus of the original pit) or on its sides; their
- arrangement and number vary greatly and furnish useful characters for
- distinguishing genera. The sense-cells are innervated, as before, from
- the sub-umbral nerve-ring. The inner wall of the vesicle (region of
- closure) is frequently thickened to form a so-called "sense-cushion,"
- apparently a ganglionic offshoot from the sub-umbral nerve-ring. In
- many Leptomedusae the otocysts are very small, inconspicuous and
- embedded completely in the tissues; hence they may be easily
- overlooked in badly-preserved material, and perhaps are present in
- many cases where they have been said to have been wanting.

-
- In the Trachylinae the simplest condition of the otocyst is a freely
- projecting club, a so-called _statorhabd_ (figs. 34, 35), representing
- a tentacle greatly reduced in size, covered with sensory ectodermal
- epithelium (_ect._), and containing an endodermal core (_end._), which
- is at first continuous with the endoderm of the ring-canal, but later
- becomes separated from it. In the endoderm large concretions are
- formed (_con._). Other sensory cells with long cilia cover a sort of
- cushion (_n.c._) at the base of the club; the club may be long and the
- cushion small, or the cushion large and the club small. The whole
- structure is innervated, like the tentacles, from the ex-umbral
- nerve-ring. An advance towards the second stage is seen in such a form
- as _Rhopalonema_ (fig. 36), where the ectoderm of the cushion rises up
- in a double fold to enclose the club in a protective covering forming
- a cup or vesicle, at first open distally; finally the opening closes
- and the closed vesicle may sink inwards and be found far removed from
- the surface, as in _Geryonia_ (fig. 37).
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 36.--Simple tentaculocyst of _Rhopalonema
- velatum_. The process carrying the otolith or concretion hk, formed by
- endoderm cells, is enclosed by an upgrowth forming the "vesicle,"
- which is not yet quite closed in at the top. (After Hertwig.)]
-
- The _ocelli_ are seen in their simplest form as a pigmented patch of
- ectoderm, which consists of two kinds of cells--(1) pigment-cells,
- which are ordinary indifferent cells of the epithelium containing
- pigment-granules, and (2) visual cells, slender sensory epithelial
- cells of the usual type, which may develop visual cones or rods at
- their free extremity. The ocelli occur usually either on the inner or
- outer sides of the tentacles; if on the inner side, the tentacle is
- turned upwards and carried over the ex-umbrella, so as to expose the
- ocellus to the light; if the ocellus be on the outer side of a
- tentacle, two nerves run round the base of the tentacle to it. In
- other cases ocelli may occur between tentacles, as in _Tiaropsis_
- (fig. 29).
-
- The simple form of ocellus described in the foregoing paragraph may
- become folded into a pit or cup, the interior of which becomes filled
- with a clear gelatinous secretion forming a sort of vitreous body. The
- distal portion of the vitreous body may project from the cavity of the
- cup, forming a non-cellular lens as in _Lizzia_ (fig. 28). Beyond this
- simple condition the visual organs of the Hydromedusae do not advance,
- and are far from reaching the wonderful development of the eyes of
- Scyphomedusae (_Charybdaea_).

-
- Besides the ordinary type of ocellus just described, there is found in
- one genus (_Tiaropsis_) a type of ocellus in which the visual elements
- are inverted, and have their cones turned away from the light, as in
- the human retina (fig. 30). In this case the pigment-cells are
- endodermal, forming a cup of pigment in which the visual cones are
- embedded. A similar ocellus is formed in _Aurelia_ among the
- Scyphomedusae (q.v.).
-
- Other sense organs of Hydromedusae are the so-called _sense-clubs_ or
- _cordyli_ found in a few Leptomedusae, especially in those genera in
- which otocysts are inconspicuous or absent (fig. 39). Each cordylus is
- a tentacle-like structure with an endodermal axis containing an axial
- cavity which may be continuous with the ring-canal, or may be
- partially occluded. Externally the cordylus is covered, by very
- flattened ectoderm, and bears no otoliths or sense-cells, but the base
- of the club rests upon the ex-umbral nerve-ring. Brooks regards these
- organs as sensory, serving for the sense of balance, and representing
- a primitive stage of the tentaculocysts of Trachylinae; Linko, on the
- other hand, finding no nerve-elements connected with them, regards
- them as digestive (?) in function.
-
- The sense-organs of the two fresh-water medusae _Limnocodium_ and
- _Limnocnida_ are peculiar and of rather doubtful nature (see E. T.
- Browne [10]).

-
- The endoderm of the medusa shows the same general types of structure
- as in the polyp, described above. We can distinguish (1) digestive
- endoderm, in the stomach, often with special glandular elements; (2)
- circulatory endoderm, in the radial and ring-canals; (3) supporting
- endoderm in the axes of the tentacles and in the endoderm-lamella; the
- latter is primitively a double layer of cells, produced by
- concrescence of the ex-umbral and sub-umbral layers of the
- coelenteron, but it is usually found as a single layer of flattened
- cells (fig. 40); in _Geryonia_, however, it remains double, and the
- centripetal canals arise by parting of the two layers; (4) excretory
- endoderm, lining pores at the margin of the umbrella, occurring in
- certain Leptomedusae as so-called "marginal tubercles," opening, on
- the one hand, into the ring-canal and, on the other hand, to the
- exterior by "marginal funnels," which debouch into the sub-umbral
- cavity above the velum. As has been described above, the endoderm may
- also contribute to the sense-organs, but such contributions are always
- of an accessory nature, for instance, concrement-cells in the
- otocysts, pigment in the ocelli, and never of sensory nature,
- sense-cells being in all cases ectodermal.
-
- The reproductive cells may be regarded as belonging primarily to
- neither ectoderm nor endoderm, though lodged in the ectoderm in all
- Hydromedusae. As described for the polyp, they are wandering cells
- capable of extensive migrations before reaching the particular spot at
- which they ripen. In the Hydromedusae they usually, if not invariably,
- ripen in the ectoderm, but in the neighbourhood of the main sources of
- nutriment, that is to say, not far from the stomach. Hence the gonads
- are found on the manubrium in Anthomedusae generally; on the base of
- the manubrium, or under the gastral pouches, or in both these
- situations (_Octorchidae_), or under the radial canals, in
- Trachomedusae; under the gastral pouches or radial canals, in
- Narcomedusae. When ripe, the germ-cells are dehisced directly to the
- exterior.

-
- Hydromedusae are of separate sexes, the only known exception being
- _Amphogona apsteini_, one of the Trachomedusae (Browne [9]). Moreover,
- all the medusae budded from a given hydroid colony are either male or
- female, so that even the non-sexual polyp must be considered to have a
- latent sex. (In _Hydra_, on the other hand, the individual is usually
- hermaphrodite.) The medusa always reproduces itself sexually, and in
- some cases non-sexually also. The non-sexual reproduction takes the
- form of fission, budding or sporogony, the details of which are
- described below. Buds may be produced from the manubrium, radial
- canals, ring-canal, or tentacle-bases, or from an aboral stolon
- (Narcomedusae). In all cases only medusa-buds are produced, never
- polyp-buds.
-
- The mesogloea of the medusa is largely developed and of great
- thickness in the umbrella. The sub-epithelial tissues, i.e. the
- nervous and muscular cells, are lodged in the mesogloea, but in
- Hydromedusae it never contains tissue-cells or mesogloeal corpuscles.
-
- (b) _The Medusae as a Subordinate Individuality._--It has been shown
- above that polyps are budded only from polyps and that the medusae may
- be budded either from polyps or from medusae. In any case the
- daughter-individuals produced from the buds may be imagined as
- remaining attached to the parent and forming a colony of individuals
- in organic connexion with one another, and thus three possible cases
- arise. The first case gives a colony entirely composed of polyps, as
- in many Hydroidea. The second case gives a colony partly composed of
- polyp-individuals, partly of medusa-individuals, a possibility also
- realized in many colonies of Hydroidea. The third case gives a colony
- entirely composed of medusa-individuals, a possibility perhaps
- realized in the Siphonophora, which will be discussed in dealing with
- this group.

-
- The first step towards the formation of a mixed hydroid colony is
- undoubtedly a hastening of the sexual maturity of the
- medusa-individual. Normally the medusae are liberated in quite an
- immature state; they swim away, feed, grow and become adult mature
- individuals. From the bionomical point of view, the medusa is to be
- considered as a means of spreading the species, supplementing the
- deficiencies of the sessile polyp. It may be, however, that increased
- reproductiveness becomes of greater importance to the species than
- wide diffusion; such a condition will be brought about if the medusae
- mature quickly and are either set free in a mature condition or remain
- in the shelter of the polyp-colony, protected from risks of a free
- life in the open sea. In this way the medusa sinks from an independent
- personality to an organ of the polyp-colony, becoming a so-called
- _medusoid gonophore_, or bearer of the reproductive organs, and losing
- gradually all organs necessary for an independent existence, namely
- those of sense, locomotion and nutrition.
-
- In some cases both free medusae and gonophores may be produced from
- the same hydroid colony. This is the case in _Syncoryne mirabilis_
- (Allman [1], p. 278) and in _Campanularia volubilis_; in the latter,
- free medusae are produced in summer, gonophores in winter (Duplessis
- [14]). Again in _Pennaria_, the male medusae are set free in a state
- of maturity, and have ocelli; the female medusae remain attached and
- have no sense organs.

-
- The gonophores of different hydroids differ greatly in structure from
- one another, and form a series showing degeneration of the
- medusa-individual, which is gradually stripped, as it were, of its
- characteristic features of medusan organization and finally reduced to
- the simplest structure. A very early stage in the degeneration is well
- exemplified by the so-called "meconidium" of _Gonothyraea_ (fig. 41,
- A). Here the medusoid, attached by the centre of its ex-umbral
- surface, has lost its velum and sub-umbral muscles, its sense organs
- and mouth, though still retaining rudimentary tentacles. The gonads
- (g) are produced on the manubrium, which has a hollow endodermal axis,
- termed the spadix (sp.), in open communication with the coenosarc of
- the polyp-colony and serving for the nutrition of the generative
- cells. A very similar condition is seen in _Tubularia_ (fig. 41, B),
- where, however, the tentacles have quite disappeared, and the circular
- rim formed by the margin of the umbrella has nearly closed over the
- manubrium leaving only a small aperture through which the embryos
- emerge. The next step is illustrated by the female gonophores of
- _Cladocoryne_, where the radial and ring-canals have become
- obliterated by coalescence of their walls, so that the entire endoderm
- of the umbrella is in the condition of the endoderm-lamella. Next the
- opening of the umbrella closes up completely and disappears, so that
- the sub-umbral cavity forms a closed space surrounding the manubrium,
- on which the gonads are developed; such a condition is seen in the
- male gonophore of _Cladocoryne_ and in _Garveia_ (fig. 41, C), where,
- however, there is a further complication in the form of an
- adventitious envelope or ectotheca (ect.) split off from the gonophore
- as a protective covering, and not present in _Cladocoryne_. The
- sub-umbral cavity (s.c.) functions as a brood-space for the developing
- embryos, which are set free by rupture of the wall. It is evident that
- the outer envelope of the gonophore represents the ex-umbral ectoderm
- (ex.), and that the inner ectoderm lining the cavity represents the
- sub-umbral ectoderm of the free medusa. The next step is the gradual
- obliteration of the sub-umbral cavity (s.c.) by disappearance of which
- the sub-umbral ectoderm comes into contact with the ectoderm of the
- manubrium. Such a type is found in _Plumularia_ and also in _Agalma_
- (fig. 41, D); centrally is seen the spadix (sp.), bearing the
- generative cells (g), and external to these (1) a layer of ectoderm
- representing the epithelium of the manubrium; (2) the layer of
- sub-umbral ectoderm; (3) the endoderm-lamella (e.l.); (4) the
- ex-umbral ectoderm (ex.); and (5) there may or may not be present also
- an ectotheca. Thus the gonads are covered over by at least four layers
- of epithelium, and since these are unnecessary, presenting merely
- obstacles to the dehiscence of the gonads, they gradually undergo
- reduction. The sub-umbral ectoderm and that covering the manubrium
- undergo concrescence to form a single layer (fig. 41, E), which
- finally disappears altogether, and the endoderm-lamella disappears.
- The gonophore is now reduced to its simplest condition, known as the
- _sporosac_ (fig. 41, F, G, H), and consists of the spadix bearing the
- gonads covered by a single layer of ectoderm (ex.), with or without
- the addition of an ectotheca. It cannot be too strongly emphasized,
- however, that the sporosac should not be compared simply with the
- manubrium of the medusa, as is sometimes done. The endodermal spadix
- (sp) of the sporosac represents the endoderm of the manubrium; the
- ectodermal lining of the sporosac (ex.) represents the ex-umbral
- ectoderm of the medusa; and the intervening layers, together with the
- sub-umbral cavity, have disappeared. The spadix, as the organ of
- nutrition for the gonads, may be developed in various ways, being
- simple (fig. 41, F) or branched (fig. 41, H); in _Eudendrium_ (fig.
- 41, G) it curls round the single large ovum.

-
- The hydroid _Dicoryne_ is remarkable for the possession of gonophores,
- which are ciliate and become detached and swim away by means of their
- cilia. Each such sporosac has two long tentacle-like processes thickly
- ciliated.
-
- It has been maintained that the gonads of _Hydra_ represent sporosacs
- or gonophores greatly reduced, with the last traces of medusoid
- structure completely obliterated. There is, however, no evidence
- whatever for this, the gonads of _Hydra_ being purely ectodermal
- structures, while all medusoid gonophores have an endodermal portion.
- _Hydra_ is, moreover, bisexual, in contrast with what is known of
- hydroid colonies.
-
- In some Leptomedusae the gonads are formed on the radial canals and
- form protruding masses resembling sporosacs superficially, but not in
- structure. Allman, however, regarded this type of gonad as equivalent
- to a sporosac, and considered the medusa bearing them as a non-sexual
- organism, a "blastocheme" as he termed it, producing by budding
- medusoid gonophores. As medusae are known to bud medusae from the
- radial canals there is nothing impossible in Allman's theory, but it
- cannot be said to have received satisfactory proof.
-
-
-_Reproduction and Ontogeny of the Hydromedusae._
-
-Nearly every possible method of reproduction occurs amongst the
-Hydromedusae. In classifying methods of generation it is usual to make
-use of the sexual or non-sexual nature of the reproduction as a primary
-difference, but a more scientific classification is afforded by the
-distinction between tissue-cells (histocytes) and germinal cells, actual
-or potential (archaeocytes), amongst the constituent cells of the animal
-body. In this way we may distinguish, first, _vegetative_ reproduction,
-the result of discontinuous growth of the tissues and cell-layers of the
-body as a whole, leading to (1) _fission_, (2) _autotomy_, or (3)
-_vegetative budding_; secondly, _germinal_ reproduction, the result of
-the reproductive activity of the archaeocytes or germinal tissue. In
-germinal reproduction the proliferating cells may be _undifferentiated_,
-so-called primitive germ-cells, or they may be _differentiated_ as
-sexual cells, male or female, i.e. spermatozoa and ova. If the
-germ-cells are _undifferentiated_, the offspring may arise from many
-cells or from a single cell; the first type is (4) _germinal budding_,
-the second is (5) _sporogony_. If the germ-cells are _differentiated_,
-the offspring arises by _syngamy_ or sexual union of the ordinary type
-between an ovum and spermatozoon, so-called fertilization, of the ovum,
-or by _parthenogenesis_, i.e. development of an ovum without
-fertilization. The only one of these possible modes of reproduction not
-known to occur in Hydromedusae is parthenogenesis.
-
-(1) True _fission_ or longitudinal division of an individual into two
-equal and similar daughter-individuals is not common but occurs in
-_Gastroblasta_, where it has been described in detail by Arnold Lang
-[30].
-
-(2) _Autotomy_, sometimes termed transverse fission, is the name given
-to a process of unequal fission in which a portion of the body separates
-off with subsequent regeneration. In _Tubularia_ by a process of
-decapitation the hydranths may separate off and give rise to a separate
-individual, while the remainder of the body grows a new hydranth.
-Similarly in _Schizocladium_ portions of the hydrocaulus are cut off to
-form so-called "spores," which grow into new individuals (see Allman
-[1]).

-
-(3) _Vegetative budding_ is almost universal in the Hydromedusae. By
-budding is understood the formation of a new individual from a fresh
-growth of undifferentiated material. It is convenient to distinguish
-buds that give rise to polyps from those that form medusae.
-
- (a) _The Polyp._--The buds that form polyps are very simple in mode of
- formation. Four stages may be distinguished; the first is a simple
- outgrowth of both layers, ectoderm and endoderm, containing a
- prolongation of the coelenteric cavity; in the second stage the
- tentacles grow out as secondary diverticula from the side of the first
- outgrowth; in the third stage the mouth is formed as a perforation of
- the two layers; and, lastly, if the bud is to be separated, it becomes
- nipped off from the parent polyp and begins a free existence.
-
- (b) _The Medusae._--Two types of budding must be distinguished--the
- direct, so-called, palingenetic type, and the _indirect_, so-called
- coenogenetic type.
-
- The direct type of budding is rare, but is seen in _Cunina_ and
- _Millepora_. In _Cunina_ there arises, first, a simple outgrowth of
- both layers, as in a polyp-bud (fig. 43, A); in this the mouth is
- formed distally as a perforation (B); next the sides of the tube so
- formed bulge out laterally near the attachment to form the umbrella,
- while the distal undilated portion of the tube represents the
- manubrium (C); the umbrella now grows out into a number of lobes or
- lappets, and the tentacles and tentaculocysts grow out, the former in
- a notch between two lappets, the latter on the apex of each lappet (D,
- E); finally, the velum arises as a growth of the ectoderm alone, the
- whole bud shapes itself, so to speak, and the little medusa is
- separated off by rupture of the thin stalk connecting it with the
- parent (F). The direct method of medusa-budding only differs from the
- polyp-bud by its greater complexity of parts and organs.

-
- The indirect mode of budding (figs. 44, 45) is the commonest method by
- which medusa-buds are formed. It is marked by the formation in the bud
- of a characteristic structure termed the _entocodon_ (_Knospenkern_,
- _Glockenkern_).
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 45.--Modifications of the method of budding shown
- in fig. 44, with solid Entocodon (Gc.) and formation of an ectotheca
- (ect.).]
-
- The first stage is a simple hollow outgrowth of both body-layers (fig.
- 44, A); at the tip of this is formed a thickening of the ectoderm,
- arising primitively as a hollow ingrowth (fig. 44, B), but more
- usually as a solid mass of ectoderm-cells (fig. 45, A). The ectodermal
- ingrowth is the entocodon (Gc.); it bulges into, and pushes down, the
- endoderm at the apex of the bud, and if solid it soon acquires a
- cavity (fig. 44, C, s.c.). The cavity of the entocodon increases
- continually in size, while the endoderm pushes up at the sides of it
- to form a cup with hollow walls, enclosing but not quite surrounding
- the entocodon, which remains in contact at its outer side with the
- ectoderm covering the bud (fig. 44, D, v). The next changes that take
- place are chiefly in the endoderm-cup (fig. 44, D, E); the cavity
- between the two walls of the cup becomes reduced by concrescence to
- form the radial canals (r.c.), ring-canal (c.c.), and endoderm-lamella
- (e.l., fig. 44, E), and at the same time the base of the cup is thrust
- upwards to form the manubrium (m), converting the cavity of the
- entocodon into a space which is crescentic or horse-shoe-like in
- section. Next tentacles (t, fig. 44, F) grow out from the ring-canal,
- and the double plate of ectoderm on the distal side of the entocodon
- becomes perforated, leaving a circular rim composed of two layers of
- ectoderm, the velum (v) of the medusa. Finally, a mouth is formed by
- breaking through at the apex of the manubrium, and the now
- fully-formed medusa becomes separated by rupture of the stalk of the
- bud and swims away.
-
- [Illustration: Fig. 46.--Diagrams to show the significance of the
- Entocodon in Medusa-buds. (Modified from a diagram given by A.
- Weismann.)

- umbrella hastened (IIIa, b).
- IV, a, b, c, budding with an entocodon (cf. fig. 44).
- V, Budding with a solid entocodon (cf. fig. 45).]
-
- If the bud, however, is destined to give rise not to a free medusa,
- but to a gonophore, the development is similar but becomes arrested at
- various points, according to the degree to which the gonophore is
- degenerate. The entocodon is usually formed, proving the medusoid
- nature of the bud, but in sporosacs the entocodon may be rudimentary
- or absent altogether. The process of budding as above described may be
- varied or complicated in various ways; thus a secondary, amnion-like,
- ectodermal covering or ectotheca (fig. 45, C, ect.) may be formed over
- all, as in _Garveia_, &c.; or the entocodon may remain solid and
- without cavity until after the formation of the manubrium, or may
- never acquire a cavity at all, as described above for the gonophores.
-
- _Phylogenetic Significance of the Entocodon._--It is seen from the
- foregoing account of medusa-budding that the entocodon is a very
- important constituent of the bud, furnishing some of the most
- essential portions of the medusa; its cavity becomes the sub-umbral
- cavity, and its lining furnishes the ectodermal epithelium of the
- manubrium and of the sub-umbral cavity as far as the edge of the
- velum. Hence the entocodon represents a precocious formation of the
- sub-umbral surface, equivalent to the peristome of the polyp,
- differentiated in the bud prior to other portions of the organism
- which must be regarded as antecedent to it in phylogeny.
-
- If the three principal organ-systems of the medusa, namely mouth,
- tentacles and umbrella, be considered in the light of phylogeny, it is
- evident that the manubrium bearing the mouth must be the oldest, as
- representing a common property of all the Coelentera, even of the
- gastrula embryo of all Enterozoa. Next in order come the tentacles,
- common to all Cnidaria. The special property of the medusa is the
- umbrella, distinguishing the medusa at once from other morphological
- types among the Coelentera. If, therefore, the formation of these
- three systems of organs took place according to a strictly
- phylogenetic sequence, we should expect them to appear in the order
- set forth above (fig. 46, Ia, b, c). The nearest approach to the
- phylogenetic sequence is seen in the budding of _Cunina_, where the
- manubrium and mouth appear first, but the umbrella is formed before
- the tentacles (fig. 46, IIa, b, c). In the indirect or coenogenetic
- method of budding, the first two members of the sequence exhibited by
- Cunina change places, and the umbrella is formed first, the manubrium
- next, and then the tentacles; the actual mouth-perforation being
- delayed to the very last (fig. 46, IVa, b, c). Hence the budding of
- medusae exemplifies very clearly a common phenomenon in development, a
- phylogenetic series of events completely dislocated in the ontogenetic
- time-sequence.
-
- The entocodon is to be regarded, therefore, not as primarily an
- ingrowth of ectoderm, but rather as an upgrowth of both body-layers,
- in the form of a circular rim (IVa), representing the umbrellar
- margin; it is comparable to the bulging that forms the umbrella in the
- direct method of budding, but takes place before a manubrium is
- formed, and is greatly reduced in size, so as to become a little pit.
- By a simple modification, the open pit becomes a solid ectodermal
- ingrowth, just as in Teleostean fishes the hollow medullary tube, or
- the auditory pit of other vertebrate embryos, is formed at first as a
- solid cord of cells, which acquires a cavity secondarily. Moreover,
- the entocodon, however developed, gives rise at first to a closed
- cavity, representing a closing over of the umbrella, temporary in the
- bud destined to be a free medusa, but usually permanent in the sessile
- gonophore. As has been shown above, the closing up of the sub-umbral
- cavity is one of the earliest degenerative changes in the evolution of
- the gonophore, and we may regard it as the umbrellar fold taking on a
- protective function, either temporarily for the bud or permanently for
- the gonophore.
-
- To sum up, the entocodon is a precocious formation of the umbrella,
- closing over to protect the organs in the umbrellar cavity. The
- possession of an entocodon proves the medusa-nature of the bud, and
- can only be explained on the theory that gonophores are degenerate
- medusae, and is inexplicable on the opposed view that medusae are
- derived from gonophores secondarily set free. In the sporosac,
- however, the medusa-individual has become so degenerate that even the
- documentary proof, so to speak, of its medusoid nature may have been
- destroyed, and only circumstantial evidence of its nature can be
- produced.
-
-4. _Germinal Budding._--This method of budding is commonly described as
-budding from a single body-layer, instead of from both layers. The layer
-that produces the bud is invariably the ectoderm, i.e. the layer in
-which, in Hydromedusae, the generative cells are lodged; and in some
-cases the buds are produced in the exact spot in which later the gonads
-appear. From these facts, and from those of the sporogony, to be
-described below, we may regard budding to this type as taking place from
-the germinal epithelium rather than from ordinary ectoderm.
-
- (a) _The Polyp._--Budding from the ectoderm alone has been described
- by A. Lang [29] in _Hydra_ and other polyps. The tissues of the bud
- become differentiated into ectoderm and endoderm, and the endoderm of
- the bud becomes secondarily continuous with that of the parent, but no
- part of the parental endoderm contributes to the building up of the
- daughter-polyp. Lang regarded this method of budding as universal in
- polyps, a notion disproved by O. Seeliger [52] who went to the
- opposite extreme and regarded the type of budding described by Lang as
- non-existent. In view, however, both of the statements and figures of
- Lang and of the facts to be described presently for medusae
- (_Margellium_), it is at least theoretically possible that both
- germinal and vegetative budding may occur in polyps as well as in
- medusae.
-
- (b) _The Medusa._--The clearest instance of germinal budding is
- furnished by _Margellium (Rathkea) octopunctatum_, one of the
- _Margelidae_. The budding of this medusa has been worked out in detail
- by Chun (HYDROZOA, [1]), to whom the reader must be referred for the
- interesting laws of budding regulating the sequence and order of
- formation of the buds.
-
- The buds of _Margellium_ are produced on the manubrium in each of the
- four interradii, and they arise from the ectoderm, that is to say, the
- germinal epithelium, which later gives rise to the gonads. The buds do
- not appear simultaneously but successively on each of the four sides
- of the manubrium, thus:
-
- 1
- 3 4
- 2
-
- and secondary buds may be produced on the medusa-buds before the
- latter are set free as medusae. Each bud arises as a thickening of the
- epithelium, which first forms two or three layers (fig. 47, A), and
- becomes separated into a superficial layer, future ectoderm,
- surrounding a central mass, future endoderm (fig. 47, B). The
- ectodermal epithelium on the distal side of the bud becomes thickened,
- grows inwards, and forms a typical entocodon (fig. 37, D, E, F). The
- remaining development of the bud is just as described above for the
- indirect method of medusa-budding (fig. 47, G, H). When the bud is
- nearly complete, the body-wall of the parent immediately below it
- becomes perforated, placing the coelenteric cavity of the parent in
- secondary communication with that of the bud (H), doubtless for the
- better nutrition of the latter.
-
- Especially noteworthy in the germinal budding of _Margellium_ is the
- formation of the entocodon, as in the vegetative budding of the
- indirect type.
-
-5. _Sporogony._--This method of reproduction has been described by E.
-Metchnikoff in _Cunina_ and allied genera. In individuals either of the
-male or female sex, germ-cells which are quite undifferentiated and
-neutral in character, become amoeboid, and wander into the endoderm.
-They divide each into two sister-cells, one of which--the spore--becomes
-enveloped by the other. The spore-cell multiplies by division, while the
-enveloping cell is nutrient and protective. The spore cell gives rise to
-a "spore-larva," which is set free in the coelenteron and grows into a
-medusa. Whether sporogony occurs also in the polyp or not remains to be
-proved.
-
-6. _Sexual Reproduction and Embryology._--The ovum of Hydromedusae is
-usually one of a large number of oogonia, and grows at the expense of
-its sister-cells. No regular follicle is formed, but the oocyte absorbs
-nutriment from the remaining oogonia. In _Hydra_ the oocyte is a large
-amoeboid cell, which sends out pseudopodia amongst the oogonia and
-absorbs nutriment from them. When the oocyte is full grown, the residual
-oogonia die off and disintegrate.

-
-The spermatogenesis and maturation and fertilization of the germ-cells
-present nothing out of the common and need not be described here. These
-processes have been studied in detail by A. Brauer [2] for _Hydra_.
-
- The general course of the development is described in the article
- HYDROZOA. We may distinguish the following series of stages: (1) ovum;
- (2) cleavage, leading to formation of a blastula; (3) formation of an
- inner mass or parenchyma, the future endoderm, by immigration or
- delamination, leading to the so-called parenchymula-stage; (4)
- formation of an archenteric cavity, the future coelenteron, by a
- splitting of the internal parenchyma, and of a blastopore, the future
- mouth, by perforation at one pole, leading to the gastrula-stage; (5)
- the outgrowth of tentacles round the mouth (blastopore), leading to
- the actinula-stage; and (6) the actinula becomes the polyp or medusa
- in the manner described elsewhere (see articles HYDROZOA, POLYP and
- MEDUSA). This is the full, ideal development, which is always
- contracted or shortened to a greater or less extent. If the embryo is
- set free as a free-swimming, so-called planula-larva, in the blastula,
- parenchymula, or gastrula stage, then a free actinula stage is not
- found; if, on the other hand, a free actinula occurs, then there is no
- free planula stage.
-
- The cleavage of the ovum follows two types, both seen in _Tubularia_
- (Brauer [3]). In the first, a cleavage follows each nuclear division;
- in the second, the nuclei multiply by division a number of times, and
- then the ovum divides into as many blastomeres as there are nuclei
- present. The result of cleavage in all cases is a typical blastula,
- which when set free becomes oval and develops a flagellum to each
- cell, but when not set free, it remains spherical in form and has no
- flagella.
-
- The germ-layer formation is always by immigration or delamination,
- never by invagination. When the blastula is oval and free-swimming the
- inner mass is formed by unipolar immigration from the hinder pole.
- When the blastula is spherical and not set free, the germ-layer
- formation is always multipolar, either by immigration or by
- delamination, i.e. by tangential division of the cells of the
- blastoderm, as in _Geryonia_, or by a mixture of immigration and
- delamination, as in _Hydra_, _Tubularia_, &c. The blastopore is formed
- as a secondary perforation at one spot, in free-swimming forms at the
- hinder pole. Formation of archenteron and blastopore may, however, be
- deferred till a later stage (actinula or after).
-
- The actinula stage is usually suppressed or not set free, but it is
- seen in _Tubularia_ (fig. 48), where it is ambulatory, in _Gonionemus_
- (Trachomedusae), and in _Cunina_ (Narcomedusae), where it is
- parasitic.

- FIG. 48.--Free Actinula of _Tubularia_.]
-
- In Leptolinae the embryonic development culminates in a polyp, which
- is usually formed by fixation of a planula (parenchymula), rarely by
- fixation of an actinula. The planula may fix itself (1) by one end,
- and then becomes the hydrocaulus and hydranth, while the hydrorhiza
- grows out from the base; or (2) partly by one side and then gives rise
- to the hydrorhiza as well as to the other parts of the polyp; or (3)
- entirely by its side, and then forms a recumbent hydrorhiza from which
- a polyp appears to be budded as an upgrowth.
-
- In Trachylinae the development produces always a medusa, and there is
- no polyp-stage. The medusa arises direct from the actinula-stage and
- there is no entocodon formed, as in the budding described above.
-
- _Life-cycles of the Hydromedusae._--The life-cycle of the Leptolinae
- consists of an alternation of generations in which non-sexual
- individuals, polyps, produce by budding sexual individuals, medusae,
- which give rise by the sexual process to the non-sexual polyps again,
- so completing the cycle. Hence the alternation is of the type termed
- metagenesis. The Leptolinae are chiefly forms belonging to the inshore
- fauna. The Trachylinae, on the other hand, are above all oceanic
- forms, and have no polyp-stage, and hence there is typically no
- alternation in their life-cycle. It is commonly assumed that the
- Trachylinae are forms which have lost the alternation of generations
- possessed by them ancestrally, through secondary simplification of the
- life-cycle. Hence the Trachylinae are termed "hypogenetic" medusae to
- contrast them with the metagenetic Leptolinae. The whole question has,
- however, been argued at length by W. K. Brooks [4], who adduces strong
- evidence for a contrary view, that is to say, for regarding the direct
- type of development seen in Trachylinae as more primitive, and the
- metagenesis seen in Leptolinae as a secondary complication introduced
- into the life-cycle by the acquisition of _larval budding_. The polyp
- is regarded, on this view, as a form phylogenetically older than the
- medusa, in short, as nothing more than a sessile actinula. In
- Trachylinae the polyp-stage is passed over, and is represented only by
- the actinula as a transitory embryonic stage. In Leptolinae the
- actinula becomes the sessile polyp which has acquired the power of
- budding and producing individuals either of its own or of a higher
- rank; it represents a persistent larval stage and remains in a
- sexually immature condition as a neutral individual, sex being an
- attribute only of the final stage in the development, namely the
- medusa. The polyp of the Leptolinae has reached the limit of its
- individual development and is incapable of becoming itself a medusa,
- but only produces medusa-buds; hence a true alternation of generations
- is produced. In Trachylinae also the beginnings of a similar
- metagenesis can be found. Thus in _Cunina octonaria_, the ovum
- develops into an actinula which buds daughter-actinulae; all of them,
- both parent and offspring, develop into medusae, so that there is no
- alternation of generations, but only larval multiplication. In _Cunina
- parasitica_, however, the ovum develops into an actinula, which buds
- actinulae as before, but only the daughter-actinulae develop into
- medusae, while the original, parent-actinula dies off; here,
- therefore, larval budding has led to a true alternation of
- generations. In _Gonionemus_ the actinula becomes fixed and
- polyp-like, and reproduces by budding, so that here also an
- alternation of generations may occur. In the Leptolinae we must first
- substitute polyp for actinula, and then a condition is found which can
- be compared to the case of _Cunina parasitica_ or Gonionemus, if we
- suppose that neither the parent-actinula (i.e. founder-polyp) nor its
- offspring by budding (polyps of the colony) have the power of becoming
- medusae, but only of producing medusae by budding. For further
- arguments and illustrations the reader must be referred to Brooks's
- most interesting memoir. The whole theory is one most intimately
- connected with the question of the relation between polyp and medusa,
- to be discussed presently. It will be seen elsewhere, however, that
- whatever view may be held as to the origin of metagenesis in
- Hydromedusae, in the case of Scyphomedusae (q.v.) no other view is
- possible than that the alternation of generations is the direct result
- of larval proliferation.
-
- To complete our survey of life-cycles in the Hydromedusae it is
- necessary to add a few words about the position of _Hydra_ and its
- allies. If we accept the view that _Hydra_ is a true sexual polyp, and
- that its gonads are not gonophores (i.e. medusa-buds) in the extreme
- of degeneration, then it follows from Brooks's theory that _Hydra_
- must be descended from an archaic form in which the medusan type of
- organization had not yet been evolved. _Hydra_ must, in short, be a
- living representative of the ancestor of which the actinula-stage is a
- transient reminiscence in the development of higher forms. It may be
- pointed out in this connexion that the fixation of _Hydra_ is only
- temporary, and that the animal is able at all times to detach itself,
- to move to a new situation, and to fix itself again. There is no
- difficulty whatever in regarding _Hydra_ as bearing the same relation
- to the actinula-stage of other Hydromedusae that a Rotifer bears to a
- trochophore-larva or a fish to a tadpole.
-
-_The Relation of Polyp and Medusa._--Many views have been put forward as
-to the morphological relationship between the two types of person in the
-Hydromedusae. For the most part, polyp and medusa have been regarded as
-modifications of a common type, a view supported by the existence, among
-Scyphomedusae (q.v.), of sessile polyp-like medusae (_Lucernaria_, &c.).
-R. Leuckart in 1848 compared medusae in general terms to flattened
-polyps. G. J. Allman [1] put forward a more detailed view, which was as
-follows. In some polyps the tentacles are webbed at the base, and it was
-supposed that a medusa was a polyp of this kind set free, the umbrella
-being a greatly developed web or membrane extending between the
-tentacles. A very different theory was enunciated by E. Metchnikoff. In
-some hydroids the founder-polyp, developed from a planula after
-fixation, throws out numerous outgrowths from the base to form the
-hydrorhiza; these outgrowths may be radially arranged so as to form by
-contact or coalescence a flat plate. Mechnikov considered the plate thus
-formed at the base of the polyp as equivalent to the umbrella, and the
-body of the polyp as equivalent to the manubrium, of the medusa; on this
-view the marginal tentacles almost invariably present in medusae are new
-formations, and the tentacles of the polyp are represented in the medusa
-by the oral arms which may occur round the mouth, and which sometimes,
-e.g. in _Margelidae_, have the appearance and structure of tentacles.
-Apart from the weighty arguments which the development furnishes against
-the theories of Allman and Mechnikov, it may be pointed out that neither
-hypothesis gives a satisfactory explanation of a structure universally
-present in medusae of whatever class, namely the endoderm-lamella,
-discovered by the brothers O. and R. Hertwig. It would be necessary to
-regard this structure as a secondary extension of the endoderm in the
-tentacle-web, on Allman's theory, or between the outgrowths of the
-hydrorhiza, on Mechnikov's hypothesis. The development, on the contrary,
-shows unequivocally that the endoderm-lamella arises as a local
-coalescence of the endodermal linings of a primitively extensive gastral
-space.
-
-The question is one intimately connected with the view taken as to the
-nature and individuality of polyp, medusa and gonophore respectively. On
-this point the following theories have been put forward.
-
- 1. The theory that the medusa is simply an organ, which has become
- detached and has acquired a certain degree of independence, like the
- well-known instance of the hectocotyle of the cuttle-fish. On this
- view, put forward by E. van Beneden and T. H. Huxley, the sporosac is
- the starting-point of an evolution leading up through the various
- types of gonophores to the free medusa as the culminating point of a
- phyletic series. The evidence against this view may be classed under
- two heads: first, comparative evidence; hydroids very different in
- their structural characters and widely separate in the systematic
- classification of these organisms may produce medusae very similar, at
- least so far as the essential features of medusan organization are
- concerned; on the other hydroids closely allied, perhaps almost
- indistinguishable, may produce gonophores in the one case, medusae in
- the other; for example, _Hydractinia_ (gonophores) and _Podocoryne_
- (medusae), _Tubularia_ (gonophores) and _Ectopleura_ (medusae),
- _Coryne_ (gonophores) and _Syncoryne_ (medusae), and so on. If it is
- assumed that all these genera bore gonophores ancestrally, then medusa
- of similar type must have been evolved quite independently in a great
- number of cases. Secondly, there is the evidence from the development,
- namely, the presence of the entocodon in the medusa-bud, a structure
- which, as explained above, can only be accounted for satisfactorily by
- derivation from a medusan type of organization. Hence it may be
- concluded that the gonophores are degenerate medusae, and not that the
- medusae are highly elaborated gonophores, as the organ-theory
- requires.
-
- 2. The theory that the medusa is an independent individual, fully
- equivalent to the polyp in this respect, is now universally accepted
- as being supported by all the facts of comparative morphology and
- development. The question still remains open, however, which of the
- two types of person may be regarded as the most primitive, the most
- ancient in the race-history of the Hydromedusae. F. M. Balfour put
- forward the view that the polyp was the more primitive type, and that
- the medusa is a special modification of the polyp for reproductive
- purposes, the result of division of labour in a polyp-colony, whereby
- special reproductive persons become detached and acquire organs of
- locomotion for spreading the species. W. K. Brooks, on the other hand,
- as stated above, regards the medusa as the older type and looks upon
- both polyp and medusa, in the Hydromedusae, as derived from a
- free-swimming or floating actinula, the polyp being thus merely a
- fixed nutritive stage, possessing secondarily acquired powers of
- multiplication by budding.
-
- The Hertwigs when they discovered the endoderm-lamella showed on
- morphological grounds that polyp and medusa are independent types,
- each produced by modification in different directions of a more
- primitive type represented in development by the actinula-stage. If a
- polyp, such as _Hydra_, be regarded simply as a sessile actinula, we
- must certainly consider the polyp to be the older type, and it may be
- pointed out that in the Anthozoa only polyp-individuals occur. This
- must not be taken to mean, however, that the medusa is derived from a
- sessile polyp; it must be regarded as a direct modification of the
- more ancient free actinula form, without primitively any intervening
- polyp-stage, such as has been introduced secondarily into the
- development of the Leptolinae and represents a revival, so to speak,
- of an ancestral form or larval stage, which has taken on a special
- role in the economy of the species.

-
-SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE HYDROMEDUSAE
-
-ORDER I. Eleutheroblastea.--Simple polyps which become sexually mature
-and which also reproduce non-sexually, but without any medusoid stage in
-the life-cycle.
-
-The sub-order includes the family _Hydridae_, containing the common
-fresh-water polyps of the genus _Hydra_. Certain other forms of doubtful
-affinities have also been referred provisionally to this section.
-
- _Hydra._--This genus comprises fresh-water polyps of simple structure.
- The body bears tentacles, but shows no division into hydrorhiza,
- hydrocaulus or hydranth; it is temporarily fixed and has no perisarc.
- The polyp is usually hermaphrodite, developing both ovaries and testes
- in the same individual. There is no free-swimming planula larva, but
- the stage corresponding to it is passed over in an enveloping cyst,
- which is secreted round the embryo by its own ectodermal layer,
- shortly after the germ-layer formation is complete, i.e. in the
- parenchymula-stage. The envelope is double, consisting of an external
- chitinous stratified shell, and an internal thin elastic membrane.
- Protected by the double envelope, the embryo is set free as a
- so-called "egg," and in Europe it passes the winter in this condition.
- In the spring the embryo bursts its shell and is set free as a minute
- actinula which becomes a _Hydra_.
-
- Many species are known, of which three are common in European waters.
- It has been shown by C. F. Jickeli (28) that the species are
- distinguishable by the characters of their nematocysts. They also show
- characteristic differences in the egg (Brauer [2]). In _Hydra viridis_
- the polyp is of a green colour and produces a spherical egg with a
- smooth shell which is dropped into the mud. _H. grisea_ is greyish in
- tint and produces a spherical egg with a spiky shell, which also is
- dropped into the mud. _H. fusca_ (= _H. vulgaris_) is brown in colour,
- and produces a bun-shaped egg, spiky on the convex surface, and
- attached to a water-weed or some object by its flattened side. Brauer
- found a fourth species, similar in appearance to _H. fusca_, but
- differing from the three other species in being of separate sexes, and
- in producing a spherical egg with a knobby shell, which is attached
- like that of _H. fusca_.
-
- The fact already noted that the species of _Hydra_ can be
- distinguished by the characters of their nematocysts is a point of
- great interest. In each species, two or three kinds of nematocysts
- occur, some large, some small, and for specific identification the
- nematocysts must be studied collectively in each species. It is very
- remarkable that this method of characterizing and diagnozing species
- has never been extended to the marine hydroids. It is quite possible
- that the characters of the nematocysts might afford data as useful to
- the systematist in this group as do the spicules of sponges, for
- instance. It would be particularly interesting to ascertain how the
- nematocysts of a polyp are related to those possessed by the medusa
- budded from it, and it is possible that in this manner obscure
- questions of relationship might be cleared up.
-
- _Protohydra_ is a marine genus characterized by the absence of
- tentacles, by a great similarity to _Hydra_ in histological structure,
- and by reproduction by transverse fission. It was found originally in
- an oyster-farm at Ostend. The sexual reproduction is unknown. For
- further information see C. Chun (HYDROZOA [1]. Pl. I.).

-
- _Polypodium hydriforme_ Ussow is a fresh-water form parasitic on the
- eggs of the sterlet. A "stolon" of unknown origin produces thirty-two
- buds, which become as many _Polypodia_; each has twenty-four tentacles
- and divides by fission repeated twice into four individuals, each with
- six tentacles. The daughter-individuals grow, form the full number of
- twenty-four tentacles and divide again. The polyps are free and walk
- on their tentacles. See Ussow [54].
-
- _Tetraplatia volitans_ Viguier is a remarkable floating marine form.
- See C. Viguier [56] and Delage and Herouard (Hydrozoa [2]).
-
- _Haleremita_ Schaudinn. See F. Schaudinn [50] and Delage and Herouard
- (HYDROZOA [2]).
-
- In all the above-mentioned genera, with the exception of _Hydra_, the
- life-cycle is so imperfectly known that their true position cannot be
- determined in the present state of our knowledge. They may prove
- eventually to belong to other orders. Hence only the genus _Hydra_ can
- be considered as truly representing the order Eleutheroblastea. The
- phylogenetic position of this genus has been discussed above.
-
-ORDER II. Hydroidea seu Leptolinae.--Hydromedusae with alternation of
-generations (metagenesis) in which a non-sexual polyp-generation
-(trophosome) produces by budding a sexual medusa-generation (gonosome).
-The polyp may be solitary, but more usually produces polyps by budding
-and forms a polyp-colony. The polyp usually has the body distinctly
-divisible into hydranth, hydrocaulus and hydrorhiza, and is usually
-clothed in a perisarc. The medusae may be set free or may remain
-attached to the polyp-colony and degenerate into a gonophore. When fully
-developed the medusa is characterized by the sense organs being composed
-entirely of ectoderm, developed independently of the tentacles, and
-innervated from the sub-umbral nerve-ring.
-
- The two kinds of persons present in the typical Hydroidea make the
- classification of the group extremely difficult, for reasons explained
- above. Hence the systematic arrangement that follows must be
- considered purely provisional. A natural classification of the
- Hydroidea has yet to be put forward. Many genera and families are
- separated by purely artificial characters, mere shelf-and-bottle
- groupings devised, for the convenience of the museum curator and the
- collector. Thus many subdivisions are diagnosed by setting free
- medusae in one case, or producing gonophores in another, although it
- is very obvious, as pointed out above, that a genus producing medusae
- may be far more closely allied to one producing gonophores than to
- another producing medusae, or vice versa, and that in some cases the
- production of medusae or gonophores varies with the season or the sex.
- Moreover, P. Hallez [22] has recently shown that hydroids hitherto
- regarded as distinct species are only forms of the same species grown
- under different conditions.
-
-SUB-ORDER 1. HYDROIDEA GYMNOBLASTEA (ANTHOMEDUSAE).--Trophosome without
-hydrothecae or gonothecae, with monopodial type of budding. Gonosome
-with free medusae or gonophores; medusae usually with ocelli, never with
-otocysts. The gymnoblastic polyp usually has a distinct perisarc
-investing the hydrorhiza and the hydrocaulus, sometimes also the
-hydranth as far as the bases of the tentacles (_Bimeria_); but in such
-cases the perisarc forms a closely-fitting investment or cuticule on the
-hydranth, never a hydrotheca standing off from it, as in the next
-sub-order. The polyps may be solitary, or form colonies, which may be of
-the spreading or encrusting type, or arborescent, and then always of
-monopodial growth and budding. In some cases, any polyp of the colony
-may bud medusae; in other cases, only certain polyps, the blastostyles,
-have this power. When blastostyles are present, however, they are never
-enclosed in special gonothecae as in the next sub-order. In this
-sub-order the characters of the hydranth are very variable, probably
-owing to the fact that it is exposed and not protected by a hydrotheca,
-as in Calyptoblastea.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 50.--_Sarsia (Dipurena) gemnifera._ b, The long
-manubrium, bearing medusiform buds; a, mouth.]
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 51.--_Sarsia prolifera._ Ocelli are seen at the base
-of the tentacles, and also (as an exception) groups of medusiform buds.]
-
- Speaking generally, three principal types of hydranth can be
- distinguished, each with subordinate varieties of form.
-
- 1. Club-shaped hydranths with numerous tentacles, generally scattered
- irregularly, sometimes with a spiral arrangement, or in whorls
- ("verticillate").
-
- (a) Tentacles filiform; type of _Clava_ (fig. 5), _Cordylophora_,
- &c.
-
- (b) Tentacles capitate, simple; type of _Coryne_ and _Syncoryne_;
- _Myriothela_ is an aberrant form with some of the tentacles modified
- as "claspers" to hold the ova.
-
- (c) Tentacles capitate, branched, wholly or in part; type of
- _Cladocoryne_.
-
- (d) Tentacles filiform or capitate, tending to be arranged in
- definite whorls; type of _Stauridium_ (fig. 2), _Cladonema_ and
- _Pennaria_.
-
- 2. Hydranth more shortened, daisy-like in form, with two whorls of
- tentacles, oral and aboral.
-
- (a) Tentacles filiform, simple, radially arranged or scattered
- irregularly; type of _Tubularia_ (fig. 4), _Corymorpha_ (fig. 3),
- _Nemopsis_, _Pelagohydra_, &c.
-
- (b) Tentacles with a bilateral arrangement, branched tentacles in
- addition to simple filiform ones; type of _Branchiocerianthus_.
-
- 3. Hydranth with a single circlet of tentacles.
-
- (a) With filiform tentacles; the commonest type, seen in
- _Bougainvillea_ (fig. 13), _Eudendrium_, &c.
-
- (b) With capitate tentacles; type of _Clavatella_.
-
- 4. Hydranth with tentacles reduced below four; type of _Lar_ (fig.
- 11), _Monobrachium_, &c.
-
-The _Anthomedusa_ in form is generally deep, bell-shaped. The sense
-organs are typically ocelli, never otocysts. The gonads are borne on the
-manubrium, either forming a continuous ring (Codonid type), or four
-masses or pairs of masses (Oceanid type). The tentacles may be scattered
-singly round the margin of the umbrella ("monerenematous") or arranged
-in tufts ("lophonematous"); in form they may be simple or branched
-(Cladonemid type); in structure they may be hollow ("coelomerinthous");
-or solid ("pycnomerinthous"). When sessile gonophores are produced, they
-may show all stages of degeneration.
-
- _Classification._--Until quite recently the hydroids (Gymnoblastea)
- and the medusae (Anthomedusae) have been classified separately, since
- the connexion between them was insufficiently known. Delage and
- Herouard (HYDROZOA [2]) were the first to make an heroic attempt to
- unite the two classifications into one, to which Hickson (HYDROZOA
- [4]) has made some additions and slight modifications. The
- classification given here is for the most part that of Delage and
- Herouard. It is certain, however, that no such classification can be
- considered final at present, but must undergo continual revision in
- the future. With this reservation we may recognize fifteen
- well-characterized families and others of more doubtful nature.
- Certain discrepancies must also be noted.
-
- 1. _Margelidae_ (= medusa-family _Margelidae_ + hydroid families
- _Bougainvillidae_, _Dicorynidae_, _Bimeridae_ and _Eudendridae_).
- Trophosome arborescent, with hydranths of _Bougainvillea_-type;

- _Cladocorynidae_ + medusan family _Sarsiidae_).--Trophosome polyps
- with capitate tentacles, simple or branched, scattered or
- verticillate; gonosome, free medusae or gonophores. _Coryne_, a common
- British hydroid, produces gonophores; _Syncoryne_, indistinguishable
- from it, produces medusae known as _Sarsia_ (fig. 51). _Cladocoryne_

- produced into four, six or more lobes, upon which the gonads are
- developed; the mouth with four lips or with a folded margin; the
- tentacles simple, arranged evenly round the margin of the umbrella.
- The remarkable hydroid _Lar_ (fig. 11) grows upon the tubes of the
- worm _Sabella_ and produces a medusa known as _Willia_. Another
- medusan genus is _Proboscidactyla_.
-
- 14. _Monobrachiidae._--The genus _Monobrachium_ is a colony-forming
- hydroid which grows upon the shells of bivalve molluscs, each polyp
- having but a single tentacle. It buds medusae, which, however, are as
- yet only known in an immature condition (C. Mereschkowsky [41]).
-
- 15. _Ceratellidae._--Trophosome polyps forming branching colonies of
- which the stem and main branches are thick and composed of a network
- of anastomosing coenosarcal tubes covered by a common ectoderm and
- supported by a thick chitinous perisarc; hydranths similar to those of
- _Coryne_; gonosome, sessile gonophores. _Ceratella_, an exotic genus
- from the coast of East Africa, New South Wales and Japan. The genera
- _Dehitella_ Gray and _Dendrocoryne_ Inaba should perhaps be referred
- to this family; the last-named is regarded by S. Goto [16] as the type
- of a distinct family, _Dendrocorynidae_.
-
- Doubtful families, or forms difficult to classify, are: Pteronemidae,
- Medusae of Cladonemid type, with hydroids for the most part unknown.
- The British genus _Gemmaria_, however, is budded from a hydroid
- referable to the family _Corynidae_. _Pteronema_ (fig. 53).
-
- _Nemopsidae_, for the floating polyp _Nemopsis_, very similar to
- _Tubularia_ in character; the medusa, on the other hand, is very
- similar to _Hippocrene_ (_Margelidae_). See C. Chun (HYDROZOA [1]).
-
- _Pelagohydridae_, for the floating polyp _Pelagohydra_, Dendy, from
- New Zealand. The animal is a solitary polyp bearing a great number of
- medusa-buds. The body, representing the hydranth of an ordinary
- hydroid, has the aboral portion modified into a float, from which
- hangs down a proboscis bearing the mouth. The float is covered with
- long tentacles and bears the medusa-buds. The proboscis bears at its
- extremity a circlet of smaller oral tentacles. Thus the affinities of
- the hydranth are clearly, as Dendy points out, with a form such as
- _Corymorpha_, which also is not fixed but only rooted in the mud. The
- medusae, on the other hand, have the tentacles in four tufts of (in
- the buds) five each, and thus resemble the medusae of the family
- _Margelidae_. See A. Dendy [12].

-
- _Perigonimus._--This common British hydroid belongs by its characters

- sufficient to indicate the tentative character of even the most modern
- classifications of this order.
-
-SUB-ORDER II. HYDROIDEA CALYPTOBLASTEA (LEPTOMEDUSAE).--Trophosome with
-polyps always differentiated into nutritive and reproductive individuals
-(blastostyles) enclosed in hydrothecae and gonothecae respectively; with
-sympodial type of budding. Gonosome with free medusae or gonophores; the
-medusae typically with otocysts, sometimes with cordyli or ocelli (figs.
-54, 55).

-
-The calyptoblastic polyp of the nutritive type is very uniform in
-character, its tendency to variation being limited, as it were, by the
-enclosing hydrotheca. The hydranth almost always has a single circlet of
-tentacles, like the _Bougainvillea_-type, in the preceding sub-order; an
-exception is the curious genus _Clathrozoon_, in which the hydranth has
-a single tentacle. The characteristic hydrotheca is formed by the bud at
-an early stage (fig. 56); when complete it is an open cup, in which the
-hydranth develops and can be protruded from the opening for the capture
-of food, or is withdrawn into it for protection. Solitary polyps are
-unknown in this sub-order; the colony may be creeping or arborescent in
-form; if the latter, the budding of the polyps, as already stated, is of
-the sympodial type, and either biserial, forming stems capable of
-further branching, or uniserial, forming pinnules not capable of further
-branching. In the biserial type the polyps on the two sides of the stem
-have primitively an alternating, zigzag arrangement; but, by a process
-of differential growth, quickened in the 1st, 3rd, 5th, &c., members of
-the stem, and retarded in the 2nd, 4th, 6th, &c., members, the polyps
-may assume secondarily positions opposite to one another on the two
-sides of the stem. Other variations in the mode of growth or budding
-bring about further differences in the building up of the colony, which
-are not in all cases properly understood and cannot be described in
-detail here. The stem may contain a single coenosarcal tube
-("monosiphonic") or several united in a common perisarc
-("polysiphonic"). An important variation is seen, in the form of the
-hydrotheca itself, which may come off from the main stem by a stalk, as
-in _Obelia_, or may be sessile, without a stalk, as in _Sertularia_.

-stomach; t, tentacles; m, mouth; mb, medusa-buds.]
-
-In many Calyptoblastea there occur also reduced defensive polyps or
-dactylozoids, which in this sub-order have received the special name of
-_sarcostyles_. Such are the "snake-like zoids" of _Ophiodes_ and other
-genera, and as such are generally interpreted the "machopolyps" of the
-_Plumularidea_. These organs are supported by cuplike structures of the
-perisarc, termed nematophores, regarded as modified hydrothecae
-supporting the specialized polyp-individuals. They are specially
-characteristic of the family _Plumularidae_.
-
-The medusa-buds, as already stated, are always produced from
-blastostyles, reduced non-nutritive polyps without mouth or tentacles.
-An apparent, but not real, exception is _Halecium halecinum_, in which
-the blastostyle is produced from the side of a nutritive polyp, and both
-are enclosed in a common theca without a partition between them (Allman
-[1] p. 50, fig. 24). The gonotheca is formed in its early stage in the
-same way as the hydrotheca, but the remains of the hydranth persists as
-an operculum closing the capsule, to be withdrawn when the medusae or
-genital products are set free (fig. 56).
-
- The blastostyles, gonophores and gonothecae furnish a series of
- variations which can best be considered as so many stages of
- evolution.
-
- Stage 1, seen in _Obelia_. Numerous medusae are budded successively
- within the gonotheca and set free; they swim off and mature in the
- open sea (Allman [1], p. 48, figs. 18, 19).
-
- Stage 2, seen in _Gonothyraea_. Medusae, so-called "meconidia," are
- budded but not liberated; each in turn, when it reaches sexual
- maturity, is protruded from the gonotheca by elongation of the stalk,
- and sets free the embryos, after which it withers and is replaced by
- another (Allman [1], p. 57, fig. 28).
-
- Stage 3, seen in _Sertularia_.--The gonophores are reduced in varying
- degree, it may be to sporosacs; they are budded successively from the
- blastostyle, and each in turn, when ripe, protrudes the spadix through
- the gonotheca (fig. 57, A, B). The spadix forms a gelatinous cyst, the
- so-called acrocyst (ac), external to the gonotheca (gth), enclosing
- and protecting the embryos. Then the spadix withers, leaving the
- embryos in the acrocyst, which may be further protected by a so-called
- marsupium, a structure formed by tentacle-like processes growing out
- from the blastostyle to enclose the acrocyst, each such process being
- covered by perisarc like a glove-finger secreted by it (fig. 57, C).
- (Allman [1], pp. 50, 51, figs. 21-24; Weismann [58], p. 170, pl. ix.,
- figs. 7, 8.)
-
- Stage 4, seen in _Plumularidae_.--The generative elements are produced
- in structures termed corbulae, formed by reduction and modification of
- branches of the colony. Each corbula contains a central row of
- blastostyles enclosed and protected by lateral rows of branches
- representing stunted buds (Allman [1], p. 66, fig. 30).
-

-
-Fig. 57.--Diagrams to show the mode of formation of an Acrocyst and a
-Marsupium. In A two medusa-buds are seen within the gonotheca (gth), the
-upper more advanced than the lower one. In B the spadix of the upper bud
-has protruded itself through the top of the gonotheca and the acrocyst
-(ac) is secreted round it. In C the marsupium (m) is formed as
-finger-like process from the summit of the blastostyle, enclosing the
-acrocyst; b, medusa-buds on the blastostyle.]
-
-The _Leptomedusa_ in form is generally shallow, more or less
-saucer-like, with velum less developed than in Anthomedusae (fig. 55).
-The characteristic sense-organs are ectodermal otocysts, absent,
-however, in some genera, in which case cordyli may replace them. When
-otocysts are present, they are at least eight in number, situated
-adradially, but are often very numerous. The cordyli are scattered on
-the ring-canal. Ocelli, if present, are borne on the tentacle-bulbs. The
-tentacles are usually hollow, rarely solid (_Obelia_). In number they
-are rarely less than four, but in _Dissonema_ there are only two.
-Primitively there are four perradial tentacles, to which may be added
-four interradial, or they may become very numerous and are then
-scattered evenly round the margin, never arranged in tufts or clusters.
-In addition to tentacles, there may be marginal cirri (_Laodice_) with a
-solid endodermal axis, spirally coiled, very contractile, and bearing a
-terminal battery of nematocysts. The gonads are developed typically
-beneath the radial canals or below the stomach or its pouches, often
-stretching as long bands on to the base of the manubrium. In
-_Octorchidae_ (fig. 58) each such band is interrupted, forming one mass
-at the base of the manubrium and another below the radial canal in each
-radius, in all eight separate gonad-masses, as the name implies. In some
-Leptomedusae excretory "marginal tubercles" are developed on the
-ring-canal.
-
- _Classification._---As in the Gymnoblastea, the difficulty of uniting
- the hydroid and medusan systems into one scheme of classification is
- very great in the present state of our knowledge. In a great many
- Leptomedusae the hydroid stage is as yet unknown, and it is by no
- means certain even that they possess one. It is quite possible that
- some of these medusae will be found to be truly hypogenetic, that is
- to say, with a life-cycle secondarily simplified by suppression of
- metagenesis. At present, ten recent and one extinct family of
- Calyptoblastea (Leptomedusae) may be recognized provisionally:
-
- 1. _Eucopidae_ (figs. 55, 59).--Trophosome with stalked hydrothecae;
- gonosome, free medusae with otocysts and four, rarely six or eight,
- unbranched radial canals. Two of the commonest British hydroids belong
- to this family, _Obelia_ and _Clytia_. _Obelia_ forms numerous
- polyserial stems of the characteristic zigzag pattern growing up from
- a creeping basal stolon, and buds the medusa of the same name. In
- _Clytia_ the polyps arise singly from the stolon, and the medusa is
- known as _Phialidium_ (fig. 59).
-
- 2. _Aequoridae._--Trophosome only known in one genus (_Polycanna_),
- and similar to the preceding; gonosome, free medusae with otocysts and
- with at least eight radial canals, often a hundred or more, simple or
- branched. _Aequorea_ is a common medusa.
-
- 3. _Thaumantidae._--Trophosome only known in one genus
- (_Thaumantias_), similar to that of the _Eucopidae_; gonosome, free
- medusae with otocysts inconspicuous or absent, with usually four,
- sometimes eight, rarely more than eight, radial canals, simple and
- unbranched, along which the gonads are developed, with numerous
- tentacles bearing ocelli and with marginal sense-clubs. _Laodice_ and
- _Thaumantias_ are representative genera.
-
- 4. _Berenicidae._--Trophosome unknown; gonosome, free medusae, with
- four or six radial canals, bearing the gonads, with numerous
- tentacles, between which occur sense-clubs, without otocysts.
- _Berenice_, _Staurodiscus_, &c.
-
- [Illustration: After Haeckel, _System der Medusen_, by permission of
- Gustav Fischer.
-
- FIG. 58.--_Octorchandra canariensis_, from life.]
-
- 5. _Polyorchidae._--Trophosome unknown; gonosome, free medusae of deep
- form, with radial canals branched in a feathery manner, and bearing
- gonads on the main canal, but not on the branches, with numerous
- hollow tentacles bearing ocelli, and without otocysts. _Polyorchis_,
- _Spirocodon_.
-
- 6. _Campanularidae.-_-Trophosome as in _Eucopidae_; gonosome, sessile
- gonophores. Many common or well-known genera belong here, such as
- _Halecium_, _Campanularia_, _Gonothyraea_, &c.
-
- 7. _Lafoeidae._--Trophosome as in the preceding; gonosome, free
- medusae or gonophores, the medusae with large open otocysts. The
- hydroid genus _Lafoea_ is remarkable for producing gonothecae on the
- hydrorhiza, each containing a blastostyle which bears a single
- gonophore; this portion of the colony was formerly regarded as an
- independent parasitic hydroid, and was named _Coppinia_. Medusan
- genera are _Mitrocoma_, _Halopsis_, _Tiaropsis_ (fig. 29, &c.).
-
- (So far as the characters of the trophosome are concerned, the seven
- preceding families are scarcely distinguishable, and they form a
- section apart, contrasting sharply with the families next to be
- mentioned, in none of which are free medusae liberated from the
- colony, so that only the characters of the trophosome need be
- considered.)

- a, The youngest stage, is magnified about 22 diam.; b, older, is
- magnified about 8 diam.; c, the adult medusa, is magnified.]
-
- 8. _Sertularidae._--Hydrothecae sessile, biserial, alternating or
- opposite on the stem. _Sertularia_ and _Sertularella_ are two very
- common genera of this family.
-
- 9. _Plumularidae._--Hydrothecae sessile, biserial on the main stem,
- uniserial on the lateral branches or pinnules, which give the colony
- its characteristic feathery form; with nematophores. A very abundant
- and prolific family; well-known British genera are _Plumularia_,
- _Antennularia_ and _Aglaophenia_.
-
- 10. _Hydroceratinidae_.--This family contains the single Australian
- species _Clathrozoon wilsoni_ Spencer, in which a massive hydrorhiza
- bears sessile hydrothecae, containing hydranths each with a single
- tentacle, and numerous nematophores. See W. B. Spencer [53].
-
- 11. _Dendrograptidae_, containing fossil (Silurian) genera, such as
- _Dendrograptus_ and _Thamnograptus_, of doubtful affinities.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 60.--Portion of the calcareous corallum of
-_Millepora nodosa_, showing the cyclical arrangement of the pores
-occupied by the "persons" or hydranths. About twice the natural size.
-(From Moseley.)]
-
-ORDER III. Hydrocorallinae.--Metagenetic colony-forming Hydromedusae, in
-which the polyp-colony forms a massive, calcareous _corallum_ into which
-the polyps can be retracted; polyp-individuals always of two kinds,
-gastrozoids and dactylozoids; gonosome either free medusae or sessile
-gonophores. The trophosome consists of a mass of coenosarcal tubes
-anastomosing in all planes. The interspaces between the tubes are filled
-up by a solid mass of lime, consisting chiefly of calcium carbonate,
-which replaces the chitinous perisarc of ordinary hydroids and forms a
-stony corallum or _coenosteum_ (fig. 60). The surface of the coenosteum
-is covered by a layer of common ectoderm, containing large nematocysts,
-and is perforated by pores of two kinds, gastropores and dactylopores,
-giving exit to gastrozoids and dactylozoids respectively, which are
-lodged in vertical pore-canals of wider calibre than the coenosarcal
-canals of the general network. The coenosteum increases in size by new
-growth at the surface; and in the deeper, older portions of massive
-forms the tissues die off after a certain time, only the superficial
-region retaining its vitality down to a certain depth. The living
-tissues at the surface are cut off from the underlying dead portions by
-horizontal partitions termed _tabulae_, which are formed successively as
-the coenosteum increases in age and size. If the coenosteum of
-_Millepora_ be broken across, each pore-canal (perhaps better termed a
-polyp-canal) is seen to be interrupted by a series of transverse
-partitions, representing successive periods of growth with separation
-from the underlying dead portions.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 61.--Enlarged view of the surface of a living
-_Millepora_, showing five dactylozooids surrounding a central
-gastrozooid. (From Moseley.)]
-
-Besides the wider vertical pore-canals and the narrower, irregular
-coenosarcal canals, the coenosteum may contain, in its superficial
-portion, chambers or _ampullae_, in which the reproductive zoids
-(medusae or gonophores) are budded from the coenosarc.
-
-The gastropores and dactylopores are arranged in various ways at the
-surface, a common pattern being the formation of a cyclosystem (fig.
-60), in which a central gastrozoid is surrounded by a ring of
-dactylozoids (fig. 61). In such a system the dactylopores may be
-confluent with the gastropore, so that the entire cyclosystem presents
-itself as a single aperture subdivided by radiating partitions, thus
-having a superficial resemblance to a madreporarian coral with its
-radiating septa (figs. 62 and 63).
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 62.--Diagrams illustrating the successive stages in
-the development of the cyclosystems of the _Stylasteridae_. (After

-
-The gastrozoids usually bear short capitate tentacles, four, six or
-twelve in number; but in _Astylus_ (fig. 63) they have no tentacles. The
-dactylozoids have no mouth; in _Milleporidae_ they have short capitate
-tentacles, but lack tentacles in _Stylasteridae_.
-
-The gonosome consists of free medusae in _Milleporidae_, which are
-budded from the apex of a dactylozoid in _Millepora murrayi_, but in
-other species from the coenosarcal canals. The medusae are produced by
-direct budding, without an entocodon in the bud. They are liberated in a
-mature condition, and probably live but a short time, merely sufficient
-to spread the species. The manubrium bearing the gonads is mouthless,
-and the umbrella is without tentacles, sense-organs, velum or radial
-canals. In the _Stylasteridae_ sessile gonophores are formed, always by
-budding from the coenosarc. In _Distichopora_ the gonophores have radial
-canals, but in other genera they are sporosacs with no trace of medusoid
-structure.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 63.--Portion of the corallum of _Astylus subviridis_
-(one of the Stylasteridae), showing cyclosystems placed at intervals on
-the branches, each with a central gastropore and zone of slit-like
-dactylopores. (After Moseley.)]
-
- _Classification._---Two families are known:--
-
- 1. _Milleporidae._--Coenosteum massive, irregular in form; pores
- scattered irregularly or in cyclosystems, without styles, with
- transverse tabulae; free medusae. A single genus, _Millepora_ (figs.
- 60, 61).
-
- 2. _Stylasteridae._--Coenosteum arborescent, sometimes fanlike, with
- pores only on one face, or on the lateral margins of the branches;
- gastropores with tabulae only in two genera, but with (except in
- _Astylus_) a _style_, i.e. a conical, thorn-like projection from the
- base of the pore, sometimes found also in dactylopores; sessile
- gonophores. _Sporadopora_ has the pores scattered irregularly.
- _Distichopora_ has the pores arranged in rows. _Stylaster_ has
- cyclosystems. In _Allopora_ the cyclostems resemble the calyces of
- Anthozoan corals. In _Cryptohelia_ the cyclosystem is covered by a cap
- or operculum. In _Astylus_ (fig. 63) styles are absent.
-
- _Affinities of the Hydrocorallinae._--There can be no doubt that the
- forms comprised in this order bear a close relationship to the
- Hydroidea, especially the sub-order Gymnoblastea, with which they
- should perhaps be classed in a natural classification. A
- hydrocoralline may be regarded as a form of hydroid colony in which
- the coenosarc forms a felt-work ramifying in all planes, and in which
- the chitinous perisarc is replaced by a massive calcareous skeleton.
- So far as the trophosome is concerned, the step from an encrusting
- hydroid such as _Hydractinia_ to the hydrocoralline _Millepora_ is not
- great.
-
- Hickson considers that the families _Milleporidae_ and _Stylasteridae_
- should stand quite apart from one another and should not be united in
- one order. The nearest approach to the _Stylasteridae_ is perhaps to
- be found in _Ceratella_, with its arborescent trophosome formed of
- anastomosing coenosarcal tubes supported by a thick perisarc and
- covered by a common ectoderm. _Ceratella_ stands in much the same
- relation to the _Stylasteridae_ that _Hydractinia_ does to the
- _Milleporidae_, in both cases the chitinous perisarc being replaced by
- the solid coenosteum to which the hydrocorallines owe the second half
- of their name.
-
-ORDER IV. Graptolitoidea (Rhabdophora, Allman).--This order has been
-constituted for a peculiar group of palaeozoic fossils, which have been
-interpreted as the remains of the skeletons of Hydrozoa of an extinct
-type.
-
-A typical graptolite consists of an axis bearing a series of tooth-like
-projections, like a saw. Each such projection is regarded as
-representing a cup or hydrotheca, similar to those borne by a
-calyptoblastic hydroid, such as _Sertularia_. The supposed hydrothecae
-may be present on one side of the axis only (monoprionid) or on both
-sides (diprionid); the first case may be conjectured to be the result of
-uniserial (helicoid) budding, the second to be produced by biserial
-(scorpioid) budding. In one division (_Retiolitidae_) the axis is
-reticulate. In addition to the stems bearing cups, there are found
-vesicles associated with them, which have been interpreted as gonothecae
-or as floats, that is to say, air-bladders, acting as hydrostatic organs
-for a floating polyp-colony.
-
-Since no graptolites are known living, or, indeed, since palaeozoic
-times, the interpretation of their structure and affinities must of
-necessity be extremely conjectural, and it is by no means certain that
-they are Hydrozoa at all. It can only be said that their organization,
-so far as the state of their preservation permits it to be ascertained,
-offers closer analogies with the Hydrozoa, especially the
-Calyptoblastea, than with any other existing group of the animal
-kingdom.
-
- See the treatise of Delage and Herouard (HYDROZOA, [4]), and the
- article GRAPTOLITES.
-
-ORDER V. Trachylinea.--Hydromedusae without alternation of generations,
-i.e. without a hydroid phase; the medusa develops directly from the
-actinula larva, which may, however, multiply by budding. Medusae with
-sense-organs represented by otocysts derived from modified tentacles
-(tentaculocysts), containing otoliths of endodermal origin, and
-innervated from the ex-umbral nerve-ring.
-
-This order, containing the typical oceanic medusae, is divided into two
-sub-orders.
-
-SUB-ORDER 1. TRACHOMEDUSAE.--Tentacles given off from the margin of the
-umbrella, which is entire, i.e. not lobed or indented; tentaculocysts
-usually enclosed in vesicles; gonads on the radial canals. The medusae
-of this order are characterized by the tough, rigid consistence of the
-umbrella, due partly to the dense nature of the mesogloea, partly to the
-presence of a marginal rim of chondral tissue, consisting of thickened
-ectoderm containing great numbers of nematocysts, and forming, as it
-were, a cushion-tyre supporting the edge of the umbrella. Prolongations
-from the rim of chondral tissue may form clasps or _peronia_ supporting
-the tentacles. The tentacles are primarily four in number, perradial,
-alternating with four interradial tentaculocysts, but both tentacles and
-sense-organs may be multiplied and the primary perradii may be six
-instead of four (fig. 26). The tentacles are always solid, containing an
-axis of endoderm-cells resembling notochordal tissue or
-plant-parenchyma, and are but moderately flexible. The sense-organs are
-tentaculocysts which are usually enclosed in vesicles and may be sunk
-far below the surface. The gonads are on the radial canals or on the
-stomach (_Ptychogastridae_), and each gonad may be divided into two by a
-longitudinal sub-umbral muscle-tract. The radial canals are four, six,
-eight or more, and in some genera blindly-ending centripetal canals are
-present (fig. 26). The stomach may be drawn out into the manubrium,
-forming a proboscis ("Magenstiel") of considerable length.
-
-The development of the Trachomedusae, so far as it is known, shows an
-actinula-stage which is either free (larval) or passed over in the egg
-(foetal) as in _Geryonia_; in no case does there appear to be a free
-planula-stage. The actinula, when free, may multiply by larval budding,
-but in all cases both the original actinula and all its descendants
-become converted into medusae, so that there is no alternation of
-generations. In _Gonionemus_ the actinula becomes attached and
-polyp-like and reproduces by budding.
-

-
-FIG. 64. _Olindias mulleri._]
-
- The Trachomedusae are divided into the following families:
-
- 1. _Petasidae_ (_Petachnidae_).--Four radial canals, four gonads;
- stomach not prolonged into the manubrium, which is relatively short;
- tentaculocysts free. _Petasus_ and other genera make up this family,
- founded by Haeckel, but no other naturalist has ever seen them, and it
- is probable that they are simply immature forms of other genera.
-
- 2. _Olindiadae_, with four radial canals and four gonads; manubrium
- short; ring-canals giving off blind centripetal canals; tentaculocysts
- enclosed. _Olindias mulleri_ (fig. 64) is a common Mediterranean
- species. Other genera are _Aglauropsis_, _Gossea_ and _Gonionemus_;
- the last named bears adhesive suckers on the tentacles. Some doubt
- attaches to the position of this family. It has been asserted that the
- tentaculocysts are entirely ectodermal and that either the family
- should be placed amongst the Leptomedusae, or should form, together
- with certain Leptomedusae, an entirely distinct order. In
- _Gonionemus_, however, the concrement-cells are endodermal.
-
- 3. _Trachynemidae._--Eight radial canals, eight gonads, stomach not
- prolonged into manubrium; tentaculocysts enclosed. _Rhopalonema_,
- _Trachynema_, &c.
-
- [Illustration: After E. T. Browne, _Proc. Zool. Soc. of London_.
-
- FIG. 65.--_Aglantha rosea_ (Forbes), a British medusa.]
-
- 4. _Ptychogastridae_ (_Pectyllidae_).--As in the preceding, but with
- suckers on the tentacles. _Ptychogastria_ Allman (=_Pectyllis_), a
- deep-sea form.
-
- 5. _Aglauridae._--Eight radial canals, two, four or eight gonads;
- tentacles numerous; tentaculocysts free; stomach prolonged into
- manubrium. _Aglaura_, _Aglantha_ (fig. 65), &c., with eight gonads;
- _Stauraglaura_ with four; _Persa_ with two. _Amphogona_,
- hermaphrodite, with male and female gonads on alternating radial
- canals.
-
- 6. _Geryonidae._--Four or six radial canals; gonads band-like; stomach
- prolonged into a manubrium of great length; tentaculocysts enclosed.
- _Liriope_, &c., with four radial canals; _Geryonia_, _Carmarina_ (fig.
- 26), &c., with six.
-
- 7. _Halicreidae._--Eight very broad radial canals; ex-umbrella often
- provided with lateral outgrowths; tentacles differing in size, but in
- a single row. _Halicreas_.
-
-SUB-ORDER 2. NARCOMEDUSAE.--Margin of the umbrella-lobed, tentacles
-arising from the ex-umbrella at some distance from the margin;
-tentaculocysts exposed, not enclosed in vesicles; gonads on the
-sub-umbral floor of the stomach or of the gastric pouches.

-
-The Narcomedusae exhibit peculiarities of form and structure which
-distinguish them at once from all other Hydromedusae. The umbrella is
-shallow and has the margin supported by a rim of thickened ectoderm, as
-in the Trachomedusae, but not so strongly developed. The tentacles are
-not inserted on the margin of the umbrella, but arise high up on the
-ex-umbral surface, and the umbrella is prolonged into lobes
-corresponding to the interspaces between the tentacles. The condition of
-things can be imagined by supposing that in a medusa primitively of
-normal build, with tentacles at the margin, the umbrella has grown down
-past the insertion of the tentacles. As a result of this extension of
-the umbrellar margin, all structures belonging to this region, namely,
-the ring-canal, the nerve-rings, and the rim of thickened ectoderm, do
-not run an even course, but are thrown into festoons, caught up under
-the insertion of each tentacle in such a way that the ring-canal and its
-accompaniments form in each notch of the umbrellar margin an inverted V,
-the apex of which corresponds to the insertion of the tentacle; in some
-cases the limbs of the V may run for some distance parallel to one
-another, and may be fused into one, giving a figure better compared to
-an inverted Y. Thus the ectodermal rim runs round the edge of each lobe
-of the umbrella and then passes upwards towards the base of the tentacle
-from the re-entering angle between two adjacent lobes, to form with its
-fellow of the next lobe a tentacle-clasp or _peronium_, i.e. a streak of
-thickened ectoderm supporting the tentacle. Similarly the ring-canal
-runs round the edge of the lobe as the so-called festoon-canal, and then
-runs upwards under the peronium to the base of the tentacle as one of a
-pair of peronial canals, the limbs of the V-like figure already
-mentioned. The nerve-rings have a similar course. The tentaculocysts are
-implanted round the margins of the lobes of the umbrella and may be
-supported by prolongations of the ectodermal rim termed _otoporpae_
-(_Gehorspangen_). The radial canals are represented by wide gastric
-pouches, and may be absent, so that the tentacles arise directly from
-the stomach (_Solmaridae_). The tentacles are always solid, as in
-Trachomedusae.
-
-The development of the Narcomedusae is in the main similar to that of
-the Trachomedusae, but shows some remarkable features. In _Aeginopsis_ a
-planula is formed by multipolar immigration. The two ends of the planula
-become greatly lengthened and give rise to the two primary tentacles of
-the actinula, of which the mouth arises from one side of the planula.
-Hence the principal axis of the future medusa corresponds, not to the
-longitudinal axis of the planula, but to a transverse axis. This is in
-some degree parallel to the cases described above, in which a planula
-gives rise to the hydrorhiza, and buds a polyp laterally.
-
-In _Cunina_ and allied genera the actinula, formed in the manner
-described, has a hypostome of great length, quite disproportionate to
-the size of the body, and is further endowed with the power of producing
-buds from a stolon arising from the aboral side of the body. In these
-species the actinula is parasitic upon another medusa; for instance,
-_Cunoctantha octonaria_ upon _Turritopsis_, _C. proboscidea_ upon
-_Liriope_ or _Geryonia_. The parasite effects a lodgment in the host
-either by invading it as a free-swimming planula, or, apparently, in
-other cases, as a spore-embryo which is captured and swallowed as food
-by the host. The parasitic actinula is found attached to the proboscis
-of the medusa; it thrusts its greatly elongated hypostome into the mouth
-of the medusa and nourishes itself upon the food in the digestive cavity
-of its host. At the same time it produces buds from an aboral stolon.
-The buds become medusae by the direct method of budding described above.
-In some cases the buds do not become detached at once, but the stolon
-continues to grow and to produce more buds, forming a "bud-spike"
-(_Knospenahre_), which consists of the axial stolon bearing medusa-buds
-in all stages of development. In such cases the original parent-actinula
-does not itself become a medusa, but remains arrested in development and
-ultimately dies off, so that a true alternation of generations is
-brought about. It is in these parasitic forms that we meet with the
-method of reproduction by sporogony described above.
-
-In other Narcomedusae, e.g. _Cunoctantha fowleri_ Browne, buds are
-formed from the sub-umbrella on the under side of the stomach pouches,
-where later the gonads are developed.
-
- _Classification._--Three families of Narcomedusae are recognized (see
- O. Maas [40]):
-
- [Illustration: After O. Maas, _Craspedoten Medusen der Siboga
- Expedition_, by permission of E. S. Brill & Co.
-
- FIG. 67.--_Solmundella bitentaculata_ (Quoy and Gaimard).]
-
- 1. _Cunanthidae._--With broad gastric pouches which are simple, i.e.
- undivided, and "pernemal," i.e. correspond in position with the
- tentacles. _Cunina_ (fig. 66) with more than eight tentacles;
- _Cunoctantha_ with eight tentacles, four perradial, four interradial.
-
- 2. _Aeginidae._--Radii a multiple of four, with radial gastric pouches
- bifurcated or subdivided; the tentacles are implanted in the notch
- between the two subdivisions of each (primary) gastric pouch, hence
- the (secondary) gastric pouches appear to be "internemal" in position,
- i.e. to alternate in position with the tentacles. _Aegina_, with four
- tentacles and eight pouches; _Aeginura_ (fig. 25), with eight
- tentacles and sixteen pouches; _Solmundella_ (fig. 67), with two
- tentacles and eight pouches; _Aeginopsis_ (fig. 23), with two or four
- tentacles and sixteen pouches.
-
- 3. _Solmaridae._--No gastric pouches; the numerous tentacles arise
- direct from the stomach, into which also the peronial canals open, so
- that the ring-canal is cut up into separate festoons. _Solmaris_,
- _Pegantha_, _Polyxenia_, &c. To this family should be referred,
- probably, the genus _Hydroctena_, described by C. Dawydov [11a] and
- regarded by him as intermediate between Hydromedusae and Ctenophora.
- See O. Maas [35].
-
- _Appendix to the Trachylinae._
-
- Of doubtful position, but commonly referred to the Trachylinae, are
- the two genera of fresh-water medusae, _Limnocodium_ and _Limnocnida_.
-
- _Limnocodium sowerbyi_ was first discovered in the _Victoria regia_
- tank in the Botanic Gardens, Regent's Park, London. Since then it has
- been discovered in other botanic gardens in various parts of Europe,
- its two most recent appearances being at Lyons (1901) and Munich
- (1905), occurring always in tanks in which the _Victoria regia_ is
- cultivated, a fact which indicates that tropical South America is its
- original habitat. In the same tanks a small hydroid, very similar to
- _Microhydra_, has been found, which bears medusa-buds and is probably
- the stock from which the medusa is budded. It is a remarkable fact
- that all specimens of _Limnocodium_ hitherto seen have been males; it
- may be inferred from this either that only one polyp-stock has been
- introduced into Europe, from which all the medusae seen hitherto have
- been budded, or perhaps that the female medusa is a sessile gonophore,
- as in _Pennaria_. The male gonads are carried on the radial canals.
-
- _Limnocnida tanganyicae_ was discovered first in Lake Tanganyika, but
- has since been discovered also in Lake Victoria and in the river
- Niger. It differs from _Limnocodium_ in having practically no
- manubrium but a wide mouth two-thirds the diameter of the umbrella
- across. It buds medusae from the margin of the mouth in May and June,
- and in August and September the gonads are formed in the place where
- the buds arose. The hydroid phase, if any, is not known.
-
- Both these medusae have sense-organs of a peculiar type, which are
- said to contain an endodermal axis like the sense-organs of
- Trachylinae, but the fact has recently been called in question for
- _Limnocodium_ by S. Goto, who considers the genus to be allied to
- _Olindias_. Allman, on the other hand, referred _Limnocodium_ to the
- Leptomedusae.
-
- In this connexion must be mentioned, finally, the medusae budded from
- the fresh-water polyp _Microhydra_. The polyp-stages of _Limnocodium_
- and _Microhydra_ are extremely similar in character. In both cases the
- hydranth is extremely reduced and has no tentacles, and the polyp
- forms a colony by budding from the base. In _Limnocodium_ the body
- secretes a gelatinous mucus to which adhere particles of mud, &c.,
- forming a protective covering. In _Microhydra_ no such protecting case
- is formed. In view of the great resemblance between _Microhydra_ and
- the polyp of _Limnocodium_, it might be expected that the medusae to
- which they give origin would also be similar. As yet, however, the
- medusa of _Microhydra_ has only been seen in an immature condition,
- but it shows some well-marked differences from _Limnocodium_,
- especially in the structure of the tentacles, which furnish useful
- characters for distinguishing species amongst medusae. The possession
- of a polyp-stage by _Limnocodium_ and _Microhydra_ furnishes an
- argument against placing them in the Trachylinae. Their sense-organs
- require renewed investigations. (Browne [10] and [10a].)
-
-ORDER VI. Siphonophora.--Pelagic floating Hydrozoa with great
-differentiation of parts, each performing a special function; generally
-regarded as colonies showing differentiation of individuals in
-correspondence with a physiological division of labour.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 68.--Diagram showing possible modifications of
-medusiform and hydriform persons of a colony of _Siphonophora_. The
-thick black line represents endoderm, the thinner line ectoderm. (After

- m, Stem.]
-
-A typical Siphonophore is a stock or _cormus_ consisting of a number of
-_appendages_ placed in organic connexion with one another by means of a
-_coenosarc_. The coenosarc does not differ in structure from that
-already described in colonial Hydrozoa. It consists of a hollow tube, or
-tubes, of which the wall is made up of the two body-layers, ectoderm and
-endoderm, and the cavity is a continuation of the digestive cavities of
-the nutritive and other appendages, i.e. of the coelenteron. The
-coenosarc may consist of a single elongated tube or stolon, forming the
-stem or axis of the cormus on which, usually, the appendages are
-arranged in groups termed cormidia; or it may take the form of a compact
-mass of ramifying, anastomosing tubes, in which case the cormus as a
-whole has a compact form and _cormidia_ are not distinguishable. In the
-Disconectae the coenosarc forms a spongy mass, the "_centradenia_,"
-which is partly hepatic in function, forming the so-called liver, and
-partly excretory.
-
-The appendages show various types of form and structure corresponding to
-different functions. The cormus is always differentiated into two parts;
-an upper portion termed the _nectosome_, in which the appendages are
-locomotor or hydrostatic in function, that is to say, serve for swimming
-or floating; and a lower portion termed the _siphosome_, bearing
-appendages which are nutritive, reproductive or simply protective in
-function.
-
-Divergent views have been held by different authors both as regards the
-nature of the cormus as a whole, and as regards the homologies of the
-different types of appendages borne by it.
-
- The general theories of Siphonophoran morphology are discussed below,
- but in enumerating the various types of appendages it is convenient to
- discuss their morphological interpretation at the same time.
-
- [Illustration: After A. Agassiz, from Lankester's _Treatise on
- Zoology_.
-
- FIG. 69.--_Porpita_, seen from above, showing the pneumatophore and
- expanded palpons.]
-
- In the nectosome one or more of the following types of appendage
- occur:--
-
- 1. Swimming-bells, termed _nectocalyces_ or _nectophores_ (fig. 68,
- k), absent in _Chondrophorida_ and _Cystophorida_; they are
- contractile and resemble, both in appearance, structure and function,
- the umbrella of a medusa, with radial canals, ring-canal and velum;
- but they are without manubrium, tentacles or sense-organs, and are
- always bilaterally symmetrical, a peculiarity of form related with the
- fact that they are attached on one side to the stem. A given cormus
- may bear one or several nectocalyces, and by their contractions they
- propel the colony slowly along, like so many medusae harnessed
- together. In cases where the cormus has no pneumatophore the topmost
- swimming bell may contain an oil-reservoir or _oleocyst_.
-
- 2. The pneumatophore or air-bladder (fig. 68, n), for passive
- locomotion, forming a float which keeps the cormus at or near the
- surface of the water. The pneumatophore arises from the ectoderm as a
- pit or invagination, part of which forms a gas-secreting gland, while
- the rest gives rise to an air-sack lined by a chitinous cuticle. The
- orifice of invagination forms a pore which may be closed up or may
- form a protruding duct or funnel. As in the analogous swim-bladder of
- fishes, the gas in the pneumatophore can be secreted or absorbed,
- whereby the specific gravity of the body can be diminished or
- increased, so as to cause it to float nearer the surface or at a
- deeper level. Never more than one pneumatophore is found in a cormus,
- and when present it is always situated at the highest point above the
- swimming bells, if these are present also. In _Velella_ the
- pneumatophore becomes of complex structure and sends air-tubes, lined
- by a chitin and resembling tracheae, down into the compact coenosarc,
- thus evidently serving a respiratory as well as a hydrostatic
- function.
-
- Divergent views have been held as to the morphological significance of
- the pneumatophore. E. Haeckel regarded the whole structure as a
- glandular ectodermal pit formed on the ex-umbral surface of a
- medusa-person. C. Chun and, more recently, R. Woltereck [59], on the
- other hand, have shown that the ectodermal pit which gives rise to the
- pneumatophore represents an entocodon. Hence the cavity of the
- air-sack is equivalent to a sub-umbral cavity in which no manubrium is
- formed, and the pore or orifice of invagination would represent the
- margin of the umbrella. In the wall of the sack is a double layer of
- endoderm, the space between which is a continuation of the
- coelenteron. By coalescence of the endoderm-layers, the coelenteron
- may be reduced to vessels, usually eight in number, opening into a
- ring-sinus surrounding the pore. Thus the disposition of the
- endoderm-cavities is roughly comparable to the gastrovascular system
- of a medusa.
-
- The difference between the theories of Haeckel and Chun is connected
- with a further divergence in the interpretation of the stem or axis of
- the cormus. Haeckel regards it as the equivalent of the manubrium, and
- as it is implanted on the blind end of the pneumatophore, such a view
- leads necessarily to the air-sack and gland being a development on the
- ex-umbral surface of the medusa-person. Chun and Woltereck, on the
- other hand, regard the stem as a _stolo prolifer_ arising from the
- aboral pole, that is to say, from the ex-umbrella, similar to that
- which grows out from the ex-umbral surface of the embryo of the
- Narcomedusae and produces buds, a view which is certainly supported by
- the embryological evidence to be adduced shortly.
-
- In the siphosome the following types of appendages occur:--
-
- 1. _Siphons_ or nutritive appendages, from which the order takes its
- name; never absent and usually present in great numbers (fig. 68, e).
- Each is a tube dilated at or towards the base and containing a mouth
- at its extremity, leading into a stomach placed in the dilatation
- already mentioned. The siphons have been compared to the manubrium of
- a medusa-individual, or to polyps, and hence are sometimes termed
- gastrozoids.
-
- 2. _Palpons_ (fig. 68, g), present in some genera, especially in
- Physonectae; similar to the siphons but without a mouth, and purely
- tactile in function, hence sometimes termed dactylozoids. If a distal
- pore or aperture is present, it is excretory in function; such
- varieties have been termed "cystons" by Haeckel.
-
- 3. _Tentacles_ ("_Fangfaden_"), always present, and implanted one at
- the base of each siphon (fig. 68, f). The tentacles of siphonophores
- may reach a great length and have a complex structure. They may bear
- accessory filaments or _tentilla_ (f'), covered thickly with batteries
- of nematocysts, to which these organisms owe their great powers of
- offence and defence.
-
- 4. _Palpacles_ ("_Tastfaden_"), occurring together with palpons, one
- implanted at the base of each palpon (fig. 68, h). Each palpacle is a
- tactile filament, very extensile, without accessory filaments or
- nematocysts.
-
- 5. _Bracts_ ("_hydrophyllia_"), occur in _Calycophorida_ and some
- _Physophorida_ as scale-like appendages protecting other parts (fig.
- 68, l). The mesogloea is greatly developed in them and they are often
- of very tough consistency. By Haeckel they are considered homologous
- with the umbrella of a medusa.

-
- 6. _Gonostyles_, appendages which produce by budding medusae or
- gonophores, like the blastostyles of a hydroid colony. In their most
- primitive form they are seen in _Velella_ as "gonosiphons," which
- possess mouths like the ordinary sterile siphons and bud free medusae.
- In other forms they have no mouths. They may be branched, so-called
- "gonodendra," and amongst them may occur special forms of palpons,
- "gonopalpons." The gonostyles have been compared to the blastostyles
- of a hydroid colony, or to the manubrium of a medusa which produces
- free or sessile medusa-buds.
-
- 7. _Gonophores_, produced either on the gonostyles already mentioned
- or budded, as in hydrocorallines, from the coenosarc, i.e. the stem
- (fig. 68, i.). They show every transition between free medusae and
- sporosacs, as already described, for hydroid colonies. Thus in
- _Velella_ free medusae are produced, which have been described as an
- independent genus of medusae, _Chrysomitra_. In other types the
- medusae may be set free in a mature condition as the so-called
- "genital swimming bells," comparable to the _Globiceps of Pennaria_.
- The most usual condition, however, is that in which sessile medusoid
- gonophores or sporosacs are produced.
-
- The various types of appendages described in the foregoing may be
- arranged in groups termed _cormidia_. In forms with a compact
- coenosarc such as _Velella_, _Physalia_, &c., the separate cormidia
- cannot be sharply distinguished, and such a condition is described
- technically as one with "scattered" cormidia. In forms in which, on
- the other hand, the coenosarc forms an elongated, tubular axis or
- stem, the appendages are arranged as regularly recurrent cormidia
- along it, and the cormidia are then said to be "ordinate." In such
- cases the oldest cormidia, that is to say, those furthest from the
- nectosome, may become detached (like the segments or proglottides of a
- tape-worm) and swim off, each such detached cormidium then becoming a
- small free cormus which, in many cases, has been given an independent
- generic name. A cormidium may contain a single nutritive siphon

- The following are some of the forms of cormidia that occur:--
-
- 1. The _eudoxome_ (Calycophorida), consisting of a bract, siphon,
- tentacle and gonophore; when free it is known as _Eudoxia_.
-
- 2. The _ersaeome_ (Calycophorida), made up of the same appendages as
- the preceding type but with the addition of a nectocalyx; when free
- termed _Ersaea_.
-
- 3. The _rhodalome_ of some _Rhodalidae_, consisting of siphon,
- tentacle and one or more gonophores.
-
- 4. The _athorome_ of _Physophora_, &c., consisting of siphon,
- tentacle, one or more palpons with palpacles, and one or more
- gonophores.
-
- 5. The _crystallome_ of _Anthemodes_, &c., similar to the athorome but
- with the addition of a group of bracts.

-
- _Embryology of the Siphonophora._--The fertilized ovum gives rise to a
- parenchymula, with solid endoderm, which is set free as a
- free-swimming planula larva, in the manner already described (see
- HYDROZOA). The planula has its two extremities dissimilar
- (Bipolaria-larva). The subsequent development is slightly different
- according as the future cormus is headed by a pneumatophore
- (Physophorida, Cystophorida) or by a nectocalyx (Calycophorida).
-
- (i.) Physophorida, for example _Halistemma_ (C. Chun, HYDROZOA [1]).
- The planula becomes elongated and broader towards one pole, at which a
- pit or invagination of the ectoderm arises. Next the pit closes up to
- form a vesicle with a pore, and so gives rise to the pneumatophore.
- From the broader portion of the planula an outgrowth arises which
- becomes the first tentacle of the cormus. The endoderm of the planula
- now acquires a cavity, and at the narrower pole a mouth is formed,
- giving rise to the primary siphon. Thus from the original planula
- three appendages are, as it were, budded off, while the planula itself
- mostly gives rise to coenosarc, just as in some hydroids the planula
- is converted chiefly into hydrorhiza.
-
- (ii.) Calycophorida, for example, _Muggiaea_. The planula develops, on
- the whole, in a similar manner, but the ectodermal invagination
- arises, not at the pole of the planula, but on the side of its broader
- portion, and gives rise, not to a pneumatophore, but to a nectocalyx,
- the primary swimming bell or _protocodon_ ("_Fallschirm_") which is
- later thrown off and replaced by secondary swimming bells,
- _metacodons_, budded from the coenosarc.
-
- From a comparison of the two embryological types there can be no doubt
- on two points; first, that the pneumatophore and the protocodon are
- strictly homologous, and, therefore if the nectocalyx is comparable to
- the umbrella of a medusa, as seems obvious, the pneumatophore must be
- so too; secondly, that the coenosarcal axis arises from the
- ex-umbrella of the medusa and cannot be compared to a manubrium, but
- is strictly comparable to the "bud-spike" of a Narcomedusan.
-
- _Theories of Siphonophore Morphology._--The many theories that have
- been put forward as to the interpretation of the cormus and the
- various parts are set forth and discussed in the treatise of Y. Delage
- and E. Herouard (HYDROZOA [4]) and more recently by R. Woltereck [59],
- and only a brief analysis can be given here.

-
- In the first place the cormus has been regarded as a single individual
- and its appendages as _organs_. This is the so-called "polyorgan"
- theory, especially connected with the name of Huxley; but it must be
- borne in mind that Huxley regarded all the forms produced, in any
- animal, between one egg-generation and the next, as constituting in
- the lump one single individual. Huxley, therefore, considered a
- hydroid colony, for example, as a single individual, and each separate
- polyp or medusa budded from it as having the value of an organ and not
- of an individual. Hence Huxley's view is not so different from those
- held by other authors as it seems to be at first sight.
-
- In more recent years Woltereck [59] has supported Huxley's view of
- individuality, at the same time drawing a fine distinction between
- "individual" and "person." The individual is the product of sexual
- reproduction; a person is an individual of lower rank, which may be
- produced asexually. A Siphonophore is regarded as a single individual
- composed of numerous zoids, budded from the primary zoid (siphon)
- produced from the planula. Any given zoid is a person-zoid if
- equivalent to the primary zoid, an organ-zoid if equivalent only to a
- part of it. Woltereck considers the siphonophores most nearly allied
- to the Narcomedusae, producing like the buds from an aboral stolon,
- the first bud being represented by the pneumatophore or protocodon, in
- different cases.
-
- Contrasting, in the second place, with the polyorgan theory are the
- various "polyperson" theories which interpret the Siphonophore cormus
- as a colony composed of more or fewer individuals in organic union
- with one another. On this interpretation there is still room for
- considerable divergence of opinion as regards detail. To begin with,
- it is not necessary on the polyperson theory to regard each appendage
- as a distinct individual; it is still possible to compare appendages
- with parts of an individual which have become separated from one
- another by a process of "dislocation of organs." Thus a bract may be
- regarded, with Haeckel, as a modified umbrella of a medusa, a siphon
- as its manubrium, and a tentacle as representing a medusan tentacle
- shifted in attachment from the margin to the sub-umbrella; or a siphon
- may be compared with a polyp, of which the single tentacle has become
- shifted so as to be attached to the coenosarc and so on. Some authors
- prefer, on the other hand, to regard every appendage as a separate
- individual, or at least as a portion of an individual, of which other
- portions have been lost or obliterated.
-
- A further divergence of opinion arises from differences in the
- interpretation of the persons composing the colony. It is possible to
- regard the cormus (1) as a colony of medusa-persons, (2) as a colony
- of polyp-persons, (3) as composed partly of one, partly of the other.
- It is sufficient here to mention briefly the views put forward on this
- point by C. Chun and R. Haeckel.
-
- Chun (HYDROZOA [1]) maintains the older views of Leuckart and Claus,
- according to which the cormus is to be compared to a floating hydroid
- colony. It may be regarded as derived from floating polyps similar to
- _Nemopsis_ or _Pelagohydra_, which by budding produce a colony of
- polyps and also form medusa-buds. The polyp-individuals form the
- nutritive siphosome or trophosome. The medusa-buds are either fertile
- or sterile. If fertile they become free medusae or sessile gonophores.
- If sterile they remain attached and locomotor in function, forming the
- nectosome, the pneumatophore and swimming-bells.
-
- Haeckel, on the other hand, is in accordance with Balfour in regarding
- a Siphonophore as a medusome, that is to say, as a colony composed of
- medusoid persons or organs entirely. Haeckel considers that the
- Siphonophores have two distinct ancestral lines of evolution:
-
- 1. In the _Disconanthae_, i.e. in such forms as _Velella_, _Porpita_,
- &c., the ancestor was an eight-rayed medusa (_Disconula_) which
- acquired a pneumatophore as an ectodermal pit on the ex-umbrella, and
- in which the organs (manubrium, tentacles, &c.) became secondarily
- multiplied, just as they do in _Gastroblasta_ as the result of
- incomplete fission. The nearest living allies of the ancestral
- _Disconula_ are to be sought in the _Pectyllidae_.
-

- lo, Orifice of the aurophore.

- t, Tentacle.]
-
- 2. In the _Siphonanthae_, i.e. in all other Siphonophores, the
- ancestral form was a _Siphonula_, a bilaterally symmetrical
- Anthomedusa with a single long tentacle (cf. _Corymorpha_), which
- became displaced from the margin to the sub-umbrella. The _Siphonula_
- produced buds on the manubrium, as many Anthomedusae are known to do,
- and these by reduction or dislocation of parts gave rise to the
- various appendages of the colony. Thus the umbrella of the _Siphonula_
- became the protocodon, and its manubrium, the axis or stolon, which,
- by a process of dislocation of organs, escaped, as it were, from the
- sub-umbrella through a cleft and became secondarily attached to the
- ex-umbrella. It must be pointed out that, however probable Haeckel's
- theory may be in other respects, there is not the slightest evidence
- for any such cleft in the umbrella having been present at any time,
- and that the embryological evidence, as already pointed out, is all
- against any homology between the stem and a manubrium, since the
- primary siphon does not become the stem, which arises from the
- ex-umbral side of the protocodon and is strictly comparable to a
- stolon.
-
-_Classification._--The Siphonophora may be divided, following Delage and
-Herouard, into four sub-orders:
-
-I. CHONDROPHORIDA (_Disconectae_ Haeckel, _Tracheophysae_ Chun). With an
-apical chambered pneumatophore, from which tracheal tubes may take
-origin (fig. 70); no nectocalyces or bracts; appendages all on the lower
-side of the pneumatophore arising from a compact coenosarc, and
-consisting of a central principal siphon, surrounded by gonosiphons, and
-these again by tentacles.
-
- Three families: (1) _Discalidae_, for _Discalia_ and allied genera,
- deep-sea forms not well known; (2) _Porpitidae_ for the familiar genus
- _Porpita_ (fig. 69) and its allies; and (3) _Velellidae_, represented
- by the well-known genus _Velella_ (figs. 70, 71), common in the
- Mediterranean and other seas.
-
-II. CALYCOPHORIDA (_Calyconectae_, Haeckel). Without pneumatophore, with
-one, two, rarely more nectocalyces.
-
- Three families: (1) _Monophyidae_, with a single nectocalyx; examples
- _Muggiaea_, sometimes found in British seas, _Sphaeronectes_, &c.; (2)
- _Diphyidae_, with two nectocalyces; examples _Diphyes_ (fig. 72),
- _Praya_, _Abyla_, &c.; and (3) _Polyphyidae_, with numerous
- nectocalyces; example _Hippopodius_, _Stephanophyes_ and other genera.
-

-Physalia; D, palpon; T, palpacle; G, siphon; GP, gonopalpon; M[male],
-male gonophore; M[female], female gonophore, ultimately set free.]
-
-III. PHYSOPHORIDA (_Physonectae_ + _Auronectae_, Haeckel). With an
-apical pneumatophore, not divided into chambers, followed by a series of
-nectocalyces or bracts.
-
- A great number of families and genera are referred to this group,
- amongst which may be mentioned specially--(1) _Agalmidae_, containing
- the genera _Stephanomia_, _Agalma_, _Anthemodes_, _Halistemma_, &c.;
- (2) _Apolemidae_, with the genus _Apolemia_ and its allies; (3)
- _Forskaliidae_, with _Forskalia_ and allied forms; (4)
- _Physophoridae_, for _Physophora_ (fig. 73) and other genera, (5)
- _Anthophysidae_, for _Anthophysa_, _Athorybia_, &c.; and lastly the
- two families (6) _Rhodalidae_ and (7) _Stephalidae_ (fig. 74),
- constituting the group Auronectae of Haeckel. The Auronectae are
- peculiar deep-sea forms, little known except from Haeckel's
- descriptions, in which the large pneumatophore has a peculiar duct,
- termed the aurophore, placed on its lower side in the midst of a
- circle of swimming-bells.
-
-IV. CYSTOPHORIDA (_Cystonectae_, Haeckel). With a very large
-pneumatophore not divided into chambers, but without nectocalyces or
-bracts. Two sections can be distinguished, the Rhizophysina, with long
-tubular coenosarc-bearing ordinate cormidia, and Physalina, with compact
-coenosarc-bearing scattered cormidia.
-
- A type of the Rhizophysina is the genus _Rhizophysa_. The Physalina
- comprise the families _Physalidae_ and _Epibulidae_, of which the
- types are _Physalia_ (figs. 74, 75) and _Epibulia_, respectively.
- _Physalia_, known commonly as the Portuguese man-of-war, is remarkable
- for its great size, its brilliant colours, and its terrible stinging
- powers.

-which are displaced by the same weight. In the latter case, the
-densities of the fluids will be inversely proportional to the volumes
-thus displaced.
-
-The hydrometer is said by Synesius Cyreneus in his fifth letter to have
-been invented by Hypatia at Alexandria,[1] but appears to have been
-neglected until it was reinvented by Robert Boyle, whose "New Essay
-Instrument," as described in the _Phil. Trans._ for June 1675, differs
-in no essential particular from Nicholson's hydrometer. This instrument
-was devised for the purpose of detecting counterfeit coin, especially
-guineas and half-guineas. In the first section of the paper (_Phil.
-Trans._ No. 115, p. 329) the author refers to a glass instrument
-exhibited by himself many years before, and "consisting of a bubble
-furnished with a long and slender stem, which was to be put into several
-liquors, to compare and estimate their specific gravities." This seems
-to be the first reference to the hydrometer in modern times.
-
-In fig. 1 C represents the instrument used for guineas, the circular
-plates A representing plates of lead, which are used as ballast when
-lighter coins than guineas are examined. B represents "a small glass
-instrument for estimating the specific gravities of liquors," an account
-of which was promised by Boyle in the following number of the _Phil.
-Trans._, but did not appear.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 1.--Boyle's New Essay Instrument.]
-
-The instrument represented at B (fig. 1), which is copied from Robert
-Boyle's sketch in the _Phil. Trans._ for 1675, is generally known as the
-common hydrometer. It is usually made of glass, the lower bulb being
-loaded with mercury or small shot which serves as ballast, causing the
-instrument to float with the stem vertical. The quantity of mercury or
-shot inserted depends upon the density of the liquids for which the
-hydrometer is to be employed, it being essential that the whole of the
-bulb should be immersed in the heaviest liquid for which the instrument
-is used, while the length and diameter of the stem must be such that the
-hydrometer will float in the lightest liquid for which it is required.
-The stem is usually divided into a number of equal parts, the divisions
-of the scale being varied in different instruments, according to the
-purposes for which they are employed.
-
- Let V denote the volume of the instrument immersed (i.e. of liquid
- displaced) when the surface of the liquid in which the hydrometer
- floats coincides with the lowest division of the scale, A the area of
- the transverse section of the stem, l the length of a scale division,
- n the number of divisions on the stem, and W the weight of the
- instrument. Suppose the successive divisions of the scale to be
- numbered 0, 1, 2 ... n starting with the lowest, and let w0, W1, w2
- ... w_n be the weights of unit volume of the liquids in which the
- hydrometer sinks to the divisions 0, 1, 2 ... n respectively. Then, by
- the principle of Archimedes,
-
- W = Vw0; or w0 = W/V. Also
-
- W = (V + lA)w1; or w1 = W/(V + lA),
-
- w_p = W/(V + plA), and
-
- w_n= W/(V + nlA),
-
- or the densities of the several liquids vary inversely as the
- respective volumes of the instrument immersed in them; and, since the
- divisions of the scale correspond to equal increments of volume
- immersed, it follows that the densities of the several liquids in
- which the instrument sinks to the successive divisions form a harmonic
- series.
-
- If V = NlA then N expresses the ratio of the volume of the instrument
- up to the zero of the scale to that of one of the scale-divisions. If
- we suppose the lower part of the instrument replaced by a uniform bar
- of the same sectional area as the stem and of volume V, the
- indications of the instrument will be in no respect altered, and the
- bottom of the bar will be at a distance of N scale-divisions below the
- zero of the scale.
-
- In this case we have w_p = W/(N + p)lA; or the density of the liquid
- varies inversely as N + p, that is, as the whole number of
- scale-divisions between the bottom of the tube and the plane of
- flotation.
-
- If we wish the successive divisions of the scale to correspond to
- equal increments in the density of the corresponding liquids, then the
- volumes of the instrument, measured up to the successive divisions of
- the scale, must form a series in harmonical progression, the lengths
- of the divisions increasing as we go up the stem.
-
- The greatest density of the liquid for which the instrument described
- above can be employed is W/V, while the least density is W/(V + nlA),
- or W/(V + v), where v represents the volume of the stem between the
- extreme divisions of the scale. Now, by increasing v, leaving W and V
- unchanged, we may increase the range of the instrument indefinitely.
- But it is clear that if we increase A, the sectional area of the stem,
- we shall diminish l, the length of a scale-division corresponding to a
- given variation of density, and thereby proportionately diminish the
- sensibility of the instrument, while diminishing the section A will
- increase l and proportionately increase the sensibility, but will
- diminish the range over which the instrument can be employed, unless
- we increase the length of the stem in the inverse ratio of the
- sectional area. Hence, to obtain great sensibility along with a
- considerable range, we require very long slender stems, and to these
- two objections apply in addition to the question of portability; for,
- in the first place, an instrument with a very long stem requires a
- very deep vessel of liquid for its complete immersion, and, in the
- second place, when most of the stem is above the plane of flotation,
- the stability of the instrument when floating will be diminished or
- destroyed. The various devices which have been adopted to overcome
- this difficulty will be described in the account given of the several
- hydrometers which have been hitherto generally employed.
-
- The plan commonly adopted to obviate the necessity of inconveniently
- long stems is to construct a number of hydrometers as nearly alike as
- may be, but to load them differently, so that the scale-divisions at
- the bottom of the stem of one hydrometer just overlap those at the top
- of the stem of the preceding. By this means a set of six hydrometers,
- each having a stem rather more than 5 in. long, will be equivalent to
- a single hydrometer with a stem of 30 in. But, instead of employing a
- number of instruments differing only in the weights with which they
- are loaded, we may employ the same instrument, and alter its weight
- either by adding mercury or shot to the interior (if it can be opened)
- or by attaching weights to the exterior. These two operations are not
- quite equivalent, since a weight added to the interior does not affect
- the volume of liquid displaced when the instrument is immersed up to a
- given division of the scale, while the addition of weights to the
- exterior increases the displacement. This difficulty may be met, as in
- Keene's hydrometer, by having all the weights of precisely the same
- volume but of different masses, and never using the instrument except
- with one of these weights attached.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 2.--Clarke's Hydrometer.]
-
-The first hydrometer intended for the determination of the densities of
-liquids, and furnished with a set of weights to be attached when
-necessary, was that constructed by Mr Clarke (instrument-maker) and
-described by J. T. Desaguliers in the _Philosophical Transactions_ for
-March and April 1730, No. 413, p. 278. The following is Desaguliers's
-account of the instrument (fig. 2):--
-
- "After having made several fruitless trials with ivory, because it
- imbibes spirituous liquors, and thereby alters its gravity, he (Mr
- Clarke) at last made a copper hydrometer, represented in fig. 2,
- having a brass wire of about 1 in. thick going through, and soldered
- into the copper ball Bb. The upper part of this wire is filed flat on
- one side, for the stem of the hydrometer, with a mark at m, to which
- it sinks exactly in proof spirits. There are two other marks, A and B,
- at top and bottom of the stem, to show whether the liquor be (1/10)th
- above proof (as when it sinks to A), or (1/10)th under proof (as when
- it emerges to B), when a brass weight such as C has been screwed on to
- the bottom at c. There are a great many such weights, of different
- sizes, and marked to be screwed on instead of C, for liquors that
- differ more than (1/10)th from proof, so as to serve for the specific
- gravities in all such proportions as relate to the mixture of
- spirituous liquors, in all the variety made use of in trade. There are
- also other balls for showing the specific gravities quite to common
- water, which make the instrument perfect in its kind."
-
-Clarke's hydrometer, as afterwards constructed for the purposes of the
-excise, was provided with thirty-two weights to adapt it to spirits of
-different specific gravities, and eleven smaller weights, or "weather
-weights" as they were called, which were attached to the instrument in
-order to correct for variations of temperature. The weights were
-adjusted for successive intervals of 5 deg. F., but for degrees
-intermediate between these no additional correction was applied. The
-correction for temperature thus afforded was not sufficiently accurate
-for excise purposes, and William Speer in his essay on the hydrometer
-(Tilloch's _Phil. Mag._, 1802, vol. xiv.) mentions cases in which this
-imperfect compensation led to the extra duty payable upon spirits which
-were more than 10% over proof being demanded on spirits which were
-purposely diluted to below 10% over proof in order to avoid the charge.
-Clarke's hydrometer, however, remained the standard instrument for
-excise purposes from 1787 until it was displaced by that of Sikes.
-
-Desaguliers himself constructed a hydrometer of the ordinary type for
-comparing the specific gravities of different kinds of water
-(Desaguliers's _Experimental Philosophy_, ii. 234). In order to give
-great sensibility to the instrument, the large glass ball was made
-nearly 3 in. in diameter, while the stem consisted of a wire 10 in. in
-length and only (1/40)in. in diameter. The instrument weighed 4000
-grains, and the addition of a grain caused it to sink through an inch.
-By altering the quantity of shot in the small balls the instrument could
-be adapted for liquids other than water.
-
-To an instrument constructed for the same purpose, but on a still larger
-scale than that of Desaguliers, A. Deparcieux added a small dish on the
-top of the stem for the reception of the weights necessary to sink the
-instrument to a convenient depth. The effect of weights placed in such a
-dish or pan is of course the same as if they were placed within the bulb
-of the instrument, since they do not alter the volume of that part which
-is immersed.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 3.--Nicholson's Hydrometer.]
-
-The first important improvement in the hydrometer after its reinvention
-by Boyle was introduced by G. D. Fahrenheit, who adopted the second mode
-of construction above referred to, arranging his instrument so as always
-to displace the same volume of liquid, its weight being varied
-accordingly. Instead of a scale, only a single mark is placed upon the
-stem, which is very slender, and bears at the top a small scale pan into
-which weights are placed until the instrument sinks to the mark upon its
-stem. The volume of the displaced liquid being then always the same, its
-density will be proportional to the whole weight supported, that is, to
-the weight of the instrument together with the weights required to be
-placed in the scale pan.
-
-Nicholson's hydrometer (fig. 3) combines the characteristics of
-Fahrenheit's hydrometer and of Boyle's essay instrument.[2] The
-following is the description given of it by W. Nicholson in the
-_Manchester Memoirs_, ii. 374:--
-
- "AA represents a small scale. It may be taken off at D. Diameter
- 1(1/2) in., weight 44 grains.
-
- "B a stem of hardened steel wire. Diameter 1/100 in.
-
- "E a hollow copper globe. Diameter 2(8/10) in. Weight with stem 369
- grains.
-
- "FF a stirrup of wire screwed to the globe at C.
-
- "G a small scale, serving likewise as a counterpoise. Diameter 1(1/2)
- in. Weight with stirrup 1634 grains.
-
- "The other dimensions may be had from the drawing, which is one-sixth
- of the linear magnitude of the instrument itself.
-
- "In the construction it is assumed that the upper scale shall
- constantly carry 1000 grains when the lower scale is empty, and the
- instrument sunk in distilled water at the temperature of 60 deg. Fahr.
- to the middle of the wire or stem. The length of the stem is
- arbitrary, as is likewise the distance of the lower scale from the
- surface of the globe. But, the length of the stem being settled, the
- lower scale may be made lighter, and, consequently, the globe less,
- the greater its distance is taken from the surface of the globe; and
- the contrary."
-
-In comparing the densities of different liquids, it is clear that this
-instrument is precisely equivalent to that of Fahrenheit, and must be
-employed in the same manner, weights being placed in the top scale only
-until the hydrometer sinks to the mark on the wire, when the specific
-gravity of the liquid will be proportional to the weight of the
-instrument together with the weights in the scale.
-
-In the subsequent portion of the paper above referred to, Nicholson
-explains how the instrument may be employed as a thermometer, since,
-fluids generally expanding more than the solids of which the instrument
-is constructed, the instrument will sink as the temperature rises.
-
- To determine the density of solids heavier than water with this
- instrument, let the solid be placed in the upper scale pan, and let
- the weight now required to cause the instrument to sink in distilled
- water at standard temperature to the mark B be denoted by w, while W
- denotes the weight required when the solid is not present. Then W - w
- is the weight of the solid. Now let the solid be placed in the lower
- pan, care being taken that no bubbles of air remain attached to it,
- and let w1 be the weight now required in the scale pan. This weight
- will exceed w in consequence of the water displaced by the solid, and
- the weight of the water thus displaced will be W1 - w, which is
- therefore the weight of a volume of water equal to that of the solid.
- Hence, since the weight of the solid itself is W - w, its density must
- be (W - w)/(w1 - w).
-
-The above example illustrates how Nicholson's or Fahrenheit's hydrometer
-may be employed as a weighing machine for small weights.
-
-In all hydrometers in which a part only of the instrument is immersed,
-there is a liability to error in consequence of the surface tension, or
-capillary action, as it is frequently called, along the line of contact
-of the instrument and the surface of the liquid (see CAPILLARY ACTION).
-This error diminishes as the diameter of the stem is reduced, but is
-sensible in the case of the thinnest stem which can be employed, and is
-the chief source of error in the employment of Nicholson's hydrometer,
-which otherwise would be an instrument of extreme delicacy and
-precision. The following is Nicholson's statement on this point:--
-
- "One of the greatest difficulties which attends hydrostatical
- experiments arises from the attraction or repulsion that obtains at
- the surface of the water. After trying many experiments to obviate the
- irregularities arising from this cause, I find reason to prefer the
- simple one of carefully wiping the whole instrument, and especially
- the stem, with a clean cloth. The weights in the dish must not be
- esteemed accurate while there is either a cumulus or a cavity in the
- water round the stem."
-
-It is possible by applying a little oil to the upper part of the bulb of
-a common or of a Sikes's hydrometer, and carefully placing it in pure
-water, to cause it to float with the upper part of the bulb and the
-whole of the stem emerging as indicated in fig. 4, when it ought
-properly to sink almost to the top of the stem, the surface tension of
-the water around the circumference of the circle of contact, AA',
-providing the additional support required.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 4.]
-
- The universal hydrometer of G. Atkins, described in the _Phil. Mag._
- for 1808, xxxi. 254, is merely Nicholson's hydrometer with the screw
- at C projecting through the collar into which it is screwed, and
- terminating in a sharp point above the cup G. To this point soft
- bodies lighter than water (which would float if placed in the cup)
- could be attached, and thus completely immersed. Atkins's instrument
- was constructed so as to weigh 700 grains, and when immersed to the
- mark on the stem in distilled water at 60 deg. F. it carried 300
- grains in the upper dish. The hydrometer therefore displaced 1000
- grains of distilled water at 60 deg. F. and hence the specific gravity
- of any other liquid was at once indicated by adding 700 to the number
- of grains in the pan required to make the instrument sink to the mark
- on the stem. The small divisions on the scale corresponded to
- differences of (1/10)th of a grain in the weight of the instrument.
-
- The "Gravimeter," constructed by Citizen Guyton and described in
- _Nicholson's Journal_, 4to, i. 110, differs from Nicholson's
- instrument in being constructed of glass, and having a cylindrical
- bulb about 21 centimetres in length and 22 millimetres in diameter.
- Its weight is so adjusted that an additional weight of 5 grammes must
- be placed in the upper pan to cause the instrument to sink to the mark
- on the stem in distilled water at the standard temperature. The
- instrument is provided with an additional piece, or "plongeur," the
- weight of which exceeds 5 grammes by the weight of water which it
- displaces; that is to say, it is so constructed as to weigh 5 grammes
- in water, and consists of a glass envelope filled with mercury. It is
- clear that the effect of this "plongeur," when placed in the lower
- pan, is exactly the same as that of the 5 gramme weight in the upper
- pan. Without the extra 5 grammes the instrument weighs about 20
- grammes, and therefore floats in a liquid of specific gravity .8. Thus
- deprived of its additional weight it may be used for spirits. To use
- the instrument for liquids of much greater density than water
- additional weights must be placed in the upper pan, and the "plongeur"
- is then placed in the lower pan for the purpose of giving to the
- instrument the requisite stability.
-
- Charles's balance areometer is similar to Nicholson's hydrometer,
- except that the lower basin admits of inversion, thus enabling the
- instrument to be employed for solids lighter than water, the inverted
- basin serving the same purpose as the pointed screw in Atkins's
- modification of the instrument.
-
- Adie's sliding hydrometer is of the ordinary form, but can be adjusted
- for liquids of widely differing specific gravities by drawing out a
- sliding tube, thus changing the volume of the hydrometer while its
- weight remains constant.
-
- The hydrometer of A. Baume, which has been extensively used in France,
- consists of a common hydrometer graduated in the following manner.
- Certain fixed points were first determined upon the stem of the
- instrument. The first of these was found by immersing the hydrometer
- in pure water, and marking the stem at the level of the surface. This
- formed the zero of the scale. Fifteen standard solutions of pure
- common salt in water were then prepared, containing respectively 1, 2,
- 3, ... 15% (by weight) of dry salt. The hydrometer was plunged in
- these solutions in order, and the stem having been marked at the
- several surfaces, the degrees so obtained were numbered 1, 2, 3, ...
- 15. These degrees were, when necessary, repeated along the stem by the
- employment of a pair of compasses till 80 degrees were marked off. The
- instrument thus adapted to the determination of densities exceeding
- that of water was called the hydrometer for salts.
-
- The hydrometer intended for densities less than that of water, or the
- hydrometer for spirits, is constructed on a similar principle. The
- instrument is so arranged that it floats in pure water with most of
- the stem above the surface. A solution containing 10% of pure salt is
- used to indicate the zero of the scale, and the point at which the
- instrument floats when immersed in distilled water at 10 deg. R.
- (54(1/2) deg. F.) is numbered 10. Equal divisions are then marked off
- upwards along the stem as far as the 50th degree.
-
- The densities corresponding to the several degrees of Baume's
- hydrometer are given by Nicholson (_Journal of Philosophy_, i. 89) as
- follows:--

- Carrier's hydrometer was very similar to that of Baume, Cartier having
- been employed by the latter to construct his instruments for the
- French revenue. The point at which the instrument floated in distilled
- water was marked 10 deg. by Cartier, and 30 deg. on Carrier's scale
- corresponded to 32 deg. on Baume's.
-
- Perhaps the main object for which hydrometers have been constructed is
- the determination of the value of spirituous liquors, chiefly for
- revenue purposes. To this end an immense variety of hydrometers have
- been devised, differing mainly in the character of their scales.
-
- In Speer's hydrometer the stem has the form of an octagonal prism, and
- upon each of the eight faces a scale is engraved, indicating the
- percentage strength of the spirit corresponding to the several
- divisions of the scale, the eight scales being adapted respectively to
- the temperature 35 deg., 40 deg., 45 deg., 50 deg., 55 deg., 60 deg.,
- 65 deg. and 70 deg. F. Four small pins, which can be inserted into the
- counterpoise of the instrument, serve to adapt the instrument to the
- temperatures intermediate between those for which the scales are
- constructed. William Speer was supervisor and chief assayer of spirits
- in the port of Dublin. For a more complete account of this instrument
- see Tilloch's _Phil. Mag._, xiv. 151.
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 5.--Jones's Hydrometer.]
-
- The hydrometer constructed by Jones, of Holborn, consists of a
- spheroidal bulb with a rectangular stem (fig. 5). Between the bulb and
- counterpoise is placed a thermometer, which serves to indicate the
- temperature of the liquid, and the instrument is provided with three
- weights which can be attached to the top of the stem. On the four
- sides of the stem AD are engraved four scales corresponding
- respectively to the unloaded instrument, and to the instrument loaded
- with the respective weights. The instrument when unloaded serves for
- the range from 74 to 47 over proof; when loaded with the first weight
- it indicates from 46 to 13 over proof, with the second weight from 13
- over proof to 29 under proof, and with the third from 29 under proof
- to pure water, the graduation corresponding to which is marked W at
- the bottom of the fourth scale. One side of the stem AD is shown in
- fig. 5, the other three in fig. 6. The thermometer is also provided
- with four scales corresponding to the scales above mentioned. Each
- scale has its zero in the middle corresponding to 60 deg. F. If the
- mercury in the thermometer stand above this zero the spirit must be
- reckoned weaker than the hydrometer indicates by the number on the
- thermometer scale level with the top of the mercury, while if the
- thermometer indicate a temperature lower than the zero of the scale
- (60 deg. F.) the spirit must be reckoned stronger by the scale
- reading. At the side of each of the four scales on the stem of the
- hydrometer is engraved a set of small numbers indicating the
- contraction in volume which would be experienced if the requisite
- amount of water (or spirit) were added to bring the sample tested to
- the proof strength.
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 6.]
-
- The hydrometer constructed by Dicas of Liverpool is provided with a
- sliding scale which can be adjusted for different temperatures, and
- which also indicates the contraction in volume incident on bringing
- the spirit to proof strength. It is provided with thirty-six different
- weights which, with the ten divisions on the stem, form a scale from 0
- to 370. The employment of so many weights renders the instrument
- ill-adapted for practical work where speed is an object.
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 7.--Atkins's Hydrometer.]
-
- This instrument was adopted by the United States in 1790, but was
- subsequently discarded by the Internal Revenue Service for another
- type. In this latter form the observations have to be made at the
- standard temperature of 60 deg. F., at which the graduation 100
- corresponds to proof spirit and 200 to absolute alcohol. The need of
- adjustable weights is avoided by employing a set of five instruments,
- graduated respectively 0 deg.-100 deg., 80 deg.-120 deg., 100 deg.-140
- deg., 130 deg.-170 deg., 160 deg.-200 deg. The reading gives the
- volume of proof spirit equivalent to the volume of liquor; thus the
- readings 80 deg. and 120 deg. mean that 100 volumes of the test
- liquors contain the same amount of absolute alcohol as 80 and 120
- volumes of proof spirit respectively. Proof spirit is defined in the
- United States as a mixture of alcohol and water which contains equal
- volumes of alcohol and water at 60 deg. F., the alcohol having a
- specific gravity of 0.7939 at 60 deg. as compared with water at its
- maximum density. The specific gravity of proof spirit is 0.93353 at 60
- deg.; and 100 volumes of the mixture is made from 50 volumes of
- absolute alcohol and 53.71 volumes of water.
-
- Quin's universal hydrometer is described in the _Transactions of the
- Society of Arts_, viii. 98. It is provided with a sliding rule to
- adapt it to different temperatures, and has four scales, one of which
- is graduated for spirits and the other three serve to show the
- strengths of worts. The peculiarity of the instrument consists in the
- pyramidal form given to the stem, which renders the scale-divisions
- more nearly equal in length than they would be on a prismatic stem.
-
- Atkins's hydrometer, as originally constructed, is described in
- _Nicholson's Journal_, 8vo, ii. 276. It is made of brass, and is
- provided with a spheroidal bulb the axis of which is 2 in. in length,
- the conjugate diameter being 1(1/2) in. The whole length of the
- instrument is 8 in., the stem square of about 1/8-in. side, and the
- weight about 400 grains. It is provided with four weights, marked 1,
- 2, 3, 4, and weighing respectively 20, 40, 61 and 84 grains, which can
- be attached to the shank of the instrument at C (fig. 7) and retained
- there by the fixed weight B. The scale engraved upon one face of the
- stem contains fifty-five divisions, the top and bottom being marked 0
- or zero and the alternate intermediate divisions (of which there are
- twenty-six) being marked with the letters of the alphabet in order.
- The four weights are so adjusted that, if the instrument floats with
- the stem emerging as far as the lower division 0 with one of the
- weights attached, then replacing the weight by the next heavier causes
- the instrument to sink through the whole length of the scale to the
- upper division 0, and the first weight produces the same effect when
- applied to the naked instrument. The stem is thus virtually extended
- to five times its length, and the number of divisions increased
- practically to 272. When no weight is attached the instrument
- indicates densities from .806 to .843; with No. 1 it registers from
- .843 to .880, with No. 2 from .880 to .918, with No. 3 from .918 to
- .958, and with No. 4 from .958 to 1.000, the temperature being 55 deg.
- F. It will thus be seen that the whole length of the stem corresponds
- to a difference of density of about .04, and one division to about
- .00074, indicating a difference of little more than 1/3% in the
- strength of any sample of spirits.
-
- The instrument is provided with a sliding rule, with scales
- corresponding to the several weights, which indicate the specific
- gravity corresponding to the several divisions of the hydrometer scale
- compared with water at 55 deg. F. The slider upon the rule serves to
- adjust the scale for different temperatures, and then indicates the
- strength of the spirit in percentages over or under proof. The slider
- is also provided with scales, marked respectively Dicas and Clarke,
- which serve to show the readings which would have been obtained had
- the instruments of those makers been employed. The line on the scale
- marked "concentration" indicates the diminution in volume consequent
- upon reducing the sample to proof strength (if it is _over proof_,
- O.P.) or upon reducing proof spirit to the strength of the sample (if
- it is _under proof_, U.P.). By applying the several weights in
- succession in addition to No. 4 the instrument can be employed for
- liquids heavier than water; and graduations on the other three sides
- of the stem, together with an additional slide rule, adapt the
- instrument for the determination of the strength of worts.
-
- Atkins subsequently modified the instrument (_Nicholson's Journal_,
- 8vo, iii. 50) by constructing the different weights of different
- shapes, viz. circular, square, triangular and pentagonal, instead of
- numbering them 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively, a figure of the weight
- being stamped on the sliding rule opposite to every letter in the
- series to which it belongs, thus diminishing the probability of
- mistakes. He also replaced the letters on the stem by the
- corresponding specific gravities referred to water as unity. Further
- information concerning these instruments and the state of hydrometry
- in 1803 will be found in Atkins's pamphlet _On the Relation between
- the Specific Gravities and the Strength of Spirituous Liquors_ (1803);
- or _Phil. Mag._ xvi. 26-33, 205-212, 305-312; xvii. 204-210 and
- 329-341.
-
- In Gay-Lussac's alcoholometer the scale is divided into 100 parts
- corresponding to the presence of 1, 2, ... % by volume of alcohol at
- 15 deg. C., the highest division of the scale corresponding to the
- purest alcohol he could obtain (density .7947) and the lowest division
- corresponding to pure water. A table provides the necessary
- corrections for other temperatures.
-
- Tralles's hydrometer differs from Gay-Lussac's only in being graduated
- at 4 deg. C. instead of 15 deg. C., and taking alcohol of density
- .7939 at 15.5 deg. C. for pure alcohol instead of .7947 as taken by
- Gay-Lussac (Keene's _Handbook of Hydrometry_).
-
- In Beck's hydrometer the zero of the scale corresponds to density
- 1.000 and the division 30 to density .850, and equal divisions on the
- scale are continued as far as is required in both directions.
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 8.--Sike's Hydrometer.]
-
- In the centesimal hydrometer of Francoeur the volume of the stem
- between successive divisions of the scale is always (1/100)th of the
- whole volume immersed when the instrument floats in water at 4 deg. C.
- In order to graduate the stem the instrument is first weighed, then
- immersed in distilled water at 4 deg. C., and the line of flotation
- marked zero. The first degree is then found by placing on the top of
- the stem a weight equal to (1/100)th of the weight of the instrument,
- which increases the volume immersed by (1/100)th of the original
- volume. The addition to the top of the stem of successive weights,
- each (1/100)th of the weight of the instrument itself, serves to
- determine the successive degrees. The length of 100 divisions of the
- scale, or the length of the uniform stem the volume of which would be
- equal to that of the hydrometer up to the zero graduation, Francoeur
- called the "modulus" of the hydrometer. He constructed his instruments
- of glass, using different instruments for different portions of the
- scale (Francoeur, _Traite d'areometrie_, Paris, 1842).
-
- Dr Bories of Montpellier constructed a hydrometer which was based upon
- the results of his experiments on mixtures of alcohol and water. The
- interval between the points corresponding to pure alcohol and to pure
- water Bories divided into 100 equal parts, though the stem was
- prolonged so as to contain only 10 of these divisions, the other 90
- being provided for by the addition of 9 weights to the bottom of the
- instrument as in Clarke's hydrometer.
-
- The instrument which has now been exclusively used for revenue
- purposes for nearly a century is that associated with the name of
- Bartholomew Sikes, who was correspondent to the Board of Excise from
- 1774 to 1783, and for some time collector of excise for Hertfordshire.
-
- Sikes's hydrometer, on account of its similarity to that of Bories,
- appears to have been borrowed from that instrument. It is made of
- gilded brass or silver, and consists of a spherical ball A (fig. 8),
- 1.5 in. in diameter, below which is a weight B connected with the ball
- by a short conical stem C. The stem D is rectangular in section and
- about 3(1/2) in. in length. This is divided into ten equal parts, each
- of which is subdivided into five. As in Bories's instrument, a series
- of 9 weights, each of the form shown at E, serves to extend the scale
- to 100 principal divisions. In the centre of each weight is a hole
- capable of admitting the lowest and thickest end of the conical stem
- C, and a slot is cut into it just wide enough to allow the upper part
- of the cone to pass. Each weight can thus be dropped on to the lower
- stem so as to rest on the counterpoise B. The weights are marked 10,
- 20, ... 90; and in using the instrument that weight must be selected
- which will allow it to float in the liquid with a portion only of the
- stem submerged. Then the reading of the scale at the line of
- flotation, added to the number on the weight, gives the reading
- required. A small supernumerary weight F is added, which can be placed
- upon the top of the stem. F is so adjusted that when the 60 weight is
- placed on the lower stem the instrument sinks to the same point in
- distilled water when F is attached as in proof spirit when F is
- removed. The best instruments are now constructed for revenue purposes
- of silver, heavily gilded, because it was found that saccharic acid
- contained in some spirits attacked brass behind the gilding.
-
- The following table gives the specific gravities corresponding to the
- principal graduations on Sikes's hydrometer at 60 deg. F. and 62 deg.
- F., together with the corresponding strengths of spirits. The latter
- are based upon the tables of Charles Gilpin, clerk to the Royal
- Society, for which the reader is referred to the _Phil. Trans._ for
- 1794. Gilpin's work is a model for its accuracy and thoroughness of
- detail, and his results have scarcely been improved upon by more
- recent workers. The merit of Sikes's system lies not so much in the
- hydrometer as in the complete system of tables by which the readings
- of the instrument are at once converted into percentage of
- proof-spirit.

- In the above table for Sikes's hydrometer two densities are given
- corresponding to each of the degrees 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and
- 90, indicating that the successive weights belonging to the particular
- instrument for which the table has been calculated do not quite agree.
- The discrepancy, however, does not produce any sensible error in the
- strength of the corresponding spirit.
-
- A table which indicates the weight per gallon of spirituous liquors
- for every degree of Sikes's hydrometer is printed in 23 and 24 Vict.
- c. 114, schedule B. This table differs slightly from that given above,
- which has been abridged from the table given in Keene's _Handbook of
- Hydrometry_, apparently on account of the equal divisions on Sikes's
- scale having been taken as corresponding to equal increments of
- density.
-
- Sikes's hydrometer was established for the purpose of collecting the
- revenue of the United Kingdom by Act of Parliament, 56 Geo. III. c.
- 140, by which it was enacted that "all spirits shall be deemed and
- taken to be of the degree of strength which the said hydrometers
- called Sikes's hydrometers shall, upon trial by any officer or
- officers of the customs or excise, denote such spirits to be." This
- act came into force on January 5, 1817, and was to have remained in
- force until August 1, 1818, but was repealed by 58 Geo. III. c. 28,
- which established Sikes's hydrometer on a permanent footing. By 3 and
- 4 Will. IV. c. 52, S 123, it was further enacted that the same
- instruments and methods should be employed in determining the duty
- upon imported spirits as should in virtue of any Act of Parliament be
- employed in the determination of the duty upon spirits distilled at
- home. It is the practice of the officers of the inland revenue to
- adjust Sikes's hydrometer at 62 deg. F., that being the temperature at
- which the imperial gallon is defined as containing 10 lb. avoirdupois
- of distilled water. The specific gravity of any sample of spirits thus
- determined, when multiplied by ten, gives the weight in pounds per
- imperial gallon, and the weight of any bulk of spirits divided by this
- number gives its volume at once in imperial gallons.
-
- Mr (afterwards Colonel) J. B. Keene, of the Hydrometer Office, London,
- has constructed an instrument after the model of Sikes's, but provided
- with twelve weights of different masses but equal volumes, and the
- instrument is never used without having one of these attached. When
- loaded with either of the lightest two weights the instrument is
- specifically lighter than Sikes's hydrometer when unloaded, and it may
- thus be used for specific gravities as low as that of absolute
- alcohol. The volume of each weight being the same, the whole volume
- immersed is always the same when it floats at the same mark whatever
- weight may be attached.
-
- Besides the above, many hydrometers have been employed for special
- purposes. Twaddell's hydrometer is adapted for densities greater than
- that of water. The scale is so arranged that the reading multiplied by
- 5 and added to 1000 gives the specific gravity with reference to water
- as 1000. To avoid an inconveniently long stem, different instruments
- are employed for different parts of the scale as mentioned above.
-
- The lactometer constructed by Dicas of Liverpool is adapted for the
- determination of the quality of milk. It resembles Sikes's hydrometer
- in other respects, but is provided with eight weights. It is also
- provided with a thermometer and slide rule, to reduce the readings to
- the standard temperature of 55 deg. F. Any determination of density
- can be taken only as affording prima facie evidence of the quality of
- milk, as the removal of cream and the addition of water are operations
- which tend to compensate each other in their influence on the density
- of the liquid, so that the lactometer cannot be regarded as a reliable
- instrument.
-
- The marine hydrometers, as supplied by the British government to the
- royal navy and the merchant marine, are glass instruments with slender
- stems, and generally serve to indicate specific gravities from 1.000
- to 1.040. Before being issued they are compared with a standard
- instrument, and their errors determined. They are employed for taking
- observations of the density of sea-water.
-
- The salinometer is a hydrometer originally intended to indicate the
- strength of the brine in marine boilers in which sea-water is
- employed. Saunders's salinometer consists of a hydrometer which floats
- in a chamber through which the water from the boiler is allowed to
- flow in a gentle stream, at a temperature of 200 deg. F. The
- peculiarity of the instrument consists in the stream of water, as it
- enters the hydrometer chamber, being made to impinge against a disk of
- metal, by which it is broken into drops, thus liberating the steam,
- which would otherwise disturb the instrument.
-
- The use of Sikes's hydrometer necessitates the employment of a
- considerable quantity of spirit. For the testing of spirits in bulk no
- more convenient instrument has been devised, but where very small
- quantities are available more suitable laboratory methods must be
- adopted.
-
- In England, the Finance Act 1907 (7 Ed. VII. c. 13), section 4,
- provides as follows: (1) The Commissioners of Customs and the
- Commissioners of Inland Revenue may jointly make regulations
- authorizing the use of any means described in the regulations for
- ascertaining for any purpose the strength or weight of spirits. (2)
- Where under any enactment Sykes's (sic) Hydrometer is directed to be
- used or may be used for the purpose of ascertaining the strength or
- weight of spirits, any means so authorized by regulations may be used
- instead of Sykes's Hydrometer and references to Sykes's Hydrometer in
- any enactment shall be construed accordingly. (3) Any regulations made
- under this section shall be published in the London, Edinburgh and
- Dublin Gazette, and shall take effect from the date of publication, or
- such later date as may be mentioned in the regulations for the
- purpose. (4) The expression "spirits" in this section has the same
- meaning as in the Spirits Act 1880. (W. G.)

-HYDROPATHY, the name given, from the Greek, to the "water-cure," or the
-treatment of disease by water, used outwardly and inwardly. Like many
-descriptive names, the word "hydropathy" is defective and even
-misleading, the active agents in the treatment being heat and cold, of
-which water is little more than the vehicle, and not the only one.
-Thermotherapeutics (or thermotherapy) is a term less open to objection.
-
-Hydropathy, as a formal system, dates from about 1829, when Vincenz
-Priessnitz (1801-1851), a farmer of Grafenberg in Silesia, Austria,
-began his public career in the paternal homestead, extended so as to
-accommodate the increasing numbers attracted by the fame of his cures.
-Two English works, however, on the medical uses of water had been
-translated into German in the century preceding the rise of the movement
-under Priessnitz. One of these was by Sir John Floyer (1649-1734), a
-physician of Lichfield, who, struck by the remedial use of certain
-springs by the neighbouring peasantry, investigated the history of cold
-bathing, and published in 1702 his [Greek: "Psychrolousia], _or the
-History of Cold Bathing, both Ancient and Modern_." The book ran through
-six editions within a few years, and the translation was largely drawn
-upon by Dr J. S. Hahn of Silesia, in a work published in 1738, _On the
-Healing Virtues of Cold Water, Inwardly and Outwardly applied, as proved
-by Experience_. The other work was that of Dr James Currie (1756-1805)
-of Liverpool, entitled _Medical Reports on the Effects of Water, Cold
-and Warm, as a remedy in Fevers and other Diseases_, published in 1797,
-and soon after translated into German by Michaelis (1801) and Hegewisch
-(1807). It was highly popular, and first placed the subject on a
-scientific basis. Hahn's writings had meanwhile created much enthusiasm
-among his countrymen, societies having been everywhere formed to promote
-the medicinal and dietetic use of water; and in 1804 Professor Ortel of
-Ansbach republished them and quickened the popular movement by
-unqualified commendation of water drinking as a remedy for all diseases.
-In him the rising Priessnitz found a zealous advocate, and doubtless an
-instructor also.
-
-At Grafenberg, to which the fame of Priessnitz drew people of every rank
-and many countries, medical men were conspicuous by their numbers, some
-being attracted by curiosity, others by the desire of knowledge, but the
-majority by the hope of cure for ailments which had as yet proved
-incurable. Many records of experiences at Grafenberg were published, all
-more or less favourable to the claims of Priessnitz, and some
-enthusiastic in their estimate of his genius and penetration; Captain
-Claridge introduced hydropathy into England in 1840, his writings and
-lectures, and later those of Sir W. Erasmus Wilson (1809-1884), James
-Manby Gully (1808-1883) and Edward Johnson, making numerous converts,
-and filling the establishments opened soon after at Malvern and
-elsewhere. In Germany, France and America hydropathic establishments
-multiplied with great rapidity. Antagonism ran high between the old
-practice and the new. Unsparing condemnation was heaped by each on the
-other; and a legal prosecution, leading to a royal commission of
-inquiry, served but to make Priessnitz and his system stand higher in
-public estimation.
-
-Increasing popularity diminished before long that timidity which had in
-great measure prevented trial of the new method from being made on the
-weaker and more serious class of cases, and had caused hydropathists to
-occupy themselves mainly with a sturdy order of chronic invalids well
-able to bear a rigorous regimen and the severities of unrestricted
-crisis. The need of a radical adaptation to the former class was first
-adequately recognized by John Smedley, a manufacturer of Derbyshire,
-who, impressed in his own person with the severities as well as the
-benefits of "the cold water cure," practised among his workpeople a
-milder form of hydropathy, and began about 1852 a new era in its
-history, founding at Matlock a counterpart of the establishment at
-Grafenberg.
-
-Ernst Brand (1826-1897) of Berlin, Raljen and Theodor von Jurgensen of
-Kiel, and Karl Liebermeister (1833-1901) of Basel, between 1860 and
-1870, employed the cooling bath in abdominal typhus with striking
-results, and led to its introduction to England by Dr Wilson Fox. In the
-Franco-German war the cooling bath was largely employed, in conjunction
-frequently with quinine; and it now holds a recognized position in the
-treatment of hyperpyrexia. The wet sheet pack has become part of medical
-practice; the Turkish bath, introduced by David Urquhart (1805-1877)
-into England on his return from the East, and ardently adopted by Dr
-Richard Barter (1802-1870) of Cork, has become a public institution,
-and, with the "morning tub" and the general practice of water drinking,
-is the most noteworthy of the many contributions by hydropathy to public
-health (see BATHS, ad fin.).
-
- The appliances and arrangements by means of which heat and cold are
- brought to bear on the economy are--(a) Packings, hot and cold,
- general and local, sweating and cooling; (b) hot air and steam baths;
- (c) general baths, of hot water and cold; (d) sitz, spinal, head and
- foot baths; (e) bandages (or compresses), wet and dry; also (f)
- fomentations and poultices, hot and cold, sinapisms, stupes, rubbings
- and water potations, hot and cold.
-
- (a) Packings.--The full pack consists of a wet sheet enveloping the
- body, with a number of dry blankets packed tightly over it, including
- a macintosh covering or not. In an hour or less these are removed and
- a general bath administered. The pack is a derivative, sedative,
- sudorific and stimulator of cutaneous excretion. There are numerous
- modifications of it, notably the cooling pack, where the wrappings are
- loose and scanty, permitting evaporation, and the application of
- indefinite duration, the sheet being rewetted as it dries; this is of
- great value in protracted febrile conditions. There are also local
- packs, to trunk, limbs or head separately, which are derivative,
- soothing or stimulating, according to circumstance and detail.
-
- (b) Hot air baths, the chief of which is the Turkish (properly, the
- Roman) bath, consisting of two or more chambers ranging in temperature
- from 120 deg. to 212 deg. or higher, but mainly used at 150 deg. for
- curative purposes. Exposure is from twenty minutes up to two hours
- according to the effect sought, and is followed by a general bath, and
- occasionally by soaping and shampooing. It is stimulating, derivative,
- depurative, sudorific and alterative, powerfully promoting tissue
- change by increase of the natural waste and repair. It determines the
- blood to the surface, reducing internal congestions, is a potent
- diaphoretic, and, through the extremes of heat and cold, is an
- effective nervous and vascular stimulant and tonic. Morbid growths and
- secretions, as also the uraemic, gouty and rheumatic diathesis, are
- beneficially influenced by it. The full pack and Turkish bath have
- between them usurped the place and bettered the function of the once
- familiar hot bath. The Russian or steam bath and the lamp bath are
- primitive and inferior varieties of the modern Turkish bath, the
- atmosphere of which cannot be too dry and pure.
-
- (c) General baths comprise the rain (or needle), spray (or rose),
- shower, shallow, plunge, douche, wave and common morning sponge baths,
- with the dripping sheet, and hot and cold spongings, and are
- combinations, as a rule, of hot and cold water. They are stimulating,
- tonic, derivative and detergent.
-
- (d) Local baths comprise the sitz (or sitting), douche (or spouting),
- spinal, foot and head baths, of hot or cold water, singly or in
- combination, successive or alternate. The sitz, head and foot baths
- are used "flowing" on occasion. The application of cold by "Leiter's
- tubes" is effective for reducing inflammation (e.g. in meningitis and
- in sunstroke); in these a network of metal or indiarubber tubing is
- fitted to the part affected, and cold water kept continuously flowing
- through them. Rapid alternations of hot and cold water have a powerful
- effect in vascular stasis and lethargy of the nervous system and
- absorbents, yielding valuable results in local congestions and chronic
- inflammations.
-
- (e) Bandages (or compresses) are of two kinds,--_cooling_, of wet
- material left exposed for evaporation, used in local inflammations and
- fevers; and _heating_, of the same, covered with waterproof material,
- used in congestion, external or internal, for short or long periods.
- Poultices, warm, of bread, linseed, bran, &c., changed but twice in
- twenty-four hours, are identical in action with the heating bandage,
- and superior only in the greater warmth and consequent vital activity
- their closer application to the skin ensures.
-
- (f) Fomentations and poultices, hot or cold, sinapisms, stupes,
- rubefacients, irritants, frictions, kneadings, calisthenics,
- gymnastics, electricity, &c., are adjuncts largely employed.

-HYDROPHOBIA (Gr. [Greek: Hydor], water, and [Greek: phobos], fear; so
-called from the symptom of dread of water), or RABIES (Lat. for
-"madness"), an acute disease, occurring chiefly in certain of the lower
-animals, particularly the canine species, and liable to be communicated
-by them to other animals and to man.
-
-_In Dogs, &c._--The occurrence of rabies in the fox, wolf, hyaena,
-jackal, raccoon, badger and skunk has been asserted; but there is every
-probability that it is originally a disease of the dog. It is
-communicated by inoculation to nearly all, if not all, warm-blooded
-creatures. The transmission from one animal to another only certainly
-takes place through inoculation with viruliferous matters. The malady is
-generally characterized at a certain stage by an irrepressible desire in
-the animal to act offensively with its natural weapons--dogs and other
-carnivora attacking with their teeth, herbivora with their hoofs or
-horns, and birds with their beaks, when excited ever so slightly. In the
-absence of excitement the malady may run its course without any fit of
-fury or madness.
-
- _Symptoms._--The disease has been divided into three stages or
- periods, and has also been described as appearing in at least two
- forms, according to the peculiarities of the symptoms. But, as a rule,
- one period of the disease does not pass suddenly into another, the
- transition being almost imperceptible; and the forms do not differ
- essentially from each other, but appear merely to constitute varieties
- of the same disease, due to the natural disposition of the animal, or
- other modifying circumstances. These forms have been designated _true_
- or _furious rabies_ (Fr. _rage vrai_; Ger. _rasende Wuth_) and _dumb
- rabies_ (Fr. _rage mue_; Ger. _stille Wuth_).
-
- The malady does not commence with fury and madness, but in a strange
- and anomalous change in the habits of the dog: it becomes dull,
- gloomy, and taciturn, and seeks to isolate itself in out-of-the-way
- places, retiring beneath chairs and to odd corners. But in its
- retirement it cannot rest: it is uneasy and fidgety, and no sooner has
- it lain down than suddenly it jumps up in an agitated manner, walks
- backwards and forwards several times, again lies down and assumes a
- sleeping attitude, but has only maintained it for a few minutes when
- it is once more moving about. Again it retires to its corner, to the
- farthest recess it can find, and huddles itself up into a heap, with
- its head concealed beneath its chest and fore-paws. This state of
- continual agitation and inquietude is in striking contrast with its
- ordinary habits, and should therefore receive attention. Not
- unfrequently there are a few moments when the creature appears more
- lively than usual, and displays an extraordinary amount of affection.
- Sometimes there is a disposition to gather up straw, thread, bits of
- wood, &c., which are industriously carried away; a tendency to lick
- anything cold, as iron, stones, &c., is also observed in many
- instances; and there is also a desire evinced to lick other animals.
- Sexual excitement is also frequently an early symptom. At this period
- no disposition to bite is observed; the animal is docile with its
- master and obeys his voice, though not so readily as before, nor with
- the same pleased countenance. There is something strange in the
- expression of its face, and the voice of its owner is scarcely able to
- make it change from a sudden gloominess to its usual animated aspect.
- These symptoms gradually become more marked; the restlessness and
- agitation increase. If on straw the dog scatters and pulls it about
- with its paws, and if in a room it scratches and tumbles the cushions
- or rugs on which it usually lies. It is incessantly on the move,
- rambling about, scratching the ground, sniffing in corners and at the
- doors, as if on the scent or seeking for something. It indulges in
- strange movements, as if affected by some mental influences or a prey
- to hallucinations. When not excited by any external influence it will
- remain for a brief period perfectly still and attentive, as if
- watching something, or following the movements of some creature on the
- wall; then it will suddenly dart forward and snap at the vacant air,
- as if pursuing an annoying object, or endeavouring to seize a fly. At
- another time it throws itself, yelling and furious, against the wall,
- as if it heard threatening voices on the other side, or was bent on
- attacking an enemy. Nevertheless, the animal is still docile and
- submissive, for its master's voice will bring it out of its frenzy.
- But the saliva is already virulent, and the excessive affection which
- it evinces at intervals, by licking the hands or face of those it
- loves, renders the danger very great should there be a wound or
- abrasion. Until a late period in the disease the master's voice has a
- powerful influence over the animal. When it has escaped from all
- control and wanders erratically abroad, ferocious and restless, and
- haunted by horrid phantoms, the familiar voice yet exerts its
- influence, and it is rare indeed that it attacks its master.
-
- There is no dread of water in the rabid dog; the animal is generally
- thirsty, and if water be offered will lap it with avidity, and swallow
- it at the commencement of the disease. And when, at a later period,
- the constriction about the throat--symptomatic of the disease--renders
- swallowing difficult, the dog will none the less endeavour to drink,
- and the lappings are as frequent and prolonged when deglutition
- becomes impossible. So little dread has the rabid dog of water that it
- will ford streams and swim rivers; and when in the ferocious stage it
- will even do this in order to attack other creatures on the opposite
- side.
-
- At the commencement of the disease the dog does not usually refuse to
- eat, and some animals are voracious to an unusual degree. But in a
- short time it becomes fastidious, only eating what it usually has a
- special predilection for. Soon, however, this gives place to a most
- characteristic symptom--either the taste becomes extremely depraved or
- the dog has a fatal and imperious desire to bite and ingest
- everything. The litter of its kennel, wool from cushions, carpets,
- stockings, slippers, wood, grass, earth, stones, glass, horse-dung,
- even its own faeces and urine, or whatever else may come in its way,
- are devoured. On examination of the body of a dog which has died of
- rabies it is so common to find in the stomach a quantity of dissimilar
- and strange matters on which the teeth have been exercised that, if
- there was nothing known of the animal's history, there would be strong
- evidence of its having been affected with the disease. When a dog,
- then, is observed to gnaw and eat suchlike matters, though it exhibits
- no tendency to bite, it should be suspected.
-
- The mad dog does not usually foam at the mouth to any great extent at
- first. The mucus of the mouth is not much increased in quantity, but
- it soon becomes thicker, viscid, and glutinous, and adheres to the
- angles of the mouth, fauces and teeth. It is at this period that the
- thirst is most ardent, and the dog sometimes furiously attempts to
- detach the saliva with its paws; and if after a while it loses its
- balance in these attempts and tumbles over, there can no longer be any
- doubt as to the nature of the malady. There is another symptom
- connected with the mouth in that form of the disease named "dumb
- madness" which has frequently proved deceptive. The lower jaw drops in
- consequence of paralysis of its muscles, and the mouth remains open.
- The interior is dry from the air passing continually over it, and
- assumes a deep red tint, somewhat masked by patches of dust or earth,
- which more especially adhere to the upper surface of the tongue and to
- the lips. The strange alteration produced in the dog's physiognomy by
- its constantly open mouth and the dark colour of the interior is
- rendered still more characteristic by the dull, sad, or dead
- expression of the animal's eyes. In this condition the creature is not
- very dangerous, because generally it could not bite if it
- tried--indeed there does not appear to be much desire to bite in dumb
- madness; but the saliva is none the less virulent, and accidental
- inoculations with it, through imprudent handling, will prove as fatal
- as in the furious form. The mouth should not be touched,--numerous
- deaths having occurred through people thinking the dog had some
- foreign substance lodged in its throat, and thrusting their fingers
- down to remove it. The sensation of tightness which seems to exist at
- the throat causes the dog to act as if a bone were fixed between its
- teeth or towards the back of its mouth, and to employ its fore-paws as
- if to dislodge it. This is a very deceptive symptom, and may prove
- equally dangerous if caution be not observed. Vomiting of blood or a
- chocolate-coloured fluid is witnessed in some cases, and has been
- supposed to be due to the foreign substances in the stomach, which
- abrade the lining membrane; this, however, is not correct, as it has
- been observed in man.
-
- The voice of the rabid dog is very peculiar, and so characteristic
- that to those acquainted with it nothing more is needed to prove the
- presence of the disease. Those who have heard it once or twice never
- forget its signification. Owing to the alterations taking place in the
- larynx the voice becomes hoarse, cracked and stridulous, like that of
- a child affected with croup--the "voix du coq," as the French have it.
- A preliminary bark is made in a somewhat elevated tone and with open
- mouth; this is immediately succeeded by five, six or eight decreasing
- howls, emitted when the animal is sitting or standing, and always with
- the nose elevated, which seem to come from the depths of the throat,
- the jaws not coming together and closing the mouth during such
- emission, as in the healthy bark. This alteration in the voice is
- frequently the first observable indication of the malady, and should
- at once attract attention. In dumb madness the voice is frequently
- lost from the very commencement--hence the designation.
-
- The sensibility of the mad dog appears to be considerably diminished,
- and the animal appears to have lost the faculty of expressing the
- sensations it experiences: it is mute under the infliction of pain,
- though there can be no doubt that it still has peripheral sensation to
- some extent. Burning, beating and wounding produce much less effect
- than in health, and the animal will even mutilate itself with its
- teeth. Suspicion, therefore, should always strongly attach to a dog
- which does not manifest a certain susceptibility to painful
- impressions and receives punishment without any cry or complaint.
- There is also reason for apprehension when a dog bites itself
- persistently in any part of its body. A rabid dog is usually stirred
- to fury at the sight of one of its own species; this test has been
- resorted to by Henrie Marie Bouley (1814-1885) to dissipate doubts as
- to the existence of the disease when the diagnosis is otherwise
- uncertain. As soon as the suspected animal, if it is really rabid,
- finds itself in the presence of another of its species it at once
- assumes the aggressive, and, if allowed, will bite furiously. All
- rabid animals indeed become excited, exasperated, and furious at the
- sight of a dog, and attack it with their natural weapons, even the
- timid sheep when rabid butts furiously at the enemy before which in
- health it would have fled in terror. This inversion of sentiment is
- sometimes valuable in diagnosing the malady; it is so common that it
- may be said to be present in every case of rabies. When, therefore, a
- dog, contrary to its habits and natural inclination, becomes suddenly
- aggressive to other dogs, it is time to take precautions.
-
- In the large majority of instances the dog is inoffensive in the early
- period of the disease to those to whom it is familiar. It then flies
- from its home and either dies, is killed as "mad," or returns in a
- miserable plight, and in an advanced stage of the malady, when the
- desire to bite is irresistible. It is in the early stage that
- sequestration and suppressive measures are most valuable. The dogs
- which propagate the disease are usually those that have escaped from
- their owners. After two or three days, frequently in about twelve
- hours, more serious and alarming symptoms appear, ferocious instincts
- are developed, and the desire to do injury is irrepressible. The
- animal has an indefinable expression of sombre melancholy and cruelty.
- The eyes have their pupils dilated, and emit flashes of light when
- they are not dull and heavy; they always appear so fierce as to
- produce terror in the beholder; they are red, and their sensibility to
- light is increased; and wrinkles, which sometimes appear on the
- forehead, add to the repulsive aspect of the animal. If caged it flies
- at the spectator, emitting its characteristic howl or bark, and
- seizing the iron bars with its teeth, and if a stick be thrust before
- it this is grasped and gnawed. This fury is soon succeeded by
- lassitude, when the animal remains insensible to every excitement.
- Then all at once it rouses up again, and another paroxysm of fury
- commences. The first paroxysm is usually the most intense, and the
- fits vary in duration from some hours to a day, and even longer; they
- are ordinarily briefer in trained and pet dogs than in those which are
- less domesticated, but in all the remission is so complete after the
- first paroxysm that the animals appear to be almost well, if not in
- perfect health. During the paroxysms respiration is hurried and
- laboured, but tranquil during the remissions. There is an increase of
- temperature, and the pulse is quick and hard. When the animal is kept
- in a dark place and not excited, the fits of fury are not observed.
- Sometimes it is agitated and restless in the manner already described.
- It never becomes really furious or aggressive unless excited by
- external objects--the most potent of these, as has been said, being
- another dog, which, however, if it be admitted to its cage, it may not
- at once attack. The attacked animal rarely retaliates, but usually
- responds to the bites by acute yells, which contrast strangely with
- the silent anger of the aggressor, and tries to hide its head with its
- paws or beneath the straw. These repeated paroxysms hurry the course
- of the disease. The secretion and flowing of a large quantity of
- saliva from the mouth are usually only witnessed in cases in which
- swallowing has become impossible, the mouth being generally dry. At
- times the tongue, nose and whole head appear swollen. Other dogs
- frequently shun one which is rabid, as if aware of their danger.
-
- The rabid dog, if lodged in a room or kept in a house, is continually
- endeavouring to escape; and when it makes its escape it goes freely
- forward, as if impelled by some irresistible force. It travels
- considerable distances in a short time, perhaps attacking every living
- creature it meets--preferring dogs, however, to other animals, and
- these to mankind; cats, sheep, cattle and horses are particularly
- liable to be injured. It attacks in silence, and never utters a snarl
- or a cry of anger; should it chance to be hurt in return it emits no
- cry or howl of pain. The degree of ferocity appears to be related to
- natural disposition and training. Some dogs, for instance, will only
- snap or give a slight bite in passing, while others will bite
- furiously, tearing the objects presented to them, or which they meet
- in their way, and sometimes with such violence as to injure their
- mouth and break their teeth, or even their jaws. If chained, they will
- in some cases gnaw the chain until their teeth are worn away and the
- bones laid bare. The rabid dog does not continue its progress very
- long. Exhausted by fatigue and the paroxysms of madness excited in it
- by the objects it meets, as well as by hunger, thirst, and also, no
- doubt, by the malady, its limbs soon become feeble; the rate of
- travelling is lessened and the walk is unsteady, while its drooping
- tall, head inclined towards the ground, open mouth, and protruded
- tongue (of a leaden colour or covered with dust) give the distressed
- creature a very striking and characteristic physiognomy. In this
- condition, however, it is much less to be dreaded than in its early
- fits of fury, since it is no longer capable or desirous of altering
- its course or going out of its way to attack an animal or a man not
- immediately in the path. It is very probable that its fast-failing
- vision, deadened scent, and generally diminished perception prevent
- its being so readily impressed or excited by surrounding objects as it
- previously was. To each paroxysm, which is always of short duration,
- there succeeds a degree of exhaustion as great as the fits have been
- violent and oft repeated. This compels the animal to stop; then it
- shelters itself in obscure places--frequently in ditches by the
- roadside--and lies there in a somnolescent state for perhaps hours.
- There is great danger, nevertheless, in disturbing the dog at this
- period; for when roused from its torpor it has sometimes sufficient
- strength to inflict a bite. This period, which may be termed the
- second stage, is as variable in its duration as the first, but it
- rarely exceeds three or four days. The above-described phenomena
- gradually merge into those of the third or last period, when symptoms
- of paralysis appear, which are speedily followed by death. During the
- remission in the paroxysms these paralytic symptoms are more
- particularly manifested in the hind limbs, which appear as if unable
- to support the animal's weight, and cause it to stagger about; or the
- lower jaw becomes more or less drooping, leaving the parched mouth
- partially open. Emaciation rapidly sets in, and the paroxysms diminish
- in intensity, while the remissions become less marked. The physiognomy
- assumes a still more sinister and repulsive aspect; the hair is dull
- and erect; the flanks are retracted; the eyes lose their lustre and
- are buried in the orbits, the pupil being dilated, and the cornea dull
- and semi-opaque; very often, even at an early period, the eyes squint,
- and this adds still more to the terrifying appearance of the poor dog.
- The voice, if at all heard, is husky, the breathing laborious, and the
- pulse hurried and irregular. Gradually the paralysis increases, and
- the posterior extremities are dragged as if the animal's back were
- broken, until at length it becomes general; it is then the prelude to
- death. Or the dog remains lying in a state of stupor, and can only
- raise itself with difficulty on the fore-limbs when greatly excited.
- In this condition it may yet endeavour to bite at objects within its
- reach. At times convulsions of a tetanic character appear in certain
- muscles; at other times these are general. A comatose condition
- ensues, and the rabid dog, if permitted to die naturally, perishes, in
- the great majority of cases, from paralysis and asphyxia.
-
- In dumb madness there is paralysis of the lower jaw, which imparts a
- curious and very characteristic physiognomy to the dog; the voice is
- also lost, and the animal can neither eat nor drink. In this condition
- the creature remains with its jaw pendent and the mouth consequently
- wide open, showing the flaccid or swollen tongue covered with brownish
- matter, and a stringy gelatinous-looking saliva lying between it and
- the lower lip and coating the fauces, which sometimes appear to be
- inflamed. Though the animal is unable to swallow fluids, the desire to
- drink is nevertheless intense; for the creature will thrust its face
- into the vessel of water in futile attempts to obtain relief, even
- until the approach of death. Water may be poured down its throat
- without inducing a paroxysm. The general physiognomy and demeanour of
- the poor creature inspire the beholder with pity rather than fear. The
- symptoms due to cerebral excitement are less marked than in the
- furious form of the disease; the agitation is not so considerable, and
- the restlessness, tendency to run away, and desire to bite are nearly
- absent; generally the animal is quite passive. Not unfrequently one or
- both eyes squint, and it is only when very much excited that the dog
- may contrive to close its mouth. Sometimes there is swelling about the
- pharynx and the neck; when the tongue shares in this complication it
- hangs out of the mouth. In certain cases there is a catarrhal
- condition of the membrane lining the nasal cavities, larynx, and
- bronchi; sometimes the animal testifies to the existence of abdominal
- pain, and the faeces are then soft or fluid. The other symptoms--such
- as the rapid exhaustion and emaciation, paralysis of the posterior
- limbs towards the termination of the disease, as well as the rapidity
- with which it runs its course--are the same as in the furious form.
-
- The simultaneous occurrence of furious and dumb madness has frequently
- been observed in packs of fox-hounds. Dumb madness differs, then, from
- the furious type in the paralysis of the lower jaw, which hinders the
- dog from biting, save in very exceptional circumstances; the ferocious
- instincts are also in abeyance; and there is no tendency to
- aggression. It has been calculated that from 15 to 20% of rabid dogs
- have this particular form of the disease. Puppies and young dogs
- chiefly have furious rabies.
-
- These are the symptoms of rabies in the dog; but it is not likely, nor
- is it necessary, that they will all be present in every case. In other
- species the symptoms differ more or less from those manifested by the
- dog, but they are generally marked by a change in the manner and
- habits of the creatures affected, with strong indications of nervous
- disturbance, in the majority of species amounting to ferociousness and
- a desire to injure, timid creatures becoming bold and aggressive.
-
-_In Human Beings._--The disease of hydrophobia has been known from early
-times, and is alluded to in the works of Aristotle, Xenophon, Plutarch,
-Virgil, Horace, Ovid and many others, as well as in those of the early
-writers on medicine. Celsus gives detailed instructions respecting the
-treatment of men who have been bitten by rabid dogs, and dwells on the
-dangers attending such wounds. After recommending suction of the bitten
-part by means of a dry cupping glass, and thereafter the application of
-the actual cautery or of strong caustics, and the employment of baths
-and various internal remedies, he says: "Idque cum ita per triduum
-factum est, tutus esse homo a periculo videtur. Solet autem ex eo
-vulnere, ubi parum occursum est, aquae timor nasci, [Greek:
-hydrophobian] Graeci appellant. Miserrimum genus morbi; in quo simul
-aeger et siti et aquae metu cruciatur; quo oppressis in angusto spes
-est." Subsequently Galen described minutely the phenomena of
-hydrophobia, and recommended the excision of the wounded part as a
-protection against the disease. Throughout many succeeding centuries
-little or nothing was added to the facts which the early physicians had
-made known upon the subject. The malady was regarded with universal
-horror and dread, and the unfortunate sufferers were generally abandoned
-by all around them and left to their terrible fate. In later times the
-investigations of Boerhaave, Gerard van Swieten (1700-1772), John
-Hunter, Francois Magendie (1783-1855), Gilbert Breschet (1784-1845),
-Virchow, Albert Reder, as also of William Youatt (1776-1847), George
-Fleming, Meynell, Karl Hertwig (1798-1881), and others, have furnished
-important information; but all these were put into the shade by the
-researches of Pasteur.
-
-The disease is communicated by the secretions of the mouth of the
-affected animal entering a wound or abrasion of the human skin or mucous
-membrane. In the great majority of cases (90%) this is due to the bite
-of a rabid dog, but bites of rabid cats, wolves, foxes, jackals, &c. are
-occasionally the means of conveying the disease. Numerous popular
-fallacies still prevail on the subject of hydrophobia. Thus it is
-supposed that the bite of an angry dog may produce the disease, and all
-the more if the animal should subsequently develop symptoms of rabies.
-The ground for this erroneous notion is the fact, which is
-unquestionable, that animals in whom rabies is in the stage of
-incubation, during which there are few if any symptoms, may by their
-bites convey the disease, though fortunately during this early stage
-they are little disposed to bite. The bite of a non-rabid animal,
-however enraged, cannot give rise to hydrophobia.
-
-The period of incubation of the disease, or that time which elapses
-between the introduction of the virus and the development of the
-symptoms, appears to vary in a remarkable degree, being in some cases as
-short as a fortnight, and in others as long as several months or even
-years. On an average it seems to be from about six weeks to three
-months, but it mainly depends on the part bitten; bites on the head are
-the most dangerous. The incubation period is also said to be shorter in
-children. The rare instances of the appearance of hydrophobia many years
-after the introduction of the poison are always more or less open to
-question as to subsequent inoculation.
-
-When the disease is about to declare itself it not unfrequently happens
-that the wound, which had quickly and entirely healed after the bite,
-begins to exhibit evidence of irritation or inflammatory action, or at
-least to be the seat of morbid sensations such as numbness, tingling or
-itching. The symptoms characterizing the premonitory stage are great
-mental depression and disquietude, together with restlessness and a kind
-of indefinite fear. There is an unusual tendency to talk, and the
-articulation is abrupt and rapid. Although in some instances the
-patients will not acknowledge that they have been previously bitten, and
-deny it with great obstinacy, yet generally they are well aware of the
-nature of their malady, and speak despairingly of its consequences.
-There is in this early stage a certain amount of constitutional
-disturbance showing itself by feverishness, loss of appetite,
-sleeplessness, headache, great nervous excitability, respiration of a
-peculiar sighing or sobbing character, and even occasionally a
-noticeable aversion to liquids. These symptoms--constituting what is
-termed the melancholic stage--continue in general for one or two days,
-when they are succeeded by the stage of excitement in which all the
-characteristic phenomena of the malady are fully developed. Sometimes
-the disease first shows itself in this stage, without antecedent
-symptoms.
-
-The agitation of the sufferer now becomes greatly increased, and the
-countenance exhibits anxiety and terror. There is noticed a marked
-embarrassment of the breathing, but the most striking and terrible
-features of this stage are the effects produced by attempts to swallow
-fluids. The patient suffers from thirst and desires eagerly to drink,
-but on making the effort is seized with a most violent suffocative
-paroxysm produced by spasm of the muscles of swallowing and breathing,
-which continues for several seconds, and is succeeded by a feeling of
-intense alarm and distress. With great caution and determination the
-attempt is renewed, but only to be followed with a repetition of the
-seizure, until the unhappy sufferer ceases from sheer dread to try to
-quench the thirst which torments him. Indeed the very thought of doing
-so suffices to bring on a choking paroxysm, as does also the sound of
-the running of water. The patient is extremely sensitive to any kind of
-external impression; a bright light, a loud noise, a breath of cool air,
-contact with any one, are all apt to bring on one of these seizures. But
-besides these suffocative attacks there also occur general convulsions
-affecting the whole muscular system of the body, and occasionally a
-condition of tetanic spasm. These various paroxysms increase in
-frequency and severity with the advance of the disease, but alternate
-with intervals of comparative quiet, in which, however, there is intense
-anxiety and more or less constant difficulty of breathing, accompanied
-with a peculiar sonorous expiration, which has suggested the notion that
-the patient barks like a dog. In many instances there is great mental
-disturbance, with fits of maniacal excitement, in which he strikes at
-every one about him, and accuses them of being the cause of his
-sufferings--these attacks being succeeded by calm intervals in which he
-expresses great regret for his violent behaviour. During all this stage
-of the disease the patient is tormented with a viscid secretion
-accumulating in his mouth, which from dread of swallowing he is
-constantly spitting about him. There may also be noticed snapping
-movements of the jaws as if he were attempting to bite, but these are in
-reality a manifestation of the spasmodic action which affects the
-muscles generally. There is no great amount of fever, but there is
-constipation, diminished flow of urine, and often sexual excitement.
-
-After two or three days of suffering of the most terrible description
-the patient succumbs, death taking place either in a paroxysm of
-choking, or on the other hand in a tranquil manner from exhaustion, all
-the symptoms having abated, and the power of swallowing returned before
-the end. The duration of the disease from the first declaration of the
-symptoms is generally from three to five days.
-
-Apart from the inoculation method (see below), the treatment of most
-avail is that which is directed towards preventing the absorption of the
-poison into the system. This may be accomplished by excision of the part
-involved in the bite of the rabid animal, or, where this from its
-locality is impracticable, in the application to the wound of some
-chemical agent which will destroy the activity of the virus, such as
-potassa fusa, lunar caustic (nitrate of silver), or the actual cautery
-in the form of a red-hot wire. The part should be thoroughly acted on by
-these agents, no matter what amount of temporary suffering this may
-occasion. Such applications should be resorted to immediately after the
-bite has been inflicted, or as soon thereafter as possible. Further,
-even though many hours or days should elapse, these local remedies
-should still be applied; for if, as appears probable, some at least of
-the virus remains for long at the injured part, the removal or effectual
-destruction of this may prevent the dread consequences of its
-absorption. Every effort should be made to tranquillize and reassure the
-patient.
-
-Two special points of interest have arisen in recent years in connexion
-with this disease. One is the Pasteur treatment by inoculation with
-rabic virus (see also PARASITIC DISEASES), and the other was the attempt
-of the government to exterminate rabies in the British Isles by muzzling
-dogs.
-
-
- Pasteur treatment.
-
-The Pasteur treatment was first applied to human beings in 1885 after
-prolonged investigation and experimental trial on animals. It is based
-on the fact that a virus, capable of giving rabies by inoculation, can
-be extracted from the tissues of a rabid animal and then intensified or
-attenuated at pleasure. It appears that the strength of the rabic virus,
-as determined by inoculation, is constant in the same species of animal,
-but is modified by passing through another species. For instance, the
-natural virus of dogs is always of the same strength, but when
-inoculated into monkeys it becomes weakened, and the process of
-attenuation can be carried on by passing the virus through a succession
-of monkeys, until it loses the power of causing death. If this weakened
-virus is then passed back through guinea-pigs, dogs or rabbits, it
-regains its former strength. Again, if it be passed through a succession
-of dogs it becomes intensified up to a maximum of strength which is
-called the _virus fixe_. Pasteur further discovered that the strength
-can be modified by temperature and by keeping the dried tissues of a
-rabid animal containing the virus. Thus, if the spinal cord of a rabid
-dog be preserved in a dry state, the virus loses strength day by day.
-The system of treatment consists in making an emulsion of the cord and
-graduating the strength of the dose by using a succession of cords,
-which have been kept for a progressively diminishing length of time.
-Those which have been kept for fourteen days are used as a
-starting-point, yielding virus of a minimum strength. They are followed
-by preparations of diminishing age and increasing strength, day by day,
-up to the maximum, which is three days old. These are successively
-injected into the circulatory system. The principle is the artificial
-acquisition by the patient of resistance to the rabic virus, which is
-presumed to be already in the system but has not yet become active, by
-accustoming him gradually to its toxic effect, beginning with a weak
-form and progressively increasing the dose. It is not exactly treatment
-of the disease, because it is useless or nearly so when the disease has
-commenced, nor is it exactly preventive, for the patient has already
-been bitten. It must be regarded as a kind of anticipatory cure. The
-cords are cut into sections and preserved dry in sterilized flasks
-plugged with cotton-wool. Another method of preparing the inoculatory
-virus, which has been devised by Guido Tizzoni and Eugenio Centanni,
-consists in subjecting the _virus fixe_ to peptic digestion by diluted
-gastric juice for varying periods of time.
-
-The first patient was treated by Pasteur's system in July 1885. He was
-successively inoculated with emulsions made from cords that had been
-kept fourteen and ten days, then eleven and eight days, then eight,
-seven, six days, and so on. Two forms of treatment are now used--(1) the
-"simple," in which the course from weak to strong virus is extended over
-nine days; (2) the "intensive," in which the maximum is reached in seven
-days. The latter is used in cases of very bad bites and those of some
-standing, in which it is desirable to lose no time. Two days are
-compressed into one at the commencement by making injections morning and
-evening instead of once a day, so that the fifth-day cord is reached in
-four days instead of six, as in the "simple" treatment. When the
-maximum--the third-day cord--is reached the injections are continued
-with fifth-, fourth-, and third-day cords. The whole course is fifteen
-days in the simple treatment and twenty-one in the intensive. The doses
-injected range from 1 to 3 cubic centimetres. Injections are made
-alternately into the right and left flanks. The following table shows
-the number treated from 1886 to 1905, with the mortality.

-These figures do not include cases which develop hydrophobia during
-treatment or within fifteen days after treatment is completed, for it is
-held that persons who die within that period have their nervous centres
-invaded by virus before the cure has time to act. The true mortality
-should therefore be considerably higher. For instance, in 1898 three
-deaths came within this category, which just doubles the mortality; and
-in 1899 the additional deaths were six, bringing the mortality up to
-two-and-a-half times that indicated in the table. When, however, the
-additional deaths are included the results remain sufficiently striking,
-if two assumptions are granted--(1) that all the persons treated have
-been bitten by rabid animals; (2) that a large proportion of persons so
-bitten usually have hydrophobia. Unfortunately, both these assumptions
-lack proof, and therefore the evidence of the efficacy of the treatment
-cannot be said to satisfy a strictly scientific standard. With regard to
-the first point, the patients are divided into three categories--(1)
-those bitten by an animal the rabidity of which is proved by the
-development of rabies in other animals bitten by it or inoculated from
-its spinal cord; (2) those bitten by an animal pronounced rabid on a
-veterinary examination; (3) those bitten by an animal suspected of being
-rabid. The number of patients in each category in 1898 was (1) 141, (2)
-855, (3) 469; and in 1899 it was (1) 152, (2) 1099, (3) 363. As might be
-expected, the vast majority came under the second and third heads, in
-which the evidence of rabidity is doubtful or altogether lacking. With
-regard to the second point, the proportion of persons bitten by rabid
-animals who ordinarily develop hydrophobia has only been "estimated"
-from very inadequate data. Otto Bollinger from a series of collected
-statistics states that before the introduction of the Pasteur treatment,
-of patients bitten by dogs undoubtedly rabid 47% died, the rate being
-33% in those whose wounds had been cauterized and 83% when there had
-been no local treatment. If the number of rabid dogs be compared with
-the deaths from hydrophobia in any year or series of years, it can
-hardly be very high. For instance, in 1895, 668 dogs, besides other
-animals, were killed and certified to be rabid in England, and the
-deaths from hydrophobia were twenty. Of course this proves nothing, as
-the number of persons bitten is not known, but the difference between
-the amount of rabies and of hydrophobia is suggestively great in view of
-the marked propensity of rabid dogs to bite, nor is it accounted for by
-the fact that some of the persons bitten were treated at the Institut
-Pasteur. A comparison of the annual mortality from hydrophobia in France
-before and after the introduction of the treatment would afford decisive
-evidence as to its efficacy; but unfortunately no such comparison can be
-made for lack of vital statistics in that country. The experience of the
-Paris hospitals, however, points to a decided diminution of mortality.
-On the whole it must be said, in the absence of further data, that the
-Pasteur treatment certainly diminishes the danger of hydrophobia from
-the bites of rabid animals.
-
-More recently treatment with an anti-rabic serum has been suggested (see
-PARASITIC DISEASES). Victor Babes and Lepp and later Guido Tizzoni and
-Eugenio Centanni have worked out a method of serum treatment curative
-and protective. In this method not the rabic poison itself, as in the
-Pasteur treatment, but the protective substance formed is injected into
-the tissues. The serum of a vaccinated animal is capable of neutralizing
-the power of the virus of rabies not only when mixed with the virus
-before injection but even when injected simultaneously or within
-twenty-four hours after the introduction of the virus. These authors
-showed that the serum of a rabbit protects a rabbit better than does the
-serum of a dog, and vice versa. At the end of twenty days' injections
-they found they could obtain such a large quantity of anti-rabic
-substance in the serum of an animal, that even 1 part of serum to 25,000
-of the body weight would protect an animal. This process differs from
-that of Pasteur in so far as that in place of promoting the formation of
-the antidote within the body of the patient, by a process of vaccination
-with progressively stronger and stronger virus, this part of the process
-is carried on in an animal, Babes using the dog and Centanni the sheep,
-the blood serum of which is injected. This method of vaccination is
-useful as a protective to those in charge of kennels.
-
-
- Muzzling order in England.
-
-The attempt to stamp out rabies in Great Britain was an experiment
-undertaken by the government in the public interest. The principal means
-adopted were the muzzling of dogs in infected areas, and prolonged
-quarantine for imported animals. The efficacy of dog-muzzling in
-checking the spread of rabies and diminishing its prevalence has been
-repeatedly proved in various countries. Liable as other animals may be
-to the disease, in England at least the dog is pre-eminently the vehicle
-of contagion and the great source of danger to human beings. There is a
-difference of opinion on the way in which muzzling acts, though there
-can be none as to the effect it produces in reducing rabies. Probably it
-acts rather by securing the destruction of ownerless and stray--which
-generally includes rabid--dogs than by preventing biting; for though it
-may prevent snapping, even the wire-cage muzzle does not prevent furious
-dogs from biting, and it is healthy, not rabid, dogs that wear the
-muzzle. It has therefore been suggested that a collar would have the
-same effect, if all collarless dogs were seized; but the evidence goes
-to show that it has not, perhaps because rabid dogs are more likely to
-stray from home with their collars, which are constantly worn, than with
-muzzles which are not, and so escape seizure. Moreover, it is much
-easier for the police to see whether a dog is wearing a muzzle or not
-than it is to make sure about the collar. However this may be, the
-muzzle has proved more efficacious, but it was not applied
-systematically in England until a late date. Sometimes the regulations
-were in the hands of the government, and sometimes they were left to
-local authorities; in either case they were allowed to lapse as soon as
-rabies had died down. In April 1897 the Board of Agriculture entered on
-a systematic attempt to exterminate rabies by the means indicated. The
-plan was to enforce muzzling over large areas in which the disease
-existed, and to maintain it for six months after the occurrence of the
-last case. In spite of much opposition and criticism, this was
-resolutely carried out under Mr Walter Long, the responsible minister,
-and met with great success. By the spring of 1899--that is, in two
-years--the disease had disappeared in Great Britain, except for one area
-in Wales; and, with this exception, muzzling was everywhere relaxed in
-October 1899. It was taken off in Wales also in the following May, no
-case having occurred since November 1899. Rabies was then pronounced
-extinct. During the summer of 1900, however, it reappeared in Wales, and
-several counties were again placed under the order. The year 1901 was
-the third in succession in which no death from hydrophobia was
-registered in the United Kingdom. In the ten years preceding 1899, 104
-deaths were registered, the death-rate reaching 30 in 1889 and averaging
-29 annually. In 1902 two deaths from hydrophobia were registered. From
-that date to June 1909 (the latest available for the purpose of this
-article) no death from hydrophobia was notified in the United Kingdom.

-HYDROXYLAMINE, NH2OH, or hydroxy-ammonia, a compound prepared in 1865 by
-W. C. Lossen by the reduction of ethyl nitrate with tin and hydrochloric
-acid. In 1870 E. Ludwig and T. H. Hein (_Chem. Centralblatt_, 1870, 1,
-p. 340) obtained it by passing nitric oxide through a series of bottles
-containing tin and hydrochloric acid, to which a small quantity of
-platinum tetrachloride has been added; the acid liquid is poured off
-when the operation is completed, and sulphuretted hydrogen is passed in;
-the tin sulphide is filtered off and the filtrate evaporated. The
-residue is extracted by absolute alcohol, which dissolves the
-hydroxylamine hydrochloride and a little ammonium chloride; this last
-substance is removed as ammonium platino-chloride, and the residual
-hydroxylamine hydrochloride is recrystallized. E. Divers obtains it by
-mixing cold saturated solutions containing one molecular proportion of
-sodium nitrate, and two molecular proportions of acid sodium sulphite,
-and then adding a saturated solution of potassium chloride to the
-mixture. After standing for twenty-four hours, hydroxylamine potassium
-disulphonate crystallizes out. This is boiled for some hours with water
-and the solution cooled, when potassium sulphate separates first, and
-then hydroxylamine sulphate. E. Tafel (_Zeit. anorg. Chem._, 1902, 31,
-p. 289) patented an electrolytic process, wherein 50% sulphuric acid is
-treated in a divided cell provided with a cathode of amalgamated lead,
-50% nitric acid being gradually run into the cathode compartment. Pure
-anhydrous hydroxylamine has been obtained by C. A. Lobry de Bruyn from
-the hydrochloride, by dissolving it in absolute methyl alcohol and then
-adding sodium methylate. The precipitated sodium chloride is filtered,
-and the solution of hydroxylamine distilled in order to remove methyl
-alcohol, and finally fractionated under reduced pressure. The free base
-is a colourless, odourless, crystalline solid, melting at about 30 deg.
-C., and boiling at 58 deg. C. (under a pressure of 22 mm.). It
-deliquesces and oxidizes on exposure, inflames in dry chlorine and is
-reduced to ammonia by zinc dust. Its aqueous solution is strongly
-alkaline, and with acids it forms well-defined stable salts. E. Ebler
-and E. Schott (_J. pr. Chem._, 1908, 78, p. 289) regard it as acting
-with the formula NH2.OH towards bases, and as NH3:O towards acids, the
-salts in the latter case being of the oxonium type. It is a strong
-reducing agent, giving a precipitate of cuprous oxide from alkaline
-copper solutions at ordinary temperature, converting mercuric chloride
-to mercurous chloride, and precipitating metallic silver from solutions
-of silver salts. With aldehydes and ketones it forms oximes (q.v.). W.
-R. Dunstan (_Jour. Chem. Soc._, 1899, 75, p. 792) found that the
-addition of methyl iodide to a methyl alcohol solution of hydroxylamine
-resulted in the formation of trimethyloxamine, N(CH3)3O.
-
- Many substituted hydroxylamines are known, substitution taking place
- either in the [alpha] or [beta] position

-
- [beta]-phenylhydroxyl-amine, C6H5NH.OH., is obtained in the reduction
- of nitrobenzene in neutral solution (e.g. by the action of the
- aluminium-mercury couple and water), but better, according to C.
- Goldschmidt (_Ber._, 1896, 29, p. 2307) by dissolving nitrobenzene in
- ten times its weight of ether containing a few cubic centimetres of
- water, and heating with excess of zinc dust and anhydrous calcium
- chloride for three hours on a water bath. It also appears as an
- intermediate product in the electrolytic reduction of nitrobenzene in
- sulphuric acid solution. By gentle oxidation it yields nitrosobenzene.
- Derivatives of the type R2N.OH result in the action of the Grignard
- reagent on amyl nitrite. Dihydroxy-ammonia or nitroxyl, NH(OH)2, a
- very unstable and highly reactive substance, has been especially
- studied by A. Angeli (see A. W. Stewart, _Recent Advances in Physical

-
-HYDROZOA, one of the most widely spread and prolific groups of aquatic
-animals. They are for the most part marine in habitat, but a familiar
-fresh-water form is the common _Hydra_ of ponds and ditches, which gives
-origin to the name of the class. The Hydrozoa comprise the hydroids, so
-abundant on all shores, most of which resemble vegetable organisms to
-the unassisted eye; the hydrocorallines, which, as their name implies,
-have a massive stony skeleton and resemble corals; the jelly-fishes so
-called; and the Siphonophora, of which the species best known by repute
-is the so-called "Portuguese man-of-war" (_Physalia_), dreaded by
-sailors on account of its terrible stinging powers.
-
-In external form and appearance the Hydrozoa exhibit such striking
-differences that there would seem at first sight to be little in common
-between the more divergent members of the group. Nevertheless there is
-no other class in the animal kingdom with better marked characteristics,
-or with more uniform morphological peculiarities underlying the utmost
-diversity of superficial characters.
-
-All Hydrozoa, in the first place, exhibit the three structural features
-distinctive of the Coelentera (q.v.). (1) The body is built up of two
-layers only, an external protective and sensory layer, the ectoderm, and
-an internal digestive layer, the endoderm. (2) The body contains but a
-single internal cavity, the coelenteron or gastrovascular space, which
-may be greatly ramified, but is not shut off into cavities distinct from
-the central digestive space. (3) The generative cells are produced in
-either the ectoderm or endoderm, and not in a third layer arising in the
-embryo, distinct from the two primary layers; in other words, there is
-no mesoderm or coelom.
-
-To these three characters the Hydrozoa add a fourth which is distinctive
-of the subdivision of the Coelenterata termed the Cnidaria; that is to
-say, they always possess peculiar stinging organs known as nettle-cells,
-or _nematocysts_ (_Cnidae_), each produced in a cell forming an integral
-part of the animal's tissues. The Hydrozoa are thus shown to belong to
-the group of Coelenterata Cnidaria, and it remains to consider more
-fully their distinctive features, and in particular those which mark
-them off from the other main division of the Cnidaria, the Anthozoa
-(q.v.), comprising the corals and sea-anemones.
-
-The great diversity, to which reference has already been made, in the
-form and structure of the Hydrozoa is due to two principal causes. In
-the first place, we find in this group two distinct types of person or
-individual, the polyp and the medusa (qq.v.), each capable of a wide
-range of variations; and when both polyp and medusa occur in the
-life-cycle of the same species, as is frequently the case, the result is
-an alternation of generations of a type peculiarly characteristic of the
-class. In the second place, the power of non-sexual reproduction by
-budding is practically of universal occurrence among the Hydrozoa, and
-by the buds failing to separate from the parent stock, colonies are
-produced, more or less complicated in structure and often of great size.
-We find that polyps may either bud other polyps or may produce medusae,
-and that medusae may bud medusae, though never, apparently, polyps.
-Hence we have a primary subdivision of the colonies of Hydrozoa into
-those produced by budding of polyps and those produced by budding of
-medusae. The former may contain polyp-persons and medusa-persons, either
-one kind alone or both kinds combined; the latter will contain only
-medusa-persons variously modified.
-
-The morphology of the Hydrozoa reduces itself, therefore, to a
-consideration of the morphology of the polyp, of the medusa and of the
-colony. Putting aside the last-named, for a detailed account of which
-see HYDROMEDUSAE, we can best deal with the peculiarities of the polyp
-and medusa from a developmental point of view.
-
- In the development of the Hydrozoa, and indeed of the Cnidaria
- generally, the egg usually gives rise to an oval larva which swims
- about by means of a coating of cilia on the surface of the body. This
- very characteristic larva is termed a _planula_, but though very
- uniform externally, the planulae of different species, or of the same
- species at different periods, do not always represent the same stage
- of embryonic development internally. On examining more minutely the
- course of the development, it is found that the ovum goes through the
- usual process of cleavage, always total and regular in this group, and
- so gives rise to a hollow sphere or ovoid with the wall composed of a
- single layer of cells, and containing a spacious cavity, the
- blastocoele or segmentation-cavity. This is the _blastula_ stage
- occurring universally in all Metazoa, probably representing an
- ancestral Protozoan colony in phylogeny. Next the blastula gives rise
- to an internal mass of cells (fig. 1, hy) which come from the wall
- either by immigration (fig. 1, A) or by splitting off (delamination).
- The formation of an inner cell-mass converts the single-layered
- blastula (monoblastula) into a double-layered embryo (diblastula)
- which may be termed a parenchymula, since at first the inner cell-mass
- forms an irregular parenchyma which may entirely fill up and
- obliterate the segmentation cavity (fig. 1, B). At a later stage,
- however, the cells of the inner mass arrange themselves in a definite
- layer surrounding an internal cavity (fig. 1, C, al), which soon
- acquires an opening to the exterior at one pole, and so forms the
- characteristic embryonic stage of all Enterozoa known as the
- _gastrula_ (fig. 2). In this stage the body is composed of two layers,
- ectoderm (d) externally, and endoderm (c) internally, surrounding a
- central cavity, the _archenteron_ (b), which communicates with the
- exterior by a pore (a), the _blastopore_.
-
- Thus a planula larva may be a blastula, or but slightly advanced
- beyond this stage, or it may be (and most usually is) a parenchymula;
- or in some cases (Scyphomedusae) it may be a gastrula. It should be
- added that the process of development, the gastrulation as it is
- termed, may be shortened by the immigration of cells taking place at
- one pole only, and in a connected layer with orderly arrangement, so
- that the gastrula stage is reached at once from the blastula without
- any intervening parenchymula stage. This is a process of gastrulation
- by invagination which is found in all animals above the Coelenterata,
- but which is very rare in the Cnidaria, and is known only in the
- Scyphomedusae amongst the Hydrozoa.

-
- After the gastrula stage, which is found as a developmental stage in
- all Enterozoa, the embryo of the Hydrozoa proceeds to develop
- characters which are peculiar to the Coelenterata only. Round the
- blastopore hollow outgrowths, variable in number, arise by the
- evagination of the entire body-wall, both ectoderm and endoderm. Each
- outgrowth contains a prolongation of the archenteric cavity (compare
- figs. 2 and 3, A). In this way is formed a ring of tentacles, the most
- characteristic organs of the Cnidaria. They surround a region which is
- termed the peristome, and which contains in the centre the blastopore,
- which becomes the adult mouth. The archenteron becomes the
- gastrovascular system or coelenteron. Between the ectoderm and
- endoderm a gelatinous supporting layer, termed the mesogloea, makes
- its appearance. The gastrula has now become an _actinula_, which may
- be termed the distinctive larva of the Cnidaria, and doubtless
- represents in a transitory manner the common ancestor of the group. In
- no case known, however, does the actinula become the adult, sexually
- mature individual, but always undergoes further modifications, whereby
- it develops into either a polyp or a medusa.

-
- To become a polyp, the actinula (fig. 3, A) becomes attached to some
- firm object by the pole farthest from the mouth, and its growth
- preponderates in the direction of the principal axis, that is to say,
- the axis passing through the mouth (fig. 3, _a-b_). As a result the
- body becomes columnar in form (fig. 3, B), and without further change
- passes into the characteristic polyp-form (see POLYP).
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 3.--Diagram showing the change of the Actinula (A)
- into a Polyp (B); _a-b_, principal (vertical) axis; _c-d_, horizontal
- axis. The endoderm is shaded, the ectoderm is left clear.]
-
- It is convenient to distinguish two types of polyp by the names hydro
- polyp and anthopolyp, characteristic of the Hydrozoa and Anthozoa
- respectively. In the hydropolyp the body is typically elongated, the
- height of the column being far greater than the diameter. The
- peristome is relatively small and the mouth is generally raised on a
- projecting spout or _hypostome_. The ectoderm loses entirely the
- ciliation which it had in the planula and actinula stages and commonly
- secretes on its external surface a protective or supporting
- investment, the perisarc. Contrasting with this, the anthopolyp is
- generally of squat form, the diameter often exceeding the height; the
- peristome is wide, a hypostome is lacking, and the ectoderm, or so
- much of it as is exposed, i.e. not covered by secretion of skeletal or
- other investment, retains its ciliation throughout life. The internal
- structural differences are even more characteristic. In the hydropolyp
- the blastopore of the embryo forms the adult mouth situated at the
- extremity of the hypostome, and the ectoderm and endoderm meet at this
- point. In the anthopolyp the blastopore is carried inwards by an
- in-pushing of the body-wall of the region of the peristome, so that
- the adult mouth is an opening leading into a short ectodermal
- oesophagus or stomodaeum, at the bottom of which is the blastopore.
- Further, in the hydropolyp the digestive cavity either remains simple
- and undivided and circular in transverse section, or may show ridges
- projecting internally, which in this case are formed of endoderm
- alone, without any participation of the mesogloea. In the anthopolyp,
- on the other hand, the digestive cavity is always subdivided by
- so-called mesenteries, in-growths of the endoderm containing vertical
- lamellae of mesogloea (see ANTHOZOA). In short, the hydropolyp is
- characterized by a more simple type of organization than the
- anthopolyp, and is in most respects less modified from the actinula
- type of structure.
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 4.--Diagram showing the change of the Actinula
- into a Medusa. A, Vertical section of the actinula; _a-b_ and _c-d_ as

- and C'; c.c, circular or ring-canal; e.l, endoderm-lamella formed by

- article MEDUSA.]
-
- Returning now to the actinula, this form may, as already stated,
- develop into a medusa, a type of individual found only in the
- Hydrozoa, as here understood. To become a medusa, the actinula grows
- scarcely at all in the direction of the principal axis, but greatly
- along a plane at right angles to it. Thus the body becomes
- umbrella-shaped, the concave side representing the peristome, and the
- convex side the column, of the polyp. Hence the tentacles are found at
- the edge of the umbrella, and the hypostome forms usually a projecting
- tube, with the mouth at the extremity, forming the _manubrium_ or
- handle of the umbrella. The medusa has a pronounced radial symmetry,
- and the positions of the primary tentacles, usually four in number,
- mark out the so-called _radii_, alternating with which are four
- _interradii_. The ectoderm retains its ciliation only in the sensory
- organs. The mesogloea becomes enormously increased in quantity (hence
- the popular name "jelly-fish"), and in correlation with this the
- endoderm-layer lining the coelenteron becomes pressed together in the
- interradial areas and undergoes concrescence, forming a more or less
- complicated gastrovascular system (see MEDUSA). It is sufficient to
- state here that the medusa is usually a free-swimming animal, floating
- mouth downwards on the open seas, but in some cases it may be attached
- by its aboral pole, like a polyp, to some firm basis, either
- temporarily or permanently.
-
- Thus the development of the two types of individual seen in the
- Hydrozoa may be summarized as follows:--
-
- / Egg
- | |
- Free | Blastula
- | |
- "Planula" < Parenchymula
- | |
- Stage | Gastrula
- | |
- \ Actinula
- / \
- / \
- Polyp Medusa
-
- This development, though probably representing the primitive sequence
- of events, is never actually found in its full extent, but is always
- abbreviated by omission or elimination of one or more of the stages.
- We have already seen that the parenchymula stage is passed over when
- the gastrulation is of the invaginate type. On the other hand, the
- parenchymula may develop directly into the actinula or even into the
- polyp, with suppression of the intervening steps. Great apparent
- differences may also be brought about by variations in the period at
- which the embryo is set free as a larva, and since two free-swimming
- stages, planula and actinula, are unnecessary, one or other of them is
- always suppressed. A good example of this is seen in two common genera
- of British hydroids, _Cordylophora_ and _Tabularia_. In _Cordylophora_
- the embryo is set free at the parenchymula stage as a planula which
- fixes itself and develops into a polyp, both gastrula and actinula
- stages being suppressed. In _Tubularia_, on the other hand, the
- parenchymula develops into an actinula within the maternal tissues,
- and is then set free, creeps about for a time, and after fixing
- itself, changes into a polyp; hence in this case the planula-stage, as
- a free larva, is entirely suppressed.
-
- The Hydrozoa may be defined, therefore, as Cnidaria in which two types
- of individual, the polyp and the medusa, may be present, each type
- developed along divergent lines from the primitive actinula form. The
- polyp (hydropolyp) is of simple structure and never has an ectodernal
- oesophagus or mesenteries.[1] The general ectoderm loses its cilia,
- which persist only in the sensory cells, and it frequently secretes
- external protective or supporting structures. An internal mesogloeal
- skeleton is not found.
-
- The class is divisible into two main divisions or sub-classes,
- Hydromedusae and Scyphomedusae, of which definitions and detailed
- systematic accounts will be found under these headings.

-HYENA, a name applicable to all the representatives of the mammalian
-family _Hyaenidae_, a group of Carnivora (q.v.) allied to the civets.
-From all other large Carnivora except the African hunting-dog, hyenas
-are distinguished by having only four toes on each foot, and are further
-characterized by the length of the fore-legs as compared with the hind
-pair, the non-retractile claws, and the enormous strength of the jaws
-and teeth, which enables them to break the hardest bones and to retain
-what they have seized with unrelaxing grip.
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 1.--The Striped Hyena (_Hyaena striata_).]
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 2.--The Spotted Hyena (_Hyaena crocuta_).]
-
-The striped hyena (_Hyaena striata_) is the most widely distributed
-species, being found throughout India, Persia, Asia Minor, and North and
-East Africa, the East African form constituting a distinct race, _H.
-striata schillingsi_; while there are also several distinct Asiatic
-races. The species resembles a wolf in size, and is greyish-brown In
-colour, marked with indistinct longitudinal stripes of a darker hue,
-while the legs are transversely striped. The hairs on the body are long,
-especially on the ridge of the neck and back, where they form a distinct
-mane, which is continued along the tail. Nocturnal in habits, it prefers
-by day the gloom of caves and ruins, or of the burrows which it
-occasionally forms, and issues forth at sunset, when it commences its
-unearthly howling. When the animal is excited, the howl changes into
-what has been compared to demoniac laughter, whence the name of
-"laughing-hyena." These creatures feed chiefly on carrion, and thus
-perform useful service by devouring remains which might otherwise
-pollute the air. Even human dead are not safe from their attacks, their
-powerful claws enabling them to gain access to newly interred bodies in
-cemeteries. Occasionally (writes Dr W. T. Blanford) sheep or goats, and
-more often dogs, are carried off, and the latter, at all events, are
-often taken alive to the animal's den. This species appears to be
-solitary in habits, and it is rare to meet with more than two together.
-The cowardice of this hyena is proverbial; despite its powerful teeth,
-it rarely attempts to defend itself. A very different animal is the
-spotted hyena, _Hyaena (Crocuta) crocuta_, which has the sectorial teeth
-of a more cat-like type, and is marked by dark-brown spots on a
-yellowish ground, while the mane is much less distinct. At the Cape it
-was formerly common, and occasionally committed great havoc among the
-cattle, while it did not hesitate to enter the Kaffir dwellings at
-night and carry off children sleeping by their mothers. By persistent
-trapping and shooting, its numbers have now been considerably reduced,
-with the result, however, of making it exceedingly wary, so that it is
-not readily caught in any trap with which it has had an opportunity of
-becoming acquainted. Its range extends from Abyssinia to the Cape. The
-Abyssinian form has been regarded as a distinct species, under the name
-of _H. liontiewi_, but this, like various more southern forms, is but
-regarded as a local race. The brown hyena (_H. brunnea_) is South
-African, ranging to Angola on the west and Kilimanjaro on the east. In
-size it resembles the striped hyena, but differs in appearance, owing to
-the fringe of long hair covering the neck and fore part of the back. The
-general hue is ashy-brown, with the hair lighter on the neck (forming a
-collar), chest and belly; while the legs are banded with dark brown.
-This species is not often seen, as it remains concealed during the day.
-Those frequenting the coast feed on dead fish, crabs and an occasional
-stranded whale, though they are also a danger to the sheep and cattle
-kraal. Strand-wolf is the local name at the Cape.
-
-Although hyenas are now confined to the warmer regions of the Old World,
-fossil remains show that they had a more northerly range during Tertiary
-times; the European cave-hyena being a form of the spotted species,
-known as _H. crocuta spelaea_. Fossil hyenas occur in the Lower Pliocene
-of Greece, China, India, &c.; while remains indistinguishable from those
-of the striped species have been found in the Upper Pliocene of England
-and Italy.

-HYERES, a town in the department of the Var in S.E. France, 11 m. by
-rail E. of Toulon. In 1906 the population of the commune was 17,790, of
-the town 10,464; the population of the former was more than doubled in
-the last decade of the 19th century. Hyeres is celebrated (as is also
-its fashionable suburb, Costebelle, nearer the seashore) as a winter
-health resort. The town proper is situated about 2(1/2) m. from the
-seashore, and on the south-western slope of a steep hill (669 ft.,
-belonging to the Maurettes chain, 961 ft.), which is one of the
-westernmost spurs of the thickly wooded Montagnes des Maures. It is
-sheltered from the north-east and east winds, but is exposed to the cold
-north-west wind or _mistral_. Towards the south and south-east a fertile
-plain, once famous for its orange groves, but now mainly covered by
-vineyards and farms, stretches to the sea, while to the south-west,
-across a narrow valley, rises a cluster of low hills, on which is the
-suburb of Costebelle. The older portion of the town is still surrounded,
-on the north and east, by its ancient, though dilapidated medieval
-walls, and is a labyrinth of steep and dirty streets. The more modern
-quarter which has grown up at the southern foot of the hill has handsome
-broad boulevards and villas, many of them with beautiful gardens, filled
-with semi-tropical plants. Among the objects of interest in the old town
-are: the house (Rue Rabaton, 7) where J. B. Massillon (1663-1742), the
-famous pulpit orator, was born; the parish church of St Louis, built
-originally in the 13th century by the Cordelier or Franciscan friars,
-but completely restored in the earlier part of the 19th century; and the
-site of the old chateau, on the summit of the hill, now occupied by a
-villa. The plain between the new town and the sea is occupied by large
-nurseries, an excellent _jardin d'acclimatation_, and many market
-gardens, which supply Paris and London with early fruits and vegetables,
-especially artichokes, as well as with roses in winter. There are
-extensive salt beds (_salines_) both on the peninsula of Giens, S. of
-the town, and also E. of the town. To the east of the Giens peninsula is
-the fine natural harbour of Hyeres, as well as three thinly populated
-islands (the Stoechades of the ancients), Porquerolles, Port Cros and Le
-Levant, which are grouped together under the common name of Iles
-d'Hyeres.
-
-The town of Hyeres seems to have been founded in the 10th century, as a
-place of defence against pirates, and takes its name from the aires
-(_hierbo_ in the Provencal dialect), or threshing-floors for corn, which
-then occupied its site. It passed from the possession of the viscounts
-of Marseilles to Charles of Anjou, count of Provence, and brother of St
-Louis (the latter landed here in 1254, on his return from Egypt). The
-chateau was dismantled by Henri IV., but thanks to its walls, the town
-resisted in 1707 an attack made by the duke of Savoy.

-
-HYGIEIA, in Greek mythology, the goddess of health. It seems probable
-that she was originally an abstraction, subsequently personified, rather
-than an independent divinity of very ancient date. The question of the
-original home of her worship has been much discussed. The oldest traces
-of it, so far as is known at present, are to be found at Titane in the
-territory of Sicyon, where she was worshipped together with Asclepius,
-to whom she appears completely assimilated, not an independent
-personality. Her cult was not introduced at Epidaurus till a late date,
-and therefore, when in 420 B.C. the worship of Asclepius was introduced
-at Athens coupled with that of Hygieia, it is not to be inferred that
-she accompanied him from Epidaurus, or that she is a Peloponnesian
-importation at all. It is most probable that she was invented at the
-time of the introduction of Asclepius, after the sufferings caused by
-the plague had directed special attention to sanitary matters. The
-already existing worship of Athena Hygieia had nothing to do with
-Hygieia the goddess of health, but merely denoted the recognition of the
-power of healing as one of the attributes of Athena, which gradually
-became crystallized into a concrete personality. At first no special
-relationship existed between Asclepius and Hygieia, but gradually she
-came to be regarded as his daughter, the place of his wife being already
-secured by Epione. Later Orphic hymns, however, and Herodas iv. 1-9,
-make her the wife of Asclepius. The cult of Hygieia then spread
-concurrently with that of Asclepius, and was introduced at Rome from
-Epidaurus in 293, by which time she may have been admitted (which was
-not the case before) into the Epidaurian family of the god. Her proper
-name as a Romanized Greek importation was Valetudo, but she was
-gradually identified with Salus, an older genuine Italian divinity, to
-whom a temple had already been erected in 302. While in classical times
-Asclepius and Hygieia are simply the god and goddess of health, in the
-declining years of paganism they are protecting divinities generally,
-who preserve mankind not only from sickness but from all dangers on land
-and sea. In works of art Hygieia is represented, together with
-Asclepius, as a maiden of benevolent appearance, wearing the chiton and
-giving food or drink to a serpent out of a dish.

-
-
-HYGIENE (Fr. _hygiene_, from Gr. [Greek: hygiainein], to be healthy),
-the science of preserving health, its practical aim being to render
-"growth more perfect, decay less rapid, life more vigorous, death more
-remote." The subject is thus a very wide one, embracing all the agencies
-which affect the physical and mental well-being of man, and it requires
-acquaintance with such diverse sciences as physics, chemistry, geology,
-engineering, architecture, meteorology, epidemiology, bacteriology and
-statistics. On the personal or individual side it involves consideration
-of the character and quality of food and of water and other beverages;
-of clothing; of work, exercise and sleep; of personal cleanliness, of
-special habits, such as the use of tobacco, narcotics, &c.; and of
-control of sexual and other passions. In its more general and public
-aspects it must take cognizance of meteorological conditions, roughly
-included under the term climate; of the site or soil on which dwellings
-are placed; of the character, materials and arrangement of dwellings,
-whether regarded individually or in relation to other houses among which
-they stand; of their heating and ventilation; of the removal of excreta
-and other effete matters; of medical knowledge relating to the incidence
-and prevention of disease; and of the disposal of the dead.

- FOOD, FOOD-PRESERVATION, ADULTERATION, WATER, HEATING, VENTILATION,

-HYGINUS (surnamed GROMATICUS, from _gruma_, a surveyor's measuring-rod),

-HYGINUS, GAIUS JULIUS, Latin author, a native of Spain (or Alexandria),
-was a pupil of the famous Cornelius Alexander Polyhistor and a freedman
-of Augustus, by whom he was made superintendent of the Palatine library
-(Suetonius, _De Grammaticis_, 20). He is said to have fallen into great
-poverty in his old age, and to have been supported by the historian
-Clodius Licinus. He was a voluminous author, and his works included
-topographical and biographical treatises, commentaries on Helvius Cinna
-and the poems of Virgil, and disquisitions on agriculture and
-bee-keeping. All these are lost.
-
- Under the name of Hyginus two school treatises on mythology are
- extant: (1) _Fabularum Liber_, some 300 mythological legends and
- celestial genealogies, valuable for the use made by the author of the
- works of Greek tragedians now lost; (2) _De Astronomia_, usually
- called _Poetica Astronomica_, containing an elementary treatise on
- astronomy and the myths connected with the stars, chiefly based on the
- [Greek: Katasterismoi] of Eratosthenes. Both are abridgments and both
- are by the same hand; but the style and Latinity and the elementary
- mistakes (especially in the rendering of the Greek originals) are held
- to prove that they cannot have been the work of so distinguished a
- scholar as C. Julius Hyginus. It is suggested that these treatises are
- an abridgment (made in the latter half of the 2nd century) of the
- _Genealogiae_ of Hyginus by an unknown grammarian, who added a
- complete treatise on mythology.

-HYGROMETER (Gr. [Greek: hygros], moist, [Greek: metron], a measure), an
-instrument for measuring the absolute or relative amount of moisture in
-the atmosphere; an instrument which only qualitatively determines
-changes in the humidity is termed a "hygroscope." The earlier
-instruments generally depended for their action on the contraction or
-extension of substances when exposed to varying degrees of moisture;
-catgut, hair, twisted cords and wooden laths, all of which contract with
-an increase in the humidity and vice versa, being the most favoured
-materials. The familiar "weather house" exemplifies this property. This
-toy consists of a house provided with two doors, through which either a
-man or woman appears according as the weather is about to be wet or
-fine. This action is effected by fixing a catgut thread to the base on
-which the figures are mounted, in such a manner that contraction of the
-thread rotates the figures so that the man appears and extension so that
-the woman appears.

-HYKSOS, or "SHEPHERD KINGS," the name of the earliest invaders of Egypt
-of whom we have definite evidence in tradition. Josephus (c. _Apion._ i.
-14), who identifies the Hyksos with the Israelites, preserves a passage
-from the second book of Manetho giving an account of them. (It may be
-that Josephus had it, not direct from Manetho's writings, but through
-the garbled version of some Alexandrine compiler.) In outline it is as
-follows. In the days of a king of Egypt named Timaeus the land was
-suddenly invaded from the east by men of ignoble race, who conquered it
-without a struggle, destroyed cities and temples, and slew or enslaved
-the inhabitants. At length they elected a king named Salatis, who,
-residing at Memphis, made all Egypt tributary, and established garrisons
-in different parts, especially eastwards, fearing the Assyrians. He
-built also a great fortress at Avaris, in the Sethroite nome, east of
-the Bubastite branch of the Nile. Salatis was followed in succession by
-Beon, Apachnas, Apophis, Jannas and Asses. These six kings reigned 198
-years and 10 months, and all aimed at extirpating the Egyptians. Their
-whole race was named Hyksos, i.e. "shepherd kings," and some say they
-were Arabs (another explanation found by Josephus is "captive
-shepherds"). When they and their successors had held Egypt for 511
-years, the kings of the Thebais and other parts of Egypt rebelled, and a
-long and mighty war began. Misphragmuthosis worsted the "Shepherds" and
-shut them up in Avaris; and his son Thutmosis, failing to capture the
-stronghold, allowed them to depart; whereupon they went forth, 240,000
-in number, established themselves in Judea and built Jerusalem.
-
-In Manetho's list of kings, the six above named (with many variations in
-detail) form the XVth dynasty, and are called "six foreign Phoenician
-kings." The XVIth dynasty is of thirty-two "Hellenic (_sic?_) shepherd
-kings," the seventeenth is of "shepherds and Theban kings" (reigning
-simultaneously). The lists vary greatly in different versions, but the
-above seems the most reasonable selection of readings to be made. For
-"Hellenic" see below. The supposed connexion with the Israelites has
-made the problem of the Hyksos attractive, but light is coming upon it
-very slowly. In 1847 E. de Rouge proved from a fragment of a story in
-the papyri of the British Museum, that Apopi was one of the latest of
-the Hyksos kings, corresponding to Aphobis; he was king of the "pest"
-and suppressed the worship of the Egyptian gods, and endeavoured to make
-the Egyptians worship his god Setekh or Seti; at the same time an
-Egyptian named Seqenenre reigned in Thebes, more or less subject to
-Aphobis. The city of Hawari (Avaris) was also mentioned in the fragment.
-
-In 1850 a record of the capture of this city from the Hyksos by Ahmosi,
-the founder of the eighteenth dynasty, was discovered by the same
-scholar. A large class of monuments was afterwards attributed to the
-Hyksos, probably in error. Some statues and sphinxes, found in 1861 by
-Mariette at Tanis (in the north-east of the Delta), which had been
-usurped by later kings, had peculiar "un-Egyptian" features. One of
-these bore the name of Apopi engraved lightly on the shoulder; this was
-evidently a usurper's mark, but from the whole circumstances it was
-concluded that these, and others of the same type of features found
-elsewhere, must have belonged to the Hyksos. This view held the field
-until 1893, when Golenischeff produced an inferior example bearing its
-original name, which showed that in this case it represented Amenemhe
-III. In consequence it is now generally believed that they all belong to
-the twelfth dynasty. Meanwhile a headless statue of a king named Khyan,
-found at Bubastis, was attributed on various grounds to the Hyksos, the
-soundest arguments being his foreign name and the boastful un-Egyptian
-epithet "beloved of his _ka_," where "beloved of Ptah" or some other god
-was to be expected. His name was immediately afterwards recognized on a
-lion found as far away from Egypt as Bagdad. Flinders Petrie then
-pointed out a group of kings named on scarabs of peculiar type, which,
-including Khyan, he attributed to the period between the Old Kingdom and
-the New, while others were in favour of assigning them all to the
-Hyksos, whose appellation seemed to be recognizable in the title
-Hek-khos, "ruler of the barbarians," borne by Khyan. The extraordinary
-importance of Khyan was further shown by the discovery of his name on a
-jar-lid at Cnossus in Crete. Semitic features were pointed out in the
-supposed Hyksos names, and Petrie was convinced of their date by his
-excavations of 1905-1906 in the eastern Delta. Avaris is generally
-assigned to the region towards Pelusium on the strength of its being
-located in the Sethroite nome by Josephus, but Petrie thinks it was at
-Tell el-Yahudiyeh (Yehudia), where Hyksos scarabs are common. From the
-remains of fortifications there he argues that the Hyksos were
-uncivilized desert people, skilled in the use of the bow, and must thus
-have destroyed by their archery the Egyptian armies trained to fight
-hand-to-hand; further, that their hordes were centered in Syria, but
-were driven thence by a superior force in the East to take refuge in the
-islands and became a sea-power--whence the strange description
-"Hellenic" in Manetho, which most editors have corrected to [Greek:
-alloi], "others." Besides the statue of Khyan, blocks of granite with
-the name of Apopi have been found in Upper Egypt at Gebelen and in
-Lower Egypt at Bubastis. The celebrated Rhind mathematical papyrus was
-copied in the reign of an Apopi from an original of the time of Amenemhe
-III. Large numbers of Hyksos scarabs are found in Upper and Lower Egypt,
-and they are not unknown in Palestine. Khyan's monuments, inconspicuous
-as they are, actually extend over a wider area--from Bagdad to
-Cnossus--than those of any other Egyptian king.
-
-It is certain that this mysterious people were Asiatic, for they are
-called so by the Egyptians. Though Seth was an Egyptian god, as god of
-the Hyksos he represents some Asiatic deity. The possibility of a
-connexion between the Hyksos and the Israelites is still admitted in
-some quarters. Hatred of these impious foreigners, of which there is
-some trace in more than one text, aroused amongst the Egyptians (as
-nothing ever did before or since) that martial spirit which carried the
-armies of Tethmosis to the Euphrates.

-HYLAS, In Greek legend, son of Theiodamas, king of the Dryopians in
-Thessaly, the favourite of Heracles and his companion on the Argonautic
-expedition. Having gone ashore at Kios in Mysia to fetch water, he was
-carried off by the nymphs of the spring in which he dipped his pitcher.
-Heracles sought him in vain, and the answer of Hylas to his
-thrice-repeated cry was lost in the depths of the water. Ever
-afterwards, in memory of the threat of Heracles to ravage the land if
-Hylas were not found, the inhabitants of Kios every year on a stated day
-roamed the mountains, shouting aloud for Hylas (Apollonius Rhodius i.
-1207; Theocritus xiii.; Strabo xii. 564; Propertius i. 20; Virgil,
-_Ecl._ vi. 43). But, although the legend is first told in Alexandrian
-times, the "cry of Hylas" occurs long before as the "Mysian cry" in
-Aeschylus (_Persae_, 1054), and in Aristophanes (_Plutus_, 1127) "to cry
-Hylas" is used proverbially of seeking something in vain. Hylas, like
-Adonis and Hyacinthus, represents the fresh vegetation of spring, or the
-water of a fountain, which dries up under the heat of summer. It is
-suggested that Hylas was a harvest deity and that the ceremony gone
-through by the Kians was a harvest festival, at which the figure of a
-boy was thrown into the water, signifying the dying vegetation-spirit of
-the year.

-HYLOZOISM (Gr. [Greek: hyle], matter, [Greek: zoe], life), in
-philosophy, a term applied to any system which explains all life,
-whether physical or mental, as ultimately derived from matter ("cosmic
-matter," _Weldstoff_). Such a view of existence has been common
-throughout the history of thought, and especially among physical
-scientists. Thus the Ionian school of philosophy, which began with
-Thales, sought for the beginning of all things in various material
-substances, water, air, fire (see IONIAN SCHOOL). These substances were
-regarded as being in some sense alive, and taking some active part in
-the development of being. This primitive hylozoism reappeared in
-modified forms in medieval and Renaissance thought, and in modern times
-the doctrine of materialistic monism is its representative. Between
-modern materialism and hylozoism proper there is, however, the
-distinction that the ancients, however vaguely, conceived the elemental
-matter as being in some sense animate if not actually conscious and
-conative.

-HYMEN, or HYMENAEUS, originally the name of the song sung at marriages
-among the Greeks. As usual the name gradually produced the idea of an
-actual person whose adventures gave rise to the custom of this song. He
-occurs often in association with Linus and Ialemus, who represent
-similar personifications, and is generally called a son of Apollo and a
-Muse. As the son of Dionysus and Aphrodite, he was regarded as a god of
-fruitfulness. In Attic legend he was a beautiful youth who, being in
-love with a girl, followed her in a procession to Eleusis disguised as a
-woman, and saved the whole band from pirates. As reward he obtained the
-girl in marriage, and his happy married life caused him ever afterwards
-to be invoked in marriage songs (Servius on Virgil, _Aen._ i. 651).
-According to another story, he was a youth who was killed by the fall of
-his house on his wedding day; hence he was invoked, to propitiate him
-and avert a similar fate from others (Servius, loc. cit.). He is
-represented in works of art as an effeminate-looking, winged youth,
-carrying a bridal torch and wearing a nuptial veil. The marriage song
-was sung, with musical accompaniment, during the procession of the bride
-from her parents' house to that of the bridegroom, Hymenaeus being
-invoked at the end of each portion.

-HYMENOPTERA (Gr. [Greek: hymen], a membrane, and [Greek: pteron], a
-wing), a term used in zoological classification for one of the most
-important orders of the class _Hexapoda_ (q.v.). The order was founded
-by Linnaeus (_Systema Naturae_, 1735), and is still recognized by all
-naturalists in the sense proposed by him, to include the saw-flies,
-gall-flies, ichneumon-flies and their allies, ants, wasps and bees. The
-relationship of the Hymenoptera to other orders of insects is discussed
-in the article HEXAPODA, but it may be mentioned here that in structure
-the highest members of the order are remarkably specialized, and that in
-the perfection of their instincts they stand at the head of all insects
-and indeed of all invertebrate animals. About 30,000 species of
-Hymenoptera are now known.

-
- _Characters._--In all Hymenoptera the mandibles (fig. 1, C, D) are
- well developed, being adapted, as in the more lowly winged insects,
- such as the Orthoptera, for biting. The more generalized Hymenoptera
- have the second maxillae but slightly modified, their inner lobes
- being fused to form a _ligula_ (fig. 1, B, b). In the higher families
- this structure becomes elongated (fig. 2, g) so as to form an
- elaborate sucking-organ or "tongue." These insects are able,
- therefore, to bite as well as to suck, whereas most insects which have
- acquired the power of suction have lost that of biting. Both fore- and
- hind-wings are usually present, both pairs being membranous, the
- hind-wings small and not folded when at rest, each provided along the
- costa with a row of curved hooks which catch on to a fold along the
- dorsum of the adjacent fore-wing during flight. A large number of
- Hymenoptera are, however, entirely wingless--at least as regards one
- sex or form of the species. One of the most remarkable features is the
- close union of the foremost abdominal segment (fig. 3, i.) with the
- metathorax, of which it often seems to form a part, the apparent first
- abdominal segment being, in such case, really the second (fig. 3,
- ii.). The true first segment, which undergoes a more or less complete
- fusion with the thorax is known as the "median segment" or
- _propodeum_. In female Hymenoptera the typical insectan ovipositor
- with its three pairs of processes is well developed, and in the higher
- families this organ becomes functional as a sting (fig. 5),--used for
- offence and defence. As regards their life history, all Hymenoptera
- undergo a "complete" metamorphosis. The larva is soft-skinned
- (eruciform), being either a caterpillar (fig. 6, b) or a legless grub
- (fig. 7, a), and the pupa is free (fig. 7, c), i.e. with the
- appendages not fixed to the body, as is the case in the pupa of most
- moths.

-
- _Structure._--The head of a hymenopterous insect bears three simple
- eyes (ocelli) on the front and vertex in addition to the large
- compound eyes. The feelers are generally simple in type, rarely
- showing serrations or prominent appendages; but one or two basal
- segments are frequently differentiated to form an elongate "scape,"
- the remaining segments--carried at an elbowed angle to the
- scape--making up the "flagellum"; the segments of the flagellum often
- bear complex sensory organs. The general characters of the jaws have
- been mentioned above, and in detail there is great variation in these
- organs among the different families. The sucking tongue of the
- Hymenoptera has often been compared with the hypopharynx of other
- insects. According to D. Sharp, however, the hypopharynx is present in
- all Hymenoptera as a distinct structure at the base of the "tongue,"
- which must be regarded as representing the fused laciniae of the
- second maxillae. In the thorax the pronotum and prosternum are closely
- associated with the mesothorax, but the pleura of the prothorax are
- usually shifted far forwards, so that the fore-legs are inserted just
- behind the head. A pair of small plates--the tegulae--are very
- generally present at the bases of the fore-wings. The union of the
- first abdominal segment with the metathorax has been already
- mentioned. The second (so-called "first") abdominal segment is often
- very constricted, forming the "waist" so characteristic of wasps and
- ants for example. The constriction of this segment and its very
- perfect articulation with the propodeum give great mobility to the
- abdomen, so that the ovipositor or sting can be used with the greatest
- possible accuracy and effect.
-
- Mention has already been made of the series of curved hooks along the
- costa of the hind-wing; by means of this arrangement the two wings of
- a side are firmly joined together during flight, which thus becomes
- particularly accurate. The wings in the Hymenoptera show a marked
- reduction in the number of nervures as compared with more primitive
- insects. The main median nervure, and usually also the sub-costal
- become united with the radial, while the branches of radial, median
- and cubital nervures pursuing a transverse or recurrent course across
- the wing, divide its area into a number of areolets or "cells," that
- are of importance in classification. Among many of the smaller
- Hymenoptera we find that the wings are almost destitute of nervures.
- In the hind-wings--on account of their reduced size--the nervures are
- even more reduced than in the fore-wings.
-
- The legs of Hymenoptera are of the typical insectan form, and the foot
- is usually composed of five segments. In many families the trochanter
- appears to be represented by two small segments, there being thus an
- extra joint in the leg. It is almost certain that the distal of these
- two segments really belongs to the thigh, but the ordinary
- nomenclature will be used in the present article, as this character is
- of great importance in discriminating families, and the two segments
- in question are referred to the trochanter by most systematic writers.

- processes of the 9th segment. The stylet A (process of the 8th
- abdominal segment--8) is turned over to show its groove a, which works
- along the tongue or rail b.]
-
- The typical insectan ovipositor, so well developed among the
- Hymenoptera, consists of three pairs of processes (gonapophyses) two
- of which belong to the ninth abdominal segment and one to the eighth.
- The latter are the cutting or piercing stylets (fig. 5, A) of the
- ovipositor, while the two outer processes of the ninth segment are
- modified into sheaths or feelers (fig. 5, C) and the two inner
- processes form a guide (fig. 5, B) on which the stylets work, tongues
- or rails on the "guide" fitting accurately into longitudinal grooves
- on the stylet. In the different families of the Hymenoptera, there are
- various modifications of the ovipositor, in accord with the habits of
- the insects and the purposes to which the organ is put. The sting of
- wasps, ants and bees is a modified ovipositor and is used for
- egg-laying by the fertile females, as well as for defence. Most male
- Hymenoptera have processes which form claspers or genital armature.
- These processes are not altogether homologous with those of the
- ovipositor, being formed by inner and outer lobes of a pair of
- structures on the ninth abdominal segment.
-
- Many points of interest are to be noted in the internal structure of
- the Hymenoptera. The gullet leads into a moderate-sized crop, and
- several pairs of salivary glands open into the mouth. The crop is
- followed by a proventriculus which, in the higher Hymenoptera, forms
- the so-called "honey stomach," by the contraction of whose wails the
- solid and liquid food can be separated, passed on into the digestive
- stomach, or held in the crop ready for regurgitation into the mouth.
- Behind the digestive stomach are situated, as usual, intestine and
- rectum, and the number of kidney (Malpighian) tubes varies from only
- six to over a hundred, being usually great.
-
- In the female, each ovary consists of a large number of ovarian tubes,
- in which swollen chambers containing the egg-cells alternate with
- smaller chambers enclosing nutrient material. In connexion with the
- ovipositor are two poison-glands, one acid and the other alkaline in
- its secretion. The acid gland consists of one, two or more tubes, with
- a cellular coat of several layers, opening into a reservoir whence
- the duct leads to the exterior. The alkaline gland is an irregular
- tube with a single cellular layer, its duct opening alongside that of
- the acid reservoir. These glands are most strongly developed when the
- ovipositor is modified into a sting.
-
- _Development._--Parthenogenesis is of normal occurrence in the
- life-cycle of many Hymenoptera. There are species of gall-fly in which
- males are unknown, the unfertilized eggs always developing into
- females. On the other hand, in certain saw-flies and among the higher
- families, the unfertilized eggs, capable of development, usually give
- rise to male insects (see BEE). The larvae of most saw-flies feeding
- on the leaves of plants are caterpillars (fig. 6, b) with numerous
- abdominal pro-legs, but in most families of Hymenoptera the egg is
- laid in such a situation that an abundant food-supply is assured
- without exertion on the part of the larva, which is consequently a
- legless grub, usually white in colour, and with soft flexible cuticle
- (fig. 7, a). The organs and instincts for egg-laying and
- food-providing are perhaps the most remarkable features in the economy
- of the Hymenoptera. Gall-fly grubs are provided with vegetable food
- through the eggs being laid by the mother insect within plant tissues.
- The ichneumon pierces the body of a caterpillar and lays her eggs
- where the grubs will find abundant animal food. A digging-wasp hunts
- for insect prey and buries it with the egg, while a true wasp feeds
- her brood with captured insects, as a bird her fledglings. Bees store
- honey and pollen to serve as food for their young. Thus we find
- throughout the order a degree of care for offspring unreached by other
- insects, and this family-life has, in the best known of the
- Hymenoptera--ants, wasps and bees--developed into an elaborate social
- organization.
-
-_Social Life._--The development of a true insect society among the
-Hymenoptera is dependent on a differentiation among the females between
-individuals with well-developed ovaries ("queens") whose special
-function is reproduction; and individuals with reduced or aborted
-ovaries ("workers") whose duty is to build the nest, to gather food and
-to tend and feed the larvae. Among the wasps the workers may only differ
-from the queens in size, and individuals intermediate between the two
-forms of female may be met with. Further, the queen wasp, and also the
-queen humble-bee, commences unaided the work of building and founding a
-new nest, being afterwards helped by her daughters (the workers) when
-these have been developed. In the hive-bee and among ants, on the other
-hand, there are constant structural distinctions between queen and
-worker, and the function of the queen bee in a hive is confined to
-egg-laying, the labour of the community being entirely done by the
-workers. Many ants possess several different forms of worker, adapted
-for special duties. Details of this fascinating subject are given in the
-special articles ANT, BEE and WASP (q.v.).
-
-_Habits and Distribution._--Reference has been already made to the
-various methods of feeding practised by Hymenoptera in the larval stage,
-and the care taken of or for the young throughout the order leads in
-many cases to the gathering of such food by the mother or nurse. Thus,
-wasps catch flies; worker ants make raids and carry off weak insects of
-many kinds; bees gather nectar from flowers and transform it into honey
-within their stomachs--largely for the sake of feeding the larvae in the
-nest. The feeding habits of the adult may agree with that of the larva,
-or differ, as in the ease of wasps which feed their grubs on flies, but
-eat principally vegetable food themselves. The nest-building habit is
-similarly variable. Digging wasps make simple holes in the ground; many
-burrowing bees form branching tunnels; other bees excavate timber or
-make their brood-chambers in hollow plant-stems; wasps work up with
-their saliva vegetable fibres bitten off tree-bark to make paper; social
-bees produce from glands in their own bodies the wax whence their
-nest-chambers are built. The inquiline habit ("cuckoo-parasitism"), when
-one species makes use of the labour of another by invading the nest and
-laying her eggs there, is of frequent occurrence among Hymenoptera; and
-in some cases the larva of the intruder is not content with taking the
-store of food provided, but attacks and devours the larva of the host.
-
-Most Hymenoptera are of moderate or small size, the giants of the
-order--certain saw-flies and tropical digging-wasps--never reach the bulk
-attained by the largest beetles, while the wing-spread is narrow compared
-with that of many dragon-flies and moths. On the other hand, there are
-thousands of very small species, and the tiny "fairy-flies"
-(_Mymaridae_), whose larvae live as parasites in the eggs of various
-insects, are excessively minute for creatures of such complex
-organization. Hymenoptera are probably less widely distributed than
-Aptera, Coleoptera or Diptera, but they are to be found in all except the
-most inhospitable regions of the globe. The order is, with few
-exceptions, terrestrial or aerial in habit. Comparatively only a few
-species are, for part of their lives, denizens of fresh water; these, as
-larvae, are parasitic on the eggs or larvae of other aquatic insects, the
-little hymenopteron, _Polynema natans_, one of the "fairy-flies"--swims
-through the water by strokes of her delicate wings in search of a
-dragon-fly's egg in which to lay her own egg, while the rare _Agriotypus_
-dives after the case of a caddis-worm. It is of interest that the waters
-have been invaded by the parasitic group of the Hymenoptera, since in
-number of species this is by far the largest of the order. No group of
-terrestrial insects escapes their attacks--even larvae boring in wood are
-detected by ichneumon flies with excessively long ovipositors. Not a few
-cases are known in which a parasitic larva is itself pierced by the
-ovipositor of a "hyperparasite," and even the offspring of the latter may
-itself fall a victim to the attack of a "tertiary parasite."
-
- _Fossil History._--Very little is known of the history of the
- Hymenoptera previous to the Tertiary epoch, early in which, as we know
- from the evidence of many Oligocene and Miocene fossils, all the more
- important families had been differentiated. Fragments of wings from
- the Lias and Oolitic beds have been referred to ants and bees, but the
- true nature of these remains is doubtful.
-
-_Classification._--Linnaeus divided the Hymenoptera into two
-sections--the Terebrantia, whose females possess a cutting or piercing
-ovipositor, and the Aculeata, in which the female organ is modified into
-a sting. This nomenclature was adopted by P. A. Latreille and has been
-in general use until the present day. A closely similar division of the
-order results from T. Hartig's character drawn from the
-trochanter--whether of two segments or undivided--the groups being
-termed respectively Ditrocha and Monotrocha. But the most natural
-division is obtained by the separation of the saw-flies as a primitive
-sub-order, characterized by the imperfect union of the first abdominal
-segment with the thorax, and by the broad base of the abdomen, so that
-there is no median constriction or "waist," and by the presence of
-thoracic legs--usually also of abdominal pro-legs--in the larva. All the
-other families of Hymenoptera, including the gall-flies, ichneumons and
-aculeates, have the first abdominal segment closely united with the
-thorax, the second abdominal segment constricted so as to form a narrow
-stalk or "waist," and legless larvae without a hinder outlet to the
-food-canal. These two sub-orders are usually known as the
-_Sessiliventra_ and _Petioliventra_ respectively, but the names
-_Symphyta_ and _Apocrita_ proposed in 1867 by C. Gerstaecker have
-priority, and should not be replaced.

- This sub-order, characterized by the "sessile," broad-based abdomen,
- whose first segment is imperfectly united with the thorax, and by the
- usually caterpillar-like larvae with legs, includes the various groups
- of saw-flies. Three leading families may be mentioned. The _Cephidae_,
- or stem saw-flies, have an elongate pronotum, a compressed abdomen,
- and a single spine on the shin of the fore-leg. The soft, white larvae
- have the thoracic legs very small and feed in the stems of various
- plants. _Cephus pygmaeus_ is a well-known enemy of corn crops. The
- _Siricidae_ ("wood-wasps") are large elongate insects also with one
- spine on each fore-shin, but with the pronotum closely joined to the
- mesothorax. The ovipositor is long and prominent, enabling the female
- insect to lay her eggs in the wood of trees, where the white larvae,
- whose legs are excessively short, tunnel and feed. These insects are
- adorned with bands of black and yellow, or with bright metallic
- colours, and on account of their large size and formidable ovipositors
- they often cause needless alarm to persons unfamiliar with their
- habits. The _Tenthredinidae_, or true saw-flies, are distinguished by
- two spines on each fore-shin, while the larvae are usually
- caterpillars, with three pairs of thoracic legs, and from six to eight
- pairs of abdominal pro-legs the latter not possessing the hooks found
- on the pro-legs of lepidopterous caterpillars. Most saw-fly larvae
- devour leaves, and the beautifully serrate processes of the ovipositor
- are well adapted for egg-laying in plant tissues. Some saw-fly larvae
- are protected by a slimy secretion (fig. 6, c) and a few live
- concealed in galls. In the form of the feelers, the wing-neuration and
- minor structural details there is much diversity among the saw-flies.
- They have been usually regarded as a single family, but W. H. Ashmead
- has lately differentiated eleven families of them.
-
-
- _Apocrita._
-
- This sub-order includes the vast majority of the Hymenoptera,
- characterized by the narrowly constricted waist in the adult and by
- the legless condition of the larva. The trochanter is simple in some
- genera and divided in others. With regard to the minor divisions of
- this group, great difference of opinion has prevailed among students.
- In his recent classification Ashmead (1901) recognizes seventy-nine
- families arranged under eight "super-families." The number of species
- included in this division is enormous, and the multiplication of
- families is, to some extent, a natural result of increasingly close
- study. But the distinctions between many of these rest on
- comparatively slight characters, and it is likely that the future
- discovery of new genera may abolish many among such distinctions as
- may now be drawn. It seems advisable, therefore, in the present
- article to retain the wider conception of the family that has hitherto
- contented most writers on the Hymenoptera. Ashmead's "super-families"
- have, however, been adopted as--founded on definite structural
- characters--they probably indicate relationship more nearly than the
- older divisions founded mostly on habit. The Cynipoidea include the
- gall-flies and their parasitic relations. In the Chalcidoidea,
- Ichneumonoidea and Proctotrypoidea will be found nearly all the
- "parasitic Hymenoptera" of older classifications. The Formicoidea are
- the ants. The group of Fossores, or "digging-wasps," is divided by
- Ashmead, one section forming the Sphecoidea, while the other, together
- with the Chrysidae and the true wasps, make up the Vespoidea. The
- Apoidea consists of the bees only.

-
- _Cynipoidea._--In this division the ovipositor issues from the ventral
- surface of the abdomen; the pronotum reaches back to the tegulae; the
- trochanter has two segments; the fore-wing (fig. 4, 2) has no stigma,
- but one or two areolets. The feelers with twelve to fifteen segments
- are thread-like and straight. All the insects included in this group
- are small and form two families--the Cynipidae and the Figitidae. They
- are the "gall-flies," many of the species laying eggs in various
- plant-tissues where the presence of the larva causes the formation of
- a pathological growth or gall, always of a definite form and
- characteristic of the species; the "oak-apple" and the bedeguar of
- the rose are familiar examples. Other flies of this group have the
- inquiline habit, laying their eggs in the galls of other species,
- while others again pierce the cuticle of maggots or aphids, in whose
- bodies their larvae live as parasites.
-
- _Chalcidoidea._--This division resembles the Cynipoidea in the
- position of the ovipositor, and in the two segmented trochanters. The
- fore-wing also has no stigma, and the whole wing is almost destitute
- of nervures and areolets, while the pronotum does not reach back to
- the tegulae, and the feelers are elbowed (fig. 7). The vast majority
- of this group, including nearly 5000 known species, are usually
- reckoned as a single family, the _Chalcididae_, comprising small
- insects, often of bright metallic colours, whose larvae are parasitic
- in insects of various orders. The "fig-insects," whose presence in
- ripening figs is believed essential to the proper development of the
- fruit, belong to _Blastophaga_ and other genera of this family. They
- are remarkable in having wingless males and winged females. The
- "polyembryonic" development of an _Encyrtus_, as studied by P.
- Marchal, is highly remarkable. The female lays her egg in the egg of a
- small ermine moth (_Hyponomeuta_) and the egg gives rise not to a
- single embryo but to a hundred, which develop as the host-caterpillar
- develops, being found at a later stage within the latter enveloped in
- a flexible tube.
-
- The _Mymaridae_ or "fairy-flies" are distinguished from the
- _Chalcididae_ by their narrow fringed wings (figs. 4, 5) and by the
- situation of the ovipositor just in front of the tip of the abdomen.
- They are among the most minute of all insects and their larvae are
- probably all parasitic in insects' eggs.
-
- [Illustration: After Riley and Howard, _Insect Life_, vol. i.
-
- FIG. 8.--Ichneumon Fly (_Rhyssa per-suasoria_) ovipositing.]
-
- _Ichneumonoidea._--The ten thousand known species included in this
- group agree with the Cynipoidea and Chalcidoidea in the position of
- the ovipositor and in the jointed trochanters, but are distinguished
- by the fore-wing possessing a distinct stigma and usually a typical
- series of nervures and areolets (figs. 4, 8). Many of the species are
- of fair size. They lay their eggs (fig. 8) in the bodies of insects
- and their larvae belonging to various orders. A few small families
- such as the _Evaniidae_ and the _Stephanidae_ are included here, but
- the vast majority of the group fall into two large families, the
- _Ichneumonidae_ and the _Braconidae_, the former distinguished by the
- presence of two median (or discoidal) cells in the fore-wing (figs. 4,
- 7), while the latter has only one (figs. 4, 6). Not a few of these
- insects, however, are entirely wingless. On account of their work in
- destroying plant-eating insects, the ichneumon-flies are of great
- economic importance.
-
- _Proctotrypoidea._--This group may be distinguished from the preceding
- by the position of the ovipositor at the extreme apex of the abdomen,
- and from the groups that follow (with very few exceptions) by the
- jointed trochanters of the legs. The pronotum reaches back to the
- tegulae. The _Pelecinidae_--included here by Ashmead--are large
- insects with remarkably elongate abdomens and undivided trochanters.
- All the other members of the group may be regarded as forming a single
- family--the _Proctotrypidae_, including an immense number of small
- parasitic Hymenoptera, not a few of which are wingless. Of special
- interest are the transformations of _Platygaster_, belonging to this
- family, discovered by M. Ganin, and familiarized to English readers
- through the writings of Sir J. Lubbock (Lord Avebury). The first larva
- is broad in front and tapers behind to a "tail" provided with two
- divergent processes, so that it resembles a small crustacean. It lives
- in the grub of a gall-midge and it ultimately becomes changed into the
- usual white and fleshy hymenopterous larva. The four succeeding
- sections, in which the ovipositor is modified into a sting (always
- exserted from the tip of the abdomen) and the trochanters are with few
- exceptions simple, form the _Aculeata_ of Linnaeus.
-
- _Formicoidea._--The ants which form this group are readily
- distinguished by the differentiation of the females into winged
- "queens" and wingless "workers." The pronotum extends back to the
- wing-bases, and the "waist" is greatly constricted and marked by one
- or two "nodes." The differentiation of the females leads to a complex
- social life, the nesting habits of ants and the various industries
- that they pursue being of surpassing interest (see ANT).
-
- _Vespoidea._--This section includes a number of families characterized
- by the backward extension of the prothorax to the tegulae and
- distinguished from the ants by the absence of "nodes" at the base of
- the abdomen. The true wasps have the fore-wings folded lengthwise when
- at rest and the fore-legs of normal build--not specialized for
- digging. The _Vespidae_ or social wasps have "queens" and "workers"
- like the ants, but both these forms of female are winged; the claws on
- their fret are simple. In the _Eumenidae_ or solitary wasps the female
- sex is undifferentiated, and the foot claws are toothed. (For the
- habits of these insects see WASP.) The _Chrysididae_ or ruby wasps are
- small insects with a very hard cuticle exhibiting brilliant metallic
- colours--blue, green and crimson. Only three or four abdominal
- segments are visible, the hinder segments being slender and retracted
- to form a telescope-like tube in which the ovipositor lies. When the
- ovipositor is brought into use this tube is thrust out. The eggs are
- laid in the nests of various bees and wasps, the chrysid larva living
- as a "cuckoo" parasite. The _Trigonalidae_, a small family whose
- larvae are parasitic in wasps' nests, also probably belong here.
-
- The other families of the _Vespoidea_ belong to the series of
- "Fossores" or digging-wasps. In two of the families--the _Mutillidae_
- and _Thynnidae_--the females are wingless and the larvae live as
- parasites in the larvae of other insects; the female _Mutilla_ enters
- bumble-bees' nests and lays her eggs in the bee-grubs. In the other
- families both sexes are winged, and the instinct and industry of the
- females are among the most wonderful in the Hymenoptera. They make
- burrows wherein they place insects or spiders which they have caught
- and stung, laying their eggs beside the victim so that the young
- larvae find themselves in presence of an abundant and appropriate
- food-supply. Valuable observations on the habits of these insects are
- due to J. H. Fabre and G. W. and E. Peckham. The prey is sometimes
- stung in the neighbourhood of the nerve ganglia, so that it is
- paralysed but not killed, the grub of the fossorial wasp devouring its
- victim alive; but this instinct varies in perfection, and in many
- cases the larva flourishes equally whether its prey be killed or not.
- The females have a wonderful power of finding their burrows on
- returning from their hunting expeditions. Among the Vespoid families
- of fossorial wasps, the _Pompilidae_ are the most important. They are
- recognizable by their slender and elongate hind-legs; many of them
- provision their burrows with spiders. The _Sapygidae_ are parasitic on
- bees, while the _Scoliidae_ are large, robust and hairy insects, many
- of which prey upon the grubs of chafers.
-
- _Sphecoidea._--In this division are included the rest of the
- "digging-wasps," distinguished from the _Vespoidea_ by the short
- pronotum not reaching backward to the tegulae. They have usually been
- reckoned as forming a single, very large family--the _Sphegidae_--but
- ten or twelve subdivisions of the group are regarded as distinct
- families by Ashmead and others. Great diversity is shown in the
- details of structure, habits and nature of the prey. Species of
- _Sphex_, studied by Fabre, provisioned their brood-chambers with
- crickets. _Pelopoeus_ hunts spiders, while _Ammophila_ catches
- caterpillars for the benefit of her young. Fabre states that the
- last-named insect uses a stone for the temporary closing of her
- burrow, and the Peckhams have seen a female _Ammophila_ take a stone
- between her mandibles and use it as a hammer for pounding down the
- earth over her finished nest. The habits of _Bembex_ are of especial
- interest. The female, instead of provisioning her burrow with a supply
- of food that will suffice the larva for its whole life, brings fresh
- flies with which she regularly feeds her young. In this instinct we
- have a correspondence with the habits of social wasps and bees. Yet it
- may be thought that the usual instinct of the "digging-wasps" to
- capture and store up food in an underground burrow for the benefit of
- offspring which they will never see is even more surprising. The habit
- of some genera is to catch the prey before making their tunnel, but
- more frequently the insect digs her nest, and then hunts for prey to
- put into it.
-
- _Apoidea._--The bees which make up this group agree with the
- Sphecoidea in the short pronotum, but may be distinguished from all
- other Hymenoptera by the widened first tarsal segment and the plumose
- hairs on head and body. They are usually regarded as forming a single
- family--the _Apidae_--but there is very great diversity in structural
- details, and Ashmead divides them into fourteen families. The
- "tongue," for example, is short and obtuse or emarginate in _Colletes_
- and _Prosopis_, while in all other bees it is pointed at the tip. But
- in _Andrena_ and its allies it is comparatively short, while in the
- higher genera, such as _Apis_ and _Bombus_, it is elongate and
- flexible, forming a most elaborate and perfect organ for taking liquid
- food. Bees feed on honey and pollen. Most of the genera are "solitary"
- in habit, the female sex being undifferentiated; but among the
- humble-bees and hive-bees we find, as in social wasps and ants, the
- occurrence of workers, and the consequent elaboration of a wonderful
- insect-society. (See BEE.)

-HYMETTUS (Ital. Monte Matto, hence the modern name Trello Vouni), a
-mountain in Attica, bounding the Athenian plain on the S.E. Height, 3370
-ft. It was famous in ancient times for its bees, which gathered honey of
-peculiar flavour from its aromatic herbs; their fame still persists. The
-spring mentioned by Ovid (_Ars Amat._ iii. 687) is probably to be
-recognized near the monastery of Syriani or Kaesariani on the western
-slope. This may be identical with that known as [Greek: Kyllon Pera],
-said to be a remedy for barrenness in women. The marble of Hymettus,
-which often has a bluish tinge, was used extensively for building in
-ancient Athens, and also, in early times, for sculpture; but the white
-marble of Pentelicus was preferred for both purposes.

-
-HYMNS.--1. _Classical Hymnody._--The word "hymn" ([Greek: hymnos]) was
-employed by the ancient Greeks[1] to signify a song or poem composed in
-honour of gods, heroes or famous men, or to be recited on some joyful,
-mournful or solemn occasion. Polymnia was the name of their lyric muse.
-Homer makes Alcinous entertain Odysseus with a "hymn" of the minstrel
-Demodocus, on the capture of Troy by the wooden horse. The _Works and
-Days_ of Hesiod begins with an invocation to the Muses to address hymns
-to Zeus, and in his _Theogonia_ he speaks of them as singing or
-inspiring "hymns" to all the divinities, and of the bard as "their
-servant, hymning the glories of men of old, and of the gods of Olympus."
-Pindar calls by this name odes, like his own, in praise of conquerors at
-the public games of Greece. The Athenian dramatists (Euripides most
-frequently) use the word and its cognate verbs in a similar manner; they
-also describe by them metrical oracles and apophthegms, martial, festal
-and hymeneal songs, dirges and lamentations or incantations of woe.
-
-Hellenic hymns, according to this conception of them, have come down to
-us, some from a very early and others from a late period of Greek
-classical literature. Those which passed by the name of Homer[2] were
-already old in the time of Thucydides. They are mythological poems
-(several of them long), in hexameter verse--some very interesting. That
-to Apollo contains a traditionary history of the origin and progress of
-the Delphic worship; those on Hermes and on Dionysus are marked by much
-liveliness and poetical fancy. Hymns of a like general character, but of
-less interest (though these also embody some fine poetical traditions of
-the Greek mythology, such as the story of Teiresias, and that of the
-wanderings of Leto), were written in the 3rd century before Christ, by
-Callimachus of Cyrene. Cleanthes, the successor of Zeno, composed (also
-in hexameters) an "excellent and devout hymn" (as it is justly called by
-Cudworth, in his _Intellectual System_) to Zeus, which is preserved in
-the _Eclogae_ of Stobaeus, and from which Aratus borrowed the words,
-"For we are also His offspring," quoted by St Paul at Athens. The
-so-called Orphic hymns, in hexameter verse, styled [Greek: teletai], or
-hymns of initiation into the "mysteries" of the Hellenic religion, are
-productions of the Alexandrian school,--as to which learned men are not
-agreed whether they are earlier or later than the Christian era.
-
-The Romans did not adopt the word "hymn"; nor have we many Latin poems
-of the classical age to which it can properly be applied. There are,
-however, a few--such as the simple and graceful "Dianae sumus in fide"
-("Dian's votaries are we") of Catullus, and "Dianam tenerae dicite
-virgines" ("Sing to Dian, gentle maidens") of Horace--which approach
-much more nearly than anything Hellenic to the form and character of
-modern hymnody.
-
-2. _Hebrew Hymnody._--For the origin and idea of Christian hymnody we
-must look, not to Gentile, but to Hebrew sources. St Augustine's
-definition of a hymn, generally accepted by Christian antiquity, may be
-summed up in the words, "praise to God with song" ("cum cantico"); Bede
-understood the "canticum" as properly requiring metre; though he thought
-that what in its original language was a true hymn might retain that
-character in an unmetrical translation. Modern use has enlarged the
-definition; Roman Catholic writers extend it to the praises of saints;
-and the word now comprehends rhythmical prose as well as verse, and
-prayer and spiritual meditation as well as praise.
-
-The modern distinction between psalms and hymns is arbitrary (see
-PSALMS). The former word was used by the LXX. as a generic designation,
-probably because it implied an accompaniment by the psaltery (said by
-Eusebius to have been of very ancient use in the East) or other
-instruments. The cognate verb "psallere" has been constantly applied to
-hymns, both in the Eastern and in the Western Church; and the same
-compositions which they described generically as "psalms" were also
-called by the LXX. "odes" (i.e. songs) and "hymns." The latter word
-occurs, e.g. in Ps. lxxii. 20 ("the hymns of David the son of Jesse"),
-in Ps. lxv. 1, and also in the Greek titles of the 6th, 54th, 55th, 67th
-and 76th (this numbering of the psalms being that of the English
-version, not of the LXX.). The 44th chapter of Ecclesiasticus, "Let us
-now praise famous men," &c., is entitled in the Greek [Greek: pateron
-hymnos], "The Fathers' Hymn." Bede speaks of the whole book of Psalms as
-called "liber hymnorum," by the universal consent of Hebrews, Greeks and
-Latins.
-
-In the New Testament we find our Lord and His apostles singing a hymn
-([Greek: hymnesantes exelthon]), after the institution of the Lord's
-Supper; St Paul and Silas doing the same ([Greek: hymnoun ton theon]) in
-their prison at Philippi; St James recommending psalm-singing ([Greek:
-psalleto]), and St Paul "psalms and hymns and spiritual songs" ([Greek:
-psalmois kai hymnois kai odais pneumatikais]) St Paul also, in the 14th
-chapter of the first epistle to the Corinthians, speaks of singing
-([Greek: psalo]) and of every man's psalm ([Greek: hekastos hymon
-psalmon echei]). In a context which plainly has reference to the
-assemblies of the Corinthian Christians for common worship. All the
-words thus used were applied by the LXX. to the Davidical psalms; it is
-therefore possible that these only may be intended, in the different
-places to which we have referred. But there are in St Paul's epistles
-several passages (Eph. v. 14; 1 Tim. iii. 16; 1 Tim. vi. 15, 16; 2 Tim.
-ii. 11, 12) which have so much of the form and character of later
-Oriental hymnody as to have been supposed by Michaelis and others to be
-extracts from original hymns of the Apostolic age. Two of them are
-apparently introduced as quotations, though not found elsewhere in the
-Scriptures. A third has not only rhythm, but rhyme. The thanksgiving
-prayer of the assembled disciples, recorded in Acts iv., is both in
-substance and in manner poetical; and in the canticles, "Magnificat,"
-"Benedictus," &c., which manifestly followed the form and style of
-Hebrew poetry, hymns or songs, proper for liturgical use, have always
-been recognized by the church.
-
-3. _Eastern Church Hymnody._--The hymn of our Lord, the precepts of the
-apostles, the angelic song at the nativity, and "Benedicite omnia opera"
-are referred to in a curious metrical prologue to the hymnary of the
-Mozarabic Breviary as precedents for the practice of the Western Church.
-In this respect, however, the Western Church followed the Eastern, in
-which hymnody prevailed from the earliest times.
-
-
- Therapeutae.
-
-Philo describes the Theraputae (q.v.) of the neighbourhood of Alexandria
-as composers of original hymns, which (as well as old) were sung at
-their great religious festivals--the people listening in silence till
-they came to the closing strains, or refrains, at the end of a hymn or
-stanza (the "acroteleutia" and "ephymnia"), in which all, women as well
-as men, heartily joined. These songs, he says, were in various metres
-(for which he uses a number of technical terms); some were choral, some
-not; and they were divided into variously constructed strophes or
-stanzas. Eusebius, who thought that the Theraputae were communities of
-Christians, says that the Christian practice of his own day was in exact
-accordance with this description.
-
-
- Antiphonal singing.
-
-The practice, not only of singing hymns, but of singing them
-antiphonally, appears, from the well-known letter of Pliny to Trajan, to
-have been established in the Bithynian churches at the beginning of the
-2nd century. They were accustomed "stato die ante lucem convenire,
-carmenque Christo, quasi Deo, dicere _secum invicem_." This agrees well,
-in point of time, with the tradition recorded by the historian Socrates,
-that Ignatius (who suffered martyrdom about A.D. 107) was led by a
-vision or dream of angels singing hymns in that manner to the Holy
-Trinity to introduce antiphonal singing into the church of Antioch, from
-which it quickly spread to other churches. There seems to be an allusion
-to choral singing in the epistle of Ignatius himself to the Romans,
-where he exhorts them, "[Greek: choros genomenoi]" ("having formed
-themselves into a choir"), to "sing praise to the Father in Christ
-Jesus." A statement of Theodoret has sometimes been supposed to refer
-the origin of antiphonal singing to a much later date; but this seems to
-relate only to the singing of Old Testament Psalms ([Greek: ten
-Dauidiken melodian]), the alternate chanting of which, by a choir
-divided into two parts, was (according to that statement) first
-introduced into the church of Antioch by two monks famous in the history
-of their time, Flavianus and Diodorus, under the emperor Constantius II.
-
-
- 2nd century.
-
- 3rd century.
-
-Other evidence of the use of hymns in the 2nd century is contained in a
-fragment of Caius, preserved by Eusebius, which refers to "all the
-psalms and odes written by faithful brethren from the beginning," as
-"hymning Christ, the Word of God, as God." Tertullian also, in his
-description of the "Agapae," or love-feasts, of his day, says that,
-after washing hands and bringing in lights, each man was invited to come
-forward and sing to God's praise something either taken from the
-Scriptures or of his own composition ("ut quisque de Sacris Scripturis
-vel proprio ingenio potest"). George Bull, bishop of St David's,
-believed one of those primitive compositions to be the hymn appended by
-Clement of Alexandria to his _Paedagogus_; and Archbishop Ussher
-considered the ancient morning and evening hymns, of which the use was
-enjoined by the _Apostolical Constitutions_, and which are also
-mentioned in the "Tract on Virginity" printed with the works of St
-Athanasius, and in St Basil's treatise upon the Holy Spirit, to belong
-to the same family. Clement's hymn, in a short anapaestic metre,
-beginning [Greek: stomion polon adaon] (or, according to some editions,
-[Greek: basileu hagion, loge pandamator]--translated by the Rev. A.
-Chatfield, "O Thou, the King of Saints, all-conquering Word"), is rapid,
-spirited and well-adapted for singing. The Greek "Morning Hymn" (which,
-as divided into verses by Archbishop Ussher in his treatise _De
-Symbolis_, has a majestic rhythm, resembling a choric or dithyrambic
-strophe) is the original form of "Gloria in Excelsis," still said or
-sung, with some variations, in all branches of the church which have not
-relinquished the use of liturgies. The Latin form of this hymn (of which
-that in the English communion office is an exact translation) is said,
-by Bede and other ancient writers, to have been brought into use at Rome
-by Pope Telesphorus, as early as the time of the emperor Hadrian. A
-third, the Vesper or "Lamp-lighting" hymn ("[Greek: phos hilaron hagias
-doxes]"--translated by Canon Bright "Light of Gladness, Beam Divine"),
-holds its place to this day in the services of the Greek rite. In the
-3rd century Origen seems to have had in his mind the words of some other
-hymns or hymn of like character, when he says (in his treatise _Against
-Celsus_): "We glorify in hymns God and His only begotten Son; as do also
-the Sun, the Moon, the Stars and all the host of heaven. All these, in
-one Divine chorus, with the just among men, glorify in hymns God who is
-over all, and His only begotten Son." So highly were these compositions
-esteemed in the Syrian churches that the council which deposed Paul of
-Samosata from the see of Antioch in the time of Aurelian justified that
-act, in its synodical letter to the bishops of Rome and Alexandria, on
-this ground (among others) that he had prohibited the use of hymns of
-that kind, by uninspired writers, addressed to Christ.
-
-After the conversion of Constantine, the progress of hymnody became
-closely connected with church controversies. There had been in Edessa,
-at the end of the 2nd or early in the 3rd century, a Gnostic writer of
-conspicuous ability, named Bardesanes, who was succeeded, as the head of
-his sect or school, by his son Harmonius. Both father and son wrote
-hymns, and set them to agreeable melodies, which acquired, and in the
-4th century still retained, much local popularity. Ephraem Syrus, the
-first voluminous hymn-writer whose works remain to us, thinking that the
-same melodies might be made useful to the faith, if adapted to more
-orthodox words, composed to them a large number of hymns in the Syriac
-language, principally in tetrasyllabic, pentasyllable and heptasyllabic
-metres, divided into strophes of from 4 to 12, 16 and even 20 lines
-each. When a strophe contained five lines, the fifth was generally an
-"ephymnium," detached in sense, and consisting of a prayer, invocation,
-doxology or the like, to be sung antiphonally, either in full chorus or
-by a separate part of the choir. The _Syriac Chrestomathy_ of August
-Hahn (Leipzig, 1825), and the third volume of H. A. Daniel's _Thesaurus
-Hymnologicus_ (Leipzig, 1841-1856), contain specimens of these hymns.
-Some of them have been translated into (unmetrical) English by the Rev.
-Henry Burgess (_Select Metrical Hymns of Ephrem Syrus_, &c., 1853). A
-considerable number of those so translated are on subjects connected
-with death, resurrection, judgment, &c., and display not only Christian
-faith and hope, but much simplicity and tenderness of natural feeling.
-Theodoret speaks of the spiritual songs of Ephraem as very sweet and
-profitable, and as adding much, in his (Theodoret's) time, to the
-brightness of the commemorations of martyrs in the Syrian Church.
-
-The Greek hymnody contemporary with Ephraem followed, with some licence,
-classical models. One of its favourite metres was the Anacreontic; but
-it also made use of the short anapaestic, Ionic, iambic and other
-lyrical measures, as well as the hexameter and pentameter. Its principal
-authors were Methodius, bishop of Olympus, who died about A.D. 311,
-Synesius, who became bishop of Ptolemais in Cyrenaica in 410, and
-Gregory Nazianzen, for a short time (380-381) patriarch of
-Constantinople. The merits of these writers have been perhaps too much
-depreciated by the admirers of the later Greek "Melodists." They have
-found an able English translator in the Rev. Allen Chatfield (_Songs and
-Hymns of Earliest Greek Christian Poets_, London, 1876). Among the most
-striking of their works are [Greek: mnoeo Christe] ("Lord Jesus, think
-of me"), by Synesius; [Greek: se ton aphthiton monarchen] ("O Thou, the
-One Supreme") and [Greek: ti soi theleis genesthai] ("O soul of mine,
-repining"), by Gregory; also [Greek: anothen parthenoi] ("The Bridegroom
-cometh"), by Methodius. There continued to be Greek metrical
-hymn-writers, in a similar style, till a much later date. Sophronius,
-patriarch of Jerusalem in the 7th century, wrote seven Anacreontic
-hymns; and St John Damascene, one of the most copious of the second
-school of "Melodists," was also the author of some long compositions in
-trimeter iambics.
-
-
- Period of Arian controversy.
-
-An important development of hymnody at Constantinople arose out of the
-Arian controversy. Early in the 4th century Athanasius had rebuked, not
-only the doctrine of Arius, but the light character of certain hymns by
-which he endeavoured to make that doctrine popular. When, towards the
-close of that century (398), St John Chrysostom was raised to the
-metropolitan see, the Arians, who were still numerous at Constantinople,
-had no places of worship within the walls; but they were in the habit of
-coming into the city at sunset on Saturdays, Sundays and the greater
-festivals, and congregating in the porticoes and other places of public
-resort, where they sung, all night through, antiphonal songs, with
-"acroteleutia" (closing strains, or refrains), expressive of Arian
-doctrine, often accompanied by taunts and insults to the orthodox.
-Chrysostom was apprehensive that this music might draw some of the
-simpler church people to the Arian side; he therefore organized, in
-opposition to it, under the patronage and at the cost of Eudoxia, the
-empress of Arcadius (then his friend), a system of nightly processional
-hymn-singing, with silver crosses, wax-lights and other circumstances of
-ceremonial pomp. Riots followed, with bloodshed on both sides, and with
-some personal injury to the empress's chief eunuch, who seems to have
-officiated as conductor or director of the church musicians. This led to
-the suppression, by an imperial edict, of all public Arian singing;
-while in the church the practice of nocturnal hymn-singing on certain
-solemn occasions, thus first introduced, remained an established
-institution.
-
-
- Greek system of hymnody.
-
-It is not improbable that some rudiments of the peculiar system of
-hymnody which now prevails throughout the Greek communion, and whose
-affinities are rather to the Hebrew and Syriac than to the classical
-forms, may have existed in the church of Constantinople, even at that
-time. Anatolius, patriarch of Constantinople in the middle of the 5th
-century, was the precursor of that system; but the reputation of being
-its proper founder belongs to Romanos, of whom little more is known than
-that he wrote hymns still extant, and lived towards the end of that
-century. The importance of that system in the services of the Greek
-church may be understood from the fact that Dr J. M. Neale computed
-four-fifths of the whole space (about 5000 pages) contained in the
-different service-books of that church to be occupied by hymnody, all in
-a language or dialect which has ceased to be anywhere spoken.
-
- The system has a peculiar technical terminology, in which the words
- "troparion," "ode," "canon" and "hirmus" ([Greek: eirmos]) chiefly
- require explanation.
-
- The _troparion_ is the unit of the system, being a strophe or stanza,
- seen, when analysed, to be divisible into verses or clauses, with
- regulated caesuras, but printed in the books as a single prose
- sentence, without marking any divisions. The following (turned into
- English, from a "canon" by John Mauropus) may be taken as an example:
- "The never-sleeping Guardian, | the patron of my soul, | the guide of
- my life, | allotted me by God, | I hymn thee, Divine Angel | of
- Almighty God." Dr Neale and most other writers regard all these
- "troparia" as rhythmical or modulated prose. Cardinal J. B. Pitra, on
- the other hand, who in 1867 and 1876 published two learned works on
- this subject, maintains that they are really metrical, and governed by
- definite rules of prosody, of which he lays down sixteen. According to
- him, each "troparion" contains from three to thirty-three verses; each
- verse varies from two to thirteen syllables, often in a continuous
- series, uniform, alternate or reciprocal, the metre being always
- syllabic, and depending, not on the quantity of vowels or the position
- of consonants, but on an harmonic series of accents.
-
- In various parts of the services solitary troparia are sung, under
- various names, "contacion," "oecos," "cathisma," &c., which mark
- distinctions either in their character or in their use.
-
- An _ode_ is a song or hymn compounded of several similar
- "troparia,"--usually three, four or five. To these is always prefixed
- a typical or standard "troparion," called the _hirmus_, by which the
- syllabic measure, the periodic series of accents, and in fact the
- whole structure and rhythm of the stanzas which follow it are
- regulated. Each succeeding "troparion" in the same "ode" contains the
- same number of verses, and of syllables in each verse, and similar
- accents on the same or equivalent syllables. The "hirmus" may either
- form the first stanza of the "ode" itself, or (as is more frequently
- the case) may be taken from some other piece; and, when so taken, it
- is often indicated by initial words only, without being printed at
- length. It is generally printed within commas, after the proper rubric
- of the "ode." A hymn in irregular "stichera" or stanzas, without a
- "hirmus," is called "idiomelon." A system of three or four odes is
- "triodion" or "tetraodion."
-
- A _canon_ is a system of eight (theoretically nine) connected odes,
- the second being always suppressed. Various pauses, relieved by the
- interposition of other short chants or readings, occur during the
- singing of a whole "canon." The final "troparion" in each ode of the
- series is not unfrequently detached in sense (like the "ephymnia" of
- Ephraem Syrus), particularly when it is in the (very common) form of a
- "theotokion," or ascription of praise to the mother of our Lord, and
- when it is a recurring refrain or burden.
-
-There were two principal periods of Greek hymnography constructed on
-these principles--the first that of Romanos and his followers, extending
-over the 6th and 7th centuries, the second that of the schools which
-arose during the Iconoclastic controversy in the 8th century, and which
-continued for some centuries afterwards, until the art itself died out.
-
-
- School of Romanos.
-
-The works of the writers of the former period were collected in
-_Tropologia_, or church hymn-books, which were held in high esteem till
-the 10th century, when they ceased to be regarded as church-books, and
-so fell into neglect. They are now preserved only in a very small number
-of manuscripts. From three of these, belonging to public libraries at
-Moscow, Turin and Rome, Cardinal Pitra has printed, in his _Analecta_, a
-number of interesting examples, the existence of which appears to have
-been unknown to Dr Neale, and which, in the cardinal's estimation, are
-in many respects superior to the "canons," &c., of the modern Greek
-service-books, from which all Neale's translations (except some from
-Anatolius) are taken. Cardinal Pitra's selections include twenty-nine
-works by Romanos, and some by Sergius, and nine other known, as well as
-some unknown, authors. He describes them as having generally a more
-dramatic character than the "melodies" of the later period, and a much
-more animated style; and he supposes that they may have been originally
-sung with dramatic accompaniments, by way of substitution for the
-theatrical performances of Pagan times. As an instance of their peculiar
-character, he mentions a Christmas or Epiphany hymn by Romanos, in
-twenty-five long strophes, in which there is, first, an account of the
-Nativity and its accompanying wonders, and then a dialogue between the
-wise men, the Virgin mother and Joseph. The magi arrive, are admitted,
-describe the moral and religious condition of Persia and the East, and
-the cause and adventures of their journey, and then offer their gifts.
-The Virgin intercedes for them with her Son, instructs them in some
-parts of Jewish history, and ends with a prayer for the salvation of the
-world.
-
-
- Melodists.
-
-The controversies and persecutions of the 8th and succeeding centuries
-turned the thoughts of the "melodists" of the great monasteries of the
-Studium at Constantinople and St Saba in Palestine and their followers,
-and those of the adherents of the Greek rite in Sicily and South Italy
-(who suffered much from the Saracens and the Normans), into a less
-picturesque but more strictly theological course; and the influence of
-those controversies, in which the final success of the cause of "Icons"
-was largely due to the hymns, as well as to the courage and sufferings,
-of these confessors, was probably the cause of their supplanting, as
-they did, the works of the older school. Cardinal Pitra gives them the
-praise of having discovered a graver and more solemn style of chant, and
-of having done much to fix the dogmatic theology of their church upon
-its present lines of near approach to the Roman.
-
-Among the "melodists" of this latter Greek school there were many saints
-of the Greek church, several patriarchs and two emperors--Leo the
-Philosopher, and Constantine Porphyrogenitus, his son. Their greatest
-poets were Theodore and Joseph of the Studium, and Cosmas and John
-(called Damascene) of St Saba. Neale translated into English verse
-several selected portions, or centoes, from the works of these and
-others, together with four selections from earlier works by Anatolius.
-Some of his translations--particularly "The day is past and over," from
-Anatolius, and "Christian, dost thou see them," from Andrew of
-Crete--have been adopted into hymn-books used in many English churches;
-and the hymn "Art thou weary," which is rather founded upon than
-translated from one by Stephen the Sabaite, has obtained still more
-general popularity.
-
-4. _Western Church Hymnody._--It was not till the 4th century that Greek
-hymnody was imitated in the West, where its introduction was due to two
-great lights of the Latin Church--St Hilary of Poitiers and St Ambrose
-of Milan.
-
-Hilary was banished from his see of Poitiers in 356, and was absent from
-it for about four years, which he spent in Asia Minor, taking part
-during that time in one of the councils of the Eastern Church. He thus
-had full opportunity of becoming acquainted with the Greek church music
-of that day; and he wrote (as St Jerome, who was thirty years old when
-Hilary died, and who was well acquainted with his acts and writings, and
-spent some time in or near his diocese, informs us) a "book of hymns,"
-to one of which Jerome particularly refers, in the preface to the second
-book of his own commentary on the epistle to the Galatians. Isidore,
-archbishop of Seville, who presided over the fourth council of Toledo,
-in his book on the offices of the church, speaks of Hilary as the first
-Latin hymn-writer; that council itself, in its 13th canon, and the
-prologue to the Mozarabic hymnary (which is little more than a
-versification of the canon), associate his name, in this respect, with
-that of Ambrose. A tradition, ancient and widely spread, ascribed to him
-the authorship of the remarkable "Hymnum dicat turba fratrum, hymnum
-cantus personet" ("Band of brethren, raise the hymn, let your song the
-hymn resound"), which is a succinct narrative, in hymnal form, of the
-whole gospel history; and is perhaps the earliest example of a strictly
-didactic hymn. Both Bede and Hincmar much admired this composition,
-though the former does not mention, in connexion with it, the name of
-Hilary. The private use of hymns of such a character by Christians in
-the West may probably have preceded their ecclesiastical use; for Jerome
-says that in his day those who went into the fields might hear "the
-ploughman at his hallelujahs, the mower at his hymns, and the
-vine-dresser singing David's psalms." Besides this, seven shorter
-metrical hymns attributed to Hilary are still extant.
-
-
- Ambrose.
-
-Of the part taken by Ambrose, not long after Hilary's death, in bringing
-the use of hymns into the church of Milan, we have a contemporary
-account from his convert, St Augustine. Justina, mother of the emperor
-Valentinian, favoured the Arians, and desired to remove Ambrose from his
-see. The "devout people," of whom Augustine's mother, Monica, was one,
-combined to protect him, and kept guard in the church. "Then," says
-Augustine, "it was first appointed that, after the manner of the Eastern
-churches, hymns and psalms should be sung, lest the people should grow
-weary and faint through sorrow; which custom has ever since been
-retained, and has been followed by almost all congregations in other
-parts of the world." He describes himself as moved to tears by the
-sweetness of these "hymns and canticles":--"The voices flowed into my
-ears; the truth distilled into my heart; I overflowed with devout
-affections, and was happy." To this time, according to an uncertain but
-not improbable tradition which ascribed the composition of the "Te Deum"
-to Ambrose, and connected it with the conversion of Augustine, is to be
-referred the commencement of the use in the church of that sublime
-unmetrical hymn.
-
-It is not, however, to be assumed that the hymnody thus introduced by
-Ambrose was from the first used according to the precise order and
-method of the later Western ritual. To bring it into (substantially)
-that order and method appears to have been the work of St Benedict.
-Walafrid Strabo, the earliest ecclesiastical writer on this subject (who
-lived at the beginning of the 9th century), says that Benedict, on the
-constitution of the religious order known by his name (about 530),
-appointed the Ambrosian hymns to be regularly sung in his offices for
-the canonical hours. Hence probably originated the practice of the
-Italian churches, and of others which followed their example, to sing
-certain hymns (Ambrosian, or by the early successors of the Ambrosian
-school) daily throughout the week, at "Vespers," "Lauds" and "Nocturns,"
-and on some days at "Compline" also--varying them with the different
-ecclesiastical seasons and festivals, commemorations of saints and
-martyrs and other special offices. Different dioceses and religious
-houses had their own peculiarities of ritual, including such hymns as
-were approved by their several bishops or ecclesiastical superiors,
-varying in detail, but all following the same general method. The
-national rituals, which were first reduced into a form substantially
-like that which has since prevailed, were probably those of Lombardy and
-of Spain, now known as the "Ambrosian" and the "Mozarabic." The age and
-origin of the Spanish ritual are uncertain, but it is mentioned in the
-7th century by Isidore, bishop of Seville. It contained a copious
-hymnary, the original form of which may be regarded as canonically
-approved by the fourth council of Toledo (633). By the 13th canon of
-that council, an opinion (which even then found advocates) against the
-use in churches of any hymns not taken from the Scriptures--apparently
-the same opinion which had been held by Paul of Samosata--was censured;
-and it was ordered that such hymns should be used in the Spanish as well
-as in the Gallican churches, the penalty of excommunication being
-denounced against all who might presume to reject them.
-
-The hymns of which the use was thus established and authorized were
-those which entered into the daily and other offices of the church,
-afterwards collected in the "Breviaries"; in which the hymns "proper"
-for "the week," and for "the season," continued for many centuries, with
-very few exceptions, to be derived from the earliest epoch of Latin
-Church poetry--reckoning that epoch as extending from Hilary and Ambrose
-to the end of the pontificate of Gregory the Great. The "Ambrosian"
-music, to which those hymns were generally sung down to the time of
-Gregory, was more popular and congregational than the "Gregorian," which
-then came into use, and afterwards prevailed. In the service of the mass
-it was not the general practice, before the invention of sequences in
-the 9th century, to sing any hymns, except some from the Scriptures
-esteemed canonical, such as the "Song of the Three Children"
-("Benedicite omnia opera"). But to this rule there were, according to
-Walafrid Strabo, some occasional exceptions; particularly in the case of
-Paulinus, patriarch of Aquileia under Charlemagne, himself a
-hymn-writer, who frequently used hymns, composed by himself or others,
-in the eucharistic office, especially in private masses.
-
-Some of the hymns called "Ambrosian" (nearly 100 in number) are beyond
-all question by Ambrose himself, and the rest probably belong to his
-time or to the following century. Four, those beginning "Aeterne rerum
-conditor" ("Dread Framer of the earth and sky"), "Deus Creator omnium"
-("Maker of all things, glorious God"), "Veni Redemptor Gentium"
-("Redeemer of the nations, come") and "Jam surgit hora tertia" ("Christ
-at this hour was crucified"), are quoted as works of Ambrose by
-Augustine. These, and others by the hand of the same master, have the
-qualities most valuable in hymns intended for congregational use. They
-are short and complete in themselves; easy, and at the same time
-elevated in their expression and rhythm; terse and masculine in thought
-and language; and (though sometimes criticized as deficient in
-theological precision) simple, pure and not technical in their rendering
-of the great facts and doctrines of Christianity, which they present in
-an objective and not a subjective manner. They have exercised a powerful
-influence, direct or indirect, upon many of the best works of the same
-kind in all succeeding generations. With the Ambrosian hymns are
-properly classed those of Hilary, and the contemporary works of Pope
-Damasus I. (who wrote two hymns in commemoration of saints), and of
-Prudentius, from whose _Cathemerina_ ("Daily Devotions") and
-_Peristephana_ ("Crown-songs for Martyrs"), all poems of considerable,
-some of great length--about twenty-eight hymns, found in various
-Breviaries, were derived. Prudentius was a layman, a native of
-Saragossa, and it was in the Spanish ritual that his hymns were most
-largely used. In the Mozarabic Breviary almost the whole of one of his
-finest poems (from which most churches took one part only, beginning
-"Corde natus ex parentis") was appointed to be sung between Easter and
-Ascension-Day, being divided into eight or nine hymns; and on some of
-the commemorations of Spanish saints long poems from his _Peristephana_
-were recited or sung at large. He is entitled to a high rank among
-Christian poets, many of the hymns taken from his works being full of
-fervour and sweetness, and by no means deficient in dignity or strength.
-
-
- 5th and 6th centuries.
-
-These writers were followed in the 5th and early in the 6th century by
-the priest Sedulius, whose reputation perhaps exceeded his merit; Elpis,
-a noble Roman lady (considered, by an erroneous tradition, to have been
-the wife of the philosophic statesman Boetius); Pope Gelasius I.; and
-Ennodius, bishop of Pavia. Sedulius and Elpis wrote very little from
-which hymns could be extracted; but the small number taken from their
-compositions obtained wide popularity, and have since held their ground.
-Gelasius was of no great account as a hymn-writer; and the works of
-Ennodius appear to have been known only in Italy and Spain. The latter
-part of the 6th century produced Pope Gregory the Great and Venantius
-Fortunatus, an Italian poet, the friend of Gregory, and the favourite of
-Radegunda, queen of the Franks, who died (609) bishop of Poitiers.
-Eleven hymns of Gregory, and twelve or thirteen (mostly taken from
-longer poems) by Fortunatus, came into general use in the Italian,
-Gallican and British churches. Those of Gregory are in a style hardly
-distinguishable from the Ambrosian; those of Fortunatus are graceful,
-and sometimes vigorous. He does not, however, deserve the praise given
-to him by Dr Neale, of having struck out a new path in Latin hymnody. On
-the contrary, he may more justly be described as a disciple of the
-school of Prudentius, and as having affected the classical style, at
-least as much as any of his predecessors.
-
- The poets of this primitive epoch, which closed with the 6th century,
- wrote in the old classical metres, and made use of a considerable
- variety of them--anapaestic, anacreontic, hendecasyllabic, asclepiad,
- hexameters and pentameters and others. Gregory and some of the
- Ambrosian authors occasionally wrote in sapphics; but the most
- frequent measure was the iambic dimeter, and, next to that, the
- trochaic. The full alcaic stanza does not appear to have been used for
- church purposes before the 16th century, though some of its elements
- were. In the greater number of these works, a general intention to
- conform to the rules of Roman prosody is manifest; but even those
- writers (like Prudentius) in whom that conformity was most decided
- allowed themselves much liberty of deviation from it. Other works,
- including some of the very earliest, and some of conspicuous merit,
- were of the kind described by Bede as not metrical but
- "rhythmical"--i.e. (as he explains the term "rhythm"), "modulated to
- the ear in imitation of different metres." It would be more correct to
- call them metrical--(e.g. still trochaic or iambic, &c., but,
- according to new laws of syllabic quantity, depending entirely on
- accent, and not on the power of vowels or the position of
- consonants)--laws by which the future prosody of all modern European
- nations was to be governed. There are also, in the hymns of the
- primitive period (even in those of Ambrose), anticipations--irregular
- indeed and inconstant, but certainly not accidental--of another great
- innovation, destined to receive important developments, that of
- assonance or rhyme, in the final letters or syllables of verses.
- Archbishop Trench, in the introduction to his _Sacred Latin Poetry_,
- has traced the whole course of the transition from the ancient to the
- modern forms of versification, ascribing it to natural and necessary
- causes, which made such changes needful for the due development of the
- new forms of spiritual and intellectual life, consequent upon the
- conversion of the Latin-speaking nations to Christianity.
-
-
- 6th century downwards.
-
-From the 6th century downwards we see this transformation making
-continual progress, each nation of Western Christendom adding, from time
-to time, to the earlier hymns in its service-books others of more recent
-and frequently of local origin. For these additions, the commemorations
-of saints, &c., as to which the devotion of one place often differed
-from that of another, offered especial opportunities. This process,
-while it promoted the development of a medieval as distinct from the
-primitive style, led also to much deterioration in the quality of
-hymns, of which, perhaps, some of the strongest examples may be found in
-a volume published in 1865 by the Irish Archaeological Society from a
-manuscript in the library of Trinity College, Dublin. It contains a
-number of hymns by Irish saints of the 6th, 7th and 8th centuries--in
-several instances fully rhymed, and in one mixing Erse and Latin
-barbarously together, as was not uncommon, at a much later date, in
-semi-vernacular hymns of other countries. The Mozarabic Breviary, and
-the collection of hymns used in the Anglo-Saxon churches, published in
-1851 by the Surtees Society (chiefly from a Benedictine MS. In the
-college library of Durham, supplemented by other MSS. in the British
-Museum), supply many further illustrations of the same decline of
-taste:--such Sapphics, e.g., as the "Festum insigne prodiit coruscum" of
-Isidore, and the "O veneranda Trinitas laudanda" of the Anglo-Saxon
-books. The early medieval period, however, from the time of Gregory the
-Great to that of Hildebrand, was far from deficient in the production of
-good hymns, wherever learning flourished. Bede in England, and Paul "the
-Deacon"--the author of a fairly classical sapphic ode on St John the
-Baptist--in Italy, were successful followers of the Ambrosian and
-Gregorian styles. Eleven metrical hymns are attributed to Bede by
-Cassander; and there are also in one of Bede's works (_Collectanea et
-flores_) two rhythmical hymns of considerable length on the Day of
-Judgment, with the refrains "In tremendo die" and "Attende homo," both
-irregularly rhymed, and, in parts, not unworthy of comparison with the
-"Dies Irae." Paulinus, patriarch of Aquileia, contemporary with Paul,
-wrote rhythmical trimeter iambics in a manner peculiar to himself.
-Theodulph, bishop of Orleans (793-835), author of the famous
-processional hymn for Palm Sunday in hexameters and pentameters,
-"Gloria, laus, et honor tibi sit, Rex Christe Redemptor" ("Glory and
-honour and laud be to Thee, King Christ the Redeemer"), and Hrabanus
-Maurus, archbishop of Mainz, the pupil of Alcuin, and the most learned
-theologian of his day, enriched the church with some excellent works.
-Among the anonymous hymns of the same period there are three of great
-beauty, of which the influence may be traced in most, if not all, of the
-"New Jerusalem" hymns of later generations, including those of Germany
-and Great Britain:--"Urbs beata Hierusalem" ("Blessed city, heavenly
-Salem"); "Alleluia piis edite laudibus" ("Alleluias sound ye in strains
-of holy praise"--called, from its burden, "Alleluia perenne"); and
-"Alleluia dulce carmen" ("Alleluia, song of sweetness"), which, being
-found in Anglo-Saxon hymnaries certainly older than the Conquest, cannot
-be of the late date assigned to it, in his _Mediaeval Hymns and
-Sequences_, by Neale. These were followed by the "Chorus novae
-Hierusalem" ("Ye Choirs of New Jerusalem") of Fulbert, bishop of
-Chartres. This group of hymns is remarkable for an attractive union of
-melody, imagination, poetical colouring and faith. It represents,
-perhaps, the best and highest type of the middle school, between the
-severe Ambrosian simplicity and the florid luxuriance of later times.
-
-
- Veni Creator.
-
- Notker.
-
-Another celebrated hymn, which belongs to the first medieval period, is
-the "Veni Creator Spiritus" ("Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire"). The
-earliest recorded occasion of its use is that of a translation (898) of
-the relics of St Marcellus, mentioned in the _Annals_ of the Benedictine
-order. It has since been constantly sung throughout Western Christendom
-(as versions of it still are in the Church of England), as part of the
-appointed offices for the coronation of kings, the consecration and
-ordination of bishops and priests, the assembling of synods and other
-great ecclesiastical solemnities. It has been attributed--probably in
-consequence of certain corruptions in the text of Ekkehard's _Life of
-Notker_ (a work of the 13th century)--to Charlemagne. Ekkehard wrote in
-the Benedictine monastery of St Gall, to which Notker belonged, with
-full access to its records; and an ignorant interpolator, regardless of
-chronology, added, at some later date, the word "Great" to the name of
-"the emperor Charles," wherever it was mentioned in that work. The
-biographer relates that Notker--a man of a gentle, contemplative nature,
-observant of all around him, and accustomed to find spiritual and
-poetical suggestions in common sights and sounds--was moved by the
-sound of a mill-wheel to compose his "sequence" on the Holy Spirit,
-"Sancti Spiritus adsit nobis gratia" ("Present with us ever be the Holy
-Spirit's grace"); and that, when finished, he sent it as a present to
-"the emperor Charles," who in return sent him back, "by the same
-messenger," the hymn "Veni Creator," which (says Ekkehard) the same
-"Spirit had inspired him to write" ("Sibi idem Spiritus inspiraverat").
-If this story is to be credited--and, from its circumstantial and almost
-dramatic character, it has an air of truth--the author of "Veni Creator"
-was not Charlemagne, but his grandson the emperor Charles the Bald.
-Notker himself long survived that emperor, and died in 912.
-
-
- Sequences.
-
-The invention of "sequences" by Notker may be regarded as the beginning
-of the later medieval epoch of Latin hymnody. In the eucharistic
-service, in which (as has been stated) hymns were not generally used, it
-had been the practice, except at certain seasons, to sing "laud," or
-"Alleluia," between the epistle and the gospel, and to fill up what
-would otherwise have been a long pause, by extending the cadence upon
-the two final vowels of the "Alleluia" into a protracted strain of
-music. It occurred to Notker that, while preserving the spirit of that
-part of the service, the monotony of the interval might be relieved by
-introducing at that point a chant of praise specially composed for the
-purpose. With that view he produced the peculiar species of rhythmical
-composition which obtained the name of "sequentia" (probably from
-following after the close of the "Alleluia"), and also that of "prosa,"
-because its structure was originally irregular and unmetrical,
-resembling in this respect the Greek "troparia," and the "Te Deum,"
-"Benedicite" and canticles. That it was in some measure suggested by the
-forms of the later Greek hymnody seems probable, both from the
-intercourse (at that time frequent) between the Eastern and Western
-churches, and from the application by Ekkehard, in his biography and
-elsewhere (e.g. in Lyndwood's _Provinciale_), of some technical terms,
-borrowed from the Greek terminology, to works of Notker and his school
-and to books containing them.
-
- Dr Neale, in a learned dissertation prefixed to his collection of
- sequences from medieval Missals, and enlarged in a Latin letter to H.
- A. Daniel (printed in the fifth volume of Daniel's _Thesaurus
- hymnologicus_), investigated the laws of caesura and modulation which
- are discoverable in these works. Those first brought into use were
- sent by their author to Pope Nicholas I., who authorized their use,
- and that of others composed after the same model by other brethren of
- St Gall, in all churches of the West.
-
- Although the sequences of Notker and his school, which then rapidly
- passed into most German, French and British Missals, were not
- metrical, the art of "assonance" was much practised in them. Many of
- those in the Sarum and French Missals have every verse, and even every
- clause or division of a verse, ending with the same vowel "a"--perhaps
- with some reference to the terminal letter of "Alleluia." Artifices
- such as these naturally led the way to the adaptation of the same kind
- of composition to regular metre and fully developed rhyme. Neale's
- full and large collection, and the second volume of Daniel's
- _Thesaurus_, contain numerous examples, both of the "proses," properly
- so called, of the Notkerian type, and of those of the later school,
- which (from the religious house to which its chief writer belonged)
- has been called "Victorine." Most Missals appear to have contained
- some of both kinds. In the majority of those from which Neale's
- specimens are taken, the metrical kind largely prevailed; but in some
- (e.g. those of Sarum and Liege) the greater number were Notkerian.
-
-Of the sequence on the Holy Ghost, sent by Notker (according to
-Ekkehard) to Charles the Bald, Neale says that it "was in use all over
-Europe, even in those countries, like Italy and Spain, which usually
-rejected sequences"; and that, "in the Missal of Palencia, the priest
-was ordered to hold a white dove in his hands, while intoning the first
-syllables, and then to let it go." Another of the most remarkable of
-Notker's sequences, beginning "Media in vita" ("In the midst of life we
-are in death"), is said to have been suggested to him while observing
-some workmen engaged in the construction of a bridge over a torrent near
-his monastery. Catherine Winkworth (_Christian Singers of Germany_,
-1869) states that this was long used as a battle-song, until the custom
-was forbidden, on account of its being supposed to exercise a magical
-influence. A translation of it ("Mitten wir im Leben sind") is one of
-Luther's funeral hymns; and all but the opening sentence of that part of
-the burial service of the Church of England which is directed to be
-"said or sung" at the grave, "while the corpse is made ready to be laid
-into the earth," is taken from it.
-
-The "Golden Sequence," "Veni, sancte Spiritus" ("Holy Spirit, Lord of
-Light"), is an early example of the transition of sequences from a
-simply rhythmical to a metrical form. Archbishop Trench, who esteemed it
-"the loveliest of all the hymns in the whole circle of Latin sacred
-poetry," inclined to give credit to a tradition which ascribes its
-authorship to Robert II., king of France, son of Hugh Capet. Others have
-assigned to it a later date--some attributing it to Pope Innocent III.,
-and some to Stephen Langton, archbishop of Canterbury. Many
-translations, in German, English and other languages, attest its merit.
-Berengarius of Tours, St Bernard of Clairvaux and Abelard, in the 11th
-century and early in the 12th, followed in the same track; and the art
-of the Victorine school was carried to its greatest perfection by Adam
-of St Victor (who died between 1173 and 1194)--"the most fertile, and"
-(in the concurrent judgment of Archbishop Trench and Neale) "the
-greatest of the Latin hymnographers of the Middle Ages." The
-archbishop's selection contains many excellent specimens of his works.
-
-
- Dies Irae.
-
- Stabat Mater.
-
- Aquinas.
-
-But the two most widely celebrated of all this class of
-compositions--works which have exercised the talents of the greatest
-musical composers, and of innumerable translators in almost all
-languages--are the "Dies Irae" ("That day of wrath, that dreadful day"),
-by Thomas of Celano, the companion and biographer of St Francis of
-Assisi, and the "Stabat Mater dolorosa" ("By the cross sad vigil
-keeping") of Jacopone, or Jacobus de Benedictis, a Franciscan humorist
-and reformer, who was persecuted by Pope Boniface VIII. for his satires
-on the prelacy of the time, and died in 1306. Besides these, the 13th
-century produced the famous sequence "Lauda Sion salvatorem" ("Sion,
-lift thy voice and sing"), and the four other well-known sacramental
-hymns of St Thomas Aquinas, viz. "Pange lingua gloriosi corporis
-mysterium" ("Sing, my tongue, the Saviour's glory"), "Verbum supernum
-prodiens" ("The Word, descending from above"--not to be confounded with
-the Ambrosian hymn from which it borrowed the first line), "Sacris
-solemniis juncta sint gaudia" ("Let us with hearts renewed our grateful
-homage pay"), and "Adoro Te devote, latens Deitas" ("O Godhead hid,
-devoutly I adore Thee")--a group of remarkable compositions, written by
-him for the then new festival of Corpus Christi, of which he induced
-Pope Urban IV. (1261-1265) to decree the observance. In these (of which
-all but "Adoro Te devote" passed rapidly into breviaries and missals)
-the doctrine of transubstantiation is set forth with a wonderful degree
-of scholastic precision; and they exercised, probably, a not unimportant
-influence upon the general reception of that dogma. They are undoubtedly
-works of genius, powerful in thought, feeling and expression.
-
-
- Medieval hymns.
-
-These and other medieval hymn-writers of the 12th and 13th centuries may
-be described, generally, as poet-schoolmen. Their tone is contemplative,
-didactic, theological; they are especially fertile and ingenious in the
-field of mystical interpretation. Two great monasteries in the East had,
-in the 8th and 9th centuries, been the principal centres of Greek
-hymnology; and, in the West, three monasteries--St Gall, near Constance
-(which was long the especial seat of German religious literature), Cluny
-in Burgundy and St Victor, near Paris--obtained a similar distinction.
-St Gall produced, besides Notker, several distinguished sequence
-writers, probably his pupils--Hartmann, Hermann and Gottschalk--to the
-last of whom Neale ascribes the "Alleluiatic Sequence" ("Cantemus cuncti
-melodum nunc Alleluia"), well known in England through his translation,
-"The strain upraise of joy and praise." The chief poets of Cluny were
-two of its abbots, Odo and Peter the Venerable (1122-1156), and one of
-Peter's monks, Bernard of Morlaix, who wrote the remarkable poem on
-"Contempt of the World" in about 3000 long rolling "leonine-dactylic"
-verses, from parts of which Neale's popular hymns, "Jerusalem the
-golden," &c., are taken. The abbey of St Victor, besides Adam and his
-follower Pistor, was destined afterwards to produce the most popular
-church poet of the 17th century.
-
-
- Bernard of Clairvaux.
-
-There were other distinguished Latin hymn-writers of the later medieval
-period besides those already mentioned. The name of St Bernard of
-Clairvaux cannot be passed over with the mere mention of the fact that
-he was the author of some metrical sequences. He was, in truth, the
-father, in Latin hymnody, of that warm and passionate form of devotion
-which some may consider to apply too freely to Divine Objects the
-language of human affection, but which has, nevertheless, been popular
-with many devout persons, in Protestant as well as Roman Catholic
-churches. F. von Spee, "Angelus Silesius," Madame Guyon, Bishop Ken,
-Count Zinzendorf and Frederick William Faber may be regarded as
-disciples in this school. Many hymns, in various languages, have been
-founded upon St Bernard's "Jesu dulcis memoria" ("Jesu, the very thought
-of Thee"), "Jesu dulcedo cordium" ("Jesu, Thou joy of loving hearts")
-and "Jesu Rex admirabilis" ("O Jesu, King most wonderful")--three
-portions of one poem, nearly 200 lines long. Pietro Damiani, the friend
-of Pope Gregory VII, Marbode, bishop of Rennes, in the 11th, Hildebert,
-archbishop of Tours, in the 12th, and St Bonaventura in the 13th
-centuries, are other eminent men who added poetical fame as
-hymnographers to high public distinction.
-
-Before the time of the Reformation, the multiplication of sequences
-(often as unedifying in matter as unpoetical in style) had done much to
-degrade the common conception of hymnody. In some parts of France,
-Portugal, Sardinia and Bohemia, their use in the vernacular language had
-been allowed. In Germany also there were vernacular sequences as early
-as the 12th century, specimens of which may be seen in the third chapter
-of C. Winkworth's _Christian Singers of Germany_. Scoffing parodies upon
-sequences are said to have been among the means used in Scotland to
-discredit the old church services. After the 15th century they were
-discouraged at Rome. They retained for a time some of their old
-popularity among German Protestants, and were only gradually
-relinquished in France. A new "prose," in honour of St Maxentia, is
-among the compositions of Jean Baptiste Santeul; and Dr Daniel's second
-volume closes with one written in 1855 upon the dogma of the Immaculate
-Conception.
-
-
- Roman revision of hymns.
-
- The taste of the Renaissance was offended by all deviations from
- classical prosody and Latinity. Pope Leo X. directed the whole body of
- the hymns in use at Rome to be reformed; and the _Hymni novi
- ecclesiastici juxta veram metri et Latinitatis normam_, prepared by
- Zacharie Ferreri (1479-1530), a Benedictine of Monte Cassino,
- afterwards a Carthusian and bishop of Guardia, to whom Leo had
- committed that task, appeared at Rome in 1525, with the sanction of a
- later pope, Clement VII. The next step was to revise the whole Roman
- Breviary. That undertaking, after passing through several stages under
- different popes (particularly Pius V. and Clement VIII.), was at last
- brought to a conclusion by Urban VIII., in 1631. From this revised
- Breviary a large number of medieval hymns, both of the earlier and the
- later periods, were excluded; and in their places many new hymns,
- including some by Pope Urban himself, and some by Cardinal Bellarmine
- and another cardinal (Silvius Antonianus) were introduced. The hymns
- of the primitive epoch, from Hilary to Gregory the Great, for the most
- part retained their places (especially in the offices for every day of
- the week); and there remained altogether from seventy to eighty of
- earlier date than the 11th century. Those, however, which were so
- retained were freely altered, and by no means generally improved. The
- revisers appointed by Pope Urban (three learned Jesuits--Strada,
- Gallucci and Petrucci) professed to have made "as few changes as
- possible" in the works of Ambrose, Gregory, Prudentius, Sedulius,
- Fortunatus and other "poets of great name." But some changes, even in
- those works, were made with considerable boldness; and the pope, in
- the "constitution" by which his new book was promulgated, boasted
- that, "with the exception of a very small number ('perpaucis'), which
- were either prose or merely rhythmical, all the hymns had been made
- conformable to the laws of prosody and Latinity, those which could not
- be corrected by any milder method being entirely rewritten." The
- latter fate befel, among others, the beautiful "Urbs beata
- Hierusalem," which now assumed the form (to many, perhaps, better
- known), of "Caelestis urbs Jerusalem." Of the "very few" which were
- spared, the chief were "Ave maris stella" ("Gentle star of ocean"),
- "Dies Irae," "Stabat Mater dolorosa," the hymns of Thomas Aquinas,
- two of St Bernard and one Ambrosian hymn, "Jesu nostra Redemptio" ("O
- Jesu, our Redemption"), which approaches nearer than others to the
- tone of St Bernard. A then recent hymn of St Francis Xavier, with
- scarcely enough merit of any kind to atone for its neglect of prosody,
- "O Deus, ego amo Te" ("O God, I love Thee, not because"), was at the
- same time introduced without change. This hymnary of Pope Urban VIII.
- is now in general use throughout the Roman Communion.
-
-
- Parisian revisions.
-
- The Parisian hymnary underwent three revisions--the first in 1527,
- when a new "Psaltery with hymns" was issued. In this such changes only
- were made as the revisers thought justifiable upon the principle of
- correcting supposed corruptions of the original text. Of these, the
- transposition, "Urbs Jerusalem beata," instead of "Urbs beata
- Hierusalem," may be taken as a typical example. The next revision was
- in 1670-1680, under Cardinal Perefixe, preceptor of Louis XIV., and
- Francis Harlay, successively archbishops of Paris, who employed for
- this purpose Claude Santeul, of the monastery of St Magloire, and,
- through him, obtained the assistance of other French scholars,
- including his more celebrated brother, Jean Baptiste Santeul, of the
- abbey of St Victor--better known as "Santolius Victorinus." The third
- and final revision was completed in 1735, under the primacy of
- Cardinal Archbishop de Vintimille, who engaged for it the services of
- Charles Coffin, then rector of the university of Paris. Many old hymns
- were omitted in Archbishop Harlay's Breviary, and a large number of
- new compositions, by the Santeuls and others, was introduced. It
- still, however, retained in their old places (without further changes
- than had been made in 1527) about seventy of earlier date than the
- 11th century--including thirty-one Ambrosian, one by Hilary, eight by
- Prudentius, seven by Fortunatus, three by Paul the Deacon, two each by
- Sedulius, Elpis, Gregory and Hrabanus Maurus, "Veni Creator" and "Urbs
- Jerusalem beata." Most of these disappeared in 1735, although Cardinal
- Vintimille, in his preface, professed to have still admitted the old
- hymns, except when the new were better--("veteribus hymnis locus datus
- est, nisi quibus, ob sententiarum vim, elegantiam verborum, et
- teneriores pietatis sensus, recentiores anteponi satius visum est").
- The number of the new was, at the same time, very largely increased.
- Only twenty-one more ancient than the 16th century remained, of which
- those belonging to the primitive epoch were but eight, viz. four
- Ambrosian, two by Fortunatus and one each by Prudentius and Gregory.
- The number of Jean Baptiste Santeul's hymns rose to eighty-nine; those
- by Coffin--including some old hymns, e.g. "Jam lucis orto sidere"
- ("Once more the sun is beaming bright"), which he substantially
- re-wrote--were eighty-three; those of other modern French writers,
- ninety-seven. Whatever opinion may be entertained of the principles on
- which these Roman and Parisian revisions proceeded, it would be unjust
- to deny very high praise as hymn-writers to several of their poets,
- especially to Coffin and Jean Baptiste Santeul. The noble hymn by
- Coffin, beginning--
-
- "O luce qui mortalibus "O Thou who in the light dost dwell,
- Lates inaccessa, Deus, To mortals unapproachable,
- Praesente quo sancti tremunt Where angels veil them from Thy rays,
- Nubuntque vultus angeli," And tremble as they gaze,"
-
- and several others of his works, breathe the true Ambrosian spirit;
- and though Santeul (generally esteemed the better poet of the two)
- delighted in alcaics, and did not greatly affect the primitive manner,
- there can be no question as to the excellence of such hymns as his
- "Fumant Sabaeis templa vaporibus" ("Sweet incense breathes around"),
- "Stupete gentes, fit Deus hostia" ("Tremble, ye Gentile lands"),
- "Hymnis dum resonat curia caelitum" ("Ye in the house of heavenly
- morn"), and "Templi sacratas pande, Sion, fores" ("O Sion, open wide
- thy gates"). It is a striking testimony to the merits of those writers
- that such accomplished translators as the Rev. Isaac Williams and the
- Rev. John Chandler appear (from the title-page of the latter, and the
- prefaces of both) to have supposed their hymns to be "ancient" and
- "primitive." Among the other authors associated with them, perhaps the
- first place is due to the Abbe Besnault, of Sens, who contributed to
- the book of 1735 the "Urbs beata vera pacis Visio Jerusalem," in the
- opinion of Neale "much superior" to the "Caelestis urbs Jerusalem" of
- the Roman Breviary. This stood side by side with the "Urbs Jerusalem
- beata" of 1527 (in the office for the dedication of churches) till
- 1822, when the older form was at last finally excluded by Archbishop
- de Quelen.
-
- The Parisian Breviary of 1735 remained in use till the national French
- service-books were superseded (as they have lately been, generally, if
- not universally) by the Roman. Almost all French dioceses followed,
- not indeed the Breviary, but the example, of Paris; and before the end
- of the 18th century the ancient Latin hymnody was all but banished
- from France.
-
-
- Modern Latin hymns.
-
- In some parts of Germany, after the Reformation, Latin hymns continued
- to be used even by Protestants. This was the case at Halberstadt until
- quite a recent date. In England, a few are still occasionally used in
- the older universities and colleges. Some, also, have been composed in
- both countries since the Reformation. The "Carmina lyrica" of Johann
- Jakob Balde, a native of Alsace, and a Jesuit priest in Bavaria, have
- received high commendation from very eminent German critics,
- particularly Herder and Augustus Schlegel. Some of the Latin hymns of
- William Alard (1572-1645), a Protestant refugee from Belgium, and
- pastor in Holstein, have been thought worthy of a place in Archbishop
- Trench's selection. Two by W. Petersen (printed at the end of
- Haberkorn's supplement to Jacobi's _Psalmodia Germanica_) are good in
- different ways--one, "Jesu dulcis amor meus" ("Jesus, Thee my soul
- doth love"), being a gentle melody of spiritual devotion, and the
- other, entitled _Spes Sionis_, violently controversial against Rome.
- An English hymn of the 17th century, in the Ambrosian style, "Te Deum
- Patrem colimus" ("Almighty Father, just and good"), is sung on every
- May-Day morning by the choristers of Magdalen College, Oxford, from
- the top of the tower of their chapel; and another in the style of the
- Renaissance, of about the same date, "Te de profundis, summe Rex"
- ("Thee from the depths, Almighty King"), long formed part of a grace
- formerly sung by the scholars of Winchester College.
-
-
- Luther.
-
-5. _German Hymnody._--Luther was a proficient in and a lover of music.
-He desired (as he says in the preface to his hymn-book of 1545) that
-this "beautiful ornament" might "in a right manner serve the great
-Creator and His Christian people." The persecuted Bohemian or Hussite
-Church, then settled on the borders of Moravia under the name of "United
-Brethren," had sent to him, on a mission in 1522, Michael Weiss, who not
-long afterwards published a number of German translations from old
-Bohemian hymns (known as those of the "Bohemian Brethren"), with some of
-his own. These Luther highly approved and recommended. He himself, in
-1522, published a small volume of eight hymns, which was enlarged to 63
-in 1527, and to 125 in 1545. He had formed what he called a "house
-choir" of musical friends, to select such old and popular tunes (whether
-secular or ecclesiastical) as might be found suitable, and to compose
-new melodies, for church use. His fellow labourers in this field
-(besides Weiss) were Justus Jonas, his own especial colleague; Paul
-Eber, the disciple and friend of Melanchthon; John Walther, choirmaster
-successively to several German princes, and professor of arts, &c., at
-Wittenberg; Nicholas Decius, who from a monk became a Protestant teacher
-in Brunswick, and translated the "Gloria in Excelsis," &c.; and Paul
-Speratus, chaplain to Duke Albert of Prussia in 1525. Some of their
-works are still popular in Germany. Weiss's "Funeral Hymn," "Nun lasst
-uns den Leib begraben" ("Now lay we calmly in the grave"); Eber's "Herr
-Jesu Christ, wahr Mensch und Gott" ("Lord Jesus Christ, true Man and
-God"), and "Wenn wir in hochsten Nothen sein" ("When in the hour of
-utmost need"); Walther's "New Heavens and new Earth" ("Now fain my
-joyous heart would sing"); Decius's "To God on high be thanks and
-praise"; and Speratus's "Salvation now has come for all," are among
-those which at the time produced the greatest effect, and are still best
-remembered.
-
-Luther's own hymns, thirty-seven in number (of which about twelve are
-translations or adaptations from Latin originals), are for the principal
-Christian seasons; on the sacraments, the church, grace, death, &c.; and
-paraphrases of seven psalms, of a passage in Isaiah, and of the Lord's
-Prayer, Ten Commandments, Creed, Litany and "Te Deum." There is also a
-very touching and stirring song on the martyrdom of two youths by fire
-at Brussels, in 1523-1524. Homely and sometimes rugged in form, and for
-the most part objective in tone, they are full of fire, manly simplicity
-and strong faith. Three rise above the rest. One for Christmas, "Vom
-Himmel hoch da komm ich her" ("From Heaven above to earth I come"), has
-a reverent tenderness, the influence of which may be traced in many
-later productions on the same subject. That on salvation through Christ,
-of a didactic character, "Nun freuet euch, lieben Christen g'mein"
-("Dear Christian people, now rejoice"), is said to have made many
-conversions, and to have been once taken up by a large congregation to
-silence a Roman Catholic preacher in the cathedral of Frankfort.
-Pre-eminent above all is the celebrated paraphrase of the 46th Psalm:
-"Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott" ("A sure stronghold our God is
-He")--"the production" (as Ranke says) "of the moment in which Luther,
-engaged in a conflict with a world of foes, sought strength in the
-consciousness that he was defending a divine cause which could never
-perish." Carlyle compares it to "a sound of Alpine avalanches, or the
-first murmur of earthquakes." Heine called it "the Marseillaise of the
-Reformation."
-
-Luther spent several years in teaching his people at Wittenberg to sing
-these hymns, which soon spread over Germany. Without adopting the
-hyperbolical saying of Coleridge, that "Luther did as much for the
-Reformation by his hymns as by his translation of the Bible," it may
-truly be affirmed, that, among the secondary means by which the success
-of the Reformation was promoted, none was more powerful. They were sung
-everywhere--in the streets and fields as well as the churches, in the
-workshop and the palace, "by children in the cottage and by martyrs on
-the scaffold." It was by them that a congregational character was given
-to the new Protestant worship. This success they owed partly to their
-metrical structure, which, though sometimes complex, was recommended to
-the people by its ease and variety; and partly to the tunes and melodies
-(many of them already well known and popular) to which they were set.
-They were used as direct instruments of teaching, and were therefore, in
-a large measure, didactic and theological; and it may be partly owing to
-this cause that German hymnody came to deviate, so soon and so generally
-as it did, from the simple idea expressed in the ancient Augustinian
-definition, and to comprehend large classes of compositions which, in
-most other countries, would be thought hardly suitable for church use.
-
-
- Followers of Luther
-
-The principal hymn-writers of the Lutheran school, in the latter part of
-the 16th century, were Nikolaus Selnecker, Herman and Hans Sachs, the
-shoemaker of Nuremberg, also known in other branches of literature. All
-these wrote some good hymns. They were succeeded by men of another sort,
-to whom F. A. Cunz gives the name of "master-singers," as having raised
-both the poetical and the musical standard of German
-hymnody:--Bartholomaus Ringwaldt, Ludwig Helmbold, Johannes Pappus, Martin
-Schalling, Rutilius and Sigismund Weingartner. The principal topics of
-their hymns (as if with some foretaste of the calamities which were soon
-to follow) were the vanity of earthly things, resignation to the Divine
-will, and preparation for death and judgment. The well-known English hymn,
-"Great God, what do I see and hear," is founded upon one by Ringwaldt. Of
-a quite different character were two of great beauty and universal
-popularity, composed by Philip Nicolai, a Westphalian pastor, during a
-pestilence in 1597, and published by him, with fine chorales, two years
-afterwards. One of these (the "Sleepers wake! a voice is calling," of
-Mendelssohn's oratorio, _St Paul_) belongs to the family of Advent or New
-Jerusalem hymns. The other, a "Song of the believing soul concerning the
-Heavenly Bridegroom" ("Wie schon leucht't uns der Morgenstern"--"O morning
-Star, how fair and bright"), became the favourite marriage hymn of
-Germany.
-
-
- Period of Thirty Years' War.
-
-The hymns produced during the Thirty Years' War are characteristic of
-that unhappy time, which (as Miss Winkworth says) "caused religious men
-to look away from this world," and made their songs more and more
-expressive of personal feelings. In point of refinement and graces of
-style, the hymn-writers of this period excelled their predecessors.
-Their taste was chiefly formed by the influence of Martin Opitz, the
-founder of what has been called the "first Silesian school" of German
-poetry, who died comparatively young in 1639, and who, though not of any
-great original genius, exercised much power as a critic. Some of the
-best of these works were by men who wrote little. In the famous
-battle-song of Gustavus Adolphus, published (1631) after the victory of
-Breitenfeld, for the use of his army, "Verzage nicht du Hauflein klein"
-("Fear not, O little flock, the foe"), we have almost certainly a
-composition of the hero-king himself, the versification corrected by his
-chaplain Jakob Fabricius (1593-1654) and the music composed by Michael
-Altenburg, whose name has been given to the hymn. This, with Luther's
-paraphrase of the 67th Psalm, was sung by Gustavus and his soldiers
-before the battle of Lutzen in 1632. Two very fine hymns, one of prayer
-for deliverance and peace, the other of trust in God under calamities,
-were written about the same time by Matthaus Lowenstern, a saddler's
-son, poet, musician and statesman, who was ennobled after the peace by
-the emperor Ferdinand III. Martin Rinckhart, in 1636, wrote the "Chorus
-of God's faithful children" ("Nun danket alle Gott"--"Now thank we all
-our God"), introduced by Mendelssohn in his "Lobgesang," which has been
-called the "Te Deum" of Germany, being usually sung on occasions of
-public thanksgiving. Weissel, in 1635, composed a beautiful Advent hymn
-("Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates"), and J. M. Meyfart, professor of
-theology at Erfurt, in 1642, a fine adaptation of the ancient "Urbs
-beata Hierusalem." The hymn of trust in Providence by George Neumark,
-librarian to that duke of Weimar ("Wer nur den lieben Gott lasst
-walten"--"Leave God to order all thy ways"), is scarcely, if at all,
-inferior to that of Paul Gerhardt on the same theme. Paul Flemming, a
-great traveller and lover of nature, who died in 1639, also wrote
-excellent compositions, coloured by the same tone of feeling; and some,
-of great merit, were composed, soon after the close of the war, by
-Louisa Henrietta, electress of Brandenburg, granddaughter of the famous
-admiral Coligny, and mother of the first king of Prussia. With these may
-be classed (though of later date) a few striking hymns of faith and
-prayer under mental anxiety, by Anton Ulrich, duke of Brunswick.
-
-
- Rist.
-
- Dach.
-
-The most copious, and in their day most esteemed, hymn-writers of the
-first half of the 17th century, were Johann Heermann and Johann Rist.
-Heermann, a pastor in Silesia, the theatre (in a peculiar degree) of war
-and persecution, experienced in his own person a very large share of the
-miseries of the time, and several times narrowly escaped a violent
-death. His _Devoti musica cordis_, published in 1630, reflects the
-feelings natural under such circumstances. With a correct style and good
-versification, his tone is subjective, and the burden of his hymns is
-not praise, but prayer. Among his works (which enter largely into most
-German hymn-books), two of the best are the "Song of Tears" and the
-"Song of Comfort," translated by Miss Winkworth in her _Christian
-Singers of Germany_. Rist published about 600 hymns, "pressed out of
-him," as he said, "by the cross." He was a pastor, and son of a pastor,
-in Holstein, and lived after the peace to enjoy many years of
-prosperity, being appointed poet-laureate to the emperor and finally
-ennobled. The bulk of his hymns, like those of other copious writers,
-are of inferior quality; but some, particularly those for Advent,
-Epiphany, Easter Eve and on Angels, are very good. They are more
-objective than those of Heermann, and written, upon the whole, in a more
-manly spirit. Next to Heermann and Rist in fertility of production, and
-above them in poetical genius, was Simon Dach, professor of poetry at
-Konigsberg, who died in 1659. Miss Winkworth ranks him high among German
-poets, "for the sweetness of form and depth of tender contemplative
-emotion to be found in his verses."
-
-
- Gerhardt.
-
- Franck.
-
- Scheffler.
-
-The fame of all these writers was eclipsed in the latter part of the
-same century by three of the greatest hymnographers whom Germany has
-produced--Paul Gerhardt (1604-1676), Johann Franck (1618-1677) and
-Johann Scheffler (1624-1677), the founder of the "second Silesian
-school," who assumed the name of "Angelus Silesius." Gerhardt is by
-universal consent the prince of Lutheran poets. His compositions, which
-may be compared, in many respects, to those of the _Christian Year_, are
-lyric poems, of considerable length, rather than hymns, though many
-hymns have been taken from them. They are, with few exceptions,
-subjective, and speak the language of individual experience. They occupy
-a middle ground between the masculine simplicity of the old Lutheran
-style and the highly wrought religious emotion of the later pietists,
-towards whom they on the whole incline. Being nearly all excellent, it
-is not easy to distinguish among the 123 those which are entitled to the
-highest praise. Two, which were written one during the war and the other
-after the conclusion of peace, "Zeuch ein zu deinen Thoren" ("Come to
-Thy temple here on earth"), and "Gottlob, nun ist erschollen" ("Thank
-God, it hath resounded"), are historically interesting. Of the rest, one
-is well known and highly appreciated in English through Wesley's
-translation, "Commit thou all thy ways"; and the evening and
-spring-tide hymns ("Now all the woods are sleeping" and "Go forth, my
-heart, and seek delight") show an exquisite feeling for nature; while
-nothing can be more tender and pathetic than "Du bist zwar mein und
-bleibest mein" ("Thou'rt mine, yes, still thou art mine own"), on the
-death of his son. Franck, who was burgomaster of Guben in Lusatia, has
-been considered by some second only to Gerhardt. If so, it is with a
-great distance between them. His approach to the later pietists is
-closer than that of Gerhardt. His hymns were published, under the title
-of _Geistliche und weltliche Gedichte_, in 1674, some of them being
-founded on Ambrosian and other Latin originals. Miss Winkworth gives
-them the praise of a condensed and polished style and fervid and
-impassioned thought. It was after his conversion to Roman Catholicism
-that Scheffler adopted the name of "Angelus Silesius," and published in
-1657 his hymns, under a fantastic title, and with a still more fantastic
-preface. Their keynote is divine love; they are enthusiastic, intense,
-exuberant in their sweetness, like those of St Bernard among medieval
-poets. An adaptation of one of them, by Wesley, "Thee will I love, my
-Strength, my Tower," is familiar to English readers. Those for the first
-Sunday after Epiphany, for Sexagesima Sunday and for Trinity Sunday, in
-_Lyra Germanica_, are good examples of his excellences, with few of his
-defects. His hymns are generally so free from the expression, or even
-the indirect suggestion, of Roman Catholic doctrine, that it has been
-supposed they were written before his conversion, though published
-afterwards. The evangelical churches of Germany found no difficulty in
-admitting them to that prominent place in their services which they have
-ever since retained.
-
-
- Pietists.
-
-Towards the end of the 17th century, a new religious school arose, to
-which the name of "Pietists" was given, and of which Philipp Jakob
-Spener was esteemed the founder. He and his pupils and successors,
-August Hermann Francke and Anastasius Freylinghausen, all wrote hymns.
-Spener's hymns are not remarkable, and Francke's are not numerous.
-Freylinghausen was their chief singer; his rhythm is lively, his music
-florid; but, though his book attained extraordinary popularity, he was
-surpassed in solid merit by other less fertile writers of the same
-school. The "Auf hinauf zu deiner Freude" ("Up, yes, upward to thy
-gladness") of Schade may recall to an English reader a hymn by Seagrave,
-and more than one by Lyte; the "Malabarian hymn" (as it was called by
-Jacobi) of Johann Schutz, "All glory to the Sovereign Good," has been
-popular in England as well as Germany; and one of the most exquisite
-strains of pious resignation ever written is "Whate'er my God ordains is
-right," by Samuel Rodigast.
-
-
- Neander.
-
-Joachim Neander, a schoolmaster at Dusseldorf, and a friend of Spener
-and Schutz (who died before the full development of the "Pietistic"
-school), was the first man of eminence in the "Reformed" or Calvinistic
-Church who imitated Lutheran hymnody. This he did, while suffering
-persecution from the elders of his own church for some other religious
-practices, which he had also learnt from Spener's example. As a poet, he
-is sometimes deficient in art; but there is feeling, warmth and
-sweetness in many of his "Bundeslieder" or "Songs of the Covenant," and
-they obtained general favour, both in the Reformed and in Lutheran
-congregations. The Summer Hymn ("O Thou true God alone") and that on the
-glory of God in creation ("Lo, heaven and earth and sea and air") are
-instances of his best style.
-
-
- Schmolke.
-
- Dessler.
-
- Hiller.
-
- Arnold.
-
- Tersteegen.
-
- Zinzendorf.
-
-With the "Pietists" may be classed Benjamin Schmolke and Dessler,
-representatives of the "Orthodox" division of Spener's school; Philipp
-Friedrich Hiller, their leading poet in South Germany; Gottfried Arnold
-and Gerhard Tersteegen, who were practically independent of
-ecclesiastical organization, though connected, one with the "Orthodox"
-and the other with the "Reformed" churches; and Nikolaus Ludwig, Graf
-von Zinzendorf. Schmolke, a pastor in Silesia, called the Silesian Rist
-(1672-1737), was perhaps the most voluminous of all German hymn-writers.
-He wrote 1188 religious poems and hymns, a large proportion of which do
-not rise above mediocrity. His style, if less refined, is also less
-subjective and more simple than that of most of his contemporaries.
-Among his best and most attractive works, which indeed, it would be
-difficult to praise too highly, are the "Hosianna David's Sohn," for
-Palm Sunday--much resembling a shorter hymn by Jeremy Taylor; and the
-Ascension, Whitsuntide and Sabbath hymns--"Heavenward doth our journey
-tend," "Come deck our feast to-day," and "Light of light, enlighten me."
-Dessler was a greater poet than Schmolke. Few hymns, of the subjective
-kind, are better than his "I will not let Thee go, Thou Help in time of
-need," "O Friend of souls, how well is me," and "Now, the pearly gates
-unfold." Hiller (1699-1769), was a pastor in Wurttemberg who, falling
-into ill-health during the latter part of his ministry, published a
-_Geistliche Liederhostlein_ in a didactic vein, with more taste than
-power, but (as Miss Winkworth says) in a tone of "deep, thoughtful,
-practical piety." They were so well adapted to the wants of his people
-that to this day Hiller's Casket is prized, next to their Bibles, by the
-peasantry of Wurttemberg; and the numerous emigrants from that part of
-Germany to America and other foreign countries generally take it with
-them wherever they go. Arnold, a professor at Giessen, and afterwards a
-pastor in Brandenburg, was a man of strong will, uncompromising
-character and austere views of life, intolerant and controversial
-towards those whose doctrine or practice he disapproved, and more
-indifferent to separatism and sectarianism than the "orthodox" generally
-thought right. His hymns, like those of Augustus M. Toplady, whom in
-these respects he resembled, unite with considerable strength more
-gentleness and breadth of sympathy than might be expected from a man of
-such a character. Tersteegen (1697-1769), who never formally separated
-himself from the "Reformed" communion, in which he was brought up, but
-whose sympathies were with the Moravians and with Zinzendorf, was, of
-all the more copious German hymn-writers after Luther, perhaps the most
-remarkable man. Pietist, mystic and missionary, he was also a great
-religious poet. His 111 hymns were published In 1731, in a volume called
-_Geistlicher Blumengartlein inniger_ Seelen. They are intensely
-individual, meditative and subjective. Wesley's adaptations of two--"Lo!
-God is here; let us adore," and "Thou hidden Love of God, whose
-source"--are well known. Among those translated by Miss Winkworth, "O
-God, O Spirit, Light of all that live," and "Come, brethren, let us go,"
-are specimens which exhibit favourably his manner and power. Miss Cox
-speaks of him as "a gentle heaven-inspired soul, whose hymns are the
-reflection of a heavenly, happy life, his mind being full of a
-child-like simplicity"; and his own poem on the child-character, which
-Miss Winkworth has appropriately connected with Innocents' day ("Dear
-Soul, couldst thou become a child")--one of his best compositions,
-exquisitely conceived and expressed--shows that this was in truth the
-ideal which he sought to realize. The hymns of Zinzendorf are often
-disfigured by excess in the application of the language and imagery of
-human affections to divine objects; and this blemish is also found in
-many later Moravian hymns. But one hymn, at least, of Zinzendorf may be
-mentioned with unqualified praise, as uniting the merits of force,
-simplicity and brevity--"Jesu, geh voran" ("Jesus, lead the way"), which
-is taught to most children of religious parents in Germany. Wesley's
-"Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness" is a translation from Zinzendorf.
-
-
- Gellert.
-
-The transition from Tersteegen and Zinzendorf to Gellert and Klopstock
-marks strongly the reaction against Pietism which took place towards the
-middle of the 18th century. The _Geistlichen Oden und Lieder_ of
-Christian F. Gellert were published in 1757, and are said to have been
-received with an enthusiasm almost like that which "greeted Luther's
-hymns on their first appearance." It is a proof of the moderation both
-of the author and of his times that they were largely used, not only by
-Protestant congregations, but in those German Roman Catholic churches in
-which vernacular services had been established through the influence of
-the emperor Joseph II. They became the model which was followed by most
-succeeding hymn-writers, and exceeded all others in popularity till the
-close of the century, when a new wave of thought was generated by the
-movement which produced the French Revolution. Since that time they have
-been, perhaps, too much depreciated. They are, indeed, cold and
-didactic, as compared with Scheffler or Tersteegen; but there is
-nevertheless in them a spirit of genuine practical piety; and, if not
-marked by genius, they are pure in taste, and often terse, vigorous and
-graceful.
-
-
- Klopstock.
-
-Klopstock, the author of the _Messiah_, cannot be considered great as a
-hymn-writer, though his "Sabbath Hymn" (of which there is a version in
-_Hymns from the Land of Luther_) is simple and good. Generally his hymns
-(ten of which are translated in Sheppard's _Foreign Sacred Lyre_) are
-artificial and much too elaborate.
-
-
- Fouque.
-
-Of the "romantic" school, which came in with the French Revolution, the
-two leading writers are Friedrich Leopold von Hardenberg, called
-"Novalis," and Friedrich de la Motte Fouque, the celebrated author of
-_Undine_ and _Sintram_--both romance-writers, as well as poets. The
-genius of Novalis was early lost to the world; he died in 1801, not
-thirty years old. Some of his hymns are very beautiful; but even in such
-works as "Though all to Thee were faithless," and "If only He is mine,"
-there is a feeling of insulation and of despondency as to good in the
-actual world, which was perhaps inseparable from his ecclesiastical
-idealism. Fouque survived till 1843. In his hymns there is the same deep
-flow of feeling, richness of imagery and charm of expression which
-distinguishes his prose works. The two missionary hymns--"Thou, solemn
-Ocean, rollest to the strand," and "In our sails all soft and
-sweetly"--and the exquisite composition which finds its motive in the
-gospel narrative of blind Bartimeus, "Was du vor tausend Jahren" (finely
-translated both by Miss Winkworth and by Miss Cox), are among the best
-examples.
-
-
- Spitta.
-
-The later German hymn-writers of the 19th century belong, generally, to
-the revived "Pietistic" school. Some of the best, Johann Baptist von
-Albertini, Friedrich Adolf Krummacher, and especially Karl Johann
-Philipp Spitta (1801-1859) have produced works not unworthy of the fame
-of their nation. Mr Massie, the able translator of Spitta's _Psalter und
-Harfe_ (Leipzig, 1833), speaks of it as having "obtained for him in
-Germany a popularity only second to that of Paul Gerhardt." In Spitta's
-poems (for such they generally are, rather than hymns) the subjective
-and meditative tone is tempered, not ungracefully, with a didactic
-element; and they are not disfigured by exaggerated sentiment, or by a
-too florid and rhetorical style.
-
-6. _British Hymnody._--After the Reformation, the development of hymnody
-was retarded, in both parts of Great Britain, by the example and
-influence of Geneva. Archbishop Cranmer appears at one time to have been
-disposed to follow Luther's course, and to present to the people, in an
-English dress, some at least of the hymns of the ancient church. In a
-letter to King Henry VIII. (October 7, 1544), among some new
-"processions" which he had himself translated, into English, he mentions
-the Easter hymn, "Salve, festa dies, toto memorabilis aevo" ("Hail, glad
-day, to be joyfully kept through all generations"), of Fortunatus. In
-the "Primer" of 1535 (by Marshall) and the one of 1539 (by Bishop Hilsey
-of Rochester, published by order of the vicar-general Cromwell) there
-had been several rude English hymns, none of them taken from ancient
-sources. King Henry's "Primer" of 1545 (commanded by his injunction of
-the 6th of May 1545 to be used throughout his dominions) was formed on
-the model of the daily offices of the Breviary; and it contains English
-metrical translations from some of the best-known Ambrosian and other
-early hymns. But in the succeeding reign different views prevailed. A
-new direction had been given to the taste of the "Reformed"
-congregations in France and Switzerland by the French metrical
-translation of the Old Testament Psalms, which appeared about 1540. This
-was the joint work of Clement Marot, valet or groom of the chamber to
-Francis I., and Theodore Beza, then a mere youth, fresh from his studies
-at Orleans.
-
-
- Marot's Psalms.
-
-Marot's psalms were dedicated to the French king and the ladies of
-France, and, being set to popular airs, became fashionable. They were
-sung by Francis himself, the queen, the princesses and the courtiers,
-upon all sorts of secular occasions, and also, more seriously and
-religiously, by the citizens and the common people. They were soon
-perceived to be a power on the side of the Reformation. Calvin, who had
-settled at Geneva in the year of Marot's return to Paris, was then
-organizing his ecclesiastical system. He rejected the hymnody of the
-breviaries and missals, and fell back upon the idea, anciently held by
-Paul of Samosata, and condemned by the fourth council of Toledo, that
-whatever was sung in churches ought to be taken out of the Scriptures.
-Marot's Psalter, appearing thus opportunely, was introduced into his new
-system of worship, and appended to his catechism. On the other hand, it
-was interdicted by the Roman Catholic priesthood. Thus it became a badge
-to the one party of the "reformed" profession, and to the other of
-heresy.
-
-
- Sternhold and Hopkins.
-
-The example thus set produced in England the translation commonly known
-as the "Old Version" of the Psalms. It was begun by Thomas Sternhold,
-whose position in the household of Henry VIII., and afterwards of Edward
-VI., was similar to that of Marot with Francis I., and whose services to
-the former of those kings were rewarded by a substantial legacy under
-his will. Sternhold published versions of nineteen Psalms, with a
-dedication to King Edward, and died soon afterwards. A second edition
-appeared in 1551, with eighteen more Psalms added, of Sternhold's
-translating, and seven others by John Hopkins, a Suffolk clergyman. The
-work was continued during Queen Mary's reign by British refugees at
-Geneva, the chief of whom were William Whittingham, afterwards dean of
-Durham, who succeeded John Knox as minister of the English congregation
-there, and William Kethe or Keith, said by Strype to have been a
-Scotsman. They published at Geneva in 1556 a service-book, containing
-fifty-one English metrical psalms, which number was increased, in later
-editions, to eighty-seven. On the accession of Queen Elizabeth, this
-Genevan Psalmody was at once brought into use in England--first
-(according to a letter of Bishop Jewell to Peter Martyr, dated 5th March
-1560) in one London church, from which it quickly spread to others both
-in London and in other cities. Jewell describes the effect produced by
-large congregations, of as many as 6000 persons, young and old, women
-and children, singing it after the sermons at St Paul's Cross--adding,
-"Id sacrificos et diabolum aegre habet; vident enim sacras conciones hoc
-pacto profundius descendere in hominum animos." The first edition of the
-completed "Old Version" (containing forty Psalms by Sternhold,
-sixty-seven by Hopkins, fifteen by Whittingham, six by Kethe and the
-rest by Thomas Norton the dramatist, Robert Wisdom, John Marckant and
-Thomas Churchyard) appeared in 1562.
-
- In the meantime, the Books of Common Prayer, of 1549, 1552 and 1559,
- had been successively established as law by the acts of uniformity of
- Edward VI. and Queen Elizabeth. In these no provision was made for the
- use of any metrical psalm or hymn on any occasion whatever, except at
- the consecration of bishops and the ordination of priests, in which
- offices (first added in 1552) an English version of "Veni Creator"
- (the longer of the two now in use) was appointed to be "said or sung."
- The canticles, "Te Deum," "Benedicite," the Nicene and Athanasian
- Creeds, the "Gloria in Excelsis," and some other parts of the
- communion and other special offices were also directed to be "said or
- sung"; and, by general rubrics, the chanting of the whole service was
- allowed.
-
- The silence, however, of the rubrics in these books as to any other
- singing was not meant to exclude the use of psalms not expressly
- appointed, when they could be used without interfering with the
- prescribed order of any service. It was expressly provided by King
- Edward's first act of uniformity (by later acts made applicable to the
- later books) that it should be lawful "for all men, as well in
- churches, chapels, oratories or other places, to use openly any psalms
- or prayers taken out of the Bible, at any due time, not letting or
- omitting thereby the service, or any part thereof, mentioned in the
- book." And Queen Elizabeth, by one of the injunctions issued in the
- first year of her reign, declared her desire that the provision made,
- "in divers collegiate and also some parish churches, for singing in
- the church, so as to promote the laudable service of music," should
- continue. After allowing the use of "a modest and distinct song in all
- parts of the common prayers of the church, so that the same may be as
- plainly understanded as if it were read without singing," the
- injunction proceeded thus--"And yet, nevertheless, for the comforting
- of such that delight in music, it may be permitted that in the
- beginning or in the end of the Common Prayer, either at morning or
- evening, there may be sung an hymn, or such like song to the praise of
- Almighty God, in the best sort of melody and music that may be
- conveniently devised, having respect that the sentence" (i.e. sense)
- "of hymn may be understanded and perceived."
-
- The "Old Version," when published (by John Daye, for the Stationers'
- Company, "cum gratia et privilegio Regiae Majestatis"), bore upon the
- face of it that it was "newly set forth, and allowed to be sung of the
- people in churches, before and after morning and evening prayer, as
- also before and after the sermon." The question of its authority has
- been at different times much debated, chiefly by Peter Heylyn and
- Thomas Warton on one side (both of whom disliked and disparaged it),
- and by William Beveridge, bishop of St Asaph, and the Rev. H. J. Todd
- on the other. Heylyn says, it was "permitted rather than allowed,"
- which seems to be a distinction without much difference. "Allowance,"
- which is all that the book claimed for itself, is authorization by way
- of permission, not of commandment. Its publication in that form could
- hardly have been licensed, nor could it have passed into use as it did
- without question, throughout the churches of England, unless it had
- been "allowed" by some authority then esteemed to be sufficient.
- Whether that authority was royal or ecclesiastical does not appear,
- nor (considering the proviso in King Edward's act of uniformity, and
- Queen Elizabeth's injunctions) is it very important. No inference can
- justly be drawn from the inability of inquirers, in Heylyn's time or
- since, to discover any public record bearing upon this subject, many
- public documents of that period having been lost.
-
-In this book, as published in 1562, and for many years afterwards, there
-were (besides the versified Psalms) eleven metrical versions of the "Te
-Deum," canticles, Lord's Prayer (the best of which is that of the
-"Benedicite"); and also "Da pacem, Domine," a hymn suitable to the
-times, rendered into English from Luther; two original hymns of praise,
-to be sung before morning and evening prayer; two penitential hymns (one
-of them the "humble lamentation of a sinner"); and a hymn of faith,
-beginning, "Lord, in Thee is all my trust." In these respects, and also
-in the tunes which accompanied the words (stated by Dr Charles Burney,
-in his _History of Music_, to be German, and not French), there was a
-departure from the Genevan platform. Some of these hymns, and some of
-the psalms also (e.g. those by Robert Wisdom, being alternative
-versions), were omitted at a later period; and many alterations and
-supposed amendments were from time to time made by unknown hands in the
-psalms which remained, so that the text, as now printed, is in many
-places different from that of 1562.
-
-
- Scotch Psalms.
-
-In Scotland, the General Assembly of the kirk caused to be printed at
-Edinburgh in 1564, and enjoined the use of, a book entitled _The Form of
-Prayers and Ministry of the Sacraments used in the English Church at
-Geneva, approved and received by the Church of Scotland; whereto,
-besides that was in the former books, are also added sundry other
-prayers, with the whole Psalms of David in English metre_. This
-contained, from the "Old Version," translations of forty Psalms by
-Sternhold, fifteen by Whittingham, twenty-six by Kethe and thirty-five
-by Hopkins. Of the remainder two were by John Pulleyn (one of the
-Genevan refugees, who became archdeacon of Colchester); six by Robert
-Pont, Knox's son-in-law, who was a minister of the kirk, and also a lord
-of session; and fourteen signed with the initials I. C., supposed to be
-John Craig; one was anonymous, eight were attributed to N., two to M.
-and one to T. N. respectively.
-
-So matters continued in both churches until the Civil War. During the
-interval, King James I. conceived the project of himself making a new
-version of the Psalms, and appears to have translated thirty-one of
-them--the correction of which, together with the translation of the
-rest, he entrusted to Sir William Alexander, afterwards earl of
-Stirling. Sir William having completed his task, King Charles I. had it
-examined and approved by several archbishops and bishops of England,
-Scotland and Ireland, and caused it to be printed in 1631 at the Oxford
-University Press, as the work of King James; and, by an order under the
-royal sign manual, recommended its use in all churches of his dominions.
-In 1634 he enjoined the Privy Council of Scotland not to suffer any
-other psalms, "of any edition whatever," to be printed in or imported
-into that kingdom. In 1636 it was republished, and was attached to the
-famous Scottish service-book, with which the troubles began in 1637. It
-need hardly be added that the king did not succeed in bringing this
-Psalter into use in either kingdom.
-
-When the Long Parliament undertook, in 1642, the task of altering the
-liturgy, its attention was at the same time directed to psalmody. It had
-to judge between two rival translations of the Psalms--one by Francis
-Rouse, a member of the House of Commons, afterwards one of Cromwell's
-councillors and finally provost of Eton; the other by William Barton, a
-clergyman of Leicester. The House of Lords favoured Barton, the House of
-Commons Rouse, who had made much use of the labours of Sir William
-Alexander. Both versions were printed by order of parliament, and were
-referred for consideration to the Westminster Assembly. They decided in
-favour of Rouse. His version, as finally amended, was published in 1646,
-under an order of the House of Commons dated 14th November 1645. In the
-following year it was recommended by the parliament to the General
-Assembly at Edinburgh, who appointed a committee, with large powers, to
-prepare a revised Psalter, recommending to their consideration not only
-Rouse's book but that of 1564, and two other versions (by Zachary Boyd
-and Sir William Mure of Rowallan), then lately executed in Scotland. The
-result of the labours of this committee was the "Paraphrase" of the
-Psalms, which, in 1649-1650, by the concurrent authority of the General
-Assembly and the committee of estates, was ordered to be exclusively
-used throughout the church of Scotland. Some use was made in the
-preparation of this book of the versions to which the attention of the
-revisers had been directed, and also of Barton's; but its basis was that
-of Rouse. It was received in Scotland with great favour, which it has
-ever since retained; and it is fairly entitled to the praise of striking
-a tolerable medium between the rude homeliness of the "Old," and the
-artificial modernism of the "New" English versions--perhaps as great a
-success as was possible for such an undertaking. Sir Walter Scott is
-said to have dissuaded any attempt to alter it, and to have pronounced
-it, "with all its acknowledged occasional harshness, so beautiful, that
-any alterations must eventually prove only so many blemishes." No
-further step towards any authorized hymnody was taken by the kirk of
-Scotland till the following century.
-
-In England, two changes bearing on church hymnody were made upon the
-revision of the prayer-book after the Restoration, in 1661-1662. One was
-the addition, in the offices for consecrating bishops and ordaining
-priests, of the shorter version of "Veni Creator" ("Come, Holy Ghost,
-our souls inspire"), as an alternative form. The other, and more
-important, was the insertion of the rubric after the third collect, at
-morning and evening prayer: "In quires and places where they sing, here
-followeth the anthem." By this rubric synodical and parliamentary
-authority was given for the interruption, at that point, of the
-prescribed order of the service by singing an anthem, the choice of
-which was left to the discretion of the minister. Those actually used,
-under this authority, were for some time only unmetrical passages of
-scripture, set to music by Blow, Purcell and other composers, of the
-same kind with the anthems still generally sung in cathedral and
-collegiate churches. But the word "anthem" had no technical
-signification which could be an obstacle to the use under this rubric of
-metrical hymns.
-
-
- Tate and Brady.
-
-The "New Version" of the Psalms, by Dr Nicholas Brady and the
-poet-laureate Nahum Tate (both Irishmen), appeared in 1696, under the
-sanction of an order in council of William III., "allowing and
-permitting" its use "in all such churches, chapels and congregations as
-should think fit to receive it." Dr Compton, bishop of London,
-recommended it to his diocese. No hymns were then appended to it; but
-the authors added a "supplement" in 1703, which received an exactly
-similar sanction from an order in council of Queen Anne. In that
-supplement there were several new versions of the canticles, and of the
-"Veni Creator"; a variation of the old "humble lamentation of a sinner";
-six hymns for Christmas, Easter and Holy Communion (all versions or
-paraphrases of scripture), which are still usually printed at the end of
-the prayer-books containing the new version; and a hymn "on the divine
-use of music"--all accompanied by tunes. The authors also reprinted,
-with very good taste, the excellent version of the "Benedicite" which
-appeared in the book of 1562. Of the hymns in this "supplement," one
-("While shepherds watched their flocks by night") greatly exceeded the
-rest in merit. It has been ascribed to Tate, but it has a character of
-simplicity unlike the rest of his works.
-
-
- Old and new versions compared.
-
-The relative merits of the "Old" and "New" versions have been very
-variously estimated. Competent judges have given the old the praise, which
-certainly cannot be accorded to the new, of fidelity to the Hebrew. In
-both, it must be admitted, that those parts which have poetical merit are
-few and far between; but a reverent taste is likely to be more offended by
-the frequent sacrifice, in the new, of depth of tone and accuracy of sense
-to a fluent commonplace correctness of versification and diction, than by
-any excessive homeliness in the old. In both, however, some psalms, or
-portions of psalms, are well enough rendered to entitle them to a
-permanent place in the hymn-books--especially the 8th, and parts of the
-18th Psalm, by Sternhold; the 57th, 84th and 100th, by Hopkins; the 23rd,
-34th and 36th, and part of the 148th, by Tate and Brady.
-
-The judgment which a fastidious critic might be disposed to pass upon
-both these books may perhaps be considerably mitigated by comparing them
-with the works of other labourers in the same field, of whom Holland, in
-his interesting volumes entitled _Psalmists of Great Britain_,
-enumerates above 150. Some of them have been real poets--the celebrated
-earl of Surrey, Sir Philip Sidney and his sister the countess of
-Pembroke, George Sandys, George Wither, John Milton and John Keble. In
-their versions, as might be expected, there are occasional gleams of
-power and beauty, exceeding anything to be found in Sternhold and
-Hopkins, or Tate and Brady; but even in the best these are rare, and
-chiefly occur where the strict idea of translation has been most widely
-departed from. In all of them, as a rule, the life and spirit, which in
-prose versions of the psalms are so wonderfully preserved, have
-disappeared. The conclusion practically suggested by so many failures is
-that the difficulties of metrical translation, always great, are in this
-case insuperable; and that, while the psalms like other parts of
-scripture are abundantly suggestive of motive and material for
-hymnographers, it is by assimilation and adaptation, and not by any
-attempt to transform their exact sense into modern poetry, that they may
-be best used for this purpose.
-
- The order in council of 1703 is the latest act of any public authority
- by which an express sanction has been given to the use of psalms or
- hymns in the Church of England. At the end, indeed, of many
- Prayer-books, till about the middle of the 19th century, there were
- commonly found, besides some of the hymns sanctioned by that order in
- council, or of those contained in the book of 1562, a sacramental and
- a Christmas hymn by Doddridge; a Christmas hymn (varied by Martin
- Madan) from Charles Wesley; an Easter hymn of the 18th century,
- beginning "Jesus Christ has risen to-day"; and abridgments Bishop
- Ken's Morning and Evening Hymns. These additions first began to be
- made in or about 1791, in London editions of the Prayer-book and
- Psalter, at the mere will and pleasure (so far as appears) of the
- printers. They had no sort of authority.
-
-
- English congregational hymnody.
-
-In the state of authority, opinion and practice disclosed by the
-preceding narrative may be found the true explanation of the fact that,
-in the country of Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare and Milton, and
-notwithstanding the example of Germany, no native congregational hymnody
-worthy of the name arose till after the commencement of the 18th
-century. Yet there was no want of appreciation of the power and value
-of congregational church music. Milton could write, before 1645:--
-
- "There let the pealing organ blow
- To the full-voiced quire below
- In service high, and anthems clear,
- As may with sweetness through mine ear
- Dissolve me into ecstasies,
- And bring all Heaven before mine eyes."
-
-Thomas Mace, in his _Music's Monument_ (1676), thus described the effect
-of psalm-singing before sermons by the congregation in York Minster on
-Sundays, during the siege of 1644: "When that vast concording unity of
-the whole congregational chorus came thundering in, even so as it made
-the very ground shake under us, oh, the unutterable ravishing soul's
-delight! in the which I was so transported and wrapt up in high
-contemplations that there was no room left in my whole man, body, soul
-and spirit, for anything below divine and heavenly raptures; nor could
-there possibly be anything to which that very singing might be truly
-compared, except the right apprehension or conceiving of that glorious
-and miraculous quire, recorded in the scriptures at the dedication of
-the temple." Nor was there any want of men well qualified, and by the
-turn of their minds predisposed, to shine in this branch of literature.
-Some (like Sandys, Boyd and Barton) devoted themselves altogether to
-paraphrases of other scriptures as well as the psalms. Others (like
-George Herbert, and Francis and John Quarles) moralized, meditated,
-soliloquized and allegorized in verse. Without reckoning these, there
-were a few, even before the Restoration, who came very near to the ideal
-of hymnody.
-
-
- Wedderburn.
-
-First in time is the Scottish poet John Wedderburn, who translated
-several of Luther's hymns, and in his _Compendious Book of Godly and
-Spiritual Songs_ added others of his own (or his brothers') composition.
-Some of these poems, published before 1560, are of uncommon excellence,
-uniting ease and melody of rhythm, and structural skill, with grace of
-expression, and simplicity, warmth and reality of religious feeling.
-Those entitled "Give me thy heart," "Go, heart," and "Leave me not,"
-which will be found in a collection of 1860 called _Sacred Songs of
-Scotland_, require little, beyond the change of some archaisms of
-language, to adapt them for church or domestic use at the present day.
-
-
- Dickson.
-
-Next come the two hymns of "The new Jerusalem," by an English Roman
-Catholic priest signing himself F. B. P. (supposed to be "Francis Baker,
-Presbyter"), and by another Scottish poet, David Dickson, of which the
-history is given by Dr Bonar in his edition of Dickson's work. This
-(Dickson's), which begins "O mother dear, Jerusalem," and has long been
-popular in Scotland, is a variation and amplification by the addition of
-a large number of new stanzas of the English original, beginning
-"Jerusalem, my happy home," written in Queen Elizabeth's time, and
-printed (as appears by a copy in the British Museum) about 1616, when
-Dickson was still young. Both have an easy natural flow, and a simple
-happy rendering of the beautiful scriptural imagery upon the subject,
-with a spirit of primitive devotion uncorrupted by medieval
-peculiarities. The English hymn of which some stanzas are now often sung
-in churches is the true parent of the several shorter forms,--all of
-more than common merit,--which, in modern hymn-books, begin with the
-same first line, but afterwards deviate from the original. Kindred to
-these is the very fine and faithful translation, by Dickson's
-contemporary Drummond of Hawthornden of the ancient "Urbs beata
-Hierusalem" ("Jerusalem, that place divine"). Other ancient hymns (two
-of Thomas Aquinas, and the "Dies Irae") were also well translated, in
-1646, by Richard Crashaw, after he had become a Roman Catholic and had
-been deprived by the parliament of his fellowship at Cambridge.
-
-
- Wither.
-
-Conspicuous among the sacred poets of the first two Stuart reigns in
-England was George Wither. His _Hymnes and Songs of the Church_ appeared
-in 1622-1623, under a patent of King James I., by which they were
-declared "worthy and profitable to be inserted, in convenient manner and
-due place, into every English Psalm-book to metre." His _Hallelujah_
-(in which some of the former _Hymnes and Songs_ were repeated) followed
-in 1641. Some of the _Hymnes and Songs_ were set to music by Orlando
-Gibbons, and those in both books were written to be sung, though there
-is no evidence that the author contemplated the use of any of them in
-churches. They included hymns for every day in the week (founded, as
-those contributed nearly a century afterwards by Charles Coffin to the
-Parisian Breviary also were, upon the successive works of the days of
-creation); hymns for all the church seasons and festivals, including
-saints' days; hymns for various public occasions; and hymns of prayer,
-meditation and instruction, for all sorts and conditions of men, under a
-great variety of circumstances--being at once a "Christian Year" and a
-manual of practical piety. Many of them rise to a very high point of
-excellence,--particularly the "general invitation to praise God" ("Come,
-O come, in pious lays"), with which _Hallelujah_ opens; the
-thanksgivings for peace and for victory, the Coronation Hymn, a
-Christmas, an Epiphany, and an Easter Hymn, and one for St Bartholomew's
-day (Hymns 1, 74, 75, and 84 in part i., and 26, 29, 36 and 54 in part
-ii. of _Hallelujah_).
-
-
- Cosin.
-
-John Cosin, afterwards bishop of Durham, published in 1627 a volume of
-"Private Devotions," for the canonical hours and other occasions. In
-this there are seven or eight hymns of considerable merit,--among them a
-very good version of the Ambrosian "Jam lucis orto sidere," and the
-shorter version of the "Veni Creator," which was introduced after the
-Restoration into the consecration and ordination services of the Church
-of England.
-
-
- Milton.
-
-The hymns of Milton (on the Nativity, Passion, Circumcision and "at a
-Solemn Music"), written about 1629, in his early manhood, were probably
-not intended for singing; but they are odes full of characteristic
-beauty and power.
-
-
- Jeremy Taylor.
-
-During the Commonwealth, in 1654, Jeremy Taylor published at the end of
-his _Golden Grove_, twenty-one hymns, described by himself as
-"celebrating the mysteries and chief festivals of the year, according to
-the manner of the ancient church, fitted to the fancy and devotion of
-the younger and pious persons, apt for memory, and to be joined, to
-their other prayers." Of these, his accomplished editor, Bishop Heber,
-justly says:--
-
- "They are in themselves, and on their own account, very interesting
- compositions. Their metre, indeed, which is that species of spurious
- Pindaric which was fashionable with his contemporaries, is an
- obstacle, and must always have been one, to their introduction into
- public or private psalmody; and the mixture of that alloy of conceits
- and quibbles which was an equally frequent and still greater
- defilement of some of the finest poetry of the 17th century will
- materially diminish their effect as devotional or descriptive odes.
- Yet, with all these faults, they are powerful, affecting, and often
- harmonious; there are many passages of which Cowley need not have been
- ashamed, and some which remind us, not disadvantageously, of the
- corresponding productions of Milton."
-
-He mentions particularly the advent hymn ("Lord, come away"), part of
-the hymn "On heaven," and (as "more regular in metre, and in words more
-applicable to public devotion") the "Prayer for Charity" ("Full of
-mercy, full of love").
-
-
- Restoration period.
-
-The epoch of the Restoration produced in 1664 Samuel Crossman's _Young
-Man's Calling_, with a few "Divine Meditations" in verse attached to it;
-in 1668 John Austin's _Devotions in the ancient way of offices, with
-psalms, hymns and prayers for every day in the week and every holyday in
-the year_; and in 1681 Richard Baxter's _Poetical Fragments_. In these
-books there are altogether seven or eight hymns, the whole or parts of
-which are extremely good: Crossman's "New Jerusalem" ("Sweet place,
-sweet place alone"), one of the best of that class, and "My life's a
-shade, my days"; Austin's "Hark, my soul, how everything," "Fain would
-my thoughts fly up to Thee," "Lord, now the time returns," "Wake all my
-hopes, lift up your eyes"; and Baxter's "My whole, though broken heart,
-O Lord," and "Ye holy angels bright." Austin's _Offices_ (he was a Roman
-Catholic) seem to have attracted much attention. Theophilus Dorrington,
-in 1686, published variations of them under the title of _Reformed_
-_Devotions_; George Hickes, the non-juror, wrote one of his numerous
-recommendatory prefaces to S. Hopton's edition; and the Wesleys, in
-their earliest hymn-book, adopted hymns from them, with little
-alteration. These writers were followed by John Mason in 1683, and
-Thomas Shepherd in 1692,--the former, a country clergyman, much esteemed
-by Baxter and other Nonconformists; the latter himself a Nonconformist,
-who finally emigrated to America. Between these two men there was a
-close alliance, Shepherd's _Penitential Cries_ being published as an
-addition to the _Spiritual Songs_ of Mason. Their hymns came into early
-use in several Nonconformist congregations; but, with the exception of
-one by Mason ("There is a stream which issues forth"), they are not
-suitable for public singing. In those of Mason there is often a very
-fine vein of poetry; and later authors have, by extracts or centoes from
-different parts of his works (where they were not disfigured by his
-general quaintness), constructed several hymns of more than average
-excellence.
-
-Three other eminent names of the 17th century remain to be mentioned,
-John Dryden, Bishop Ken and Bishop Simon Patrick; with which may be
-associated that of Addison, though he wrote in the 18th century.
-
-
- Dryden, Ken.
-
- Patrick
-
- Addison.
-
-Dryden's translation of "Veni Creator" a cold and laboured performance,
-is to be met with in many hymn-books. Abridgments of Ken's morning and
-evening hymns are in all. These, with the midnight hymn, which is not
-inferior to them, first appeared In 1697, appended to the third edition
-of the author's _Manual of Prayers for Winchester Scholars_. Between
-these and a large number of other hymns (on the attributes of God, and
-for the festivals of the church) published by Bishop Ken after 1703 the
-contrast is remarkable. The universal acceptance of the morning and
-evening hymns is due to their transparent simplicity, warm but not
-overstrained devotion, and extremely popular style. Those afterwards
-published have no such qualities. They are mystical, florid, stiff,
-didactic and seldom poetical, and deserve the neglect into which they
-have fallen. Bishop Patrick's hymns were chiefly translations from the
-Latin, most of them from Prudentius. The best is a version of "Alleluia
-dulce carmen." Of the five attributed to Addison, not more than three
-are adapted to public singing; one ("The spacious firmament on high") is
-a very perfect and finished composition, taking rank among the best
-hymns in the English language.[3]
-
-From the preface to Simon Browne's hymns, published in 1720, we learn
-that down to the time of Dr Watts the only hymns known to be "in common
-use, either in private families or in Christian assemblies," were those
-of Barton, Mason and Shepherd, together with "an attempt to turn some of
-George Herbert's poems into common metre," and a few sacramental hymns
-by authors now forgotten, named Joseph Boyse (1660-1728) and Joseph
-Stennett. Of the 1410 authors of original British hymns enumerated in
-Daniel Sedgwick's catalogue, published in 1863, 1213 are of later date
-than 1707; and, if any correct enumeration could be made of the total
-number of hymns of all kinds published in Great Britain before and after
-that date, the proportion subsequent to 1707 would be very much larger.
-
-
-The English Independents, as represented by Dr Isaac Watts, have a just
-claim to be considered the real founders of modern English hymnody.
-Watts was the first to understand the nature of the want, and, by the
-publication of his _Hymns_ in 1707-1709, and _Psalms_ (not translations,
-but hymns founded on psalms) in 1709, he led the way in providing for
-it. His immediate followers were Simon Browne and Philip Doddridge.
-Later in the 18th century, Joseph Hart, Thomas Gibbons, Miss Anne
-Steele, Samuel Medley, Samuel Stennett, John Ryland, Benjamin Beddome
-and Joseph Swain succeeded to them.
-
-
- Watts.
-
-Among these writers, most of whom produced some hymns of merit, and
-several are extremely voluminous, Isaac Watts and Philip Doddridge are
-pre-eminent. It has been the fashion with some to disparage Watts, as if
-he had never risen above the level of his _Hymns for Little Children_.
-No doubt his taste is often faulty, and his style very unequal, but,
-looking to the good, and disregarding the large quantity of inferior
-matter, it is probable that more hymns which approach to a very high
-standard of excellence, and are at the same time suitable for
-congregational use, may be found in his works than in those of any other
-English writer. Such are "When I survey the wondrous cross," "Jesus
-shall reign where'er the sun" (and also another adaptation of the same
-72nd Psalm), "Before Jehovah's awful throne" (first line of which,
-however, is not his, but Wesley's), "Joy to the world, the Lord is
-come," "My soul, repeat His praise," "Why do we mourn departing
-friends," "There is a land of pure delight," "Our God, our help in ages
-past," "Up to the hills I lift mine eyes," and many more. It is true
-that in some of these cases dross is found in the original poems mixed
-with gold; but the process of separation, by selection without change,
-is not difficult. As long as pure nervous English, unaffected fervour,
-strong simplicity and liquid yet manly sweetness are admitted to be
-characteristics of a good hymn, works such as these must command
-admiration.
-
-
- Doddridge.
-
-Doddridge is, generally, much more laboured and artificial; but his
-place also as a hymn-writer ought to be determined, not by his failures,
-but by his successes, of which the number is not inconsiderable. In his
-better works he is distinguished by a graceful and pointed, sometimes
-even a noble style. His "Hark, the glad sound, the Saviour comes" (which
-is, indeed, his masterpiece), is as sweet, vigorous and perfect a
-composition as can anywhere be found. Two other hymns, "How gentle God's
-commands," and that which, in a form slightly varied, became the "O God
-of Bethel, by whose hand," of the Scottish "Paraphrases," well represent
-his softer manner.
-
-Of the other followers in the school of Watts, Miss Anne Steele
-(1717-1778) is the most popular and perhaps the best. Her hymn beginning
-"Far from these narrow scenes of night" deserves high praise, even by
-the side of other good performances on the same subject.
-
-The influence of Watts was felt in Scotland, and among the first whom it
-reached there was Ralph Erskine. This seems to have been after the
-publication of Erskine's _Gospel Sonnets_, which appeared in 1732, five
-years before he joined his brother Ebenezer in the Secession Church. The
-_Gospel Sonnets_ became, as some have said, a "people's classic"; but
-there is in them very little which belongs to the category of hymnody.
-More than nineteen-twentieths of this very curious book are occupied
-with what are, in fact, theological treatises and catechisms, mystical
-meditations on Christ as a bridegroom or husband, and spiritual enigmas,
-paradoxes, and antithetical conceits, versified, it is true, but of a
-quality of which such lines as--
-
- "Faith's certain by fiducial arts,
- Sense by its evidential facts,"
-
-may be taken as a sample. The grains of poetry scattered through this
-large mass of Calvinistic divinity are very few; yet in one short
-passage of seven stanzas ("O send me down a draught of love"), the fire
-burns with a brightness so remarkable as to justify a strong feeling of
-regret that the gift which this writer evidently had in him was not more
-often cultivated. Another passage, not so well sustained, but of
-considerable beauty (part of the last piece under the title "The
-believer's soliloquy"), became afterwards, in the hands of John
-Berridge, the foundation of a very striking hymn ("O happy saints, who
-walk in light").
-
-After his secession, Ralph Erskine published two paraphrases of the
-"Song of Solomon," and a number of other "Scripture songs," paraphrased,
-in like manner, from the Old and New Testaments. In these the influence
-of Watts became very apparent, not only by a change in the writer's
-general style, but by the direct appropriation of no small quantity of
-matter from Dr Watts's hymns, with variations which were not always
-improvements. His paraphrases of I Cor. i. 24; Gal. vi. 14; Heb. vi.
-17-19; Rev. v. 11, 12, vii. 10-17, and xii. 7-12 are little else than
-Watts transformed. One of these (Rev. vii. 10-17) is interesting as a
-variation and improvement, intermediate between the original and the
-form which it ultimately assumed as the 66th "Paraphrase" of the Church
-of Scotland, of Watts's "What happy men or angels these," and "These
-glorious minds, how bright they shine." No one can compare it with its
-ultimate product, "How bright these glorious spirits shine," without
-perceiving that William Cameron followed Erskine, and only added finish
-and grace to his work,--both excelling Watts, in this instance, in
-simplicity as well as in conciseness.
-
-
- Scottish paraphrases.
-
-Of the contributions to the authorized "Paraphrases" (with the
-settlement of which committees of the General Assembly of the Church of
-Scotland were occupied from 1745, or earlier, till 1781), the most
-noteworthy, besides the two already mentioned, were those of John
-Morrison and those claimed for Michael Bruce. The obligations of these
-"Paraphrases" to English hymnody, already traced in some instances (to
-which may be added the adoption from Addison of three out of the five
-"hymns" appended to them), are perceptible in the vividness and force
-with which these writers, while adhering with a severe simplicity to the
-sense of the passages of Scripture which they undertook to render,
-fulfilled the conception of a good original hymn. Morrison's "The race
-that long in darkness pined" and "Come, let us to the Lord our God," and
-Bruce's "Where high the heavenly temple stands" (if this was really
-his), are well entitled to that praise. The advocates of Bruce in the
-controversy, not yet closed, as to the poems said to have been entrusted
-by him to John Logan, and published by Logan in his own name, also claim
-for him the credit of having varied the paraphrase "Behold, the mountain
-of the Lord," from its original form, as printed by the committee of the
-General Assembly in 1745, by some excellent touches.
-
-
- Methodist hymns.
-
-Attention must now be directed to the hymns produced by the "Methodist"
-movement, which began about 1738, and which afterwards became divided,
-between those esteemed Arminian, under John Wesley, those who adhered to
-the Moravians, when the original alliance between that body and the
-founders of Methodism was dissolved, and the Calvinists, of whom
-Whitfield was the leader, and Selina, countess of Huntingdon, the
-patroness. Each of these sections had its own hymn-writers, some of whom
-did, and others did not, secede from the Church of England. The
-Wesleyans had Charles Wesley, Robert Seagrave and Thomas Olivers; the
-Moravians, John Cennick, with whom, perhaps, may be classed John Byrom,
-who imbibed the mystical ideas of some of the German schools; the
-Calvinists, Augustus Montague Toplady, John Berridge, William Williams,
-Martin Madan, Thomas Haweis, Rowland Hill, John Newton and William
-Cowper.
-
-
- Charles Wesley.
-
-Among all these writers, the palm undoubtedly belongs to Charles Wesley.
-In the first volume of hymns published by the two brothers are several
-good translations from the German, believed to be by John Wesley, who,
-although he translated and adapted, is not supposed to have written any
-original hymns; and the influence of German hymnody, particularly of the
-works of Paul Gerhardt, Scheffler, Tersteegen and Zinzendorf, may be
-traced in a large proportion of Charles Wesley's works. He is more
-subjective and meditative than Watts and his school; there is a didactic
-turn, even in his most objective pieces, as, for example, in his
-Christmas and Easter hymns; most of his works are supplicatory, and his
-faults are connected with the same habit of mind. He is apt to repeat
-the same thoughts, and to lose force by redundancy--he runs sometimes
-even to a tedious length; his hymns are not always symmetrically
-constructed, or well balanced and finished off. But he has great truth,
-depth and variety of feeling; his diction is manly and always to the
-point; never florid, though sometimes passionate and not free from
-exaggeration; often vivid and picturesque. Of his spirited style there
-are few better examples than "O for a thousand tongues to sing," "Blow
-ye the trumpet, blow," "Rejoice, the Lord is King" and "Come, let us
-join our friends above"; of his more tender vein, "Happy soul, thy days
-are ended"; and of his fervid contemplative style (without going beyond
-hymns fit for general use), "O Thou who earnest from above," "Forth in
-Thy name, O Lord, I go" and "Eternal beam of light divine." With those
-whose taste is for hymns in which warm religious feelings are warmly and
-demonstratively expressed, "Jesus, lover of my soul," is as popular as
-any of these.
-
-
- Olivers.
-
-Of the other Wesleyan hymn-writers, Olivers, originally a Welsh
-shoemaker and afterwards a preacher, is the most remarkable. He is the
-author of only two works, both odes, in a stately metre, and from their
-length unfit for congregational singing, but one of them, "The God of
-Abraham praise," an ode of singular power and beauty.
-
-
- Cennick, Hammond, Byrom.
-
-The Moravian Methodists produced few hymns now available for general
-use. The best are Cennick's "Children of the heavenly King" and
-Hammond's "Awake and sing the song of Moses and the Lamb," the former of
-which (abridged), and the latter as varied by Madan, are found in many
-hymn-books, and are deservedly esteemed. John Byrom, whose name we have
-thought it convenient to connect with these, though he did not belong to
-the Moravian community, was the author of a Christmas hymn ("Christians
-awake, salute the happy morn") which enjoys great popularity; and also
-of a short subjective hymn, very fine both in feeling and in expression,
-"My spirit longeth for Thee within my troubled breast."
-
-
- Toplady.
-
-The contributions of the Calvinistic Methodists to English hymnody are
-of greater extent and value. Few writers of hymns had higher gifts than
-Toplady, author of "Rock of ages," by some esteemed the finest in the
-English language. He was a man of ardent temperament, enthusiastic zeal,
-strong convictions and great energy of character. "He had," says one of
-his biographers, "the courage of a lion, but his frame was brittle as
-glass." Between him and John Wesley there was a violent opposition of
-opinion, and much acrimonious controversy; but the same fervour and zeal
-which made him an intemperate theologian gave warmth, richness and
-spirituality to his hymns. In some of them, particularly those which,
-like "Deathless principle, arise," are meditations after the German
-manner, and not without direct obligation to German originals, the
-setting is somewhat too artificial; but his art is never inconsistent
-with a genuine flow of real feeling. Others (e.g. "When languor and
-disease invade" and "Your harps, ye trembling saints") fail to sustain
-to the end the beauty with which they began, and would have been better
-for abridgment. But in all these, and in most of his other works, there
-is great force and sweetness, both of thought and language, and an easy
-and harmonious versification.
-
-
- Berridge, Williams and R. Hill.
-
-Berridge, William Williams (1717-1791) and Rowland Hill, all men
-remarkable for eccentricity, activity and the devotion of their lives to
-the special work of missionary preaching, though not the authors of many
-good hymns, composed, or adapted from earlier compositions, some of
-great merit. One of Berridge, adapted from Erskine, has been already
-mentioned; another, adapted from Watts, is "Jesus, cast a look on me."
-Williams, a Welshman, who wrote "Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah," was
-especially an apostle of Calvinistic Methodism in his own country, and
-his hymns are still much used in the principality. Rowland Hill wrote
-the popular hymn beginning "Exalted high at God's right hand."
-
-
- Cowper and Newton.
-
-If, however, the number as well as the quality of good hymns available
-for general use is to be regarded, the authors of the _Olney Hymns_ are
-entitled to be placed at the head of all the writers of this Calvinistic
-school. The greater number of the _Olney Hymns_ are, no doubt, homely
-and didactic; but to the best of them, and they are no inconsiderable
-proportion, the tenderness of Cowper and the manliness of John Newton
-(1725-1807) give the interest of contrast, as well as that of sustained
-reality. If Newton carried to some excess the sound principle laid down
-by him, that "perspicuity, simplicity and ease should be chiefly
-attended to, and the imagery and colouring of poetry, if admitted at
-all, should be indulged very sparingly and with great judgment," if he
-is often dry and colloquial, he rises at other times into
-"soul-animating strains," such as "Glorious things of thee are spoken,
-Zion, city of our God"; and sometimes (as in "Approach, my soul, the
-mercy seat") rivals Cowper himself in depth of feeling. Cowper's hymns
-in this book are, almost without exception, worthy of his name. Among
-them are "Hark, my soul, it is the Lord," "There is a fountain filled
-with blood," "Far from the world, O Lord, I flee," "God moves in a
-mysterious way" and "Sometimes a light surprises." Some, perhaps, even
-of these, and others of equal excellence (such as "O for a closer walk
-with God"), speak the language of a special experience, which, in
-Cowper's case, was only too real, but which could not, without a degree
-of unreality not desirable in exercises of public worship, be applied to
-themselves by all ordinary Christians.
-
-
- 19th-century hymns.
-
- R. Grant.
-
- Bowdler.
-
-During the first quarter of the 19th century there were not many
-indications of the tendency, which afterwards became manifest, to
-enlarge the boundaries of British hymnody. _The Remains of Henry Kirke
-White_, published by Southey in 1807, contained a series of hymns, some
-of which are still in use; and a few of Bishop Heber's hymns and those
-of Sir Robert Grant, which, though offending rather too much against
-John Newton's canon, are well known and popular, appeared between 1811
-and 1816, in the _Christian Observer_. In John Bowdler's Remains,
-published soon after his death in 1815, there are a few more of the
-same, perhaps too scholarlike, character. But the chief hymn-writers of
-that period were two clergymen of the Established Church--one in
-Ireland, Thomas Kelly, and the other in England, William Hurn--who both
-became Nonconformists, and the Moravian poet, James Montgomery
-(1771-1854), a native of Scotland.
-
-
- Kelly.
-
-Kelly was the son of an Irish judge, and in 1804 published a small
-volume of ninety-six hymns, which grew in successive editions till, in
-the last before his death in 1854, they amounted to 765. There is, as
-might be expected, in this great number a large preponderance of the
-didactic and commonplace. But not a few very excellent hymns may be
-gathered from them. Simple and natural, without the vivacity and
-terseness of Watts or the severity of Newton, Kelly has some points in
-common with both those writers, and he is less subjective than most of
-the "Methodist" school. His hymns beginning "Lo! He comes, let all adore
-Him," and "Through the day Thy love hath spared us," have a rich,
-melodious movement; and another, "We sing the praise of Him who died,"
-is distinguished by a calm, subdued power, rising gradually from a
-rather low to a very high key.
-
-
- Hurn.
-
-Hurn published in 1813 a volume of 370 hymns, which were afterwards
-increased to 420. There is little in them which deserves to be saved
-from oblivion; but one at least, "There is a river deep and broad," may
-bear comparison with the best of those which have been produced upon the
-same, and it is rather a favourite, theme.
-
-
- Montgomery.
-
-The _Psalms and Hymns_ of James Montgomery were published in 1822 and
-1825, though written earlier. More cultivated and artistic than Kelly,
-he is less simple and natural. His "Hail to the Lord's Anointed," "Songs
-of praise the angels sang" and "Mercy alone can meet my case" are among
-his most successful efforts.
-
-
- Collections of hymns.
-
-During this period, the collections of miscellaneous hymns for
-congregational use, of which the example was set by the Wesleys,
-Whitfield, Toplady and Lady Huntingdon, had greatly multiplied; and with
-them the practice (for which, indeed, too many precedents existed in the
-history of Latin and German hymnody) of every collector altering the
-compositions of other men without scruple, to suit his own doctrine or
-taste; with the effect, too generally, of patching and disfiguring,
-spoiling and emasculating the works so altered, substituting neutral
-tints for natural colouring, and a dead for a living sense. In the
-Church of England the use of these collections had become frequent in
-churches and chapels, principally in cities and towns, where the
-sentiments of the clergy approximated to those of the Nonconformists. In
-rural parishes, when the clergy were not of the "Evangelical" school,
-they were generally held in disfavour; for which, even if doctrinal
-prepossessions had not entered into the question, the great want of
-taste and judgment often manifested in their compilation, and perhaps
-also the prevailing mediocrity of the bulk of the original compositions
-from which most of them were derived, would be enough to account. In
-addition to this, the idea that no hymns ought to be used in any
-services of the Church of England, except prose anthems after the third
-collect, without express royal or ecclesiastical authority, continued
-down to that time largely to prevail among high churchmen.
-
-
- Heber, Milman, Keble.
-
- Mant.
-
- Newman.
-
-Two publications, which appeared almost simultaneously in 1827--Bishop
-Heber's _Hymns_, with a few added by Dean Milman, and John Keble's
-_Christian Year_ (not a hymn-book, but one from which several admirable
-hymns have been taken, and the well-spring of many streams of thought
-and feeling by which good hymns have since been produced)--introduced a
-new epoch, breaking down the barrier as to hymnody which had till then
-existed between the different theological schools of the Church of
-England. In this movement Richard Mant, bishop of Down, was also one of
-the first to co-operate. It soon received a great additional impulse
-from the increased attention which, about the same time, began to be
-paid to ancient hymnody, and from the publication in 1833 of Bunsen's
-_Gesangbuch_. Among its earliest fruits was the _Lyra apostolica_,
-containing hymns, sonnets and other devotional poems, most of them
-originally contributed by some of the leading authors of the _Tracts for
-the Times_ to the _British Magazine_; the finest of which is the
-pathetic "Lead, kindly Light, amid th' encircling gloom," by Cardinal
-Newman--well known, and universally admired. From that time hymns and
-hymn-writers rapidly multiplied in the Church of England, and in
-Scotland also. Nearly 600 authors whose publications were later than
-1827 are enumerated in Sedgwick's catalogue of 1863, and about half a
-million hymns are now in existence. Works, critical and historical, upon
-the subject of hymns, have also multiplied; and collections for church
-use have become innumerable--several of the various religious
-denominations, and many of the leading ecclesiastical and religious
-societies, having issued hymn-books of their own, in addition to those
-compiled for particular dioceses, churches and chapels, and to books
-(like _Hymns Ancient and Modern_, published 1861, supplemented 1889,
-revised edition, 1905) which have become popular without any sanction
-from authority. To mention all the authors of good hymns since the
-commencement of this new epoch would be impossible; but probably no
-names could be chosen more fairly representative of its characteristic
-merits, and perhaps also of some of its defects, than those of Josiah
-Conder and James Edmeston among English Nonconformists; Henry Francis
-Lyte and Charlotte Elliott among evangelicals in the Church of England;
-John Mason Neale and Christopher Wordsworth, bishop of Lincoln, among
-English churchmen of the higher school; Arthur Penrhyn Stanley, Edward
-H. Plumptre, Frances Ridley Havergal; and in Scotland, Dr Horatius
-Bonar, Dr Norman Macleod and Dr George Matheson. American hymn-writers
-belong to the same schools, and have been affected by the same
-influences. Some of them have enjoyed a just reputation on both sides
-of the Atlantic. Among those best known are John Greenleaf Whittier,
-Bishop Doane, Dr W. A. Muhlenberg and Thomas Hastings; and it is
-difficult to praise too highly such works as the Christmas hymn, "It
-came upon the midnight clear," by Edmund H. Sears; the Ascension hymn,
-"Thou, who didst stoop below," by Mrs S. E. Miles; two by Dr Ray Palmer,
-"My faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary," and "Jesus, Thou joy
-of loving hearts," the latter of which is the best among several good
-English versions of "Jesu, dulcedo, cordium"; and "Lord of all being,
-throned afar," by Oliver Wendell Holmes.
-
-The more modern "Moody and Sankey" hymns (see Moody, D. L.) popularized
-a new Evangelical type, and the Salvation Army has carried this still
-farther.
-
-7. _Conclusion._--The object aimed at in this article has been to trace
-the general history of the principal schools of ancient and modern
-hymnody, and especially the history of its use in the Christian church.
-For this purpose it has not been thought necessary to give any account
-of the hymns of Racine, Madame Guyon and others, who can hardly be
-classed with any school, nor of the works of Caesar Malan of Geneva
-(1787-1864) and other quite modern hymn-writers of the Reformed churches
-in Switzerland and France.
-
-On a general view of the whole subject, hymnody is seen to have been a
-not inconsiderable factor in religious worship. It has been sometimes
-employed to disseminate and popularize particular views, but its spirit
-and influence has been, on the whole, catholic. It has embodied the
-faith, trust and hope, and no small part of the inward experience, of
-generation after generation of men, in many different countries and
-climates, of many different nations, and in many varieties of
-circumstances and condition. Coloured, indeed, by these differences, and
-also by the various modes in which the same truths have been apprehended
-by different minds and sometimes reflecting partial and imperfect
-conceptions of them, and errors with which they have been associated in
-particular churches, times and places, its testimony is, nevertheless,
-generally the same. It has upon it a stamp of genuineness which cannot
-be mistaken. It bears witness to the force of a central attraction more
-powerful than all causes of difference, which binds together times
-ancient and modern, nations of various race and language, churchmen and
-nonconformists, churches reformed and unreformed; to a true fundamental
-unity among good Christians; and to a substantial identity in their
-moral and spiritual experience. (S.)
-
- The regular practice of hymnody in English musical history dates from
- the beginning of the 16th century. Luther's verses were adapted
- sometimes to ancient church melodies, sometimes to tunes of secular
- songs, and sometimes had music composed for them by himself and
- others. Many rhyming Latin hymns are of earlier date whose tunes are
- identified with them, some of which tunes, with the subject of their
- Latin text, are among the Reformer's appropriations; but it was he who
- put the words of praise and prayer into the popular mouth, associated
- with rhythmical music which aided to imprint the words upon the memory
- and to enforce their enunciation. In conjunction with his friend
- Johann Walther, Luther issued a collection of poems for choral singing
- in 1524, which was followed by many others in North Germany. The
- English versions of the Psalms by Sternhold and Hopkins and their
- predecessors, and the French version by Clement Marot and Theodore
- Beza, were written with the same purpose of fitting sacred minstrelsy
- to the voice of the multitude. Goudimel in 1566 and Claudin le Jeune
- in 1607 printed harmonizations of tunes that had then become standard
- for the Psalms, and in England several such publications appeared,
- culminating in Thomas Ravenscroft's famous collection, _The Whole Book
- of Psalms_ (1621); in all of these the arrangements of the tunes were
- by various masters. The English practice of hymn-singing was much
- strengthened on the return of the exiled reformers from Frankfort and
- Geneva, when it became so general that, according to Bishop Jewell,
- thousands of the populace who assembled at Paul's Cross to hear the
- preaching would join in the singing of psalms before and after the
- sermon.
-
- The placing of the choral song of the church within the lips of the
- people had great religious and moral influence; it has had also its
- great effect upon art, shown in the productions of the North German
- musicians ever since the first days of the Reformation, which abound
- in exercises of scholarship and imagination wrought upon the tunes of
- established acceptance. Some of these are accompaniments to the tunes
- with interludes between the several strains, and some are
- compositions for the organ or for orchestral instruments that consist
- of such elaboration of the themes as is displayed in accompaniments to
- voices, but of far more complicated and extended character. A special
- art-form that was developed to a very high degree, but has passed into
- comparative disuse, was the structure of all varieties of counterpoint
- extemporaneously upon the known hymn-tunes (chorals), and several
- masters acquired great fame by success in its practice, of whom J. A.
- Reinken (1623-1722), Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706), Georg Boehm and the
- great J. S. Bach are specially memorable. The hymnody of North Germany
- has for artistic treatment a strong advantage which is unpossessed by
- that of England, in that for the most part the same verses are
- associated with the same tunes, so that, whenever the text or the
- music is heard, either prompts recollection of the other, whereas in
- England tunes were always and are now often composed to metres and not
- to poems; any tune in a given metre is available for every poem in the
- same, and hence there are various tunes to one poem, and various poems
- to one tune.[4] In England a tune is named generally after some
- place--as "York," "Windsor," "Dundee,"--or by some other unsignifying
- word; in North Germany a tune is mostly named by the initial words of
- the verses to which it is allied, and consequently, whenever it is
- heard, whether with words or without, it necessarily suggests to the
- hearer the whole subject of that hymn of which it is the musical
- moiety undivorceable from the literary half. Manifold as they are,
- knowledge of the choral tunes is included in the earliest schooling of
- every Lutheran and every Calvinist in Germany, which thus enables all
- to take part in performance of the tunes, and hence expressly the
- definition of "choral." Compositions grounded on the standard tune are
- then not merely school exercises, but works of art which link the
- sympathies of the writer and the listener, and aim at expressing the
- feeling prompted by the hymn under treatment.

- them among Marvell's poems, as published in the body of his edition;
- and he advanced a like claim on like grounds to two other poems, in

-HYPAETHROS (Gr. [Greek: hypaithros], beneath the sky, in the open air,
-[Greek: hypo], beneath, and [Greek: aither], air), the Greek term quoted
-by Vitruvius (iii. 2) for the opening in the middle of the roof of
-decastyle temples, of which "there was no example in Rome, but one in
-Athens in the temple of Jupiter Olympius, which is octastyle." But at
-the time he wrote (c. 25 B.C.) the cella of this temple was unroofed,
-because the columns which had been provided to carry, at all events,
-part of the ceiling and roof had been taken away by Sulla in 80 B.C. The
-decastyle temple of Apollo Didymaeus near Miletus was, according to
-Strabo (c. 50 B.C.), unroofed, on account of the vastness of its cella,
-in which precious groves of laurel bushes were planted. Apart from these
-two examples, the references in various writers to an opening of some
-kind in the roofs of temples dedicated to particular deities, and the
-statement of Vitruvius, which was doubtless based on the writings of
-Greek authors, that in decastyle or large temples the centre was open to
-the sky and without a roof (_medium autem sub divo est sine tecto_),
-render the existence of the hypaethros probable in some cases; and
-therefore C. R. Cockerell's discovery in the temple at Aegina of two
-fragments of a coping-stone, in which there were sinkings on one side to
-receive the tiles and covering tiles, has been of great importance in
-the discussion of this subject. In the conjectural restoration of the
-opaion or opening in the roof shown in Cockerell's drawing, it has been
-made needlessly large, having an area of about one quarter of the
-superficial area of the cella between the columns, and since in the
-Pantheon at Rome the relative proportions of the central opening in the
-dome and the area of the Rotunda are 1: 22, and the light there is
-ample, in the clearer atmosphere of Greece it might have been less. The
-larger the opening the more conspicuous would be the notch in the roof
-which is so greatly objected to; in this respect T. J. Hittorff would
-seem to be nearer the truth when, in his conjectural restoration of
-Temple R. at Selinus, he shows an opaion about half the relative size
-shown in Cockerell's of that at Aegina, the coping on the side elevation
-being much less noticeable. The problem was apparently solved in another
-way at Bassae, where, in the excavations of the temple of Apollo by
-Cockerell and Baron Haller von Hallerstein, three marble tiles were
-found with pierced openings in them about 18 in. by 10 in.; five of
-these pierced tiles on either side would have amply lighted the interior
-of the cella, and the amount of rain passing through (a serious element
-to be considered in a country where torrential rains occasionally fall)
-would not be very great or more than could be retained to dry up in the
-cella sunk pavement. In favour of both these methods of lighting the
-interior of the cella, the sarcophagus tomb at Cyrene, about 20 ft.
-long, carved in imitation of a temple, has been adduced, because, on the
-top of the roof and in its centre, there is a raised coping, and a
-similar feature is found on a tomb found near Delos; an example from
-Crete now in the British Museum shows a pierced tile on each side of
-the roof, and a large number of pierced tiles have been found in
-Pompeii, some of them surrounded with a rim identical with that of the
-marble tiles at Bassae. On the other hand, there are many authorities,
-among them Dr W. Dorpfeld, who have adhered to their original opinion
-that it was only through the open doorway that light was ever admitted
-into the cella, and with the clear atmosphere of Greece and the
-reflections from the marble pavement such lighting would be quite
-sufficient. There remains still another source of light to be
-considered, that passing through the Parian marble tiles of the roof;
-the superior translucency of Parian to any other marble may have
-suggested its employment for the roofs of temples, and if, in the framed
-ceilings carried over the cella, openings were left, some light from the
-Parian tile roof might have been obtained. It is possibly to this that
-Plutarch refers when describing the ceiling and roof of the temple of
-Demeter at Eleusis, where the columns in the interior of the temple
-carried a ceiling, probably constructed of timbers crossing one another
-at right angles, and one or more of the spaces was left open, which
-Xenocles surmounted by a roof formed of tiles.
-
- James Fergusson put forward many years ago a conjectural restoration
- in which he adopted a clerestory above the superimposed columns inside
- the cella; in order to provide the light for these windows he
- indicated two trenches in the roof, one on each side, and pointed out
- that the great Hall of Columns at Karnak was lighted in this way with
- clerestory windows; but in the first place the light in the latter was
- obtained over the flat roofs covering lower portions of the hall, and
- in the second place, as it rarely rains in Thebes, there could be no
- difficulty about the drainage, while in Greece, with the torrential
- rains and snow, these trenches would be deluged with water, and with
- all the appliances of the present day it would be impossible to keep
- these clerestory windows watertight. There is, however, still another
- objection to Fergusson's theory; the water collecting in these
- trenches on the roof would have to be discharged, for which
- Fergusson's suggestions are quite inadequate, and the gargoyles shown
- in the cella wall would make the peristyle insupportable just at the
- time when it was required for shelter. No drainage otherwise of any
- kind has ever been found in any Greek temple, which is fatal to
- Fergusson's view. Nor is it in accordance with the definition "open to
- the sky." English cathedrals and churches are all lighted by
- clerestory windows, but no one has described them as open to the sky,
- and although Vitruvius's statements are sometimes confusing, his
- description is far too clear to leave any misunderstanding as to the
- lighting of temples (where it was necessary on account of great
- length) through an opening in the roof.
-
- There is one other theory which has been put forward, but which can
- only apply to non-peristylar temples,--that light and air was admitted
- through the metopes, the apertures between the beams crossing the
- cella,--and it has been assumed that because Orestes was advised in
- one of the Greek plays to climb up and look through the metopes of the
- temple, these were left open; but if Orestes could look in, so could
- the birds, and the statue of the god would be defiled. The metopes
- were probably filled in with shutters of some kind which Orestes knew
- how to open. (R. P. S.)

-HYPALLAGE (Gr. [Greek: hypallage], interchange or exchange), a
-rhetorical figure, in which the proper relation between two words
-according to the rules of syntax are inverted. The stock instance is
-that in Virgil, _Aen._ iii. 61, where _dare classibus austros_, to give
-winds to the fleet, is put for _dare classes austris_, to give the fleet
-to the winds. The term is also loosely applied to figures of speech
-properly known as "metonymy" and, generally, to any striking turn of
-expression.

-HYPATIA ([Greek: Hypatia]) (c. A.D. 370-415) mathematician and
-philosopher, born in Alexandria, was the daughter of Theon, also a
-mathematician and philosopher, author of scholia on Euclid and a
-commentary on the _Almagest_, in which it is suggested that he was
-assisted by Hypatia (on the 3rd book). After lecturing in her native
-city, Hypatia ultimately became the recognized head of the Neoplatonic
-school there (c. 400). Her great eloquence and rare modesty and beauty,
-combined with her remarkable intellectual gifts, attracted to her
-class-room a large number of pupils. Among these was Synesius,
-afterwards (c. 410) bishop of Ptolemais, several of whose letters to
-her, full of chivalrous admiration and reverence, are still extant.
-Suidas, misled by an incomplete excerpt in Photius from the life of
-Isidorus (the Neoplatonist) by Damascius, states that Hypatia was the
-wife of Isidorus; but this is chronologically impossible, since Isidorus
-could not have been born before 434 (see Hoche in _Philologus_). Shortly
-after the accession of Cyril to the patriarchate of Alexandria in 412,
-owing to her intimacy with Orestes, the pagan prefect of the city,
-Hypatia was barbarously murdered by the Nitrian monks and the fanatical
-Christian mob (March 415). Socrates has related how she was torn from
-her chariot, dragged to the Caesareum (then a Christian church),
-stripped naked, done to death with oyster-shells ([Greek: ostrakois
-aneilon,] perhaps "cut her throat") and finally burnt piecemeal. Most
-prominent among the actual perpetrators of the crime was one Peter, a
-reader; but there seems little reason to doubt Cyril's complicity (see
-CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA).
-
-Hypatia, according to Suidas, was the author of commentaries on the
-_Arithmetica_ of Diophantus of Alexandria, on the Conics of Apollonius
-of Perga and on the astronomical canon (of Ptolemy). These works are
-lost; but their titles, combined with expressions in the letters of
-Synesius, who consulted her about the construction of an astrolabe and a
-hydroscope, indicate that she devoted herself specially to astronomy and
-mathematics. Little is known of her philosophical opinions, but she
-appears to have embraced the intellectual rather than the mystical side
-of Neoplatonism, and to have been a follower of Plotinus rather than of
-Porphyry and Iamblichus. Zeller, however, in his _Outlines of Greek
-Philosophy_ (1886, Eng. trans. p. 347), states that "she appears to have
-taught the Neoplatonic doctrine in the form in which Iamblichus had
-stated it." A Latin letter to Cyril on behalf of Nestorius, printed in
-the _Collectio nova conciliorum_, i. (1623), by Stephanus Baluzius
-(Etienne Baluze, q.v.), and sometimes attributed to her, is undoubtedly
-spurious. The story of Hypatia appears in a considerably disguised yet
-still recognizable form in the legend of St Catherine as recorded in the
-Roman _Breviary_ (November 25), and still more fully in the
-_Martyrologies_ (see A. B. Jameson, _Sacred and Legendary Art_ (1867)
-ii. 467.)
-
- The chief source for the little we know about Hypatia is the account
- given by Socrates (_Hist. ecclesiastica_, vii. 15). She is the subject
- of an epigram by Palladas in the Greek Anthology (ix. 400). See
- Fabricius, _Bibliotheca Graeca_ (ed. Harles), ix. 187; John Toland,
- _Tetradymus_ (1720); R. Hoche in _Philologus_ (1860), xv. 435;
- monographs by Stephan Wolf (Czernowitz, 1879), H. Ligier (Dijon, 1880)
- and W. A. Meyer (Heidelberg, 1885), who devotes attention to the
- relation of Hypatia to the chief representatives of Neoplatonism; J.
- B. Bury, _Hist. of the Later Roman Empire_ (1889), i. 208,317; A.
- Guldenpenning, _Geschichte des ostromischen Reiches unter Arcadius und
- Theodosius II._ (Halle, 1885), p. 230; Wetzer and Welte,
- _Kirchenlexikon_, vi. (1889), from a Catholic standpoint. The story of
- Hypatia also forms the basis of the well-known historical romance by
- Charles Kingsley (1853).

-HYPERBATON (Gr. [Greek: huperbaton], a stepping over), the name of a

-
-HYPERBOLA, a conic section, consisting of two open branches, each
-extending to infinity. It may be defined in several ways. The _in
-solido_ definition as the section of a cone by a plane at a less
-inclination to the axis than the generator brings out the existence of
-the two infinite branches if we imagine the cone to be double and to
-extend to infinity. The _in plano_ definition, i.e. as the conic having
-an eccentricity greater than unity, is a convenient starting-point for
-the Euclidian investigation. In projective geometry it may be defined as
-the conic which intersects the line at infinity in two real points, or
-to which it is possible to draw two real tangents from the centre.
-Analytically, it is defined by an equation of the second degree, of
-which the highest terms have real roots (see CONIC SECTION).
-
- While resembling the parabola in extending to infinity, the curve has
- closest affinities to the ellipse. Thus it has a real centre, two
- foci, two directrices and two vertices; the transverse axis, joining
- the vertices, corresponds to the major axis of the ellipse, and the
- line through the centre and perpendicular to this axis is called the
- conjugate axis, and corresponds to the minor axis of the ellipse;
- about these axes the curve is symmetrical. The curve does not appear
- to intersect the conjugate axis, but the introduction of imaginaries
- permits us to regard it as cutting this axis in two unreal points.
- Calling the foci S, S', the real vertices A, A', the extremities of
- the conjugate axis B, B' and the centre C, the positions of B, B' are
- given by AB = AB' = CS. If a rectangle be constructed about AA' and
- BB', the diagonals of this figure are the "asymptotes" of the curve;
- they are the tangents from the centre, and hence touch the curve at
- infinity. These two lines may be pictured in the _in solido_
- definition as the section of a cone by a plane through its vertex and
- parallel to the plane generating the hyperbola. If the asymptotes be
- perpendicular, or, in other words, the principal axes be equal, the
- curve is called the rectangular hyperbola. The hyperbola which has for
- its transverse and conjugate axes the transverse and conjugate axes of
- another hyperbola is said to be the conjugate hyperbola.
-
- Some properties of the curve will be briefly stated: If PN be the
- ordinate of the point P on the curve, AA' the vertices, X the meet of
- the directrix and axis and C the centre, then PN^2: AN.NA': : SX^2:
- AX.A'X, i.e. PN^2 is to AN.NA' in a constant ratio. The circle on AA'
- as diameter is called the auxiliarly circle; obviously AN.NA' equals
- the square of the tangent to this circle from N, and hence the ratio
- of PN to the tangent to the auxiliarly circle from N equals the ratio
- of the conjugate axis to the transverse. We may observe that the
- asymptotes intersect this circle in the same points as the
- directrices. An important property is: the difference of the focal
- distances of any point on the curve equals the transverse axis. The
- tangent at any point bisects the angle between the focal distances of
- the point, and the normal is equally inclined to the focal distances.
- Also the auxiliarly circle is the locus of the feet of the
- perpendiculars from the foci on any tangent. Two tangents from any
- point are equally inclined to the focal distance of the point. If the
- tangent at P meet the conjugate axis in t, and the transverse in N,
- then Ct. PN = BC^2; similarly if g and G be the corresponding
- intersections of the normal, PG : Pg : : BC^2 : AC^2. A diameter is a
- line through the centre and terminated by the curve: it bisects all
- chords parallel to the tangents at its extremities; the diameter
- parallel to these chords is its conjugate diameter. Any diameter is a
- mean proportional between the transverse axis and the focal chord
- parallel to the diameter. Any line cuts off equal distances between
- the curve and the asymptotes. If the tangent at P meets the asymptotes
- in R, R', then CR.CR' = CS^2. The geometry of the rectangular
- hyperbola is simplified by the fact that its principal axes are equal.
-
- Analytically the hyperbola is given by ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 + 2gx + 2fy
- + c = 0 wherein ab > h^2. Referred to the centre this becomes Ax^2 +
- 2Hxy + By^2 + C = 0; and if the axes of coordinates be the principal
- axes of the curve, the equation is further simplified to Ax^2 - By^2 =
- C, or if the semi-transverse axis be a, and the semi-conjugate b,
- x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2 = 1. This is the most commonly used form. In the
- rectangular hyperbola a = b; hence its equation is x^2 - y^2 = 0. The
- equations to the asymptotes are x/a = [+-]y/b and x = [+-]y
- respectively. Referred to the asymptotes as axes the general equation
- becomes xy = k^2; obviously the axes are oblique in the general
- hyperbola and rectangular in the rectangular hyperbola. The values of
- the constant k^2 are (1/2)(a^2 + b^2) and (1/2)a^2 respectively. (See
- GEOMETRY: _Analytical_; _Projective_.)

-
-HYPERBOREANS ([Greek: Hyperboreoi, Hyperboreioi]), a mythical people
-intimately connected with the worship of Apollo. Their name does not
-occur in the _Iliad_ or the _Odyssey_, but Herodotus (iv. 32) states
-that they were mentioned in Hesiod and in the _Epigoni_, an epic of the
-Theban cycle. According to Herodotus, two maidens, Opis and Arge, and
-later two others, Hyperoche and Laodice, escorted by five men, called by
-the Delians Perpherees, were sent by the Hyperboreans with certain
-offerings to Delos. Finding that their messengers did not return, the
-Hyperboreans adopted the plan of wrapping the offerings in wheat-straw
-and requested their neighbours to hand them on to the next nation, and
-so on, till they finally reached Delos. The theory of H. L. Ahrens, that
-Hyperboreans and Perpherees are identical, is now widely accepted. In
-some of the dialects of northern Greece (especially Macedonia and
-Delphi) [phi] had a tendency to become [beta]. The original form of
-[Greek: Perpherees] was [Greek: hyperpheretai] or [Greek: hyperphoroi]
-("those who carry over"), which becoming [Greek: hyperboroi] gave rise
-to the popular derivation from [Greek: boreas] ("dwellers beyond the
-north wind"). The Hyperboreans were thus the bearers of the sacrificial
-gifts to Apollo over land and sea, irrespective of their home, the name
-being given to Delphians, Thessalians, Athenians and Delians. It is
-objected by O. Schroder that the form [Greek: Perpherees] requires a
-passive meaning, "those who are carried round the altar," perhaps
-dancers like the whirling dervishes; distinguishing them from the
-Hyperboreans, he explains the latter as those who live "above the
-mountains," that is, in heaven. Under the influence of the derivation
-from [Greek: boreas], the home of the Hyperboreans was placed in a
-region beyond the north wind, a paradise like the Elysian plains,
-inaccessible by land or sea, whither Apollo could remove those mortals
-who had lived a life of piety. It was a land of perpetual sunshine and
-great fertility; its inhabitants were free from disease and war. The
-duration of their life was 1000 years, but if any desired to shorten it,
-he decked himself with garlands and threw himself from a rock into the
-sea. The close connexion of the Hyperboreans with the cult of Apollo may
-be seen by comparing the Hyperborean myths, the characters of which by
-their names mostly recall Apollo or Artemis (Agyieus, Opis, Hecaergos,
-Loxo), with the ceremonial of the Apolline worship. No meat was eaten at
-the Pyanepsia; the Hyperboreans were vegetarians. At the festival of
-Apollo at Leucas a victim flung himself from a rock into the sea, like
-the Hyperborean who was tired of life. According to an Athenian decree
-(380 B.C.) asses were sacrificed to Apollo at Delphi, and Pindar
-(_Pythia_, x. 33) speaks of "hecatombs of asses" being offered to him by
-the Hyperboreans. As the latter conveyed sacrificial gifts to Delos
-hidden in wheat-straw, so at the Thargelia a sheaf of corn was carried
-round in procession, concealing a symbol of the god (for other
-resemblances see Crusius's article). Although the Hyperborean legends
-are mainly connected with Delphi and Delos, traces of them are found in
-Argos (the stories of Heracles, Perseus, Io), Attica, Macedonia, Thrace,
-Sicily and Italy (which Niebuhr indeed considers their original home).
-In modern times the name has been applied to a group of races, which
-includes the Chukchis, Koryaks, Yukaghirs, Ainus, Gilyaks and
-Kamchadales, inhabiting the arctic regions of Asia and America. But if
-ever ethnically one, the Asiatic and American branches are now as far
-apart from each other as they both are from the Mongolo-Tatar stock.

-HYPEREIDES (c. 390-322 B.C.), one of the ten Attic orators, was the son
-of Glaucippus, of the deme of Collytus. Having studied under Isocrates,
-he began life as a writer of speeches for the courts, and in 360 he
-prosecuted Autocles, a general charged with treason in Thrace (frags.
-55-65, Blass). At the time of the so-called "Social War" (358-355) he
-accused Aristophon, then one of the most influential men at Athens, of
-malpractices (frags. 40-44, Blass), and impeached Philocrates (343) for
-high treason. From the peace of 346 to 324 Hypereides supported
-Demosthenes in the struggle against Macedon; but in the affair of
-Harpalus he was one of the ten public prosecutors of Demosthenes, and on
-the exile of his former leader he became the head of the patriotic party
-(324). After the death of Alexander, he was the chief promoter of the
-Lamian war against Antipater and Craterus. After the decisive defeat at
-Crannon (322), Hypereides and the other orators, whose surrender was
-demanded by Antipater, were condemned to death by the Athenian partisans
-of Macedonia. Hypereides fled to Aegina, but Antipater's emissaries
-dragged him from the temple of Aeacus, where he had taken refuge, and
-put him to death; according to others, he was taken before Antipater at
-Athens or Cleonae. His body was afterwards removed to Athens for burial.
-
-Hypereides was an ardent pursuer of "the beautiful," which in his time
-generally meant pleasure and luxury. His temper was easy-going and
-humorous; and hence, though in his development of the periodic sentence
-he followed Isocrates, the essential tendencies of his style are those
-of Lysias, whom he surpassed, however, in the richness of his vocabulary
-and in the variety of his powers. His diction was plain and forcible,
-though he occasionally indulged in long compound words probably borrowed
-from the Middle Comedy, with which, and with the everyday life of his
-time, he was in full sympathy. His composition was simple. He was
-specially distinguished for subtlety of expression, grace and wit, as
-well as for tact in approaching his case and handling his subject
-matter. Sir R. C. Jebb sums up the criticism of pseudo-Longinus (_De
-sublimitate_, 34) in the phrase--"Hypereides was the Sheridan of
-Athens."
-
- Seventy-seven speeches were attributed to Hypereides, of which
- twenty-five were regarded as spurious even by ancient critics. It is
- said that a MS. of most of the speeches was in existence in the 16th
- century in the library of Matthias Corvinus, king of Hungary, at Ofen,
- but was destroyed at the capture of the city by the Turks in 1526.
- Only a few fragments were known until comparatively recent times. In
- 1847 large fragments of his speeches Against _Demosthenes_ (see above)
- and _For Lycophron_ (incidentally interesting as elucidating the order
- of marriage processions and other details of Athenian life, and the
- Athenian government of Lemnos), and the whole of the _For Euxenippus_
- (c. 330, a _locus classicus_ on [Greek: eisangeliai] or state
- prosecutions), were found in a tomb at Thebes in Egypt, and in 1856 a
- considerable portion of a [Greek: logos epitaphios], a _Funeral
- Oration_ over Leosthenes and his comrades who had fallen in the Lamian
- war, the best extant specimen of epideictic oratory (see BABINGTON,
- CHURCHILL). Towards the end of the century further discoveries were
- made of the conclusion of the speech _Against Philippides_ (dealing
- with a [Greek: graphe paranomon], or indictment for the proposal of an
- unconstitutional measure, arising out of the disputes of the
- Macedonian and anti-Macedonian parties at Athens), and of the whole of
- the _Against Athenogenes_ (a perfumer accused of fraud in the sale of
- his business). These have been edited by F. G. Kenyon (1893). An
- important speech that is lost is the _Deliacus_ (frags. 67-75, Blass)
- on the presidency of the Delian temple claimed by both Athens and
- Delos, which was adjudged by the Amphictyons to Athens.
-
- On Hypereides generally see pseudo-Plutarch, _Decem oratorum vitae_;
- F. Blass, _Attische Beredsamkeit_, iii.; R. C. Jebb, _Attic Orators_,

-HYPERION, in Greek mythology, one of the Titans, son of Uranus and Gaea
-and father of Helios, the sun-god (Hesiod, _Theog._ 134, 371;
-Apollodorus i. 1. 2). In the well-known passage in Shakespeare
-(_Hamlet_, i. 2: "Hyperion to a satyr," where as in other poets the
-vowel -_i_- though really long, is shortened for metrical reasons)
-Hyperion is used for Apollo as expressive of the idea of beauty. The
-name is often used as an epithet of Helios, who is himself sometimes
-called simply Hyperion. It is explained as (1) he who moves above
-([Greek: hyper-ion]), but the quantity of the vowel is against this; (2)
-he who is above ([Greek: hyperi-on]). Others take it to be a patronymic
-in form, like [Greek: Kronion, Molion].

-HYPERSTHENE, a rock-forming mineral belonging to the group of
-orthorhombic pyroxenes. It differs from the other members (enstatite
-[q.v.] and bronzite) of this group in containing a considerable amount
-of iron replacing magnesium: the chemical formula is (Mg, Fe)SiO3.
-Distinctly developed crystals are rare, the mineral being usually found
-as foliated masses embedded in those igneous rocks--norite,
-hypersthene-andesite, &c.--of which it forms an essential constituent.
-The coarsely grained labradorite-hypersthene-rock (norite) of the island
-of St Paul off the coast of Labrador has furnished the most typical
-material; and for this reason the mineral has been known as "Labrador
-hornblende" or paulite. The colour is brownish-black, and the pleochrism
-strong; the hardness is 6, and the specific gravity 3.4-3.5. On certain
-surfaces it displays a brilliant copper-red metallic sheen or schiller,
-which has the same origin as the bronzy sheen of bronzite (q.v.), but is
-even more pronounced. Like bronzite, it is sometimes cut and polished
-for ornamental purposes. (L. J. S.)

-
-HYPERTROPHY (Gr. [Greek: hyper], over, and [Greek: trophe],
-nourishment), a term in medicine employed to designate an abnormal
-increase in bulk of one or more of the organs or component tissues of
-the body (see PATHOLOGY). In its strict sense this term can only be
-applied where the increase affects the natural textures of a part, and
-is not applicable where the enlargement is due to the presence of some
-extraneous morbid formation. Hypertrophy of a part may manifest itself
-either by simply an increase in the size of its constituents, or by this
-combined with an increase in their number (hyperplasia). In many
-instances both are associated.
-
-The conditions giving rise to hypertrophy are the reverse of those
-described as producing Atrophy (q.v.). They are concisely stated by Sir
-James Paget as being chiefly or only three, namely: (1) the increased
-exercise of a part in its healthy functions; (2) an increased
-accumulation in the blood of the particular materials which a part
-appropriates to its nutrition or in secretion; and (3) an increased
-afflux of healthy blood.
-
-Illustrations are furnished of the first of these conditions by the high
-development of muscular tissue under habitual active exercise; of the
-second in the case of obesity, which is an hypertrophy of the fatty
-tissues, the elements of which are furnished by the blood; and of the
-third in the occasional overgrowth of hair in the neighbourhood of parts
-which are the seat of inflammation. Obviously therefore, in many
-instances, hypertrophy cannot be regarded as a deviation from health,
-but rather on the contrary as indicative of a high degree of nutrition
-and physical power. Even in those cases where it is found associated
-with disease, it is often produced as a salutary effort of nature to
-compensate for obstructions or other difficulties which have arisen in
-the system, and thus to ward off evil consequences. No better example of
-this can be seen than in the case of certain forms of heart disease,
-where from defect at some of the natural orifices of that organ the
-onward flow of the blood is interfered with, and would soon give rise to
-serious embarrassment to the circulation, were it not that behind the
-seat of obstruction the heart gradually becomes hypertrophied, and thus
-acquires greater propelling power to overcome the resistance in front.
-Again, it has been noticed, in the case of certain double organs such as
-the kidneys, that when one has been destroyed by disease the other has
-become hypertrophied to such a degree as enables it to discharge the
-functions of both.
-
-Hypertrophy may, however, in certain circumstances constitute a disease,
-as in goitre and elephantiasis (q.v.), and also in the case of certain
-tumours and growths (such as cutaneous excrescences, fatty tumours,
-mucous polypi, &c.), which are simply enlargements of normal textures.
-Hypertrophy does not in all cases involve an increase in bulk; for, just
-as in atrophy there may be no diminution in the size of the affected
-organ, so in hypertrophy there may be no increase. This is apt to be the
-case where certain only of the elements of an organ undergo increase,
-while the others remain unaffected or are actually atrophied by the
-pressure of the hypertrophied tissue, as is seen in the disease known as
-cirrhosis of the liver.
-
-A spurious hypertrophy is observed in the rare disease to which G. B.
-Duchenne applied the name of _pseudo-hypertrophic paralysis_. This
-ailment, which appears to be confined to children, consists essentially
-of a progressive loss of power accompanied with a remarkable enlargement
-of certain muscles or groups of muscles, more rarely of the whole
-muscular system. This increase of bulk is, however, not a true
-hypertrophy, but rather an excessive development of connective tissue in
-the substance of the muscles, the proper texture of which tends in
-consequence to undergo atrophy or degeneration. The appearance presented
-by a child suffering from this disease is striking. The attitude and
-gait are remarkably altered, the child standing with shoulders thrown
-back, small of the back deeply curved inwards, and legs wide apart,
-while walking is accompanied with a peculiar swinging or rocking
-movement. The calves of the legs, the buttocks, the muscles of the back,
-and occasionally other muscles, are seen to be unduly enlarged, and
-contrast strangely with the general feebleness. The progress of the
-disease is marked by increasing failure of locomotory power, and
-ultimately by complete paralysis of the limbs. The malady is little
-amenable to treatment, and, although often prolonged for years,
-generally proves fatal before the period of maturity.

-
-
-HYPNOTISM, a term now in general use as covering all that pertains to
-the art of inducing the hypnotic state, or hypnosis, and to the study of
-that state, its conditions, peculiarities and effects. Hypnosis is a
-condition, allied to normal sleep (Gr. [Greek: hypnos]), which can be
-induced in a large majority of normal persons. Its most characteristic
-and constant symptom is the increased suggestibility of the subject (see
-SUGGESTION). Other symptoms are very varied and differ widely in
-different subjects and in the same subject at different times. There can
-be no doubt that the increased suggestibility and all the other symptoms
-of hypnosis imply some abnormal condition of the brain of a temporary
-and harmless nature. It would seem that in all ages and in almost all
-countries individuals have occasionally fallen into abnormal states of
-mind more or less closely resembling the hypnotic state, and have
-thereby excited the superstitious wonder of their fellows. In some cases
-the state has been deliberately induced, in others it has appeared
-spontaneously, generally under the influence of some emotional
-excitement. The most familiar of these allied states is the somnambulism
-or sleep-walking to which some persons seem to be hereditarily disposed.
-Of a rather different type are the states of ecstasy into which
-religious enthusiasts have occasionally fallen and which were especially
-frequent among the peoples of Europe during the middle ages. While in
-this condition individuals have appeared to be insensitive to all
-impressions made on their sense-organs, even to such as would excite
-acute pain in normal persons, have been capable of maintaining rigid
-postures for long periods of time, have experienced vivid
-hallucinations, and have produced, through the power of the imagination,
-extraordinary organic changes in the body, such as the bloody stigmata
-on the hands and feet in several well-attested instances. It has been
-proved in recent years that effects of all these kinds may be produced
-by hypnotic suggestion. Different again, but closely paralleled by some
-subjects in hypnosis, is the state of _latah_ into which a certain
-proportion of persons of the Malay race are liable to fall. These
-persons, if their attention is suddenly and forcibly drawn to any other
-person, will begin to imitate his every action and attitude, and may do
-so in spite of their best efforts to restrain their imitative movements.
-Among the half-bred French-Canadians of the forest regions of Canada
-occur individuals, known as "jumpers," who are liable to fall suddenly
-into a similar state of abject imitativeness, and the same peculiar
-behaviour has been observed among some of the remote tribes of Siberia.
-
-The deliberate induction of states identical with, or closely allied to,
-hypnosis is practised by many barbarous and savage peoples, generally
-for ceremonial purposes. Thus, certain dervishes of Algiers are said to
-induce in themselves, by the aid of the sound of drums, monotonous songs
-and movements, a state in which they are insensitive to pain, and a
-similar practice of religious devotees is reported from Tibet. Perhaps
-the most marvellous achievement among well-attested cases of this sort
-is that of certain _yogis_ of Hindustan; by long training and practice
-they seem to acquire the power of arresting almost completely all their
-vital functions. An intense effort of abstraction from the impressions
-of the outer world, a prolonged fixation of the eyes upon the nose or in
-some other strained position and a power of greatly slowing the
-respiration, these seem to be important features of their procedure for
-the attainment of their abnormal states.
-
-In spite of the wide distribution in time and space, and the not very
-infrequent occurrence, of these instances of states identical with or
-allied to hypnosis, some three centuries of enthusiastic investigation
-and of bitter controversy were required to establish the occurrence of
-the hypnotic state among the facts accepted by the world of European
-science. Scientific interest in them may be traced back at least as far
-as the end of the 16th century. Paracelsus had founded the "sympathetic
-system" of medicine, according to which the stars and other bodies,
-especially magnets, influence men by means of a subtle emanation or
-fluid that pervades all space. J. B. van Helmont, a distinguished man of
-science of the latter part of the 16th century, extended this doctrine
-by teaching that a similar magnetic fluid radiates from men, and that it
-can be guided by their wills to influence directly the minds and bodies
-of others. In the middle of the 17th century there appeared in England
-several persons who claimed to have the power of curing diseases by
-stroking with the hand. Notable amongst these was Valentine Greatrakes,
-of Affane, in the county of Waterford, Ireland, who was born in
-February 1628, and who attracted great attention in England by his
-supposed power of curing the king's evil, or scrofula. Many of the most
-distinguished scientific and theological men of the day, such as Robert
-Boyle and R. Cudworth, witnessed and attested the cures supposed to be
-effected by Greatrakes, and thousands of sufferers crowded to him from
-all parts of the kingdom. About the middle of the 18th century John
-Joseph Gassner, a Roman Catholic priest in Swabia, took up the notion
-that the majority of diseases arose from demoniacal possession, and
-could only be cured by exorcism. His method was undoubtedly similar to
-that afterwards followed by Mesmer and others, and he had an
-extraordinary influence over the nervous systems of his patients.
-Gassner, however, believed his power to be altogether supernatural.
-
-But it was not until the latter part of the 18th century that the
-doctrine of a magnetic fluid excited great popular interest and became
-the subject of fierce controversy in the scientific world. F. A. Mesmer
-(q.v.), a physician of Vienna, was largely instrumental in bringing the
-doctrine into prominence. He developed it by postulating a specialized
-variety of magnetic fluid which he called _animal magnetism_; and he
-claimed to be able to cure many diseases by means of this animal
-magnetism, teaching, also, that it may be imparted to and stored up in
-inert objects, which are thereby rendered potent to cure disease.
-
-It would seem that Mesmer himself was not acquainted with the artificial
-somnambulism which for nearly a century was called mesmeric or magnetic
-sleep, and which is now familiar as hypnosis of a well-marked degree. It
-was observed and described about the year 1780 by the marquis de
-Puysegur, a disciple of Mesmer, who showed that, while subjects were in
-this state, not only could some of their diseases be cured, but also
-their movements could be controlled by the "magnetizer," and that they
-usually remembered nothing of the events of the period of sleep when
-restored to normal consciousness. These are three of the most important
-features of hypnosis, and the modern study of hypnotism may therefore be
-said to have been initiated at this date by Puysegur. For, though it is
-probable that this state had often been induced by the earlier
-magnetists, they had not recognized that the peculiar behaviour of their
-patients resulted from their being plunged into this artificial sleep,
-but had attributed all the symptoms they observed to the direct physical
-action of external agents upon the patients.
-
-The success of Mesmer and his disciples, especially great in the
-fashionable world, led to the appointment in Paris of a royal commission
-for the investigation of their claims. The commission, which included
-men of great eminence, notably A. L. Lavoisier and Benjamin Franklin,
-reported in the year 1784 that it could not accept the evidence for the
-existence of the magnetic fluid; but it did not express an opinion as to
-the reality of the cures said to be effected by its means, nor as to the
-nature of the magnetic sleep. This report and the social upheavals of
-the following years seem to have abolished the public interest in
-"animal magnetism" for the space of one generation; after which
-Alexandre Bertrand, a Parisian physician, revived it by his acute
-investigations and interpretations of the phenomena. Bertrand was the
-first to give an explanation of the facts of the kind that is now
-generally accepted. He exhibited the affinity of the "magnetic sleep" to
-ordinary somnambulism, and he taught that the peculiar effects are to be
-regarded as due to the suggestions of the operator working themselves
-out in the mind and body of the "magnetized" subject, i.e. he regarded
-the influence of the magnetizer as exerted in the first instance on the
-mind of the subject and only indirectly through the mind upon the body.
-Shortly after this revival of public interest, namely in the year 1831,
-a committee of the Academy of Medicine of Paris reported favourably upon
-"magnetism" as a therapeutic agency, and before many years had elapsed
-it was extensively practised by the physicians of all European
-countries, with few exceptions, of which England was the most notable.
-Most of the practitioners of this period adhered to the doctrine of the
-magnetic fluid emanating from the operator to his patient, and the
-acceptance of this doctrine was commonly combined with belief in
-phrenology, astrology and the influence of metals and magnets,
-externally applied, in curing disease and in producing a variety of
-strange sensations and other affections of the mind. These beliefs,
-claiming to rest upon carefully observed facts, were given a new
-elaboration and a more imposing claim to be scientifically established
-by the doctrine of _odylic force_ propounded by Baron Karl von
-Reichenbach. In this mass of ill-based assertion and belief the valuable
-truths of "animal magnetism" and the psychological explanations of them
-given by Bertrand were swamped and well-nigh lost sight of. For it was
-this seemingly inseparable association between the facts of hypnotism
-and these bizarre practices and baseless beliefs that blinded the larger
-and more sober part of the scientific world, and led them persistently
-to assert that all this group of alleged phenomena was a mass of
-quackery, fraud and superstition. And the fact that magnetism was
-practised for pecuniary gain, often in a shameless manner, by exponents
-who claimed to cure by its means every conceivable ill, rendered this
-attitude on the part of the medical profession inevitable and perhaps
-excusable, though not justifiable. It was owing to this baleful
-association that John Elliotson, one of the leading London physicians of
-that time, who became an ardent advocate of "magnetism" and who founded
-and edited the _Zoist_ in the interests of the subject, was driven out
-of the profession. This association may perhaps be held, also, to excuse
-the hostile attitude of the medical profession towards James Esdaile, a
-surgeon, who, practising in a government hospital in Calcutta among the
-natives of India, performed many major operations, such as the
-amputation of limbs, painlessly and with the most excellent results by
-aid of the "magnetic" sleep. For both Elliotson and Esdaile, though
-honourable practitioners, accepted the doctrine of the "magnetic" fluid
-and many of the erroneous beliefs that commonly were bound up with it.
-
-In 1841 James Braid, a surgeon of Manchester, rediscovered independently
-Bertrand's physiological and psychological explanations of the facts,
-carried them further, and placed "hypnotism," as he named the study, on
-a sound basis. Braid showed that subjects in "magnetic" sleep, far from
-being in a profoundly insensitive condition, are often abnormally
-susceptible to impressions on the senses, and showed that many of the
-peculiarities of their behaviour were due to suggestions, made verbally
-or otherwise, but unintentionally, by the operator or by onlookers.
-
-It seems, on looking back on the history of hypnotism, that at this time
-it was in a fair way to secure general recognition as a most interesting
-subject of psychological study and a valuable addition to the resources
-of the physician. But it was destined once more to be denied its rights
-by official science and to fall back into disrepute. This was due to the
-coincidence about the year 1848 of two events of some importance,
-namely--the discovery of the anaesthetic properties of chloroform and
-the sudden rise of modern spiritualism. The former afforded a very
-convenient substitute for the most obvious practical application of
-hypnotism, the production of anaesthesia during surgical operations; the
-latter involved it once more in a mass of fraud and superstition, and,
-for the popular mind, drove it back to the region of the marvellous, the
-supernatural and the dangerous, made it, in fact, once more a branch of
-the black art.
-
-From this time onward there took place a gradual differentiation of the
-"animal magnetism" of the 18th century into two diverging branches,
-hypnotism and spiritualism, two branches which, however, are not yet
-entirely separated and, perhaps, never will be. At the same time the
-original system of "animal magnetism" has lived on in an enfeebled
-condition and is now very nearly, though not quite, extinct.
-
-In the development of hypnotism since the time of Braid we may
-distinguish three lines, the physiological, the psychological and the
-pathological. The last may be dismissed in a few words. Its principal
-representative was J. M. Charcot, who taught at the Salpetriere in Paris
-that hypnosis is essentially a symptom of a morbid condition of hysteria
-or hystero-epilepsy. This doctrine, which, owing to the great repute
-enjoyed by Charcot, has done much to retard the application of
-hypnotism, is now completely discredited. The workers of the
-physiological party attached special importance to the fixation of the
-eyes, or to other forms of long continued and monotonous, or violent,
-sensory stimulation in the induction of hypnosis. They believed that by
-acting on the senses in these ways they induced a peculiar condition of
-the nervous system, which consisted in the temporary abolition of the
-cerebral functions and the consequent reduction of the subject to
-machine-like unconscious automatism. The leading exponent of this view
-was R. Heidenhain, professor of physiology at Breslau, whose
-experimental investigations played a large part in convincing the
-scientific world of the genuineness of the leading symptoms of hypnosis.
-The purely psychological doctrine of hypnosis puts aside all physical
-and physiological influences and effects as of but little or no
-importance, and seeks a psychological explanation of the induction of
-hypnosis and of all the phenomena. This dates from 1884, when H.
-Bernheim, professor of medicine at Nancy, published his work _De la
-Suggestion_ (republished in 1887 with a second part on the therapeutics
-of hypnotism). Bernheim was led to the study of hypnotism by A. A.
-Liebeault, who for twenty years had used it very largely and
-successfully in his general practice among the poor of Nancy. Liebeault
-rediscovered independently, and Bernheim made known to the world the
-truths, twice previously discovered and twice lost sight of, that
-expectation is a most important factor in the induction of hypnosis,
-that increased suggestibility is its essential symptom, and that in
-general the operator works upon his patient by mental influences.
-Although they went too far in the direction of ignoring the peculiarity
-of the state of the brain in hypnosis and the predisposing effect of
-monotonous sensory stimulation, and in seeking to identify hypnosis with
-normal sleep, the views of the Nancy investigators have prevailed, and
-are now in the main generally accepted. Their methods of verbal
-suggestion have been adopted by leading physicians in almost all
-civilized countries and have been proved to be efficacious in the relief
-of many disorders; and as a method of psychological investigation
-hypnotism has proved, especially in the hands of the late Ed. Gurney, of
-Dr Pierre Janet and of other investigators, capable of throwing much
-light on the constitution of the mind, has opened up a number of
-problems of the deepest interest, and has done more than any other of
-the many branches of modern psychology to show the limitations and
-comparative barrenness of the old psychology that relied on
-introspection alone and figured as a department of general philosophy.
-In England, "always the last to enter into the general movement of the
-European mind," the prejudice, incredulity and ignorant
-misrepresentation with which hypnotism has everywhere been received have
-resisted its progress more stubbornly than elsewhere; but even in
-England its reality and its value as a therapeutic agent have at last
-been officially recognized. In 1892, just fifty years after Braid
-clearly demonstrated the facts and published explanations of them almost
-identical with those now accepted, a committee of the British Medical
-Association reported favourably upon hypnotism after a searching
-investigation; it is now regularly employed by a number of physicians of
-high standing, and the formation in 1907 of "The Medical Society for the
-Study of Suggestive Therapeutics" shows that the footing it has gained
-is likely to be made good.
-
-_Induction of Hypnosis._--It has now been abundantly proved that
-hypnosis can be induced in the great majority of normal persons,
-provided that they willingly submit themselves to the process. Several
-of the most experienced operators have succeeded in hypnotizing more
-than 90% of the cases they have attempted, and most of them are agreed
-that failure to induce hypnosis in any case is due either to lack of
-skill and tact on the part of the operator, or to some unfavourable
-mental condition of the subject. It has often been said that some races
-or peoples are by nature more readily hypnotizable than others; of the
-French people especially this has been maintained. But there is no
-sufficient ground for this statement. The differences that undoubtedly
-obtain between populations of different regions in respect to the ease
-or difficulty with which a large proportion of all persons can be
-hypnotized are sufficiently explained by the differences of the attitude
-of the public towards hypnotism; in France, e.g., and especially in
-Nancy, hypnotism has been made known to the public chiefly as a
-recognized auxiliary to the better known methods of medical treatment,
-whereas in England the medical profession has allowed the public to make
-acquaintance with hypnotism through the medium of disgusting
-stage-performances whose only object was to raise a laugh, and has, with
-few exceptions, joined in the general chorus of condemnation and
-mistrust. Hence in France patients submit themselves with confidence and
-goodwill to hypnotic treatment, whereas in England it is still necessary
-in most cases to remove an ill-based prejudice before the treatment can
-be undertaken with hope of success. For the confidence and goodwill of
-the patient are almost essential to success, and even after hypnosis has
-been induced on several occasions a patient may be so influenced by
-injudicious friends that he cannot again be hypnotized or, if
-hypnotized, is much less amenable to the power of suggestion. Various
-methods of hypnotization are current, but most practitioners combine the
-methods of Braid and of Bernheim. After asking the patient to resign
-himself passively into their hands, and after seating him in a
-comfortable arm-chair, they direct him to fix his eyes upon some small
-object held generally in such a position that some slight muscular
-strain is involved in maintaining the fixation; they then suggest to him
-verbally the idea or expectation of sleep and the sensations that
-normally accompany the oncoming of sleep, the heaviness of the eyes, the
-slackness of the limbs and so forth; and when the eyes show signs of
-fatigue, they either close them by gentle pressure or tell the subject
-to close them. Many also pass their hands slowly and regularly over the
-face, with or without contact. The old magnetizers attached great
-importance to such "passes," believing that by them the "magnetic fluid"
-was imparted to the patient; but it seems clear that, in so far as they
-contribute to induce hypnosis, it is in their character merely of
-gentle, monotonous, sensory stimulations. A well-disposed subject soon
-falls into a drowsy state and tends to pass into natural sleep; but by
-speech, by passes, or by manipulating his limbs the operator keeps in
-touch with him, keeps his waning attention open to the impressions he
-himself makes. Most subjects then find it difficult or impossible to
-open their eyes or to make any other movement which is forbidden or said
-to be impossible by the operator, although they may be fully conscious
-of all that goes on about them and may have the conviction that if they
-did but make an effort they could break the spell. This is a light stage
-of hypnosis beyond which some subjects can hardly be induced to pass and
-beyond which few pass at the first attempt. But on successive occasions,
-or even on the first occasion, a favourable subject passes into deeper
-stages of hypnosis. Many attempts have been made to distinguish clearly
-marked and constantly occurring stages. But it seems now clear that the
-complex of symptoms displayed varies in all cases with the
-idiosyncrasies of the subject and with the methods adopted by the
-operator. In many subjects a waxy rigidity of the limbs appears
-spontaneously or can be induced by suggestion; the limbs then retain for
-long periods without fatigue any position given them by the operator.
-The most susceptible subjects pass into the stage known as artificial
-somnambulism. In this condition they continue to respond to all
-suggestions made by the operator, but seem as insensitive to all other
-impressions as a person in profound sleep or in coma; and on awaking
-from this condition they are usually oblivious of all that they have
-heard, said or done during the somnambulistic period. When in this last
-condition patients are usually more profoundly influenced by
-suggestions, especially post-hypnotic suggestions, than when in the
-lighter stages; but the lighter stages suffice for the production of
-many therapeutic effects. When a patient is completely hypnotized, his
-movements, his senses, his ideas and, to some extent, even the organic
-processes over which he has no voluntary control become more or less
-completely subject to the suggestions of the operator; and usually he is
-responsive to the operator alone (_rapport_) unless he is instructed by
-the latter to respond also to the suggestions of other persons. If left
-to himself the hypnotized subject will usually awake to his normal state
-after a period which is longer in proportion to the depth of hypnosis;
-and the deeper stages seem to pass over into normal sleep. The subject
-can in almost every case be brought quickly back to the normal state by
-the verbal command of the operator.
-
-_The Principal Effects produced by Suggestion during Hypnosis._--The
-subject may not only be rendered incapable of contracting any of the
-muscles of the voluntary system, but may also be made to use them with
-extraordinarily great or sustained force (though by no means in all
-cases). He can with difficulty refrain from performing any action
-commanded by the operator, and usually carries out any simple command
-without hesitation. Any one of the sense-organs, or any sensory region
-such as the skin or deep tissues of one limb may be rendered anaesthetic
-by verbal suggestion, aided perhaps by some gentle manipulation of the
-part. On this fact depends the surgical application of hypnotism.
-Sceptical observers are always inclined to doubt the genuineness of the
-anaesthesia produced by a mere word of command, but the number of
-surgical operations performed under hypnotic anaesthesia suffices to put
-its reality beyond all question. A convincing experiment may, however,
-be made on almost any good subject. Anaesthesia of one eye may be
-suggested and its reality tested in the following way. Anaesthesia of
-the left eye may be suggested, and the subject be instructed to fix his
-gaze on a distant point and to give some signal as soon as he sees the
-operator's finger in the peripheral field of view. The operator then
-brings his finger slowly from behind and to the right forwards towards
-the subject's line of sight. The subject signals as soon as it crosses
-the normal temporal boundary of the field of view of the right eye. The
-operator then brings his finger forward from a point behind and to the
-left of the subject's head. The subject allows it to cross the monocular
-field of the left eye and signals only when the finger enters the field
-of vision of the right eye across its nasal boundary. Since few persons,
-other than physiologists or medical men, are aware of the relations of
-the boundaries of the monocular and binocular fields of vision, the
-success of this experiment affords proof that the finger remains
-invisible to the subject during its passage across the monocular field
-of the left eye. The abolition of pain, especially of neuralgias, the
-pain of rheumatic and other inflammations, which is one of the most
-valuable applications of hypnotism, is an effect closely allied to the
-production of such anaesthesia.
-
-It has often been stated that in hypnosis the senses may be rendered
-extraordinarily acute or hyperaesthetic, so that impressions too faint
-to affect the senses of the normal person may be perceived by the
-hypnotized subject; but in view of the fact that most observers are
-ignorant of the normal limits of sensitivity and discrimination, all
-such statements must be received with caution, until we have more
-convincing evidence than has yet been brought forward.
-
-_Positive and Negative Hallucinations_ are among the most striking
-effects of hypnotic suggestion. A good subject may be made to experience
-an hallucinatory perception of almost any object, the more easily the
-less unusual and out of harmony with the surroundings is the suggested
-object. He may, e.g., be given a blank card and asked if he thinks it a
-good photograph of himself. He may then assent and describe the
-photograph in some detail, and, what is more astonishing, he may pick
-out the card as the one bearing the photograph, after it has been mixed
-with other similar blank cards. This seems to be due to the part played
-by _points de repere_, insignificant details of surface or texture,
-which serve as an objective basis around which the hallucinatory image
-is constructed by the pictorial imagination of the subject. A negative
-hallucination may be induced by telling the subject that a certain
-object or person is no longer present, when he ignores in every way that
-object or person. This is more puzzling than the positive hallucination
-and will be referred to again in discussing the theory of hypnosis. Both
-kinds of hallucination tend to be systematically and logically
-developed; if, e.g., the subject is told that a certain person is no
-longer visible, he may become insensitive to impressions made on any
-sense by that person.
-
-_Delusions_, or false beliefs as to their present situation or past
-experiences may be induced in many subjects. On being assured that he is
-some other person, or that he is in some strange situation, the subject
-may accept the suggestion and adapt his behaviour with great histrionic
-skill to the induced delusion. It is probable that many, perhaps all,
-subjects are vaguely aware, as we sometimes are in dreams, that the
-delusions and hallucinations they experience are of an unreal nature. In
-the lighter stages of hypnosis a subject usually remembers the events of
-his waking life, but in the deeper stages he is apt, while remembering
-the events of previous hypnotic periods, to be incapable of recalling
-his normal life; but in this respect, as also in respect to the extent
-to which on awaking he remembers the events of the hypnotic period, the
-suggestions of the operator usually play a determining part.
-
-Among the organic changes that have been produced by hypnotic suggestion
-are slowing or acceleration of the cardiac and respiratory rhythms; rise
-and fall of body-temperature through two or three degrees; local
-erythema and even inflammation of the skin with vesication or exudation
-of small drops of blood; evacuation of the bowel and vomiting;
-modifications of the secretory activity of glands, especially of the
-sweat-glands.
-
-_Post-hypnotic Effects._--Most subjects in whom any appreciable degree
-of hypnosis can be induced show some susceptibility to post-hypnotic
-suggestion, i.e. they may continue to be influenced, when restored to
-the fully waking state, by suggestions made during hypnosis, more
-especially if the operator suggests that this shall be the case; as a
-rule, the deeper the stage of hypnosis reached, the more effective are
-post-hypnotic suggestions. The therapeutic applications of hypnotism
-depend in the main upon this post-hypnotic continuance of the working of
-suggestions. If a subject is told that on awaking, or on a certain
-signal, or after the lapse of a given interval of time from the moment
-of awaking, he will perform a certain action, he usually feels some
-inclination to carry out the suggestion at the appropriate moment. If he
-remembers that the action has been suggested to him he may refuse to
-perform it, and if it is one repugnant to his moral nature, or merely
-one that would make him appear ridiculous, he may persist in his
-refusal. But if the action is of a simple and ordinary nature he will
-usually perform it, remarking that he cannot be comfortable till it is
-done. If the subject was deeply hypnotized and remembers nothing of the
-hypnotic period, he will carry out the post-hypnotic suggestion in
-almost every case, no matter how complicated or absurd it may be, so
-long as it is not one from which his normal self would be extremely
-averse; and he will respond appropriately to the suggested signals,
-although he is not conscious of their having been named; he will often
-perform the action in a very natural way, and will, if questioned, give
-some more or less adequate reason for it. Such actions, determined by
-post-hypnotic suggestions of which no conscious memory remains, may be
-carried out even after the lapse of many weeks or even months.
-Inhibitions of movement, anaesthesia, positive and negative
-hallucinations, and delusions may also be made to persist for brief
-periods after the termination of hypnosis; and organic effects, such as
-the action of the bowels, the oncoming of sleep and the cessation of
-pain, may be determined by post-hypnotic suggestion. In short, it may be
-said that in a good subject all the kinds of suggestion which will take
-effect during hypnosis will also be effective if given as post-hypnotic
-suggestions.
-
-_Theory of the Hypnotic State._--Very many so called theories of
-hypnosis have been propounded, but few of them demand serious
-consideration. One author ascribes all the symptoms to cerebral anaemia,
-another to cerebral congestion, a third to temporary suppression of the
-functions of the cerebrum, a fourth to abnormal cerebral excitability, a
-fifth to the independent functioning of one hemisphere. Another seeks to
-explain all the facts by saying that in hypnosis our normal
-consciousness disappears and is replaced by a dream-consciousness; and
-yet another by the assumption that every human organism comprises two
-mental selves or personalities, a normal one and one which only comes
-into activity during sleep and hypnosis. Most of these "theories" would,
-even if true, carry us but a little way towards a complete understanding
-of the facts. There is, however, one theory or principle of explanation
-which is now gradually taking shape under the hands of a number of the
-more penetrating workers in this field, and which does seem to render
-intelligible many of the principle facts. This is the theory of _mental
-dissociation_.
-
-It is clear that a theory of hypnosis must attempt to give some account
-of the peculiar condition of the brain which is undoubtedly present as
-an essential feature of the state. It is therefore not enough to say
-with Bernheim that hypnosis is a state of abnormally increased
-suggestibility produced by suggestion; nor is it enough, though it is
-partially true, to say that it is a state of mono-ideism or one of
-abnormally great concentration of attention. Any theory must be stated
-in terms of physiological psychology, it must take account of both the
-psychical and the nervous peculiarities of the hypnotic state; it must
-exhibit the physiological condition as in some degree similar to that
-obtaining in normal sleep; but principally it must account for that
-abnormally great receptivity for ideas, and that abnormally intense and
-effective operation of ideas so received, which constitute abnormally
-great suggestibility.
-
-The theory of mental dissociation may be stated in purely mental terms,
-or primarily in terms of nervous structure and function, and the latter
-mode of statement is probably the more profitable at the present time.
-The increased effectiveness of ideas might be due to one of two
-conditions: (1) it might be that certain tracts of the brain or the
-whole brain were in a condition of abnormally great excitability; or (2)
-an idea might operate more effectively in the mind and on the body, not
-because it, or the underlying brain-process was more intense than
-normally, but because it worked out its effects free from the
-interference of contrary or irrelevant ideas that might weaken its
-force. It is along this second line that the theory of mental
-dissociation attempts to explain the increased suggestibility of
-hypnosis. To understand the theory we must bear in mind the nature of
-mental process in general and of its nervous concomitants. Mental
-process consists in the interplay, not merely of ideas, but rather of
-complex dispositions which are the more or less enduring conditions of
-the rise of ideas to consciousness. Each such disposition seems capable
-of remaining inactive or quiescent for long periods, and of being
-excited in various degrees, either by impressions made upon the
-sense-organs or by the spread of excitement from other dispositions.
-When its excitement rises above a certain pitch of intensity, the
-corresponding idea rises to the focus of consciousness. These
-dispositions are essential factors of all mental process, the essential
-conditions of all mental retention. They may be called simply mental
-dispositions, their nature being left undefined; but for our present
-purpose it is advantageous to regard them as neural dispositions,
-complex functional groups of nervous elements or neurones. The neurones
-of each such group must be conceived as being so intimately connected
-with one another that the excitement of any part of the group at once
-spreads through the whole group or disposition, so that it always
-functions as a unit. The whole cerebrum must be conceived as consisting
-of a great number of such dispositions, inextricably interwoven, but
-interconnected in orderly fashion with very various degrees of intimacy;
-groups of dispositions are very intimately connected to form neural
-systems, so that the excitement of any one member of such a system tends
-to spread in succession to all the other members. On the other hand, it
-is a peculiarity of the reciprocal relations of all such dispositions
-and systems that the excitement of any one to such a degree that the
-corresponding idea rises to consciousness prevents or inhibits the
-excitement of others, i.e. all of them are in relations of reciprocal
-inhibition with one another (see MUSCLE AND NERVE). The excitement of
-dispositions associated together to form a system tends towards some end
-which, either immediately or remotely, is an action, a bodily movement,
-in many cases a movement of the organs of speech only. Now we know from
-many exact experiments that the neural dispositions act and react upon
-one another to some extent, even when they are excited only in so feeble
-a degree that the corresponding ideas do not rise to consciousness. In
-the normal state of the brain, then, when any idea is present to
-consciousness, the corresponding neural disposition is in a state of
-dominant excitement, but the intensity of that excitement is moderated,
-depressed or partially inhibited by the sub-excitement of many rival or
-competing dispositions of other systems with which it is connected.
-Suppose now that all the nervous connexions between the multitudinous
-dispositions of the cerebrum are by some means rendered less effective,
-that the association-paths are partially blocked or functionally
-depressed; the result will be that, while the most intimate connexions,
-those between dispositions of any one system remain functional or
-permeable, the weaker less intimate connexions, those between
-dispositions belonging to different systems will be practically
-abolished for the time being; each system of dispositions will then
-function more or less as an isolated system, and its activity will no
-longer be subject to the depressing or inhibiting influence of other
-systems; therefore each system, on being excited in any way, will tend
-to its end with more than normal force, being freed from all
-interferences; that is to say, each idea or system of ideas will tend to
-work itself out and to realize itself in action immediately, without
-suffering the opposition of antagonistic ideas which, in the normal
-state of the brain, might altogether prevent its realization in action.
-
-The theory of mental dissociation assumes that the abnormal state of the
-brain that obtains during hypnosis is of this kind, a temporary
-functional depression of all, or of many of the associations or nervous
-links between the neural dispositions; that is, it regards hypnosis as a
-state of _relative dissociation_. The lighter the stage of hypnosis the
-slighter is the degree of dissociation, the deeper the stage the more
-nearly complete is the dissociation.
-
-It is not essential that the theory should explain in what change this
-stage of dissociation consists, but a view compatible with all that we
-know of the functions of the central nervous system may be suggested.
-The connexions between neural dispositions involve synapses or
-cell-junctions, and these seem to be the places of variable resistance
-which demarcate the dispositions and systems; and there is good reason
-to think that their resistances vary with the state of the neurones
-which they connect, being lowered when these are excited and raised when
-their excitement ebbs. Now, in the waking state, the varied stimuli,
-which constantly rain upon all the sense-organs, maintain the whole
-cerebrum in a state of sub-excitement, keep all the cerebral neurones
-partially charged with free nervous energy. When the subject lies down
-to sleep or submits himself to the hypnotizer he arrests as far as
-possible the flow of his thoughts, and the sensory stimuli are
-diminished in number and intensity. Under these conditions the general
-cerebral activity tends to subside, the free energy with which the
-cerebral neurones are charged ebbs away, and the synaptic resistances
-rise proportionally; then the effect of sensory impressions tends to be
-confined to the lower nervous level, and the brain tends to come to
-rest. If this takes place the condition of normal sleep is realized. But
-in inducing hypnosis the operator, by means of his words and
-manipulations, keeps one system of ideas and the corresponding neural
-system in activity, namely, the ideas connected with himself; thus he
-keeps open one channel of entry to the brain and mind, and through this
-one open channel he can introduce whatever ideas he pleases; and the
-ideas so introduced then operate with abnormally great effect because
-they work in a free field, unchecked by rival ideas and tendencies.
-
-This theory of relative dissociation has two great merits: in the first
-place it goes far towards enabling us to understand in some degree most
-of the phenomena of hypnosis; secondly, we have good evidence that
-dissociation really occurs in deep hypnosis and in some allied states.
-Any one may readily work out for himself the application of the theory
-to the explanation of the power of the operator's suggestions to control
-movement, to induce anaesthesia, hallucinations and delusions, and to
-exert on the organic processes an influence greater than can be exerted
-by mental processes in the normal state of the brain. But the positive
-evidence of the occurrence of dissociation is a matter of great
-psychological interest and its nature must be briefly indicated. The
-phenomena of automatic speech and writing afford the best evidence of
-cerebral dissociation. Many persons can, while in an apparently normal
-or but very slightly abnormal condition, produce automatic writing, i.e.
-intelligibly written sentences, in some cases long connected passages,
-of whose import they have no knowledge, their self-conscious
-intelligence being continuously directed to some other task. The
-carrying out of post-hypnotic suggestions affords in many cases similar
-evidence. Thus a subject may be told that after waking he will perform
-some action when a given signal, such as a cough, is repeated for the
-fifth time. In the post-hypnotic state he remains unaware of his
-instructions, is not conscious of noting the signals, and yet carries
-out the suggestion at the fifth signal, thereby proving that the signals
-have been in some sense noted and counted. Many interesting varieties of
-this experiment have been made, some of much greater complexity; but all
-agreeing in indicating that the suggested action is prepared for and
-determined by cerebral processes that do not affect the consciousness of
-the subject, but seem to occur as a system of processes detached from
-the main stream of cerebral activity; that is to say, they imply the
-operation of relatively dissociated neural systems.
-
-Many authorities go further than this; they argue that, since actions of
-the kind described are determined by processes which involve operations,
-such as counting, that we are accustomed to regard as distinctly mental
-in character and that normally involve conscious activity, we must
-believe that in these cases also consciousness or psychical activity is
-involved, but that it remains as a separate system or stream of
-consciousness concurrent with the normal or personal consciousness.
-
-In recent years the study of various abnormal mental states, especially
-the investigations by French physicians of severe forms of hysteria,
-have brought to light many facts which seem to justify this assumption
-of a secondary stream of consciousness, a co- or sub-consciousness
-coexistent with the personal consciousness; although, from the nature of
-the case, an absolute proof of such co-consciousness can hardly be
-obtained. The co-consciousness seems to vary in degree of complexity and
-coherence from a mere succession of fragmentary sensations to an
-organized stream of mental activity, which may rival in all respects the
-primary consciousness; and in cases of the latter type it is usual to
-speak of the presence of a secondary personality. The co-consciousness
-seems in the simpler cases, e.g. in cases of hysterical or hypnotic
-anaesthesia, to consist of elements split off from the normal primary
-consciousness, which remains correspondingly poorer; and the assumption
-is usually made that such a stream of co-consciousness is the psychical
-correlate of groups and systems of neurones dissociated from the main
-mass of cerebral neurones. If, in spite of serious objections, we
-entertain this conception, we find that it helps us to give some account
-of various hypnotic phenomena that otherwise remain quite inexplicable;
-some such conception seems to be required more particularly by the facts
-of negative hallucination and the execution of post-hypnotic suggestions
-involving such operations as counting and exact discrimination without
-primary consciousness.
-
-_Supernormal Hypnotic Phenomena._--The facts hitherto considered,
-strange and perplexing as many of them are, do not seem to demand for
-their explanation any principles of action fundamentally different from
-those operative in the normal human mind. But much of the interest that
-has centred in hypnotism in recent years has been due to the fact that
-some of its manifestations seem to go beyond all such principles of
-explanation, and to suggest the reality of modes of influence and action
-that science has not hitherto recognized. Of these by far the best
-attested are the post-hypnotic unconscious reckoning of time and
-telepathy or "thought-transference" (for the latter see TELEPATHY). The
-post-hypnotic reckoning and noting of the lapse of time seems in some
-instances to have been carried out, in the absence of all extraneous
-aids and with complete unconsciousness on the part of the normal
-personality, with such extreme precision that the achievement cannot be
-accounted for by any intensification of any faculty that we at present
-recognize or understand. Thus, Dr Milne Bramwell has reported the case
-of a patient who, when commanded in hypnosis to perform some simple
-action after the lapse of many thousands of minutes, would carry out the
-suggestion punctually to the minute, without any means of knowing the
-exact time of day at which the suggestion was given or the time of day
-at the moment its performance fell due; more recently a similar case,
-even more striking in some respects, has been carefully observed and
-described by Dr T. W. Mitchell. Other reported phenomena, such as
-telaesthesia or clairvoyance, and telekinesia, are hardly sufficiently
-well attested to demand serious consideration in this place.
-
-_Medical Applications of Hypnotism._--The study and practice of
-hypnotism is not yet, and probably never will be, regarded as a normal
-part of the work of the general practitioner. Its successful application
-demands so much time, tact, and special experience, that it will
-probably remain, as it is now, and as it is perhaps desirable that it
-should remain, a specialized branch of medical practice. In England it
-is only in recent years that it has been possible for a medical man to
-apply it in his practice without incurring professional odium and some
-risk of loss of reputation. That, in certain classes of cases, it may
-effect a cure or bring relief when all other modes of treatment are of
-no avail is now rapidly becoming recognized; but it is less generally
-recognized that it may be used with great advantage as a supplement to
-other modes of treatment in relieving symptoms that are accentuated by
-nervous irritability or mental disturbance. A third wide field of
-usefulness lies before it in the cure of undesirable habits of many
-kinds. Under the first heading may be put insomnia, neuralgia,
-neurasthenia, hysteria in almost all its many forms; under the second,
-inflammations such as that of chronic rheumatism, contractures and
-paralyses resulting from gross lesion of the brain, epilepsy, dyspepsia,
-menstrual irregularities, sea-sickness; under the third, inebriety, the
-morphia and other drug habits, nail-biting, _enuresis nocturna_,
-masturbation, constipation, facial and other twitchings. In pronounced
-mental diseases hypnotism seems to be almost useless; for in general
-terms it may be said that it can be applied most effectively where the
-brain, the instrument through which it works, is sound and vigorous. The
-widespread prejudice against the use of hypnotism is no doubt largely
-due to the marvellous and (to most minds) mysterious character of the
-effects producible by its means; and this prejudice may be expected to
-diminish as our insight into the mode of its operation deepens. The more
-purely bodily results achieved by hypnotic suggestion become in some
-degree intelligible if we regard it as a powerful means of diverting
-nervous energy from one channel or organ to others, so as to give
-physiological rest to an overworked organ or tissue, or so as to lead to
-the atrophy of one nervous habit and the replacement of it by a more
-desirable habit. And in the cure of those disorders which involve a
-large mental element the essential part played by it is to drive out
-some habitually recurrent idea and to replace it by some idea,
-expectation or conviction of healthy tendency.
-
-It seems clear that the various systems of "mind-curing" in the hands of
-persons lacking all medical training, which are now so frequently the
-cause of distressing and needless disasters, owe their rapid spread to
-the fact that the medical profession has hitherto neglected to attach
-sufficient importance to the mental factor in the causation and cure of
-disease; and it seems clear, too, that a more general and more
-intelligent appreciation of the possibilities of hypnotic treatment
-would constitute the best means at the disposal of the profession for
-combating this growing evil.
-
-_The Dangers of Hypnotism._--Much has been written on this head of late
-years, and some of the enthusiastic advocates of hypnotic treatment have
-done harm to their cause by ignoring or denying in a too thoroughgoing
-manner the possibility of undesirable results of the spread of the
-knowledge and practice of hypnotism. Like all powerful agencies,
-chloroform or morphia, dynamite or strong electric currents, hypnotic
-suggestion can only be safely used by those who have special knowledge
-and experience, and, like them, it is liable to abuse. There is little
-doubt that, if a subject is repeatedly hypnotized and made to entertain
-all kinds of absurd delusions and to carry out very frequently
-post-hypnotic suggestions, he may be liable to some ill-defined harm;
-also, that an unprincipled hypnotizer might secure an undue influence
-over a naturally weak subject.
-
-But there is no ground for the belief that hypnotic treatment, applied
-with good intentions and reasonable care and judgment, does or can
-produce deleterious effects, such as weakening of the will or liability
-to fall spontaneously into hypnosis. All physicians of large experience
-in hypnotic practice are in agreement in respect to this point. But some
-difference of opinion exists as to the possibility of deliberately
-inducing a subject to commit improper or criminal actions during
-hypnosis or by post-hypnotic suggestion. There is, however, no doubt
-that subjects retain even in deep hypnosis a very considerable power of
-resistance to any suggestion that is repugnant to their moral nature;
-and it has been shown that, on some cases in which a subject in hypnosis
-is made to perform some ostensibly criminal action, such as firing an
-unloaded pistol at a bystander or putting poison into a cup for him to
-drink, he is aware, however obscurely, of the unreal nature of the
-situation. Nevertheless it must be admitted that a person lacking in
-moral sentiments might be induced to commit actions from which in the
-normal state he would abstain, if only from fear of punishment; and it
-is probable that a skilful and evil-intentioned operator could in some
-cases so deceive a well-disposed subject as to lead him into
-wrong-doing. The proper precaution against such dangers is legislative
-regulation of the practice of hypnotism such as is already enforced in
-some countries.

- BIBLIOGRAPHY.--The literature of hypnotism has increased in volume at
- a rapid rate during recent years. Of recent writings the following may

- hypnotism, the first being the most strictly medical, the last the
- most general in its treatment. See also _Hypnotism: or Suggestion in
- Psycho-Therapy_, by August Forel (translated from the 5th German ed.
- by G. H. W. Armit, London, 1906); a number of papers by Ed. Gurney,
- and by Ed. Gurney and F. W. H. Myers in _Proc. of the Soc. for
- Psychical Research_, especially "The Stages of Hypnotism," in vol.
- ii.; also some more recent papers in the same journal by other hands;
- chapter on Hypnotism in _Human Personality and its Survival of bodily
- Death_, by F. W. H. Myers (London, 1903); _The Psychology of
- Suggestion_, by Boris Sidis, Ph.D. (New York, 1898); "Zur Psychologie

-HYPOCAUST (Gr. [Greek: hypokauston: hypo], beneath, and [Greek: kauein],
-to burn), the term given to the chamber formed under the floors of the
-Roman baths, through which the hot air from the furnace passed,
-sometimes to a single flue, as in the case of the _tepidarium_, but in
-the _calidarium_ and sweating-room to a series of flues placed side by
-side forming the lining of the walls. The floor of the hot-air chamber
-consisted of tiles, 2 ft. square, laid on a bed of concrete; on this a
-series of dwarf piers 2 ft. high were built of 8-in. square tiles placed
-about 16 in. apart, which carried the floor of the hall or room; this
-floor was formed of a bed of concrete covered with layers of pounded
-bricks and marble cement, on which the marble pavement in slabs or
-tesserae was laid. In colder countries, as for instance in Germany and
-England, the living rooms were all heated in a similar way, and round
-Treves (Trier) both systems have been found in two or three Roman
-villas, with the one flue for the ordinary rooms and several wall flues
-for the hot baths. In England these hypocausts are found in every Roman
-settlement, and the chief interest in these is centred in the
-magnificent mosaic pavements with which the principal rooms were laid.
-Many of the pavements found in London and elsewhere have been preserved
-in the British or the Guildhall museums; and in some of the provincial
-towns, such as Leicester and Lincoln, they remain _in situ_ many feet
-below the present level of the town.

-HYPOCHONDRIASIS (synonyms--"the spleen," "the vapours"), a medical term
-(from [Greek: to hypochondrion, ta hypochondria], the soft part of the
-body immediately under the [Greek: chondros] or cartilage of the
-breast-bone) given by the ancients, and indeed by physicians down to the
-time of William Cullen, to diseases or derangements of one or more of
-the abdominal viscera. Cullen (_Clinical Lectures,_ 1777) classified it
-amongst nervous diseases, and Jean Pierre Falret (1794-1870) more fully
-described it as a morbid condition of the nervous system characterized
-by depression of feeling and false beliefs as to an impaired state of
-the health. The subjects of hypochondriasis are for the most part
-members of families in which hereditary predisposition to degradation of
-the nervous system is strong, or those who have suffered from morbid
-influences affecting this system during the earlier years of life. It
-may be dependent on depressing disease affecting the general system, but
-under such circumstances it is generally so complicated with the
-symptoms of hysteria as to render differentiation difficult (see
-HYSTERIA). Hypochondriasis is often handed down from one generation to
-another in its individual form, but it is also not unfrequently to be
-met with in an individual as the sole manifestation in him of a family
-tendency to insanity. In its most common form it is manifested by simple
-false belief as to the state of the health, the intellect being
-otherwise unaffected. We may instance the "vapourish" woman or the
-"splenetic" as terms society has applied to its milder manifestations.
-Such persons are constantly asserting a weak state of health although no
-palpable cause can be discovered. In its more definite phases pain or
-uneasy sensations are referred by the patient to some particular region,
-generally the abdomen, the heart or the head. That these are subjective
-is apparent from the fact that the general health is good: all the
-functions of the various systems are duly performed; the patient eats
-and sleeps well; and, when any circumstance temporarily overrides the
-false belief, he is happy and comfortable. No appeal to the reason is of
-any avail, and the hypochondriac idea so dominates his existence as to
-render him unable to perform the ordinary duties of life. In its most
-aggravated form hypochondriasis amounts to actual insanity, delusions
-arising as to the existence of living creatures in the intestines or
-brain, or to the effect that the body is materially changed; e.g. into
-glass, wood, &c. The symptoms of this condition may be remittent; they
-may even disappear for years, and only return on the advent of some
-exciting cause. Suicide is occasionally committed in order to escape
-from the constant misery. Recovery can only be looked for by placing the
-patient under such morally hygienic conditions as may help to turn his
-mind to other matters. (See also NEUROPATHOLOGY.)

-
-HYPOCRISY, pretence, or false assumption of a high character, especially
-in regard to religious belief or practice. The Greek [Greek:
-hypokrisis], from which the word is derived through the Old French,
-meant primarily the acting of a part on the stage, from [Greek:
-hypokrinesthai], to give an answer, to speak dialogue, play a part on
-the stage, hence to practice dissimulation.

-
-HYPOSTASIS, in theology, a term frequently occurring in the Trinitarian
-controversies of the 4th and 5th centuries. According to Irenaeus (i. 5,
-4) it was introduced into theology by Gnostic writers, and in earliest
-ecclesiastical usage appears, as among the Stoics, to have been
-synonymous with [Greek: ousia]. Thus Dionysius of Rome (cf. Routh, _Rel.
-Sacr._ iii. 373) condemns the attempt to sever the Godhead into three
-separate _hypostases_ and three deities, and the Nicene Creed in the
-anathemas speaks of [Greek: ex heteras hypostaseos e ousias].
-Alongside, however, of this persistent interchange there was a desire to
-distinguish between the terms, and to confine [Greek: hypostasis] to the
-Divine _persons_. This tendency arose in Alexandria, and its progress
-may be seen in comparing the early and later writings of Athanasius.
-That writer, in view of the Arian trouble, felt that it was better to
-speak of [Greek: ousia] as "the common undifferentiated substance of
-Deity," and [Greek: hypostasis] as "Deity existing in a personal mode,
-the substance of Deity with certain special properties" ([Greek: ousia
-meta tinon idiomaton]). At the council of Alexandria in 362 the phrase
-[Greek: treis hypostaseis] was permitted, and the work of this council
-was supplemented by Basil, Gregory of Nazianzus and Gregory of Nyssa in
-the formula [Greek: mia ousia, treis hypostaseis] or [Greek: mia ousia
-en trisin hypostasesin].
-
- The results arrived at by these Cappadocian fathers were stated in a
- later age by John of Damascus (_De orth. fid._ iii. 6), quoted in R.
- L. Ottley, _The Doctrine of the Incarnation_, ii. 257.

-HYPOSTYLE, in architecture, the term applied to a hall, the flat ceiling
-of which is supported by columns, as in the Hall of Columns at Karnak.
-In this case the columns flanking the central avenue are of greater
-height than those of the side aisles, and this admits of openings in the
-wall above the smaller columns, through which light is admitted over the
-aisle roof, through clerestory windows.

-HYPOSULPHITE OF SODA, the name originally given to the substance known
-in chemistry as sodium thiosulphate, Na2S2O3; the earlier name is still
-commonly used, especially by photographers, who employ this chemical as
-a fixer. In systematic chemistry, sodium hyposulphite is a salt of
-hyposulphurous acid, to which Schutzenberger gave the formula H2SO2, but
-which Bernthsen showed to be H2S2O4. (See SULPHUR.)

-
-HYPOTHEC (Lat. _hypotheca_, Gr. [Greek: hypotheke]), in Roman law, the
-most advanced form of the contract of pledge. A specific thing may be
-given absolutely to a creditor on the understanding that it is to be
-given back when the creditor's debt is paid; or the property in the
-thing may be assigned to the creditor while the debtor is allowed to
-remain in possession, the creditor as owner being able to take
-possession if his debt is not discharged. Here we have the kind of
-security known as pledge and mortgage respectively. In the _hypotheca_,
-the property does not pass to the creditor, nor does he get possession,
-but he acquires a preferential right to have his debt paid out of the
-hypothecated property; that is, he can sell it and pay himself out of
-the proceeds, or in default of a purchaser he can become the owner
-himself. The name and the principle have passed into the law of
-Scotland, which distinguishes between conventional hypothecs, as
-_bottomry_ and _respondentia_, and tacit hypothecs established by law.
-Of the latter the most important is the landlord's hypothec for rent
-(corresponding to distress in the law of England), which extends over
-the produce of the land and the cattle and sheep fed on it, and over
-stock and horses used in husbandry. The law of agricultural hypothec
-long caused much discontent in Scotland; its operation was restricted by
-the Hypothec Amendment (Scotland) Act 1867, and finally by the Hypothec
-Abolition (Scotland) Act 1880 it was enacted that the "landlord's right
-of hypothec for the rent of land, including the rent of any buildings
-thereon, exceeding two acres in extent, let for agriculture or pasture,
-shall cease and determine." By the same act and by the Agricultural
-Holdings (Scotland) Act 1883 other rights and remedies for rent, where
-the right of hypothec had ceased, were given to the landlord.

-HYPOTHESIS (from Gr. [Greek: hypotithenai], to put under; cf. Lat.
-_suppositio_, from _sub-ponere_), in ordinary language, an explanation,
-supposition or assumption, which is put forward in the absence of
-ascertained facts or causes. Both in ordinary life and in the
-acquisition of scientific knowledge hypothesis is all-important. A
-detective's work consists largely in forming and testing hypothesis. If
-an astronomer is confronted by some phenomenon which has no obvious
-explanation he may postulate some set of conditions which from his
-general knowledge of the subject would or might give rise to the
-phenomenon in question; he then tests his hypothesis until he discovers
-whether it does or does not conflict with the facts. An example of this
-process is that of the discovery of the planet Neptune: certain
-perturbations of the orbit of Uranus had been observed, and it was seen
-that these could be explained on the hypothesis of the existence of a
-then unknown planet, and this hypothesis was verified by actual
-observation. The progress of inductive knowledge is by the formation of
-successive hypotheses, and it frequently happens that the demolition of
-one or even many hypotheses is the direct road to a new and accurate
-hypothesis, i.e. to fresh knowledge. A hypothesis may, therefore, turn
-out to be entirely wrong, yet it may be of the greatest practical use.
-
-The recognition of the importance of hypotheses has led to various
-attempts at drawing up exact rules for their formation, but logicians
-are generally agreed that only very elementary principles can be laid
-down. Thus a hypothesis must contain nothing which is at variance with
-known facts or principles: it should not postulate conditions which
-cannot be verified empirically. J. S. Mill (_Logic_ III. xiv. 4) laid
-down the principle that a hypothesis is not "genuinely scientific" if it
-is "destined always to remain a hypothesis": it must "be of such a
-nature as to be either proved or disproved by comparison with observed
-facts": in the same spirit Bacon said that in searching for causes in
-nature "Deum semper excipimus." Mill's principle, though sound in the
-abstract, has, except in a few cases, little practical value in
-determining the admissibility of hypotheses, and in practice any rule
-which tends to discourage hypothesis is in general undesirable. The most
-satisfactory check on hypothesis is expert knowledge in the particular
-field of research by which rigorous tests may be applied. This test is
-roughly of two kinds, first by the ultimate principles or
-presuppositions on which a particular branch of knowledge rests, and
-second by the comparison of correlative facts. Useful light is shed on
-this distinction by Lotze, who contrasts (_Logic_, S 273) _postulates_
-("absolutely necessary assumptions without which the content of the
-observation with which we are dealing would contradict the laws of our
-thought") with _hypotheses_, which he defines as conjectures, which seek
-"to fill up the postulate thus abstractly stated by specifying the
-concrete causes, forces or processes, out of which the given phenomenon
-really arose in this particular case, while in other cases maybe the
-same postulate is to be satisfied by utterly different though equivalent
-combinations of forces or active elements." Thus a hypothesis may be
-ruled out by principles or postulates without any reference to the
-concrete facts which belong to that division of the subject to explain
-which the hypothesis is formulated. A true hypothesis, therefore, seeks
-not merely to connect or colligate two separate facts, but to do this in
-the light of and subject to certain fundamental principles. Various
-attempts have been made to classify hypotheses and to distinguish
-"hypothesis" from a "theory" or a mere "conjecture": none of these have
-any great practical importance, the differences being only in degree,
-not in kind.
-
-The adjective "hypothetical" is used, in the same sense, both loosely in
-contradistinction to "real" or "actual," and technically in the phrases
-"hypothetical judgment" and "hypothetical syllogism." (See LOGIC and
-SYLLOGISM.)
-
- See Naville, _La Logique de l'hypothese_ (1880), and textbooks of

-HYPOTRACHELIUM (Gr. [Greek: hypotrachelion], the lower part of the neck,
-[Greek: trachelos]), in classical architecture, the space between the
-annulet of the echinus and the upper bed of the shafts, including,
-according to C. R. Cockerell, the three grooves or sinkings found in
-some of the older examples, as in the temple of Neptune at Paestum and
-the temple of Aphaea at Aegina; there being only one groove in the
-Parthenon, the Theseum and later examples. In the temple of Ceres and
-the so-called Basilica at Paestum the hypotrachelium consists of a
-concave sinking carved with vertical lines suggestive of leaves, the
-tops of which project forward. A similar decoration is found in the
-capital of the columns flanking the tomb of Agamemnon at Mycenae, but
-here the hypotrachelium projects forward with a cavetto moulding, and is
-carved with triple leaves like the buds of a rose. In the Roman Doric
-Order the term was sometimes applied to that which is generally known as
-the "necking," the space between the fillet and the annulet.

-
-HYPSOMETER (Gr. [Greek: hypsos], height, [Greek: metron], a measure), an
-instrument for measuring heights which employs the principles that the
-boiling-point of a liquid is lowered by diminishing the pressure, and
-that the barometric pressure varies with the height of the point of
-observation. The instrument consists of a cylindrical vessel in which
-the liquid, usually water, is boiled, surmounted by a jacketed column,
-in the outer partitions of which the vapour circulates, while in the
-central one a thermometer is placed. To deduce the height of the station
-from the observed boiling-point, it is necessary to know the relation
-existing between the boiling-point and pressure, and also between the
-pressure and height of the atmosphere.

-HYRACOIDEA, a suborder of ungulate mammals represented at the present
-day only by the Syrian hyrax (_Procavia syriaca_), the "coney" of the
-Bible, and its numerous African relatives, all of which may be included
-in the single genus _Procavia_ (or _Hyrax_), and consequently in the
-family _Procaviidae_. These creatures have no proper English name, and
-are generally known as hyraxes, from the scientific term (_Hyrax_) by
-which they were for many years designated--a term which has
-unfortunately had to give place to the earlier _Procavia_. In size these
-animals may be compared roughly to rabbits and hares; and they have
-rodent-like habits, hunching up their backs after the fashion of some
-foreign members of the hare-family, more especially the Liu-Kiu rabbit.
-In the matter of nomenclature these animals have been singularly
-unfortunate. In the title "hyrax" they have, for instance, usurped the
-Greek name for the shrew-mouse; while in the Bible they have been given
-the old English name for the rabbit. Perhaps rock-rabbit would be the
-best name. At the Cape they are known to the Dutch as dass (badger),
-which has been anglicized into "dassie."
-
-[Illustration: FIG. 1.--The Cape Hyrax (_Procavia capensis_).]
-
- As regards the recent forms, the dentition in the fully adult animal
- consists only of incisors and cheek-teeth, the formula being _i._ (1/2),
- _c._ 0/0, _p._ 4/4 _m._ 3/3. There is, however, a minute upper canine
- developed at first, which is early shed; and in extinct forms this
- tooth was functional and molar-like. The upper incisors have
- persistent pulps, and are curved longitudinally, forming a semicircle
- as in rodents; they are, however, not flattened from before backwards
- as in that order, but prismatic, with an antero-external, an
- antero-internal and a posterior surface, the first two only being
- covered with enamel; their tips are consequently not chisel-shaped,
- but sharp-pointed. They are preceded by functional, rooted milk-teeth.
- The lower incisors have long tapering roots, but not of persistent
- growth; and are straight, directed somewhat forwards, with awl-shaped,
- tri-lobed crowns. Behind the incisors is a considerable gap, followed
- by the cheek-teeth, which are all contiguous, and formed almost
- exactly on the pattern of some of the perissodactyle ungulates. The
- milk-dentition includes three pairs of incisors and one of canines in
- each jaw. The hyoid arch is unlike that of any known mammal. The
- dorsal and lumbar vertebrae are very numerous, 28 to 30, of which 21
- or 22 bear ribs. The tail is extremely short. There are no clavicles.
- In the fore foot, the three middle toes are subequally developed, the
- fifth is present, but smaller, and the first is rudimentary, although,
- in one species at least, all its normal bones are present. The
- terminal phalanges of the four outer digits are small, somewhat
- conical and flattened in form. The carpus has a distinct os centrale.
- There is a slight ridge on the femur in the place of a third
- trochanter. The fibula is complete, thickest at its upper end, where
- it generally unites with the tibia. The articulation between the tibia
- and astragalus is more complex than in other mammals, the end of the
- malleolus entering into it. The hind-foot is very like that of a
- rhinoceros, having three well-developed toes. There is no trace of a
- first toe, and the fifth meta-tarsal is represented by a small nodule.
- The terminal phalange of the inner (or second) digit is deeply cleft,
- and has a peculiar long curved claw, the others having short broad
- nails. The stomach is formed upon much the same principle as that of
- the horse or rhinoceros, but is more elongated transversely and
- divided by a constriction into two cavities--a large left _cul de
- sac_, lined by a very dense white epithelium, and a right pyloric
- cavity, with a thick, soft, vascular lining. The intestinal canal is
- long, and has, in addition to the ordinary short, but capacious and
- sacculated caecum at the commencement of the colon, lower down, a pair
- of large, conical, pointed caeca. The liver is much subdivided, and
- there is no gall-bladder. The brain resembles that of typical
- ungulates far more than that of rodents. The testes are permanently
- abdominal. The ureters open into the fundus of the bladder as in some
- Rodents. The female has six teats, of which four are inguinal and two
- axillary, and the placenta is zonary and deciduous. There is a gland
- on the back.
-
- [Illustration: FIG. 2.--Skull and Dentition of Tree-Hyrax (_Procavia
- dorsalis_).]
-
- The more typical members of the genus are terrestrial in their habits,
- and their cheek-teeth have nearly the same pattern as in rhinoceroses;
- while the interval between the upper incisors is less than the width
- of the teeth; and the lower incisors are only slightly notched at the
- cutting edge. Vertebrae: C. 7, D. 22, L. 8, S. 6, C. 6. Of this form
- the earliest known species, _P. capensis_, is the type; but there are
- many other species, as _P. syriaca_, and _P. brucei_ from Syria and
- eastern Africa. They inhabit mountainous and rocky regions, and live
- on the ground. In a second section the molar teeth have the same
- pattern as in _Palaeotherium_ (except that the third lower molar has
- but two lobes); the interval between the upper incisors exceeds the
- width of the teeth; and the lower incisors have distinctly tri-lobed
- crowns. Vertebrae: C. 7, D. 21, L. 7, S. 5, C. 10. The members of this
- section frequent the trunks and large branches of trees, sleeping in
- holes. There are several species from Western and South Africa, as _P.
- arboreus_ and _P. dorsalis_. The members of both groups appear to have
- a power like that possessed by geckos of clinging to vertical surfaces
- of rocks and trees by the soles of their feet.
-
- _Extinct Hyracoids._--For many years extinct representatives of the
- Hyracoidea were unknown, partly owing to the fact that certain fossils
- were not recognized as really belonging to that group. The longest
- known of these was originally named _Leptodon graecus_, but, on
- account of the preoccupation of the generic title, the designation has
- been changed to _Pliohyrax graecus_. This animal, whose remains occur
- in the Lower Pliocene of both Attica and Samos, was about the size of
- a donkey, and possessed three pairs of upper incisor teeth, of which
- the innermost were large and trihedral, recalling those of the
- existing genus. On the other hand, the two outer pairs of incisors
- were in contact with one another and with the canines, so as to form
- on each side a series continuous with the cheek-teeth.
-
- The next representatives of the group occur in the Upper Eocene beds
- of the Fayum district of Egypt, where the genera _Saghatherium_ and
- _Megalohyrax_ occur. These are regarded as representing a distinct
- family, the _Saghatheriidae_, characterized by the possession of the
- full series of twenty-two teeth in the upper jaw, among which the
- first pair of incisors was modified to form trihedral rootless tusks,
- while the two remaining pairs were separated from one another and from
- the teeth in front by gaps. The canine was like a premolar, and in
- contact with the first tooth of that series; and the cheek-teeth were
- short-crowned, with the premolar simpler than the molars, and a third
- lobe to the last lower tooth of the latter series. The members of
- this genus were small or medium-sized ungulates with single-rooted
- incisors. On the other hand, the representatives of the contemporary
- genus _Megalohyrax_ were approximately as large as _Pliohyrax_, and in
- some instances had double roots to the second and third incisors.
-
- It is now possible to define the suborder Hyracoidea as including
- ungulates with a centrale in the carpus, plantigrade feet, in which
- the first and fifth toes are reduced in greater or less degree, and
- clavicles and a foramen in the lower end of the humerus are absent.
- The femur has a small third trochanter, the radius and ulna and tibia
- and fibula are respectively separate, at least in the young, and the
- fibula articulates with the astragalus. The earlier forms had the full
- series of 44 teeth, with the premolars simpler than the molars; but in
- the later types the canines and some of the incisors disappear, and at
- least the hinder premolars become molar-like. In all cases the first
- upper incisors are large and rootless.
-
- That the group originated in Africa there can be no reasonable doubt;
- and it is remarkable that so early as the Upper Eocene the types in
- existence differed comparatively little in structure from the modern
- forms. In fact the hyraxes were then almost as distinct from other
- mammals as they are at the present day.

-HYRCANIA. (1) An ancient district of Asia, south of the Caspian Sea, and
-bounded on the E. by the river Oxus, called _Virkana_, or "Wolf's Land,"
-in Old Persian. It was a wide and indefinite tract. Its chief city is
-called Tape by Strabo, Zadracarta by Arrian (probably the modern
-Astarabad). The latter is evidently the same as Carta, mentioned by
-Strabo as an important city. Little is known of the history of the
-country. Xenophon says it was subdued by the Assyrians; Curtius that
-6000 Hyrcanians were in the army of Darius III. (2) Two towns named
-Hyrcania are mentioned, one in Hyrcania, the other in Lydia. The latter
-is said to have derived its name from a colony of Hyrcanians,
-transported thither by the Persians.

-
-HYRCANUS ([Greek: Hykanos]), a Greek surname, of unknown origin, borne
-by several Jews of the Maccabaean period.
-
-JOHN HYRCANUS I., high priest of the Jews from 135 to 105 B.C., was the
-youngest son of Simon Maccabaeus. In 137 B.C. he, along with his brother
-Judas, commanded the force which repelled the invasion of Judaea led by
-Cendebeus, the general of Antiochus VII. _Sidetes_. On the assassination
-of his father and two elder brothers by Ptolemy, governor of Jericho,
-his brother-in-law, in February 135, he succeeded to the high priesthood
-and the supreme authority in Judaea. While still engaged in the struggle
-with Ptolemy, he was attacked by Antiochus with a large army (134), and
-compelled to shut himself up in Jerusalem; after a severe siege peace
-was at last secured only on condition of a Jewish disarmament, and the
-payment of an indemnity and an annual tribute, for which hostages were
-taken. In 129 he accompanied Antiochus as a vassal prince on his
-ill-fated Parthian expedition; returning, however, to Judaea before
-winter, he escaped the final disaster. By the judicious mission of an
-embassy to Rome he now obtained confirmation of the alliance which his
-father had previously made with the growing western power; at the same
-time he availed himself of the weakened state of the Syrian monarchy
-under Demetrius II. to overrun Samaria, and also to invade Idumaea,
-which he completely subdued, compelling its inhabitants to receive
-circumcision and accept the Jewish faith. After a long period of rest he
-directed his arms against the town of Samaria, which, in spite of the
-intervention of Antiochus, his sons Antigonus and Aristobulus ultimately
-took, and by his orders razed to the ground (c. 100 B.C.). He died in
-105, and was succeeded by Aristobulus, the eldest of his five sons. The
-external policy of Hyrcanus was marked by considerable energy and tact,
-and, aided as it was by favouring circumstances, was so successful as to
-leave the Jewish nation in a position of independence and of influence
-such as it had not known since the days of Solomon. During its later
-years his reign was much disturbed, however, by the contentions for
-ascendancy which arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, the two
-rival sects or parties which then for the first time (under those names
-at least) came into prominence. Josephus has related the curious
-circumstances under which he ultimately transferred his personal support
-from the former to the latter.
-
-JOHN HYRCANUS II., high priest from 78 to 40 B.C., was the eldest son of
-Alexander Jannaeus by his wife Alexandra, and was thus a grandson of the
-preceding. When his father died in 78, he was by his mother forthwith
-appointed high priest, and on her death in 69 he claimed the succession
-to the supreme civil authority also; but, after a brief and troubled
-reign of three months, he was compelled to abdicate both kingly and
-priestly dignities in favour of his more energetic and ambitious younger
-brother Aristobulus II. In 63 it suited the policy of Pompey that he
-should be restored to the high priesthood, with some semblance of
-supreme command, but of much of this semblance even he was soon again
-deprived by the arrangement of the pro-consul Gabinius, according to
-which Palestine was in 57 B.C. divided into five separate circles
-([Greek: synodoi, synedria]). For services rendered to Caesar after the
-battle of Pharsalia, he was again rewarded with the sovereignty ([Greek:
-prostasia tou ethnous], Jos. _Ant._ xx. 10) in 47 B.C., Antipater of
-Idumaea, however, being at the same time made procurator of Judaea. In
-41 B.C. he was practically superseded by Antony's appointment of Herod
-and Phasael to be tetrarchs of Judaea; and in the following year he was
-taken prisoner by the Parthians, deprived of his ears that he might be
-permanently disqualified for priestly office, and carried to Babylon. He
-was permitted in 33 B.C. to return to Jerusalem, where on a charge of
-treasonable correspondence with Malchus, king of Arabia, he was put to
-death in 30 B.C.

-HYSSOP (_Hyssopus officinalis_), a garden herb belonging to the natural
-order _Labiatae_, formerly cultivated for use in domestic medicine. It
-is a small perennial plant about 2 ft. high, with slender, quadrangular,
-woody stems; narrowly elliptical, pointed, entire, dotted leaves, about
-1 in. long and 1/3 in. wide, growing in pairs on the stem; and long
-terminal, erect, half-whorled, leafy spikes of small violet-blue
-flowers, which are in blossom from June to September. Varieties of the
-plant occur in gardens with red and white flowers, also one having
-variegated leaves. The leaves have a warm, aromatic, bitter taste, and
-are believed to owe their properties to a volatile oil which is present
-in the proportion of 1/4 to 1/2%. Hyssop is a native of the south of
-Europe, its range extending eastward to central Asia. A strong tea made
-of the leaves, and sweetened with honey, was formerly used in pulmonary
-and catarrhal affections, and externally as an application to bruises
-and indolent swellings.
-
-The hedge hyssop (_Gratiola officinalis_) belongs to the natural order
-_Scrophulariaceae_, and is a native of marshy lands in the south of
-Europe, whence it was introduced into Britain more than 300 years ago.
-Like _Hyssopus officinalis_, it has smooth opposite entire leaves, but
-the stems are cylindrical, the leaves twice the size, and the flowers
-solitary in the axils of the leaves and having a yellowish-red veined
-tube and bluish-white limb, while the capsules are oval and many-seeded.
-The herb has a bitter, nauseous taste, but is almost odourless. In small
-quantities it acts as a purgative, diuretic and emetic when taken
-internally. It was formerly official in the Edinburgh Pharmacopoeia,
-being esteemed as a remedy for dropsy. It is said to have formed the
-basis of a celebrated nostrum for gout, called _Eau medicinale_, and in
-former times was called _Gratia Dei_. When growing in abundance, as it
-does in some damp pastures in Switzerland, it becomes dangerous to
-cattle. G. _peruviana_ is known to possess similar properties.
-
- The hyssop (_'ezob_) of Scripture (Ex. xii. 22; Lev. xiv. 4, 6; Numb.
- xix. 6, 18; 1 Kings v. 13 (iv. 33); Ps. li. 9 (7); John xix. 29), a
- wall-growing plant adapted for sprinkling purposes, has long been the
- subject of learned disputation, the only point on which all have
- agreed being that it is not to be identified with the _Hyssopus
- officinalis_, which is not a native of Palestine. No fewer than
- eighteen plants have been supposed by various authors to answer the
- conditions, and Celsius has devoted more than forty pages to the
- discussion of their several claims. By Tristram (_Oxford Bible for
- Teachers_, 1880) and others the caper plant (_Capparis spinosa_) is
- supposed to be meant; but, apart from other difficulties, this
- identification is open to the objection that the caper seems to be, at
- least in one passage (Eccl. xii. 5), otherwise designated
- (_'abiy-yonah_). Thenius (on 1 Kings v. 13) suggests _Orthotrichum
- saxatile_. The most probable opinion would seem to be that found in
- Maimonides and many later writers, according to which the Hebrew
- _'ezob_ is to be identified with the Arabic _sa'atar_, now understood
- to be _Satureja Thymus_, a plant of very frequent occurrence in Syria
- and Palestine, with which _Thymus Serpyllum_, or wild thyme, and
- _Satureja Thymbra_ are closely allied. Its smell, taste and medicinal
- properties are similar to those of _H. officinalis_. In Morocco the
- _sa'atar_ of the Arabs is _Origanum compactum_; and it appears
- probable that several plants of the genera _Thymus_, _Origanum_ and
- others nearly allied in form and habit, and found in similar
- localities, were used under the name of hyssop.

-HYSTASPES (the Greek form of the Persian _Vishtaspa_). (1) A
-semi-legendary king (_kava_), praised by Zoroaster as his protector and
-a true believer, son of Aurvataspa (Lohrasp). The later tradition and
-the Shahname of Firdousi makes him (in the modern form Kai Gushtasp)
-king of Iran. As Zoroaster probably preached his religion in eastern
-Iran, Vishtaspa must have been a dynast in Bactria or Sogdiana. The
-Zoroastrian religion was already dominant in Media in the time of the
-Assyrian king Sargon (c. 715 B.C.), and had been propagated here
-probably in much earlier times (cf. PERSIA); the time of Zoroaster and
-Vishtaspa may therefore be put at c. 1000 B.C. (2) A Persian, father of
-Darius I., under whose reign he was governor of Parthia, as Darius
-himself mentions in the Behistun inscription (2. 65). By Ammianus
-Marcellinus, xxiii. 6. 32, and by many modern authors he has been
-identified with the protector of Zoroaster, which is equally impossible
-for chronological and historical reasons, and from the evidence of the
-development of Zoroastrianism itself (see PERSIA: _Ancient History_).

-HYSTERESIS (Gr. [Greek: hysteresis], from [Greek: hysterein], to lag
-behind), a term added to the vocabulary of physical science by J. A.
-Ewing, who defines it as follows: When there are two qualities M and N
-such that cyclic variations of N cause cyclic variations of M, then if
-the changes of M lag behind those of N, we may say that there is
-hysteresis in the relation of M to N (_Phil. Trans._, 1885, 176, p.
-524). The phenomenon is best known in connexion with magnetism. If an
-iron bar is subjected to a magnetic force which is first gradually
-increased to a maximum and then gradually diminished, the resulting
-magnetization of the bar for any given value of the magnetic force will
-be greater when the force is decreasing than when it is increasing; the
-iron always tends to retain the magnetic condition which it has
-previously acquired, and changes of its magnetization consequently lag
-behind changes of the magnetic force. Thus there is hysteresis in the
-relation of magnetization to magnetic force. In consequence of
-hysteresis the process of magnetizing a piece of iron to a certain
-intensity and then restoring it to its original condition, or of
-effecting a double reversal of its magnetization, involves the
-expenditure of energy, which is dissipated as heat in the iron.
-Electrical generators and transformers often contain pieces of iron the
-magnetization of which is reversed many times in a second, and in order
-to economize power and to avoid undue heating it is essential that
-hysteresis should in such cases be as small as possible. Iron and mild
-steels showing remarkably little hysteresis are now specially
-manufactured for use in the construction of electrical machinery. (See
-MAGNETISM.)

-
-HYSTERIA, a term applied to an affection which may manifest itself by a
-variety of symptoms, and which depends upon a disordered condition of
-the highest nervous centres. It is characterized by psychical
-peculiarities, while in addition there is often derangement of the
-functions subserved by the lower cerebral and spinal centres.
-Histological examination of the nervous system has failed to disclose
-associated structural alterations.
-
-By the ancients and by modern physicians down to the time of Sydenham
-the symptoms of hysteria were supposed to be directly due to
-disturbances of the uterus (Gr. [Greek: hystera], whence the name). This
-view is now universally recognized to be erroneous. The term
-"functional" is often used by English neurologists as synonymous with
-hysterical, a nomenclature which is tentatively advantageous since it is
-at least non-committal. P. J. Mobius has defined hysteria as "a state in
-which ideas control the body and produce morbid changes in its
-functions." P. Janet, who has done much to popularize the psychical
-origin of the affection, holds that there is "a limitation of the field
-of consciousness" comparable to the contraction of the visual fields met
-with in the disease. The hysterical subject, according to this view, is
-incapable of taking into the field of consciousness all the impressions
-of which the normal individual is conscious. Strong momentary
-impressions are no longer controlled so efficiently because of the
-defective simultaneous impressions of previous memories. Hence the
-readiness with which the impulse of the moment is obeyed, the loss of
-emotional control and the increased susceptibility to external
-suggestion, which are so characteristic. A secondary subconscious mental
-state is engendered by the relegation of less prominent impressions to a
-lower sphere. The dual personality which is typically exemplified in
-somnambulism and in the hypnotic state is thus induced. The explanation
-of hysterical symptoms which are independent of the will, and of the
-existence of which the individual may be unaware, is to be found in a
-relative preponderance of this secondary subconscious state as compared
-with the primary conscious personality. An elaboration of this theory
-affords an explanation of hysterical symptoms dependent upon a "fixed
-idea." The following definition of hysteria has recently been advanced
-by J. F. F. Babinski: "Hysteria is a psychical condition manifesting
-itself principally by signs that may be termed primary, and in an
-accessory sense others that we may call secondary. The characteristic of
-the primary signs is that they may be exactly reproduced in certain
-subjects by suggestion and dispelled by persuasion. The characteristic
-of the secondary signs is that they are closely related to the primary
-phenomena."
-
-The causes of hysteria may be divided into (a) the predisposing, such as
-hereditary predisposition to nervous disease, sex, age and national
-idiosyncrasy; and (b) the immediate, such as mental and physical
-exhaustion, fright and other emotional influences, pregnancy, the
-puerperal condition, diseases of the uterus and its appendages, and the
-depressing influence of injury or general disease. Perhaps, taken over
-all, hereditary predisposition to nerve-instability may be asserted as
-the most prolific cause. There is frequently direct inheritance, and
-cases of epilepsy and insanity or other form of nervous disease are
-rarely wanting when the family history is carefully enquired into. As
-regards age, the condition is apt to appear at the evolution periods of
-life--puberty, pregnancy and the climacteric--without any further
-assignable cause except that first spoken of. It is rare in young
-children, but very frequent in girls between the ages of fifteen and
-twenty-five, while it sometimes manifests itself in women at the
-menopause. It is much more common in the female than in the male--in the
-proportion of 20 to 1. Certain races are more liable to the disease than
-others; thus the Latin races are much more prone to hysteria than are
-those who come of a Teutonic stock, and in more aggravated and complex
-forms. In England it has been asserted that an undue proportion of cases
-occur among Jews. Occupation, or be it rather said want of occupation,
-is a prolific cause. This is noticeable more especially in the higher
-classes of society.
-
-An hysterical attack may occur as an immediate sequel to an epileptic
-fit. If the patient suffers only from _petit mal_ (see EPILEPSY),
-unaccompanied by true epileptic fits, the significance of the hysterical
-seizure, which is really a post-epileptic phenomenon, may remain
-unrecognized.
-
-It is convenient to group the very varied symptoms of hysteria into
-paroxysmal and chronic. The popular term "hysterics" is applied to an
-explosion of emotionalism, generally the result of mental excitement, on
-which convulsive fits may supervene. The characters of these vary, and
-may closely resemble epilepsy. The hysterical fit is generally preceded
-by an aura or warning. This sometimes takes the form of a sensation as
-of a lump in the throat (_globus hystericus_). The patient may fall, but
-very rarely is injured in so doing. The eyes are often tightly closed,
-the body and limbs become rigid, and the back may become so arched that
-the patient rests on her heels and head (_opisthotonos_). This stage is
-usually followed by violent struggling movements. There is no loss of
-consciousness. The attack may last for half-an-hour or even longer.
-Hysterical fits in their fully-developed form are rarely seen in
-England, though common in France. In the chronic condition we find an
-extraordinary complexity of symptoms, both physical and mental. The
-physical symptoms are extremely diverse. There may be a paralysis of one
-or more limbs associated with rigidity, which may persist for weeks,
-months or years. In some cases, the patient is unable to walk; in others
-there are peculiarities of the gait quite unlike anything met with in
-organic disease. Perversions of sensation are usually present; a common
-instance is the sensation of a nail being driven through the vertex of
-the head (_clavus hystericus_). The region of the spine is a very
-frequent seat of hysterical pain. Loss of sensation (_anaesthesia_), of
-which the patient may be unaware, is of common occurrence. Very often
-this sensory loss is limited exactly to one-half of the body, including
-the leg, arm and face on that side (_hemianaesthesia_). Sensation to
-touch, pain, heat and cold, and electrical stimuli may have completely
-disappeared in the anaesthetic region. In other cases, the anaesthesia
-is relative or it may be partial, certain forms of sensation remaining
-intact. Anaesthesia is almost always accompanied by an inability to
-recognize the exact position of the affected limb when the eyes are
-closed. When hemianaesthesia is present, sight, hearing, taste and smell
-are usually impaired on that side of the body. Often there is loss of
-voice (hysterical aphonia). It is to such cases of hysterical paralysis
-and sensory disturbance that the wonderful cures effected by quacks and
-charlatans may be referred. The mental symptoms have not the same
-tendency to pass away suddenly. They may be spoken of as
-inter-paroxysmal and paroxysmal. The chief characteristics of the former
-are extreme emotionalism combined with obstructiveness, a desire to be
-an object of interest and a constant craving for sympathy which is often
-procured at an immense sacrifice of personal comfort. Obstructiveness is
-the invariable symptom. Hysteria may pass into absolute insanity.
-
-The treatment of hysteria demands great tact and firmness on the part of
-the physician. The affection is a definite entity and has to be clearly
-distinguished from malingering, with which it is so often erroneously
-regarded as synonymous. Drugs are of little value. The moral treatment
-is all-important. In severe cases, removal from home surroundings and
-isolation, either in a hospital ward or nursing home, are essential, in
-order that full benefit may be derived from psychotherapeutic measures.

-HYTHE, a market town and watering-place, one of the Cinque Ports, and a
-municipal and parliamentary borough of Kent, England, 67 m. S.E. by E.
-of London on a branch of the South Eastern & Chatham railway. Pop.
-(1901) 5557. It is beautifully situated at the foot of a steep hill near
-the eastern extremity of Romney Marsh, about half a mile from the sea,
-and consists principally of one long street running parallel with the
-shore, with which it is connected by a straight avenue of wych elms. On
-account of its fine situation and picturesque and interesting
-neighbourhood, it is a favourite watering-place. A sea-wall and parade
-extend eastward to Sandgate, a distance of 3 m. There is communication
-with Sandgate by means of a tramway along the front. On the slope of the
-hill above the town stands the fine church of St Leonard, partly Late
-Norman, with a very beautiful Early English chancel. The tower was
-rebuilt about 1750. In a vault under the chancel there is a collection
-of human skulls and bones supposed to be the remains of men killed in a
-battle near Hythe in 456. Lionel Lukin (1742-1834), inventor of the
-life-boat, is buried in the churchyard. Hythe possesses a guildhall
-founded in 1794 and two hospitals, that of St Bartholomew founded by
-Haimo, bishop of Rochester, in 1336, and that of St John (rebuilt in
-1802), of still greater antiquity but unknown date, founded originally
-for the reception of lepers. A government school of musketry, in which
-instructors for the army are trained, was established in 1854, and has
-been extended since, and the Shorncliffe military camp is within 2(1/2)
-m. of the town.
-
-Lympne, which is now 3 m. inland, is thought to have been the original
-harbour which gave Hythe a place among the Cinque Ports. The course of
-the ancient estuary may be distinctly traced from here along the road to
-Hythe, the sea-sand lying on the surface and colouring the soil. Here
-are remains of a Roman fortress, and excavations have brought to light
-many remains of the Roman _Portus Lemanis_. Large portions of the
-fortress walls are standing. At the south-west corner is one of the
-circular towers which occurred along the line of wall. The site is now
-occupied by the fine old castellated mansion of Studfall castle,
-formerly a residence of the archdeacons of Canterbury. The name denotes
-a fallen place, and is not infrequently thus applied to ancient remains.
-The church at Lympne is Early English, with a Norman tower built by
-Archbishop Lanfranc, and Roman material may be traced in the walls. A
-short distance east is Shipway or Shepway Cross, where some of the great
-assemblies relating to the Cinque Ports were held. A mile north from
-Hythe is Saltwood Castle, of very ancient origin, but rebuilt in the
-time of Richard II. The castle was granted to the see of Canterbury in
-1026, but escheated to the crown in the time of Henry II., when the
-murder of Thomas a Beckett is said to have been concerted here, and
-having been restored to the archbishops by King John remained a
-residence of theirs until the time of Henry VIII. It was restored as a
-residence in 1882. About 2 m. N.W. of Saltwood are remains of the
-fortified 14th-century manor-house of Westenhanger. It is quadrangular
-and surrounded by a moat, and of the nine towers (alternately square and
-round) by which the walls were defended, three remain.
-
-The parliamentary borough of Hythe, which includes Folkestone, Sandgate
-and a number of neighbouring villages, returns one member. The town is
-governed by a mayor, 4 aldermen and 12 councillors. Area 2617 acres.
-
-Hythe (Heda, Heya, Hethe, Hithe, _i.e._ landing-place) was known as a
-port in Saxon times, and was granted by Halfden, a Saxon thegn, to
-Christ Church, Canterbury. In the Domesday Survey the borough is entered
-among the archbishop's lands as appurtenant to his manor of Saltwood,
-and the bailiff of the town was appointed by the archbishop. Hythe was
-evidently a Cinque Port before the Conquest, as King John in 1205
-confirmed the liberties, viz. freedom from toll, the right to be
-impleaded only at the Shepway court, &c., which the townsmen had under
-Edward the Confessor. The liberties of the Cinque Ports were confirmed
-in Magna Carta and later by Edward I. in a general charter, which was
-confirmed, often with additions, by subsequent kings down to James II.
-John's charter to Hythe was confirmed by Henry IV., Henry V. and Henry
-VI. These charters were granted to the Cinque Ports in return for the
-fifty-seven ships which they supplied for the royal service, of which
-five were contributed by Hythe. The ports were first represented in the
-parliament of 1365, to which they each sent four members.
-
-Hythe was governed by twelve jurats until 1574, when it was incorporated
-by Elizabeth under the title of the mayor, jurats and commonalty of
-Hythe; a fair for the sale of fish, &c., was also granted, to be held on
-the feast of St Peter and St Paul. As the sea gradually retreated from
-Hythe and the harbour became choked up with sand, the town suffered the
-fate of other places near it, and lost its old importance.

-I the ninth letter of the English and Latin alphabet, the tenth in the
-Greek and Phoenician, because in these the symbol Teth (the Greek
-[theta]) preceded it. Teth was not included in the Latin alphabet
-because that language had no sound corresponding to the Greek [theta],
-but the symbol was metamorphosed and utilized as the numeral C = 100,
-which took this form through the influence of the initial letter of the
-Latin _centum_. The name of I in the Phoenician alphabet was _Yod_.
-Though in form it seems the simplest of letters it was originally much
-more complex. In Phoenician it takes the form [symbol], which is found
-also in the earliest Syriac and Palestinian inscriptions with little
-modification. Ultimately in Hebrew it became reduced to a very small
-symbol, whence comes its use as a term of contempt for things of no
-importance as in "not one _jot_ or tittle" (Matthew v. 18). The name
-passed from Phoenician to Greek, and thence to the Latin of the vulgate
-as _iota_, and from the Latin the English word is derived. Amongst the
-Greeks of Asia it appears only as the simple upright I, but in some of
-the oldest alphabets elsewhere, as Crete, Thera, Attica, Achaia and its
-colonies in lower Italy, it takes the form [symbol] or S, while at
-Corinth and Corcyra it appears first in a form closely resembling the
-later Greek _sigma_ [Sigma]. It had originally no cross-stroke at top
-and bottom. I being not _i_ but _z_. The Phoenician alphabet having no
-vowel symbols, the value of _yod_ was that of the English _y_. In Greek,
-where the consonant sound had disappeared or been converted into _h_, I
-is regularly used as a vowel. Occasionally, as in Pamphylian, it is used
-dialectically as a glide between _i_ and another vowel, as in the proper
-name [Greek: Damatriius]. In Latin I was used alike for both vowel and
-consonant, as in _iugum_ (yoke). The sound represented by it was
-approximately that still assigned to _i_ on the continent. Neither Greek
-nor Latin made any distinction in writing between short and long _i_,
-though in the Latin of the Empire the long sound was occasionally
-represented by a longer form of the symbol I. The dot over the _i_
-begins in the 5th or 6th century A.D. In pronunciation the English short
-_i_ is a more open sound than that of most languages, and does not
-correspond to the Greek and Latin sound. Nor are the English short and
-long _i_ of the same quality. The short _i_ in Sweet's terminology is a
-high-front-wide vowel, the long _i_, in English often spelt _ee_ in
-words like _seed_, is diphthonged, beginning like the short vowel but
-becoming higher as it proceeds. The Latin short _i_, however, in final
-syllables was open and ultimately became _e_, e.g. in the neuter of
-_i_-stems as _utile_ from _utili-s_. Medially both the short and the
-long sounds are very common in syllables which were originally
-unaccented, because in such positions many other sounds passed into _i_:
-_officio_ but _facio_, _redimo_ but _emo_, _quidlibet_ but _lubet_
-(_libet_ is later); _collido_ but _laedo_, _fido_ from an older _feido_,
-_istis_ (dative plural) from an earlier _istois_. (P. Gi.)

-IAMBIC, the term employed in prosody to denote a succession of verses,
-each consisting of a foot or metre called an iambus ([Greek: iambos]),
-formed of two syllables, of which the first is short and the second long
-(u --). After the dactylic hexameter, the iambic trimeter was the most
-popular metre of ancient Greece. Archilochus is said to have been the
-inventor of this iambic verse, the [Greek: trimetros] consisting of
-three iambic fed. In the Greek tragedians an iambic line is formed of
-six feet arranged in obedience to the following scheme:--
-
- u -- | u -- | u -- | u -- | u -- | u -- |
- u u u | u u u | u u u | u u u | u u u | |
- -- -- | | -- -- | | -- -- | |
- -- u u | | -- u u | | | |
- u u -- | | | | | |
-
-Much of the beauty of the verse depends on the caesura, which is usually
-In the middle of the third foot, and far less frequently in the middle
-of the fourth. The English language runs more naturally in the iambic
-metre than in any other. The normal blank verse in English is founded
-upon an iambic basis, and Milton's line--
-
- And swims | or sinks | or wades | or creeps | or flies | --
-
-exhibits it in its primitive form. The ordinary alexandrine of French
-literature is a hexapod iambic, but in all questions of quantity in
-modern prosody great care has to be exercised to recollect that all
-ascriptions of classic names to modern forms of rhymed or blank verse
-are merely approximate. The octosyllabic, or four-foot iambic metre, has
-found great favour in English verse founded on old romances.
-Decasyllabic iambic lines rhyming together form an "heroic" metre.

-IAMBLICHUS (d. c. A.D. 330), the chief representative of Syrian
-Neoplatonism, is only imperfectly known to us in the events of his life
-and the details of his creed. We learn, however, from Suidas, and from
-his biographer Eunapius, that he was born at Chalcis in Coele-Syria, the
-scion of a rich and illustrious family, that he studied under Anatolius
-and afterwards under Porphyry, the pupil of Plotinus, that he himself
-gathered together a large number of disciples of different nations with
-whom he lived on terms of genial friendship, that he wrote "various
-philosophical books," and that he died during the reign of
-Constantine,--according to Fabricius, before A.D. 333. His residence
-(probably) at his native town of Chalcis was varied by a yearly visit
-with his pupils to the baths of Gadara. Of the books referred to by
-Suidas only a fraction has been preserved. His commentaries on Plato and
-Aristotle, and works on the Chaldaean theology and on the soul, are
-lost. For our knowledge of his system we are indebted partly to the
-fragments of these writings preserved by Stobaeus and others, and to the
-notices of his successors, especially Proclus, partly to his five extant
-books, the sections of a great work on the Pythagorean philosophy.
-Besides these, Proclus (412-485) seems to have ascribed to him[1] the
-authorship of the celebrated book _On the Egyptian Mysteries_
-(so-called), and although its differences in style and in some points of
-doctrine from the writings just mentioned make it improbable that the
-work was by Iamblichus himself, it certainly emanated from his school,
-and in its systematic attempt to give a speculative justification of the
-polytheistic cultus of the day, marks the turning-point in the history
-of thought at which Iamblichus stood.
-
-As a speculative theory Neoplatonism (q.v.) had received its highest
-development from Plotinus. The modifications introduced by Iamblichus
-were the elaboration in greater detail of its formal divisions, the more
-systematic application of the Pythagorean number-symbolism, and chiefly,
-under the influence of Oriental systems, the thorough-going mythic
-interpretation of what the previous philosophy had still regarded as
-notional. It is on the last account, probably, that Iamblichus was
-looked upon with such extravagant veneration. As a philosopher he had
-learning indeed, but little originality. His aim was to give a
-philosophical rendering of the popular religion. By his contemporaries
-he was accredited with miraculous powers (which he, however,
-disclaimed), and by his followers in the decline of Greek philosophy,
-and his admirers on its revival in the 15th and 16th centuries, his name
-was scarcely mentioned without the epithet "divine" or "most divine,"
-while, not content with the more modest eulogy of Eunapius that he was
-inferior to Porphyry only in style, the emperor Julian regarded him as
-not even second to Plato, and said that he would give all the gold of
-Lydia for one epistle of Iamblichus.
-
-Theoretically, the philosophy of Plotinus was an attempt to harmonize
-the principles of the various Greek schools. At the head of his system
-he placed the transcendent incommunicable one ([Greek: hen amethekton]),
-whose first-begotten is intellect ([Greek: nous]), from which proceeds
-soul ([Greek: psyche]), which in turn gives birth to [Greek: physis],
-the realm of nature. Immediately after the absolute one, Iamblichus
-introduced a second superexistent unity to stand between it and the many
-as the producer of intellect, and made the three succeeding moments of
-the development (intellect, soul and nature) undergo various
-modifications. He speaks of them as intellectual ([Greek: theoi
-noeroi]), supramundane ([Greek: hyperkosmioi]), and mundane gods
-([Greek: egkosmioi]). The first of these--which Plotinus represented
-under the three stages of (objective) being ([Greek: on]), (subjective)
-life ([Greek: zoe]), and (realized) intellect ([Greek: nous])--is
-distinguished by him into spheres of intelligible gods ([Greek: theoi
-noetoi]) and of intellectual gods ([Greek: theoi noeroi]), each
-subdivided into triads, the latter sphere being the place of ideas, the
-former of the archetypes of these ideas. Between these two worlds, at
-once separating and uniting them, some scholars think there was inserted
-by Iamblichus, as afterwards by Proclus, a third sphere partaking of the
-nature of both ([Greek: theoi noetoi kai noeroi]). But this supposition
-depends on a merely conjectural emendation of the text. We read,
-however, that "in the intellectual hebdomad he assigned the third rank
-among the fathers to the Demiurge." The Demiurge, Zeus, or
-world-creating potency, is thus identified with the perfected [Greek:
-nous], the intellectual triad being increased to a hebdomad, probably
-(as Zeller supposes) through the subdivision of its first two members.
-As in Plotinus [Greek: nous] produced nature by mediation of [Greek:
-psyche], so here the intelligible gods are followed by a triad of
-psychic gods. The first of these is incommunicable and supramundane,
-while the other two seem to be mundane though rational. In the third
-class, or mundane gods ([Greek: theoi egkosmioi]), there is a still
-greater wealth of divinities, of various local position, function, and
-rank. We read of gods, angels, demons and heroes, of twelve heavenly
-gods whose number is increased to thirty-six or three hundred and sixty,
-and of seventy-two other gods proceeding from them, of twenty-one chiefs
-([Greek: hegemones]) and forty-two nature-gods ([Greek: theoi
-genesiourgoi]), besides guardian divinities, of particular individuals
-and nations. The world is thus peopled by a crowd of superhuman beings
-influencing natural events, possessing and communicating knowledge of
-the future, and not inaccessible to prayers and offerings.
-
-The whole of this complex theory is ruled by a mathematical formulism of
-triad, hebdomad, &c., while the first principle is identified with the
-monad, [Greek: nous] with the dyad, and [Greek: psyche] with the triad,
-symbolic meanings being also assigned to the other numbers. "The
-theorems of mathematics," he says, "apply absolutely to all things,"
-from things divine to original matter ([Greek: hyle]). But though he
-thus subjects all things to number, he holds elsewhere that numbers are
-independent existences, and occupy a middle place between the limited
-and unlimited.
-
-Another difficulty of the system is the account given of nature. It is
-said to be "bound by the indissoluble chains of necessity which men call
-fate," as distinguished from divine things which are not subject to
-fate. Yet, being itself the result of higher powers becoming corporeal,
-a continual stream of elevating influence flows from them to it,
-interfering with its necessary laws and turning to good ends the
-imperfect and evil. Of evil no satisfactory account is given; it is said
-to have been generated accidentally.
-
-In his doctrine of man Iamblichus retains for the soul the middle place
-between intellect and nature which it occupies in the universal order.
-He rejects the passionless and purely intellectual character ascribed to
-the human soul by Plotinus, distinguishing it sharply both from those
-above and those below it. He maintains that it moves between the higher
-and lower spheres, that it descends by a necessary law (not solely for
-trial or punishment) into the body, and, passing perhaps from one human
-body to another, returns again to the supersensible. This return is
-effected by the virtuous activities which the soul performs through its
-own power of free will, and by the assistance of the gods. These virtues
-were classified by Porphyry as political, purifying ([Greek:
-kathartikai]), theoretical, and paradigmatic; and to these Iamblichus
-adds a fifth class of priestly virtues ([Greek: hieratikai aretai]), in
-which the divinest part of the soul raises itself above intellect to
-absolute being.
-
-Iamblichus does not seem ever to have attained to that ecstatic
-communion with and absorption in deity which was the aim of earlier
-Neoplatonism, and which Plotinus enjoyed four times in his life,
-Porphyry once. Indeed his tendency was not so much to raise man to God
-as to bring the gods down to men--a tendency shown still more plainly in
-the "Answer of Abamon the master to Porphyry's letter to Anebo and
-solutions of the doubts therein expressed," afterwards entitled the
-_Liber de mysteriis_, and ascribed to Iamblichus.
-
-In answer to questions raised and doubts expressed by Porphyry, the
-writer of this treatise appeals to the innate idea all men have of the
-gods as testifying to the existence of divinities countless in number
-and various in rank (to the correct arrangement of which he, like
-Iamblichus, attaches the greatest importance). He holds with the latter
-that above all principles of being and intelligence stands the absolute
-one, from whom the first god and king spontaneously proceeds; while
-after these follow the ethereal, empyrean, and heavenly gods, and the
-various orders of archangels, angels, demons, and heroes distinguished
-in nature, power, and activity, and in greater profusion than even the
-imagination of Iamblichus had conceived. He says that all the gods are
-good (though he in another place admits the existence of evil demons who
-must be propitiated), and traces the source of evil to matter; rebuts
-the objection that their answering prayer implies passivity on the part
-of gods or demons; defends divination, soothsaying, and theurgic
-practices as manifestations of the divine activity; describes the
-appearances of the different sorts of divinities; discusses the various
-kinds of sacrifice, which he says must be suitable to the different
-natures of the gods, material and immaterial, and to the double
-condition of the sacrificer as bound to the body or free from it
-(differing thus in his psychology from Iamblichus); and, in conclusion,
-states that the only way to happiness is through knowledge of and union
-with the gods, and that theurgic practices alone prepare the mind for
-this union--again going beyond his master, who held assiduous
-contemplation of divine things to be sufficient. It is the passionless
-nature of the soul which permits it to be thus united to divine
-beings,--knowledge of this mystic union and of the worship associated
-with it having been derived from the Egyptian priests, who learnt it
-from Hermes.
-
-On one point only does the author of the _De mysteriis_ seem not to go
-so far as Iamblichus in thus making philosophy subservient to
-priestcraft. He condemns as folly and impiety the worship of images of
-the gods, though his master held that these _simulacra_ were filled with
-divine power, whether made by the hand of man or (as he believed) fallen
-from heaven. But images could easily be dispensed with from the point of
-view of the writer, who not only held that all things were full of gods
-([Greek: panta plere theon], as Thales said), but thought that each man
-had a special divinity of his own--an [Greek: idios daimon]--as his
-guard and companion.
-
- The following are the extant works of Iamblichus: (1) _On the
- Pythagorean_ (_Life_ [Greek: Peri tou Pythagorikou biou]), ed. T.
- Kiessling (1815), A. Nauck (St Petersburg, 1884); for a discussion of
- the authorities used see E. Rohde in _Rheinisches Museum_, xxvi.,
- xxvii. (1871, 1872); Eng. trans. by Thomas Taylor (1818), (2) The
- _Exhortation to Philosophy_ ([Greek: Logos protreptikos eis
- philosophian]), ed. T. Kiessling (1813); H. Piselli (1888). (3) The
- treatise _On the General Science of Mathematics_ ([Greek: Peri tes
- koines mathematkes epistemes]), ed. J. G. Friis (Copenhagen, 1790), N.
- Festa (Leipzig, 1891). (4) The book _On the Arithmetic of Nicomachus_
- ([Greek: Peri tes Nikomachou arithmetikes eisagoges]), along with
- fragments on fate ([Greek: Peri heimarmenes]) and prayer ([Greek: Peri
- euches]), ed. S. Tennulius (1688), the _Arithmetic_ by H. Pistelli
- (1894). (5) The _Theological Principles of Arithmetic_ ([Greek:
- Theologoumena tes arithmetikes])--the seventh book of the series--by
- F. Ast (Leipzig, 1817). Two lost books, treating of the physical and
- ethical signification of numbers, stood fifth and sixth, while books
- on music, geometry and astronomy followed. The emperor Julian had a
- great admiration for Iamblichus, whom he considered "intellectually
- not inferior to Plato"; but the _Letters to Iamblicus the Philosopher_
- which bear his name are now generally considered spurious.
-
- The so-called _Liber de mysteriis_ was first edited, with Latin
- translation and notes, by T. Gale (Oxford, 1678), and more recently by
- C. Parthey (Berlin, 1857); Eng. trans. by Thomas Taylor (1821).
-
- There is a monograph on Iamblichus by G. E. Hebenstreit (_De
- Iamblichi, philosophi Syri, doctrina_, Leipzig, 1764), and one of the
- _De myst._ by Harless (_Das Buch v. d. agypt. Myst._, Munich, 1858).
- The best accounts of Iamblichus are those of Zeller, _Phil. d.
- Griechen_, iii. 2, pp. 613 sq., 2nd ed.; E. Vacherot, _Hist. de
- l'ecole d'Alexandrie_ (1846), ii. 57 sq.; J. Simon, _Hist. de l'ecole

-IAMBLICHUS, of Syria, the earliest of the Greek romance writers,
-flourished in the 2nd century A.D. He was the author of [Greek:
-Babyloniaka], the loves of Rhodanes and Sinonis, of which an epitome is
-preserved in Photius (cod. 94). Garmus, a legendary king of Babylon,
-forces Sinonis to marry him and throws Rhodanes into prison. The lovers
-manage to escape, and after many singular adventures, in which magic
-plays a considerable part, Garmus is overthrown by Rhodanes, who becomes
-king of Babylon. According to Suidas, Iamblichus was a freedman, and a
-scholiast's note on Photius further informs us that he was a native
-Syrian (not descended from Greek settlers); that he borrowed the
-material for his romance from a love story told him by his Babylonian
-tutor, and that he subsequently applied himself with great success to
-the study of Greek. A MS. of the original in the library of the Escorial
-is said to have been destroyed by fire in 1670. Only a few fragments
-have been preserved, in addition to Photius's epitome.

-written Janina, Jannina, and, according to its Albanian pronunciation,
-Yanina), the capital of the vilayet of Iannina, Albania, European
-Turkey. Pop. (1905) about 22,000. The largest ethnical groups in the
-population are the Albanian and Greek; the purest form of colloquial
-Greek is spoken here among the wealthy and highly educated merchant
-families. The position of Iannina is strikingly picturesque. At the foot
-of the grey limestone mass of Mount Mitzekeli (1500 ft.), which forms
-part of the fine range of hills running north from the Gulf of Arta,
-there lies a valley (the _Hellopia_ of antiquity) partly occupied by a
-lake; and the city is built on the slopes of a slight eminence,
-stretching down to the western shore. It has greatly declined from the
-state of barbaric prosperity which it enjoyed from 1788 to 1822, when it
-was the seat of Ali Pasha (q.v.), and was estimated to have from 30,000
-to 50,000 inhabitants. The fortress--Demir Kule or Iron Castle, which,
-like the principal seraglio, was built on a promontory jutting into the
-lake--is now in ruins. But the city is the seat of a Greek archbishop,
-and still possesses many mosques and churches, besides synagogues, a
-Greek college (gymnasium), a library and a hospital. Sayades (opposite
-Corfu) and Arta are the places through which it receives its imports.
-The rich gold and silver embroidery for which the city has long been
-famous is still one of the notable articles in its bazaar; but the
-commercial importance of Iannina has notably declined since the cession
-of Arta and Thessaly to Greece in 1881. Iannina had previously been one
-of the chief centres of the Thessalian grain trade; it now exports
-little except cheese, hides, bitumen and sheepskins to the annual value
-of about L120,000; the imports, which supply only the local demand for
-provisions, textile goods, hardware, &c., are worth about double that
-sum.
-
-The lake of Iannina (perhaps to be identified with the Pambotus or
-Pambotis of antiquity) is 6 m. long, and has an area of 24 sq.m., with
-an extreme depth of less than 35 ft. In time of flood it is united with
-the smaller lake of Labchistas to the north. There are no affluents of
-any considerable size, and the only outlets are underground passages or
-_katavothra_ extending for many miles through the calcareous rocks.
-
-The theory supported by W. M. Leake (_Northern Greece_, London, 1835)
-that the citadel of Iannina is to be identified with Dodona, is now
-generally abandoned in favour of the claims of a more southern site. As
-Anna Comnena, in describing the capture of the town ([Greek: ta
-Ioannina]) by Bohemond in 1082, speaks of the walls as being
-dilapidated, it may be supposed that the place existed before the 11th
-century. It is mentioned from time to time in the Byzantine annals, and
-on the establishment of the lordship of Epirus by Michael Angelus
-Comnenus Ducas, it became his capital. In the middle ages it was
-successively attacked by Serbs, Macedonians and Albanians; but it was in
-possession of the successors of Michael when the forces of the Sultan
-Murad appeared before it in 1430 (cf. Hahn, _Alban. Studien_, Jena
-[1854], pp. 319-322). Since 1431 it has continued under Turkish rule.
-
- Descriptions of Iannina will be found in Holland's _Travels_ (1815);
- Hughes, _Travels in Greece_, &c. (1830); H. F. Tozer, _Researches in
- the Highlands of Turkey_ (London, 1869). See also ALBANIA and the

-IAPETUS, in Greek mythology, son of Uranus and Gaea, one of the Titans,
-father of Atlas, Prometheus, Epimetheus and Menoetius, the
-personifications of certain human qualities (Hesiod, _Theog._ 507). As a
-punishment for having revolted against Zeus, he was imprisoned in
-Tartarus (Homer, _Iliad_, viii. 479) or underneath the island of Inarime
-off the coast of Campania (Silius Italicus xii. 148). Hyginus makes him
-the son of Tartarus and Gaea, and one of the giants. Iapetus was
-considered the original ancestor of the human race, as the father of
-Prometheus and grandfather of Deucalion. The name is probably identical
-with Japhet (Japheth), and the son of Noah in the Greek legend of the
-flood becomes the ancestor of (Noah) Deucalion. Iapetus as the
-representative of an obsolete order of things is described as warring
-against the new order under Zeus, and is naturally relegated to
-Tartarus.

-IAPYDES, or IAPODES, one of the three chief peoples of Roman Illyria.
-They occupied the interior of the country on the north between the Arsia
-(Arsa) and Tedanius (perhaps the Zermanja), which separated them from
-the Liburnians. Their territory formed part of the modern Croatia. They
-are described by Strabo as a mixed race of Celts and Illyrians, who used
-Celtic weapons, tattooed themselves, and lived chiefly on spelt and
-millet. They were a warlike race, addicted to plundering expeditions. In
-129 B.C. C. Sempronius Tuditanus celebrated a triumph over them, and in
-34 B.C. they were finally crushed by Augustus. They appear to have had a
-_foedus_ with Rome, but subsequently rebelled.

-IATROCHEMISTRY (coined from Gr. [Greek: iatros], a physician, and
-"chemistry"), a stage in the history of chemistry, during which the
-object of this science was held to be "not to make gold but to prepare
-medicines." This doctrine dominated chemical thought during the 16th
-century, its foremost supporters being Paracelsus, van Helmont and de la
-Boe Sylvius. But it gave way to the new definition formulated by Boyle,
-viz. that the proper domain of chemistry was "to determine the
-composition of substances." (See CHEMISTRY: I. _History_; MEDICINE.)

-IAZYGES, a tribe of Sarmatians first heard of on the Maeotis, where they
-were among the allies of Mithradates the Great. Moving westward across
-Scythia, and hence called Metanastae, they were on the lower Danube by
-the time of Ovid, and about A.D. 50 occupied the plains east of the
-Theiss. Here, under the general name of Sarmatae, they were a perpetual
-trouble to the Roman province of Dacia. They were divided into freemen
-and serfs (_Sarmatae Limigantes_), the latter of whom had a different
-manner of life and were probably an older settled population enslaved by
-nomad masters. They rose against them in A.D. 334, but were repressed by
-foreign aid. Nothing is heard of Iazyges or Sarmatae after the Hunnish
-invasions. Graves at Keszthely and elsewhere in the Theiss valley, shown
-by their contents to belong to nomads of the first centuries A.D., are
-referred to the Iazyges. (E. H. M.)

-IBADAN, a town of British West Africa, in Yorubaland, Southern Nigeria,
-123 m. by rail N.E. of Lagos, and about 50 m. N.E. of Abeokuta. Pop.
-1910 estimated at 150,000. The town occupies the slope of a hill, and
-stretches into the valley through which the river Ona flows. It is
-enclosed by mud walls, which have a circuit of 18 m., and is encompassed
-by cultivated land 5 or 6 m. in breadth. The native houses are all low,
-thatched structures, enclosing a square court, and the only break in the
-mud wall is the door. There are numerous mosques, _orishas_
-(idol-houses) and open spaces shaded with trees. There are a few
-buildings in the European style. Most of the inhabitants are engaged in
-agriculture; but a great variety of handicrafts is also carried on.
-Ibadan is the capital of one of the Yoruba states and enjoys a large
-measure of autonomy. Nominally the state is subject to the _alafin_
-(ruler) of Oyo; but it is virtually independent. The administration is
-in the hands of two chiefs, a civil and a military, the _bale_ and the
-_balogun_; these together form the highest court of appeal. There is
-also an _iyaloda_ or mother of the town, to whom are submitted all the
-disputes of the women. Ibadan long had a feud with Abeokuta, but on the
-establishment of the British protectorate the intertribal wars were
-stopped. In 1862 the people of Ibadan destroyed Ijaya, a neighbouring
-town of 60,000 inhabitants. A British resident and a detachment of Hausa
-troops are stationed at Ibadan.

-IBAGUE, or SAN BONIFACIO DE IBAGUE, a city of Colombia, and capital of
-the department of Tolima, about 60 m. W. of Bogota and 18 m. N.W. of the
-Nevado de Tolima. Pop. (1900, estimate) 13,000. Ibague is built on a
-beautiful plain between the Chipalo and Combeima, small affluents of the
-Cuello, a western tributary of the Magdalena. Its elevation, 4300 ft.
-above the sea, gives it a mild, subtropical climate. The plain and the
-neighbouring valleys produce cacao, tobacco, rice and sugar-cane. There
-are two thermal springs in the vicinity, and undeveloped mines of
-sulphur and silver. The city has an endowed college. It is an important
-commercial centre, being on the road which crosses the Quindio pass, or
-_paramo_, into the Cauca valley. Ibague was founded in 1550 and was the
-capital of the republic for a short time in 1854.

-IBARRA, a city of Ecuador and capital of the province of Imbabura, about
-50 m. N.N.E. of Quito, on a small fertile plain at the northern foot of
-Imbabura volcano, 7300 ft. above sea-level. Pop. (1900, estimate) 5000.
-It stands on the left bank of the Tahuando, a small stream whose waters
-flow north and west to the Pacific through the Mira, and is separated
-from the higher plateau of Quito by an elevated transverse ridge of
-which the Imbabura and Mojanda volcanoes form a part. The surrounding
-country is mountainous, the valleys being very fertile. Ibarra itself
-has a mild, humid climate, and is set in the midst of orchards and
-gardens. It is the see of a bishop and has a large number of churches
-and convents, and many substantial residences. Ibarra has manufactures
-of cotton and woollen fabrics, hats, sandals (_alpargates_), sacks and
-rope from _cabulla_ fibre, laces, sugar and various kinds of distilled
-spirits and cordials made from the sugar-cane grown in the vicinity.
-Mules are bred for the Colombian markets of Pasto and Popayan. Ibarra
-was founded in 1597 by Alvaro de Ibarra, the president of Quito. It has
-suffered from the eruptions of Imbabura, and more severely from
-earthquakes, that of 1859 causing great damage to its public buildings,
-and the greater one of the 16th of August 1868 almost completely
-destroyed the town and killed a large number of its inhabitants. The
-village of Carranqui, 1(1/4) m. from Ibarra, is the birthplace of
-Atahualpa, the Inca sovereign executed by Pizarro, and close by is the
-small lake called Yaguarcocha where the army of Huaynacapac, the father
-of Atahualpa, inflicted a bloody defeat on the Carranquis. Another
-aboriginal battle-field is that of Hatuntaqui, near Ibarra, where
-Huaynacapac won a decisive victory and added the greater part of Ecuador
-to his realm. The whole region is full of _tolas_, or Indian burial
-mounds.

-IBERIANS (Iberi, [Greek: Iberes]), an ancient people inhabiting parts of
-the Spanish peninsula. Their ethnic affinities are not known, and our
-knowledge of their history is comparatively slight. It is almost
-impossible to make any statement in regard to them which will meet with
-general agreement. At the same time, the general lines of Iberian
-controversy are clear enough The principal sources of information about
-the Iberians are (1) historical, (2) numismatic, (3) linguistic, (4)
-anthropological.
-
-1. _Historical._--The name seems to have been applied by the earlier
-Greek navigators to the peoples who inhabited the eastern coast of
-Spain; probably it originally meant those who dwelt by the river Iberus
-(mod. _Ebro_). It is possible (Boudard, _Etudes sur l'alphabet iberien_
-(Paris, 1852) that the river-name itself represents the Basque phrase
-_ibay-erri_ "the country of the river." On the other hand, even in older
-Greek usage (as in Thuc. vi. 1) the term Iberia is said to have embraced
-the country as far east as the Rhone (see Herodorus of Heraclea, _Fragm.
-Hist. Gr._ ii. 34), and by the time of Strabo it was the common Greek
-name for the Spanish peninsula. Iberians thus meant sometimes the
-population of the peninsula in general and sometimes, it would appear,
-the peoples of some definite race ([Greek: genos]) which formed one
-element in that population. Of the tribal distribution of this race, of
-its linguistic, social and political characteristics, and of the history
-of its relation to the other peoples of Spain, we have only the most
-general, fragmentary and contradictory accounts. On the whole, the
-historical evidence indicates that in Spain, when it first became known
-to the Greeks and Romans there existed many separate and variously
-civilized tribes connected by at least apparent identity of race, and by
-similarity (but not identity) of language, and sufficiently
-distinguished by their general characteristics from Phoenicians, Romans
-and Celts. The statement of Diodorus Siculus that the mingling of these
-Iberians with the immigrant Celts gave rise to the Celtiberians is in
-itself probable. Varro and Dionysius Afer proposed to identify the
-Iberians of Spain with the Iberians of the Caucasus, the one regarding
-the eastern, and other the western, settlements as the earlier.
-
-2. _Numismatic._--Knowledge of ancient Iberian language and history is
-mainly derived from a variety of coins, found widely distributed in the
-peninsula,[1] and also in the neighbourhood of Narbonne. They are
-inscribed in an alphabet which has many points of similarity with the
-western Greek alphabets, and some with the Punic alphabet; but which
-seems to retain a few characters from an older script akin to those of
-Minoan Crete and Roman Libya.[2] The same Iberian alphabet is found also
-rarely in inscriptions. The coinage began before the Roman conquest was
-completed; the monetary system resembles that of the Roman republic,
-with values analogous to _denarii_ and _quinarii_. The coin inscriptions
-usually give only the name of the town, e.g. PLPLIS (Bilbilis), KLAQRIQS
-(Calagurris), SEQBRICS (Segobriga), TMANIAV (Dumania). The types show
-late Greek and perhaps also late Punic influence, but approximate later
-to Roman models. The commonest reverse type, a charging horseman,
-reappears on the Roman coins of Bilbilis, Osca, Segobriga and other
-places. Another common type is one man leading two horses or brandishing
-a sword or a bow. The obverse has usually a male head, sometimes
-inscribed with what appears to be a native name.
-
-3. _Linguistic._--The survival of the non-Aryan language among the
-Basques around the west Pyrenees has suggested the attempt to interpret
-by its means a large class of similar-sounding place-names of ancient
-Spain, some of which are authenticated by their occurrence on the
-inscribed coins, and to link it with other traces of non-Aryan speech
-round the shores of the Western Mediterranean and on the Atlantic
-seaboard of Europe. This phase of Iberian theory opens with K. W.
-Humboldt (_Prufung der Untersuchungen uber die Urbewohner Hispaniens
-vermittelst der waskischen Sprache_, Berlin, 1821), who contended that
-there existed once a single great Iberian people, speaking a distinct
-language of their own; that an essentially "Iberian" population was to
-be found in Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, in southern France, and even
-in the British Isles; and that the Basques of the present day were
-remnants of this race, which had elsewhere been expelled or absorbed.
-This last was the central and the seminal idea of the work, and it has
-been the point round which the battle of scholarship has mainly raged.
-The principal evidence which Humboldt adduced in its support was the
-possibility of explaining a vast number of the ancient topographical
-names of Spain, and of other asserted Iberian districts, by the forms
-and significations of Basque. In reply, Graslin (_De l'Iberie_, Paris,
-1839), maintained that the name Iberia was nothing but a Greek misnomer
-of Spain, and that there was no proof that the Basque people had ever
-occupied a wider area than at present; and Blade (_Origine des Basques_,
-Paris, 1869) took the same line of argument, holding that Iberia is a
-purely geographical term, that there was no proper Iberian race, that
-the Basques were always shut in by alien races, that their affinity is
-still to seek, and that the whole Basque-Iberian theory is a figment.
-His main contention has met with some acceptance,[3] but the great
-current of ethnographical speculation still flows in the direction
-indicated by Humboldt.
-
-4. _Anthropological._--Humboldt's "Iberian theory" depended partly on
-linguistic comparisons, but partly on his observation of widespread
-similarity of physical type among the population of south-western
-Europe. Since his time the anthropological researches of Broca, Thurnam
-and Davis, Huxley, Busk, Beddoe, Virchow, Tubino and others have proved
-the existence in Europe, from Neolithic times, of a race, small of
-stature, with long or oval skulls, and accustomed to bury their dead in
-tombs. Their remains have been found in Belgium and France, in Britain,
-Germany and Denmark, as well as in Spain; and they bear a close
-resemblance to a type which is common among the Basques as well as all
-over the Iberian peninsula. This Neolithic race has consequently been
-nicknamed "Iberians," and it is now common to speak of the "Iberian"
-ancestry of the people of Britain, recognizing the racial
-characteristics of "Iberians" in the "small swarthy Welshman," the
-"small dark Highlander," and the "Black Celts to the west of the
-Shannon," as well as in the typical inhabitants of Aquitania and
-Brittany.[4] Later investigators went further. M. d'Arbois de
-Jubainville, for example (_Les Premiers habitants de l'Europe_, Paris,
-1877), maintained that besides possessing Spain, Gaul, Italy and the
-British Isles, "Iberian" peoples penetrated into the Balkan peninsula,
-and occupied a part of northern Africa, Corsica and Sardinia; and it is
-now generally accepted that a race with fairly uniform characteristics
-was at one time in possession of the south of France (or at least of
-Aquitania), the whole of Spain from the Pyrenees to the straits, the
-Canary Islands (the Guanches) a part of northern Africa and Corsica.
-Whether this type is more conveniently designated by the word _Iberian_,
-or by some other name ("Eur-african," "Mediterranean," &c.) is a matter
-of comparative indifference, provided that there is no misunderstanding
-as to the steps by which the term _Iberian_ attained its meaning in
-modern anthropology.

-IBEX, one of the names of the Alpine wild goat, otherwise known as the
-steinbok and bouquetin, and scientifically as _Capra ibex_. Formerly the
-ibex was common on the mountain-ranges of Germany, Switzerland and
-Tirol, but is now confined to the Alps which separate Valais from
-Piedmont, and to the lofty peaks of Savoy, where its existence is mainly
-due to game-laws. The ibex is a handsome animal, measuring about 4(1/2)
-ft. in length and standing about 40 in. at the shoulder. The skin is
-covered in summer with a short fur of an ashy-grey colour, and in winter
-with much longer yellowish-brown hair concealing a dense fur beneath.
-The horns of the male rise from the crest of the skull, and after
-bending gradually backwards terminate in smooth tips; the front surface
-of the remainder carrying bold transverse ridges or knots. About 1 yd.
-is the maximum recorded length of ibex-horns. The fact that the
-fore-legs are somewhat shorter than those behind enables the ibex to
-ascend mountain slopes with more facility than it can descend, while its
-hoofs are as hard as steel, rough underneath and when walking over a
-flat surface capable of being spread out. These, together with its
-powerful sinews, enable it to take prodigious leaps, to balance itself
-on the smallest foothold and to scale almost perpendicular rocks. Ibex
-live habitually at a greater height than chamois or any other Alpine
-mammals, their vertical limit being the line of perpetual snow. There
-they rest in sunny nooks during the day, descending at night to the
-highest woods to graze. Ibex are gregarious, feeding in herds of ten to
-fifteen individuals; but the old males generally live apart from, and
-usually at greater elevations than, the females and young. They utter a
-sharp whistling sound not unlike that of the chamois, but when greatly
-irritated or frightened make a peculiar snorting noise. The period of
-gestation in the female is ninety days, after which she
-produces--usually at the end of June--a single young one which is able
-at once to follow its mother. Kids when caught young and fed on goat's
-milk can be readily tamed; and in the 16th century young tamed ibex were
-frequently driven to the mountains along with the goats, in whose
-company they would afterwards return. Even wild ibex have been known to

-[Illustration: The Ibex (_Capra ibex_).]
-
-By naturalists the name "ibex" has been extended to embrace all the
-kindred species of wild goats, while by sportsmen it is used in a still
-more elastic sense, to include not only the true wild goat (known in
-India as the Sind ibex) but even the short-horned _Hemitragus hylocrius_
-of the Nilgiris. Dealing only with species zoologically known as ibex,
-the one nearest akin to the European kind is the Asiatic or Siberian
-ibex (_Capra sibirica_), which, with several local phases, extends from
-the northern side of Kashmir over an enormous area in Central Asia.
-These ibex, especially the race from the Thian Shan, are incomparably
-finer than the European species, their bold knotted horns sometimes
-attaining a length of close on 60 in. The Arabian, or Nubian, ibex (_C.
-nubiana_) is characterized by the more slender type of horn, in which
-the front edge is much narrower; while the Simien ibex (_C. vali_) of
-Central Abyssinia is a very large and dark-coloured animal, with the
-horns black instead of brownish, and bearing only slightly marked front
-ridges. The Caucasian ibex (_C. caucasica_), or tur, is a wholly
-fox-coloured animal, in which the horns are still flatter in front, and
-thus depart yet further from the ibex type. In the Spanish ibex (_C.
-pyrenaica_) the horns are flattened, with ill-defined knobs, and a
-spiral twist. (See GOAT.) (W. H. F.; R. L.*)

-IBIS, one of the sacred birds of the ancient Egyptians. James Bruce
-identified this bird with the _Abu-Hannes_ or "Father John" of the
-Abyssinians, and in 1790 it received from Latham (_Index
-ornithologicus_, p. 706) the name of _Tantalus aethiopicus_. This
-determination was placed beyond question by Cuvier (_Ann. du Museum_,
-iv. 116-135) and Savigny (_Hist. nat. et mythol. de l'ibis_) in 1805.
-They, however, removed it from the Linnaean genus _Tantalus_ and,
-Lacepede having some years before founded a genus _Ibis_, it was
-transferred thither, and is now generally known as _I. aethiopica_,
-though some speak of it as _I. religiosa_. No attempt can here be made
-to treat the ibis from a mythological or antiquarian point of view.
-Savigny's memoir contains a great deal of matter on the subject.
-Wilkinson (_Ancient Egyptians_, ser. 2, vol. ii. pp. 217-224) added some
-of the results of later research, and Renouf in his _Hibbert Lectures_
-explains the origin of the myth.
-
-The ibis is chiefly an inhabitant of the Nile basin from Dongola
-southward, as well as of Kordofan and Sennar; whence about midsummer it
-moves northwards to Egypt.[1] In Lower Egypt it bears the name of
-_Abu-mengel_, or "father of the sickle," from the form of its bill, but
-it does not stay long in that country, disappearing when the Nile has
-subsided. Hence most travellers have failed to meet with it there[2]
-(since their acquaintance with the birds of Egypt is limited to those
-which frequent the country in winter), and writers have denied generally
-to this species a place in its modern fauna (cf. Shelley, _Birds of
-Egypt_, p. 261). However, in 1864, von Heuglin (_Journ. fur
-Ornithologie_, 1865, p. 100) saw a young bird which had been shot in the
-Delta, and E. C. Taylor (_Ibis_, 1878, p. 372) saw an adult which had
-been killed near Lake Menzal in 1877. The story told to Herodotus of its
-destroying snakes is, according to Savigny, devoid of truth, but Cuvier
-states that he discovered partly digested remains of a snake in the
-stomach of a mummied ibis.
-
-The ibis is somewhat larger than a curlew, _Numenius arquata_, which
-bird it resembles, with a much stouter bill and stouter legs. The head
-and greater part of the neck are bare and black. The plumage is white,
-except the primaries, which are black, and a black plume, formed by the
-secondaries, tertials and lower scapulars, and richly glossed with
-bronze, blue and green, which curves gracefully over the hind-quarters.
-The bill and feet are also black. The young lack the ornamental plume,
-and in them the head and neck are clothed with short black feathers,
-while the bill is yellow. The nest is placed in bushes or high trees,
-the bird generally building in companies, and in the middle of August
-von Heuglin (_Orn. Nord-Ost-Afrikas_, p. 1138) found that it had from
-two to four young or much incubated eggs.[3] These are of a dingy white,
-splashed, spotted and speckled with reddish-brown.
-
-Congeneric with the typical ibis are two or three other species, the _I.
-melanocephala_ of India, the _I. molucca_ or _I. strictipennis_, of
-Australia, and the _I. bernieri_ of Madagascar, all of which closely
-resemble _I. aethiopica_; while many other forms not very far removed
-from it, though placed by authors in distinct genera,[4] are known.
-Among these are several beautiful species such as the Japanese
-_Geronticus nippon_, the _Lophotibis cristata_ of Madagascar, and the
-scarlet ibis,[5] _Eudocimus ruber_, of America. The glossy ibis,
-_Plegadis falcinellus_, found throughout the West Indies, Central and
-the south-eastern part of North America, as well as in many parts of
-Europe (whence it not unfrequently strays to the British Islands),
-Africa, Asia and Australia. This bird, believed to be the second kind of
-ibis spoken of by Herodotus, is rather smaller than the sacred ibis, and
-mostly of a dark chestnut colour with brilliant green and purple
-reflections on the upper parts, exhibiting, however, when young none of
-the rufous hue. This species lays eggs of a deep sea-green colour,
-having wholly the character of heron's eggs, and it often breeds in
-company with herons, while the eggs of all other ibises whose eggs are
-known resemble those of the sacred ibis. Though ibises resemble the
-curlews externally, there is no affinity between them. The _Ibididae_
-are more nearly related to the storks, _Ciconiidae_, and still more to
-the spoonbills, _Plataleidae_, with which latter many systematists
-consider them to form one group, the _Hemiglottides_ of Nitzsch.
-Together these groups form the sub-order _Ciconiae_ of the order
-_Ciconiiformes_. The true ibises are also to be clearly separated from
-the wood-ibises, _Tantalidae_, of which there are four or five species,
-by several not unimportant structural characters. Fossil remains of a
-true ibis, _I. pagana_, have been found in considerable numbers in the
-middle Tertiary beds of France.[6] (A. N.)

-IBN 'ABD RABBIHI [Abu 'Umar Ahmad ibn Mahommed ibn 'Abd Rabbihi]
-(860-940), Arabian poet, was born in Cordova and descended from a freed
-slave of Hisham, the second Spanish Omayyad caliph. He enjoyed a great
-reputation for learning and eloquence. No diwan of his is extant, but
-many selections from his poems are given in the _Yatimat ud-Dahr_, i.
-412-436 (Damascus, 1887). More widely known than his poetry is his great
-anthology, the _'Iqd ul-Farid_ ("The Precious Necklace"), a work divided
-into twenty-five sections, the thirteenth being named the middle jewel
-of the necklace, the chapters on either side of this being named after
-other jewels. It is an _adab_ book (see ARABIA: _Literature_, section
-"Belles Lettres") resembling Ibn Qutaiba's _'Uyun ul-Akhbar_, from which
-it borrows largely. It has been printed, several times in Cairo (1876,
-1886, &c.). (G. W. T.)

-IBN 'ARABI [Muhyiuddin Abu 'Abdallah ibn ul-'Arabi] (1165-1240), Moslem
-theologian and mystic, was born in Murcia and educated in Seville. When
-thirty-eight he travelled in Egypt, Arabia, Bagdad, Mosul and Asia
-Minor, after which he lived in Damascus for the rest of his life. In law
-he was a Zahirite, in theology a mystic of the extreme order, though
-professing orthodox Ash'arite theology and combating in many points the
-Indo-Persian mysticism (pantheism). He claims to have had conversations
-with all the prophets past and future, and reports conversations with
-God himself. Of his numerous works about 150 still exist. The most
-extensive is the twelve-volume _Futuhat ul-Makkiyat_ ("Meccan
-Revelations"), a general encyclopaedia of Sufic beliefs and doctrines.
-Numerous extracts from this work are contained in Sha'rani's (d. 1565)
-manual of Sufic dogma (_Yawaqit_) published several times in Cairo. A
-short account of these works is given in A. von Kremer's _Geschichte der
-herrschenden Ideen des Islams_, pp. 102-109 (Leipzig, 1868). Another
-characteristic and more accessible work of Ibn 'Arabi is the _Fusus
-ul-Hikam_, on the nature and importance of the twenty-seven chief
-prophets, written in 1230 (ed. Bulaq, 1837) and with the _Commentary_
-(Cairo, 1891) of Qashani (d. 1350); cf. analysis by M. Schreiner in

-IBN ATHIR, the family name of three brothers, all famous in Arabian
-literature, born at Jazirat ibn 'Umar in Kurdistan. The eldest brother,
-known as MAJD UD-DIN (1149-1210), was long in the service of the amir of
-Mosul, and was an earnest student of tradition and language. His
-dictionary of traditions (_Kitab un-Nihaya_) was published at Cairo
-(1893), and his dictionary of family names (_Kitab ul-Murassa'_) has
-been edited by Seybold (Weimar, 1896). The youngest brother, known as
-DIYA UD-DIN (1163-1239), served Saladin from 1191 on, then his son,
-al-Malik ul-Afdal, and was afterwards in Egypt, Samosata, Aleppo, Mosul
-and Bagdad. He was one of the most famous aesthetic and stylistic
-critics in Arabian literature. His _Kitab ul-Mathal_, published in Bulaq
-in 1865 (cf. _Journal of the German Oriental Society_, xxxv. 148, and
-Goldziher's _Abhandlungen_, i. 161 sqq.), contains some very
-independent criticism of ancient and modern Arabic verse. Some of his
-letters have been published by D. S. Margoliouth "On the Royal
-Correspondence of Diya ed-Din el-Jazari" in the _Actes du dixieme
-congres international des orientalistes_, sect. 3, pp. 7-21.
-
-The brother best known by the simple name of Ibn Athir was ABU-L-HASAN
-'IZZUDDIN MAHOMMED IBN UL-ATHIR (1160-1234), who devoted himself to the
-study of history and tradition. At the age of twenty-one he settled with
-his father in Mosul and continued his studies there. In the service of
-the amir for many years, he visited Bagdad and Jerusalem and later
-Aleppo and Damascus. He died in Mosul. His great history, the _Kamil_,
-extends to the year 1231; it has been edited by C. J. Tornberg, _Ibn
-al-Athiri Chronicon quod perfectissimum inscribitur_ (14 vols., Leiden,
-1851-1876), and has been published in 12 vols. in Cairo (1873 and 1886).
-The first part of this work up to A.H. 310 (A.D. 923) is an abbreviation
-of the work of Tabari (q.v.) with additions. Ibn Athir also wrote a
-history of the Atabegs of Mosul, published in the _Recueil des
-historiens des croisades_ (vol. ii., Paris); a work (_Usd ul-Ghaba_),
-giving an account of 7500 companions of Mahomet (5 vols., Cairo, 1863),
-and a compendium (the _Lubab_) of Sam'ani's _Kitab ul-Ansab_ (cf. F.
-Wustenfeld's _Specimen el-Lobabi_, Gottingen, 1835). (G. W. T.)

-IBN BATUTA, i.e. ABU ABDULLAH MAHOMMED, surnamed IBN BATUTA (1304-1378),
-the greatest of Moslem travellers, was born at Tangier in 1304. He
-entered on his travels at twenty-one (1325) and closed them in 1355. He
-began by traversing the coast of the Mediterranean from Tangier to
-Alexandria, finding time to marry two wives on the road. After some stay
-at Cairo, then probably the greatest city in the world (excluding
-China), and an unsuccessful attempt to reach Mecca from Aidhab on the
-west coast of the Red Sea, he visited Palestine, Aleppo and Damascus. He
-then made the pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, and visited the shrine of
-Ali at Mashhad-Ali, travelling thence to Basra, and across the mountains
-of Khuzistan to Isfahan, thence to Shiraz and back to Kufa and Bagdad.
-After an excursion to Mosul and Diarbekr, he made the _haj_ a second
-time, staying at Mecca three years. He next sailed down the Red Sea to
-Aden (then a place of great trade), the singular position of which he
-describes, noticing its dependence for water-supply upon the great
-cisterns restored in modern times. He continued his voyage down the
-African coast, visiting, among other places, Mombasa and Quiloa (Kilwa).
-Returning north he passed by the chief cities of Oman to New Ormuz
-(Hurmuz), which had about 15 years before, c. 1315, been transferred to
-its famous island-site from the mainland (Old Ormuz). After visiting
-other parts of the gulf he crossed the breadth of Arabia to Mecca,
-making the _haj_ for the third time. Crossing the Red Sea, he made a
-journey of great hardship to Syene, and thence along the Nile to Cairo.
-After this, travelling through Syria, he made a circuit among the petty
-Turkish states into which Asia Minor was divided after the fall of the
-kingdom of Rum (Iconium). He now crossed the Black Sea to Kaffa, then
-mainly occupied by the Genoese, and apparently the first Christian city
-he had seen, for he was much perturbed by the bell-ringing. He next
-travelled into Kipchak (the Mongol khanate of Russia), and joined the
-camp of the reigning khan Mahommed Uzbeg, from whom the great and
-heterogeneous _Uzbeg_ race is perhaps named. Among other places in this
-empire he travelled to Bolghar (54 deg. 54' N.) in order to witness the
-shortness of the summer night, and desired to continue his travels north
-into the "Land of Darkness" (in the extreme north of Russia), of which
-wonderful things were told, but was obliged to forego this. Returning to
-the khan's camp he joined the cortege of one of the Khatuns, who was a
-Greek princess by birth (probably illegitimate) and in her train
-travelled to Constantinople, where he had an interview with the emperor
-Andronikos III. the Younger (1328-1341). He tells how, as he passed the
-city gates, he heard the guards muttering _Sarakinu_. Returning to the
-court of Uzbeg, at Sarai on the Volga, he crossed the steppes to
-Khwarizm and Bokhara; thence through Khorasan and Kabul, and over the
-Hindu Kush (to which he gives that name, its first occurrence). He
-reached the Indus, on his own statement, in September, 1333. This
-closes the first part of his narrative.
-
-From Sind, which he traversed to the sea and back again, he proceeded to
-Multan, and eventually, on the invitation of Mahommed Tughlak, the
-reigning sovereign, to Delhi. Mahommed was a singular character, full of
-pretence at least to many accomplishments and virtues, the founder of
-public charities, and a profuse patron of scholars, but a parricide, a
-fratricide, and as madly capricious, bloodthirsty and unjust as
-Caligula. "No day did his palace gate fail to witness the elevation of
-some abject to affluence and the torture and murder of some living
-soul." He appointed the traveller to be kazi of Delhi, with a present of
-12,000 silver dinars (rupees), and an annual salary of the same amount,
-besides an assignment of village lands. In the sultan's service Ibn
-Batuta remained eight years; but his good fortune stimulated his natural
-extravagance, and his debts soon amounted to four or five times his
-salary. At last he fell into disfavour and retired from court, only to
-be summoned again on a congenial duty. The emperor of China, last of the
-Mongol dynasty, had sent a mission to Delhi, and the Moor was to
-accompany the return embassy (1342). The party travelled through central
-India to Cambay and thence sailed to Calicut, classed by the traveller
-with the neighbouring Kaulam (Quilon), Alexandria, Sudak in the Crimea,
-and Zayton (Amoy harbour) in China, as one of the greatest trading
-havens in the world--an interesting enumeration from one who had seen
-them all. The mission party was to embark in Chinese junks (the word
-used) and smaller vessels, but that carrying the other envoys and the
-presents, which started before Ibn Batuta was ready, was wrecked
-totally; the vessel that he had engaged went off with his property, and
-he was left on the beach of Calicut. Not daring to return to Delhi, he
-remained about Honore and other cities of the western coast, taking part
-in various adventures, among others the capture of Sindabur (Goa), and
-visiting the Maldive Islands, where he became kazi, and married four
-wives, and of which he has left the best medieval account, hardly
-surpassed by any modern. In August 1344 he left the Maldives for Ceylon;
-here he made the pilgrimage to the "Footmark of our Father Adam." Thence
-he betook himself to Maabar (the Coromandel coast), where he joined a
-Mussulman adventurer, residing at Madura, who had made himself master of
-much of that region. After once more visiting Malabar, Canara and the
-Maldives, he departed for Bengal, a voyage of forty-three days, landing
-at Sadkawan (Chittagong). In Bengal he visited the famous Moslem saint
-Shaykh Jalaluddin, whose shrine (_Shah Jalal_ at Silhet) is still
-maintained. Returning to the delta, he took ship at Sunarganw (near
-Dacca) on a junk bound for Java (i.e. _Java Minor_ of Marco Polo, or
-Sumatra). Touching the coast of Arakan or Burma, he reached Sumatra in
-forty days, and was provided with a junk for China by Malik al Dhahir, a
-zealous disciple of Islam, which had recently spread among the states on
-the northern coast of that island. Calling (apparently) at Cambodia on
-his way, Ibn Batuta reached China at Zayton (Amoy harbour), famous from
-Marco Polo; he also visited Sin Kalan or Canton, and professes to have
-been in Khansa (_Kinsay_ of Marco Polo, i.e. Hangchau), and Khanbalik
-(_Cambaluc_ or Peking). The truth of his visit to these two cities, and
-especially to the last, has been questioned. The traveller's history,
-not least in China, singularly illustrates the free masonry of Islam,
-and its power of carrying a Moslem doctor over the known world of Asia
-and Africa. On his way home he saw the great bird _Rukh_ (evidently,
-from his description, an island lifted by refraction); revisited
-Sumatra, Malabar, Oman, Persia, Bagdad, and crossed the great desert to
-Palmyra and Damascus, where he got his first news of home, and heard of
-his father's death fifteen years before. Diverging to Hamath and Aleppo,
-on his return to Damascus, he found the Black Death raging, so that two
-thousand four hundred died in one day. Revisiting Jerusalem and Cairo he
-made the _haj_ a fourth time, and finally reappeared at Fez (visiting
-Sardinia _en route_) on the 8th of November 1349, after twenty-four
-years' absence. Morocco, he felt, was, after all, the best of countries.
-"The _dirhems_ of the West are but little; but then you get more for
-them." After going home to Tangier, Ibn Batuta crossed into Spain and
-made the round of Andalusia, including Gibraltar, which had just then
-stood a siege from the "Roman tyrant Adfunus" (Alphonso XI. of Castile,
-1312-1350). In 1352 the restless man started for Central Africa, passing
-by the oases of the Sahara (where the houses were built of rock-salt, as
-Herodotus tells, and roofed with camel skins) to Timbuktu and Gogo on
-the Niger, a river which he calls the Nile, believing it to flow down
-into Egypt, an opinion maintained by some up to the date of Lander's
-discovery. Being then recalled by his own king, he returned to Fez
-(early in 1354) via Takadda, Haggar and Tuat. Thus ended his
-twenty-eight years' wanderings which in their main lines alone exceeded
-75,000 m. By royal order he dictated his narrative to Mahommed Ibn
-Juzai, who concludes the work, 13th of December 1355 (A.D.) with the
-declaration: "This Shaykh is the traveller of our age; and he who should
-call him the traveller of the whole body of Islam would not exceed the
-truth." Ibn Batuta died in 1378, aged seventy-three.
-
- Ibn Batuta's travels have only been known in Europe during the 19th
- century; at first merely by Arabic abridgments in the Gotha and
- Cambridge libraries. Notices or extracts had been published by Seetzen
- (c. 1808), Kosegarten (1818), Apetz (1819), and Burckhardt (1819),
- when in 1829 Dr S. Lee published for the Oriental Translation Fund a
- version from the abridged MSS. at Cambridge, which attracted much
- interest. The French capture of Constantina afforded MSS. of the
- complete work, one of them the autograph of Ibn Juzai. And from these,
- after versions of fragments by various French scholars, was derived at
- last (1858-1859) the standard edition and translation of the whole by
- M. Defremery and Dr Sanguinetti, in 4 vols. See also Sir Henry Yule,
- Cathay, ii. 397-526; C. Raymond Beazley, _Dawn of Modern Geography_,
- iii. 535-538. Though there are some singular chronological
- difficulties in the narrative, and a good many cursory inaccuracies
- and exaggerations, there is no part of it except, perhaps, certain
- portions of the journeys in north China, which is open to doubt. The
- accounts of the Maldive Islands, and of the Negro countries on the
- Niger, are replete with interesting and accurate particulars. The
- former agrees surprisingly with that given by the only other foreign
- resident we know of, Pyrard de la Val, two hundred and fifty years
- later. Ibn Batuta's statements and anecdotes regarding the showy
- virtues and solid vices of Sultan Muhammad Tughlak are in entire
- agreement with Indian historians, and add many fresh details.

-IBN DURAID [Abu Bakr Mahommed ibn ul-Hasan ibn Duraid ul-Azdi]
-(837-934), Arabian poet and philologist, was born at Basra of south
-Arabian stock. At his native place he was trained under various
-teachers, but fled in 871 to Oman at the time Basra was attacked by the
-negroes, known as the Zanj, under Muhallabi. After living twelve years
-in Oman he went to Persia, and, under the protection of the governor,
-'Abdallah ibn Mahommed ibn Mikal, and his son, Isma'il, wrote his chief
-works. In 920 he went to Bagdad, where he received a pension from the
-caliph Moqtadir.
-
- The _Maqsura_, a poem in praise of Ibn Mikal and his son, has been
- edited by A. Haitsma (1773) E. Scheidius (1786) and N. Boyesen (1828).
- Various commentaries on the poem exist in MS. (cf. C. Brockelmann,
- _Gesch. der ar. Lit._, i. 211 ff., Weimar, 1898), The _Jamhara
- fi-l-Lugha_ is a large dictionary written in Persian but not printed.
- Another work is the _Kitab ul-Ishtiqaq_ ("Book of Etymology"), edited
- by F. Wustenfeld (Gottingen, 1854); it was written in opposition to
- the anti-Arabian party to show the etymological connexion of the
- Arabian tribal names. (G. W. T.)

-IBN FARADI [Abu-l-Walid 'Abdallah ibn ul-Faradi] (962-1012), Arabian

-made the pilgrimage and proceeded to Egypt and Kairawan, studying in
-these places. After his return in 1009 he became cadi in Valencia, and
-was killed at Cordova when the Berbers took the city.
-
- His chief work is the _History of the Learned Men of Andalusia_,

-IBN FARID [Abu-l-Qasim 'Umar ibn ul-Farid] (1181-1235), Arabian poet,
-was born in Cairo, lived for some time in Mecca and died in Cairo. His
-poetry is entirely Sufic, and he was esteemed the greatest mystic poet
-of the Arabs. Some of his poems are said to have been written in
-ecstasies. His diwan has been published with commentary at Beirut, 1887,
-&c.; with the commentaries of Burini (d. 1615) and 'Abdul-Ghani (d.
-1730) at Marseilles, 1853, and at Cairo; and with the commentary of

-IBN GABIROL [SOLOMON BEN JUDAH], Jewish poet and philosopher, was born
-at Malaga, probably about 1021. The early part of his troublous life was
-spent at Saragossa, but few personal details of it are recorded. His
-parents died while he was a child and he was under the protection first
-of a certain Jekuthiel, who died in 1039, and afterwards of Samuel
-ha-Nagid, the well-known patron of learning. His passionate disposition,
-however, embittered no doubt by his misfortunes, involved him in
-frequent difficulties and led to his quarrelling with Samuel. It is
-generally agreed that he died young, although the date is uncertain. Al
-Harizi[1] says at the age of twenty-nine, and Moses b. Ezra[2] about
-thirty, but Abraham Zaccuto[3] states that he died (at Valencia) in
-1070. M. Steinschneider[4] accepts the date 1058.
-
-His literary activity began early. He is said to have composed poems at
-the age of sixteen, and elegies by him are extant on Hai Gaon (died in
-1038) and Jekuthiel (died in 1039), each of which was written probably
-soon after the death of the person commemorated. About the same time he
-also wrote his _'Anaq_, a poem on grammar, of which only 97 lines out of
-400 are preserved. Moses ben Ezra says of him that he imitated Moslem
-models, and was the first to open to Jewish poets the door of
-versification,[5] meaning that he first popularized the use of Arabic
-metres in Hebrew. It is as a poet that he has been known to the Jews to
-the present day, and admired for the youthful freshness and beauty of
-his work, in which he may be compared to the romantic school in France
-and England in the early 19th century. Besides his lyrical and satirical
-poems, he contributed many of the finest compositions to the liturgy
-(some of them with the acrostic "Shelomoh ha-qato"), which are widely
-different from the artificial manner of the earlier payyetanim. The best
-known of his longer liturgical compositions are the philosophical
-_Kether Malkuth_ (for the Day of Atonement) and the _Azharoth_, on the
-613 precepts (for _Shebhu'oth_). Owing to his pure biblical style he had
-an abiding influence on subsequent liturgical writers.
-
-Outside the Jewish community he was known as the philosopher Avicebron
-(Avencebrol, Avicebrol, &c.) The credit of identifying this name as a
-medieval corruption of Ibn Gabirol is due to S. Munk, who showed that
-selections made by Shem Tobh Palqera (or Falqera) from the Meqor Hayyim
-(the Hebrew translation of an Arabic original) by Ibn Gabirol,
-corresponded to the Latin _Fons Vitae_ of Avicebron. The Latin version,
-made by Johannes Hispalensis and Gundisalvi about one hundred years
-after the author's death, had at once become known among the Schoolmen
-of the 12th century and exerted a powerful influence upon them, although
-so little was known of the author that it was doubted whether he was a
-Christian or a Moslem. The teaching of the _Fons Vitae_ was entirely new
-to the country of its origin, and being drawn largely from Neoplatonic
-sources could not be expected to find favour with Jewish thinkers. Its
-distinctive doctrines are: (1) that all created beings, spiritual or
-corporeal, are composed of matter and form, the various species of
-matter being but varieties of the universal matter, and similarly all
-forms being contained in one universal form; (2) that between the primal
-One and the intellect (the [Greek: nous] of Plotinus) there is
-interposed the divine Will, which is itself divine and above the
-distinction of form and matter, but is the cause of their union in the
-being next to itself, the intellect, in which Avicebron holds that the
-distinction does exist. The doctrine that there is a material, as well
-as a formal, element in all created beings was explicitly adopted from
-Avicebron by Duns Scotus (as against the view of Albertus Magnus and
-Thomas Aquinas), and perhaps his exaltation of the will above the
-intellect is due to the same influence. Avicebron develops his
-philosophical system throughout quite independently of his religious
-views--a practice wholly foreign to Jewish teachers, and one which could
-not be acceptable to them. Indeed, this charge is expressly brought
-against him by Abraham ben David of Toledo (died in 1180). It is
-doubtless this non-religious attitude which accounts for the small
-attention paid to the _Fons Vitae_ by the Jews, as compared with the
-wide influence of the philosophy of Maimonides.
-
-The other important work of Ibn Gabirol is _Islah al-akhlaq_ (the
-improvement of character), a popular work in Arabic, translated into
-Hebrew (_Tiqqun middoth ha-nephesh_) by Judah ibn Tibbon. It is widely
-different in treatment from the _Fons_, being intended as a practical
-not a speculative work.
-
-The collection of moral maxims, compiled in Arabic but best known (in
-the Hebrew translation of Judah ibn Tibbon) as _Mibhar ha-peninim_, is
-generally ascribed to Ibn Gabirol, though on less certain grounds.

-IBN HAUKAL, strictly IBN HAUQAL, a 10th century Arabian geographer.
-Nothing is known of his life. His work on geography, written in 977, is
-only a revision and extension of the _Masalik ul-Mamalik_ of
-al-Istakhri, who wrote in 951. This itself was a revised edition of the

-IBN HAZM [Abu Mahommed 'Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Hazm] (994-1064), Moslem
-theologian, was born in a suburb of Cordova. He studied history, law and
-theology, and became a vizier as his father had been before him, but was
-deposed for heresy, and spent the rest of his life quietly in the
-country. In legal matters he belonged first to the Shafi'ite school, but
-came to adopt the views of the Zahirites, who admitted only the external
-sense of the Koran and tradition, disallowing the use of analogy
-(_Qiyas_) and _Taqlid_ (appeal to the authority of an imam), and
-objecting altogether to the use of individual opinion (_Ra'y_). Every
-sentence of the Koran was to be interpreted in a general and universal
-sense; the special application to the circumstances of the time it was
-written was denied. Every word of the Koran was to be taken in a literal
-sense, but that sense was to be learned from other uses in the Koran
-itself, not from the meaning in other literature of the time. The
-special feature of Ibn Hazm's teaching was that he extended the
-application of these principles from the study of law to that of
-dogmatic theology. He thus found himself in opposition at one time to
-the Mo'tazilites, at another to the Ash'arites. He did not, however,
-succeed in forming a school. His chief work is the _Kitab ul-Milal
-wan-Nihal_, or "Book of Sects" (published in Cairo, 1899).
-
- For his teaching cf. I. Goldziher, _Die Zahiriten_, pp. 116-172

- Oriental Society_, lii. 464-486. For a list of his other works see C.

-IBN HISHAM [Abu Mahommed 'Abdulmalik ibn Hisham ibn Ayyub ul-Himyari]
-(d. 834), Arabian biographer, studied in Kufa but lived afterwards in
-Fostat (old Cairo), where he gained a name as a grammarian and student
-of language and history. His chief work is his edition of Ibn Ishaq's
-(q.v.) _Life of the Apostle of God_, which has been edited by F.
-Wustenfeld (Gottingen, 1858-1860). An abridged German translation has
-been made by G. Weil (Stuttgart, 1864; cf. P. Bronnle, _Die
-Commentatoren des Ibn Ishaq und ihre Scholien_, Halle, 1895). Ibn Hisham
-is said to have written a work explaining the difficult words which
-occur in poems on the life of the Apostle, and another on the
-genealogies of the Himyarites and their princes. (G. W. T.)
-
-
-
-
-IBN ISHAQ [Mahommed ibn Ishaq Abu 'Abdallah] (d. 768), Arabic historian,
-lived in Medina, where he interested himself to such an extent in the
-details of the Prophet's life that he was attacked by those to whom his
-work seemed to have a rationalistic tendency. He consequently left
-Medina in 733, and went to Alexandria, then to Kufa and Hira, and
-finally to Bagdad, where the caliph Mansur provided him with the means
-of writing his great work. This was the _Life of the Apostle of God_,
-which is now lost and is known to us only in the recension of Ibn Hisham
-(q.v.). The work has been attacked by Arabian writers (as in the
-_Fihrist_) as untrustworthy, and it seems clear that he introduced
-forged verses (cf. _Journal of the German Oriental Society_, xiv. 288
-sqq.). It remains, however, one of the most important works of the age.

-IBN JUBAIR [Abu-l Husain Mahommed ibn Ahmad ibn Jubair] (1145-1217),
-Arabian geographer, was born in Valencia. At Granada he studied the
-Koran, tradition, law and literature, and later became secretary to the
-Mohad governor of that city. During this time he composed many poems. In
-1183 he left the court and travelled to Alexandria, Jerusalem, Medina,
-Mecca, Damascus, Mosul and Bagdad, returning in 1185 by way of Sicily.
-
- The _Travels of Ibn Jubair_ were edited by W. Wright (Leiden, 1852);
- and a new edition of this text, revised by M. J. de Goeje, was
- published by the Gibb Trustees (London, 1907). The part relating to
- Sicily was published, with French translation and notes, by M. Amari
- in the _Journal asiatique_ (1845-1846) and a French translation alone
- of the same part by G. Crolla in _Museon_, vi. 123-132. (G. W. T.)

-IBN KHALDUN [Abu Zaid ibn Mahommed ibn Mahommed ibn Khaldun]
-(1332-1406), Arabic historian, was born at Tunis. He studied the various
-branches of Arabic learning with great success. In 1352 he obtained
-employment under the Marinid sultan Abu Inan (Faris I.) at Fez. In the
-beginning of 1356, his integrity having been suspected, he was thrown
-into prison until the death of Abu Inan in 1358, when the vizier
-al-Hasan ibn Omar set him at liberty and reinstated him in his rank and
-offices. He here continued to render great service to Abu Salem (Ibrahim
-III.), Abu Inan's successor, but, having offended the prime minister, he
-obtained permission to emigrate to Spain, where, at Granada, he was
-received with great cordiality by Ibn al Ahmar, who had been greatly
-indebted to his good offices when an exile at the court of Abu Salem.
-The favours he received from the sovereign excited the jealousy of the
-vizier, and he was driven back to Africa (1364), where he was received
-with great cordiality by the sultan of Bougie, Abu Abdallah, who had
-been formerly his companion in prison. On the fall of Abu Abdallah Ibn
-Khaldun raised a large force amongst the desert Arabs, and entered the
-service of the sultan of Tlemcen. A few years later he was taken
-prisoner by Abdalaziz ('Abd ul 'Aziz), who had defeated the sultan of
-Tlemcen and seized the throne. He then entered a monastic establishment,
-and occupied himself with scholastic duties, until in 1370 he was sent
-for to Tlemcen by the new sultan. After the death of 'Abd ul 'Aziz he
-resided at Fez, enjoying the patronage and confidence of the regent.
-After some further vicissitudes in 1378 he entered the service of the
-sultan of his native town of Tunis, where he devoted himself almost
-exclusively to his studies and wrote his history of the Berbers. Having
-received permission to make the pilgrimage to Mecca, he reached Cairo,
-where he was presented to the sultan, al-Malik udh-Dhahir Barkuk, who
-insisted on his remaining there, and in the year 1384 made him grand
-cadi of the Malikite rite for Cairo. This office he filled with great
-prudence and probity, removing many abuses in the administration of
-justice in Egypt. At this time the ship in which his wife and family,
-with all his property, were coming to join him, was wrecked, and every
-one on board lost. He endeavoured to find consolation in the completion
-of his history of the Arabs of Spain. At the same time he was removed
-from his office of cadi, which gave him more leisure for his work. Three
-years later he made the pilgrimage to Mecca, and on his return lived in
-retirement in the Fayum until 1399, when he was again called upon to
-resume his functions as cadi. He was removed and reinstated in the
-office no fewer than five times.
-
-In 1400 he was sent to Damascus, in connexion with the expedition
-intended to oppose Timur or Tamerlane. When Timur had become master of
-the situation, Ibn Khaldun let himself down from the walls of the city
-by a rope, and presented himself before the conqueror, who permitted him
-to return to Egypt. Ibn Khaldun died on the 16th of March 1406, at the
-age of sixty-four.
-
- The great work by which he is known is a "Universal History," but it
- deals more particularly with the history of the Arabs of Spain and
- Africa. Its Arabic title is _Kitab ul'Ibar, wa diwan el Mubtada wa'l
- Khabar, fi ayyam ul 'Arab wa'l'Ajam wa'l Berber_; that is, "The Book
- of Examples and the Collection of Origins and Information respecting
- the History of the Arabs, Foreigners and Berbers." It consists of
- three books, an introduction and an autobiography. Book i. treats of
- the influence of civilization upon man; book ii. of the history of the
- Arabs and other peoples from the remotest antiquity until the author's
- own times; book iii. of the history of the Berber tribes and of the
- kingdoms founded by that race in North Africa. The introduction is an
- elaborate treatise on the science of history and the development of
- society, and the autobiography contains the history, not only of the
- author himself, but of his family and of the dynasties which ruled in
- Fez, Tunis and Tlemcen during his lifetime. An edition of the Arabic
- text has been printed at Bulaq, (7 vols., 1867) and a part of the work
- has been translated by the late Baron McG. de Slane under the title of
- _Histoire des Berberes_ (Algiers, 1852-1856); it contains an admirable
- account of the author and analysis of his work. Vol. i., the
- _Muqaddama_ (preface), was published by M. Quatremere (3 vols., Paris,
- 1858), often republished in the East, and a French translation was
- made by McG. de Slane (3 vols., Paris, 1862-1868). The parts of the
- history referring to the expeditions of the Franks into Moslem lands
- were edited by C. J. Tornberg (Upsala, 1840), and the parts treating
- of the Banu-l Ahmar kings of Granada were translated into French by M.
- Gaudefroy-Demombynes in the _Journal asiatique_, ser. 9, vol. xiii.
- The _Autobiography_ of Ibn Khaldun was translated into French by de
- Slane in the _Journal asiatique_, ser. 4, vol. iii. For an English
- appreciation of the philosophical spirit of Ibn Khaldun see R. Flint's
- _History of the Philosophy of History_ (Edinburgh, 1893), pp. 157-170.

-IBN KHALLIKAN [Abu-l 'Abbas Ahmad ibn Khallikan] (1211-1282), Arabian
-biographer, was born at Arbela, the son of a professor reputed to be
-ascended from the Barmecides of the court of Harun al-Rashid. When
-eighteen he went to Aleppo, where he studied for six years, then to
-Damascus, and in 1238 to Alexandria and Cairo. In 1252 he married and
-became chief cadi of Syria in Damascus in 1261. Having held this office
-for ten years, he was professor in Cairo until 1278, when he again took
-office in Damascus for three years. In 1281 he accepted a professorship
-in the same city, but died in the following year.
-
- His great work is the _Kitab Wafayat ul-A'yan_, "The Obituaries of
- Eminent Men." It contains in alphabetical order the lives of the most
- celebrated persons of Moslem history and literature, except those of
- Mahomet, the four caliphs and the companions of Mahomet and their
- followers (the _Tabiun_). The work is anecdotal and contains many
- brief extracts from the poetry of the writers. It was published by F.
- Wustenfeld (Gottingen, 1835-1843), in part by McG. de Slane (Paris,
- 1838-1842), and also in Cairo (1859 and 1882). An English translation
- by McG. de Slane was published for the Oriental Translation Fund in 4
- vols. (London, 1842-1871). Thirteen extra biographies from a
- manuscript in Amsterdam were published by Pijnappel (Amsterdam, 1845).
- A Persian translation exists in manuscript, and various extracts from
- the work are known. Several supplements to the book have been written,
- the best known being that of Mahommed ibn Shakir (d. 1362), published
- at Cairo 1882. A collection of poems by Ibn Khallikan is also extant.

-IBN QUTAIBA, or KOTAIBA [Abu Mahommed ibn Muslim ibn Qutaiba] (828-889),
-Arabian writer, was born at Bagdad or Kufa, and was of Iranian descent,
-his father belonging to Merv. Having studied tradition and philology he
-became cadi in Dinawar and afterwards teacher in Bagdad, where he died.
-He was the first representative of the eclectic school of Bagdad
-philologists that succeeded the schools of Kufa and Basra (see ARABIA:
-_Literature_, section "Grammar"). Although engaged also in theological
-polemic (cf. I. Goldziher, _Muhammedanische Studien_, ii. 136, Halle,
-1890), his chief works were directed to the training of the ideal
-secretary. Of these five may be said to form a series. The _Adab
-ul-Katib_ ("Training of the Secretary") contains instruction in writing
-and is a compendium of Arabic style. It has been edited by Max Grunert
-(Leiden, 1900). The _Kitab ush-Sharab_ is still in manuscript. The
-_Kitab ul-Ma'arif_ has been edited by F. Wustenfeld as the _Handbuch der
-Geschichte_[1] (Gottingen, 1850); the _Kitab ush-Shi'r wash-Shu'arai_
-("Book of Poetry and Poets") edited by M. J. de Goeje (Leiden, 1904).[2]
-The fifth and most important is the _'Uyun ul-Akhbar_, which deals in
-ten books with lordship, war, nobility, character, science and
-eloquence, asceticism, friendship, requests, foods and women, with many
-illustrations from history, poetry and proverb (ed. C. Brockelmann,
-Leiden, 1900 sqq.).

-IBN TIBBON, a family of Jewish translators, who flourished in Provence
-in the 12th and 13th centuries. They all made original contributions to
-philosophical and scientific literature, but their permanent fame is
-based on their translations. Between them they rendered into Hebrew all
-the chief Jewish writings of the middle ages. These Hebrew translations
-were, in their turn, rendered into Latin (by Buxtorf and others) and in
-this form the works of Jewish authors found their way into the learned
-circles of Europe. The chief members of the Ibn Tibbon family were (1)
-JUDAH BEN SAUL (1120-1190), who was born in Spain but settled in Lunel.
-He translated the works of Bahya, Halevi, Saadiah and the grammatical
-treatises of Janah. (2) His son, SAMUEL (1150-1230), translated the
-_Guide of the Perplexed_ by Maimonides. He justly termed his father "the
-father of the Translators," but Samuel's own method surpassed his
-father's in lucidity and fidelity to the original. (3) Son of Samuel,
-MOSES (died 1283). He translated into Hebrew a large number of Arabic
-books (including the Arabic form of Euclid). The Ibn Tibbon family thus
-rendered conspicuous services to European culture, and did much to
-further among Jews who did not understand Arabic the study of science
-and philosophy. (I. A.)

-IBN TUFAIL, or TOFAIL [Abu Bakr Mahommed ibn 'Abd-ul-Malik ibn Tufail
-ul-Qaisi] (d. 1185), Moslem philosopher, was born at Guadix near
-Granada. There he received a good training in philosophy and medicine,
-and is said to have been a pupil of Avempace (q.v.). He became secretary
-to the governor of Granada, and later physician and vizier to the Mohad
-caliph, Abu Ya'qub Yusuf. He died at Morocco.
-
- His chief work is a philosophical romance, in which he describes the
- awakening and growth of intellect in a child removed from the
- influences of ordinary life. Its Arabic title is _Risalat Hayy ibn
- Yaqzan_; it was edited by E. Pococke as _Philosophus autodidactus_
- (Oxford, 1671; 2nd ed., 1700), and with a French translation by L.
- Gauthier (Algiers, 1900). An English translation by S. Ockley was
- published in 1708 and has been reprinted since. A Spanish translation
- by F. Pons Boigues was published at Saragossa (1900). Another work of
- Ibn Tufail, the _Kitab Asrar ul-Hikma ul-mashraqiyya_ ("Secrets of
- Eastern Science"), was published at Bulaq (1882); cf. S. Munk,
- _Melanges_ (1859), pp. 410 sqq., and T. J. de Boer, _Geschichte der

-was appointed by Saladin physician to a new hospital in Cairo, but
-surrendered the appointment the following year to take up a post given
-him by the amir of Damascus in Salkhad near that city. There he lived
-and died. He wrote '_Uyun ul-Anba'fi Tabaqat ul-Atibba_' or "Lives of
-the Physicians," which in its first edition (1245-1246) was dedicated to

-IBRAHIM AL-MAUSILI (742-804), Arabian singer, was born of Persian
-parents settled in Kufa. In his early years his parents died and he was
-trained by an uncle. Singing, not study, attracted him, and at the age
-of twenty-three he fled to Mosul, where he joined a band of wild youths.
-After a year he went to Rai (Rei, Rhagae), where he met an ambassador of
-the caliph Mansur, who enabled him to come to Basra and take singing
-lessons. His fame as a singer spread, and the caliph Mahdi brought him
-to the court. There he remained a favourite under Hadi, while Harun
-al-Rashid kept him always with him until his death, when he ordered his
-son (Ma'mun) to say the prayer over his corpse. Ibrahim, as might be
-expected, was no strict Moslem. Two or three times he was knouted and
-imprisoned for excess in wine-drinking, but was always taken into favour
-again. His powers of song were far beyond anything else known at the
-time. Two of his pupils, his son Ishaq and Muhariq, attained celebrity
-after him.

-IBRAHIM PASHA (1789-1848), Egyptian general, is sometimes spoken of as
-the adopted son of Mehemet Ali, pasha of Egypt. He is also and more
-commonly called his son. He was born in his father's native town, Kavala
-in Thrace. During his father's struggle to establish himself in Egypt,
-Ibrahim, then sixteen years of age, was sent as a hostage to the Ottoman
-capitan pasha (admiral), but when Mehemet Ali was recognized as pasha,
-and had defeated the English expedition under General A. M. Fraser, he
-was allowed to return to Egypt. When Mehemet Ali went to Arabia to
-prosecute the war against the Wahhabis in 1813, Ibrahim was left in
-command in Upper Egypt. He continued the war with the broken power of
-the Mamelukes, whom he suppressed. In 1816 he succeeded his brother
-Tusun in command of the Egyptian forces in Arabia. Mehemet Ali had
-already begun to introduce European discipline into his army, and
-Ibrahim had probably received some training, but his first campaign was
-conducted more in the old Asiatic style than his later operations. The
-campaign lasted two years, and terminated in the destruction of the
-Wahhabis as a political power. Ibrahim landed at Yembo, the port of
-Medina, on the 30th of September 1816. The holy cities had been
-recovered from the Wahhabis, and Ibrahim's task was to follow them into
-the desert of Nejd and destroy their fortresses. Such training as the
-Egyptian troops had received, and their artillery, gave them a marked
-superiority in the open field. But the difficulty of crossing the desert
-to the Wahhabi stronghold of Deraiya, some 400 m. east of Medina, and
-the courage of their opponents, made the conquest a very arduous one.
-Ibrahim displayed great energy and tenacity, sharing all the hardships
-of his army, and never allowing himself to be discouraged by failure. By
-the end of September 1818 he had forced the Wahhabi leader to surrender,
-and had taken Deraiya, which he ruined. On the 11th of December 1819 he
-made a triumphal entry into Cairo. After his return he gave effective
-support to the Frenchman, Colonel Seve (Suleiman Pasha), who was
-employed to drill the army on the European model. Ibrahim set an example
-by submitting to be drilled as a recruit. When in 1824 Mehemet Ali was
-appointed governor of the Morea by the sultan, who desired his help
-against the insurgent Greeks, he sent Ibrahim with a squadron and an
-army of 17,000 men. The expedition sailed on the 10th of July 1824, but
-was for some months unable to do more than come and go between Rhodes
-and Crete. The fear of the Greek fire ships stopped his way to the
-Morea. When the Greek sailors mutinied from want of pay, he was able to
-land at Modon on the 26th of February 1825. He remained in the Morea
-till the capitulation of the 1st of October 1828 was forced on him by
-the intervention of the Western powers. Ibrahim's operations in the
-Morea were energetic and ferocious. He easily defeated the Greeks in the
-open field, and though the siege of Missolonghi proved costly to his own
-troops and to the Turks who operated with him, he brought it to a
-successful termination on the 24th of April 1826. The Greek guerrilla
-bands harassed his army, and in revenge he desolated the country and
-sent thousands of the inhabitants into slavery in Egypt. These measures
-of repression aroused great indignation in Europe, and led first to the
-intervention of the English, French and Russian squadrons (see NAVARINO,
-BATTLE OF), and then to the landing of a French expeditionary force. By
-the terms of the capitulation of the 1st of October 1828, Ibrahim
-evacuated the country. It is fairly certain that the Turkish government,
-jealous of his power, had laid a plot to prevent him and his troops from
-returning to Egypt. English officers who saw him at Navarino describe
-him as short, grossly fat and deeply marked with smallpox. His obesity
-did not cause any abatement of activity when next he took the field. In
-1831, his father's quarrel with the Porte having become flagrant,
-Ibrahim was sent to conquer Syria. He carried out his task with truly
-remarkable energy. He took Acre after a severe siege on the 27th of May
-1832, occupied Damascus, defeated a Turkish army at Homs on the 8th of
-July, defeated another Turkish army at Beilan on the 29th of July,
-invaded Asia Minor, and finally routed the grand vizier at Konia on the
-21st of December. The convention of Kutaiah on the 6th of May left Syria
-for a time in the hands of Mehemet Ali. Ibrahim was undoubtedly helped
-by Colonel Seve and the European officers in his army, but his
-intelligent docility to their advice, as well as his personal hardihood
-and energy, compare most favourably with the sloth, ignorance and
-arrogant conceit of the Turkish generals opposed to him. He is entitled
-to full credit for the diplomatic judgment and tact he showed in
-securing the support of the inhabitants, whom he protected and whose
-rivalries he utilized. After the campaign of 1832 and 1833 Ibrahim
-remained as governor in Syria. He might perhaps have administered
-successfully, but the exactions he was compelled to enforce by his
-father soon ruined the popularity of his government and provoked
-revolts. In 1838 the Porte felt strong enough to renew the struggle, and
-war broke out once more. Ibrahim won his last victory for his father at
-Nezib on the 24th of June 1839. But Great Britain and Austria intervened
-to preserve the integrity of Turkey. Their squadrons cut his
-communications by sea with Egypt, a general revolt isolated him in
-Syria, and he was finally compelled to evacuate the country in February
-1841. Ibrahim spent the rest of his life in peace, but his health was
-ruined. In 1846 he paid a visit to western Europe, where he was received
-with some respect and a great deal of curiosity. When his father became
-imbecile in 1848 he held the regency till his own death on the 10th of
-November 1848.

-IBSEN, HENRIK (1828-1906), Norwegian dramatic and lyric poet, eldest son
-of Knud Henriksen Ibsen, a merchant, and of his wife Marichen Cornelia
-Altenburg, was born at Skien on the 20th of March 1828. For five
-generations the family had consisted on the father's side of a blending
-of the Danish, German and Scottish races, with no intermixture of pure
-Norwegian. In 1836 Knud Ibsen became insolvent, and the family withdrew,
-in great poverty, to a cottage in the outskirts of the town. After brief
-schooling at Skien, Ibsen was, towards the close of 1843, apprenticed to
-an apothecary in Grimstad; here he remained through seven dreary years
-of drudgery, which set their mark upon his spirit. In 1847, in his
-nineteenth year, he began to write poetry. He made a gloomy and almost
-sinister impression upon persons who met him at this time, and one of
-his associates of those days has recorded that Ibsen "walked about
-Grimstad like a mystery sealed with seven seals." He had continued, by
-assiduous reading, his self-education, and in 1850 he contrived to come
-up as a student to Christiania. In the same year he published his first
-work, the blank-verse tragedy of _Catilina_, under the pseudonym
-Brynjolf Bjarme. A second drama, _The Viking's Barrow_, was acted (but
-not printed) a few months later; Ibsen was at this time entirely under
-the influence of the Danish poet Oehlenschlager. During the next year or
-two he made a very precarious livelihood in Christiania as a journalist,
-but in November 1851 he had the good fortune to be appointed
-"stage-poet" at the little theatre of Bergen, with a small but regular
-salary. He was practically manager at this house, and he also received a
-travelling stipend. In 1852, therefore, he went for five months to study
-the stage, to Copenhagen and to Dresden. Among many dramatic experiments
-which Ibsen made in Bergen, the most considerable and most satisfactory
-is the saga-drama of _Mistress Inger at Ostraat_, which was produced in
-1855; and printed at Christiania in 1857; here are already perceptible
-some qualities of his mature character. Much less significant, although
-at the time more successful, is _The Feast at Solhaug_, a tragedy
-produced in Bergen in 1856; here for a moment Ibsen abandoned his own
-nascent manner for an imitation of the popular romantic dramatist of
-Denmark, Henrik Hertz. It is noticeable that Ibsen, by far the most
-original of modern writers for the stage, was remarkably slow in
-discovering the true bent of his genius. His next dramatic work was the
-romantic tragedy of _Olaf Liljekrans_, performed in 1857, but unprinted
-until 1898. This was the last play Ibsen wrote in Bergen. In the summer
-of the former year his five years' appointment came to an end, and he
-returned to Christiania. Almost immediately he began the composition of
-a work which showed an extraordinary advance on all that he had written
-before, the beautiful saga-drama of _The Warriors in Helgeland_, in
-which he threw off completely the influence of the Danish romantic
-tragedians, and took his material directly from the ancient Icelandic
-sources. This play marks an epoch in the development of Norwegian
-literature. It was received by the managers, both in Christiania and
-Copenhagen, with contemptuous disapproval, and in the autumn of 1857
-Ibsen could not contrive to produce it even at the new theatre of which
-he was now the manager. _The Warriors_ was printed at Christiania in
-1858, but was not acted anywhere until 1861. During these years Ibsen
-suffered many reverses and humiliations, but he persisted in his own
-line in art. Some of his finest short poems, among others the admirable
-seafaring romance, _Terje Vigen_, belong to the year 1860. The
-annoyances which Ibsen suffered, and the retrograde and ignorant
-conditions which he felt around him in Norway, developed the ironic
-qualities in his genius, and he became an acid satirist. The brilliant
-rhymed drama, _Love's Comedy_, a masterpiece of lyric wit and incisive
-vivacity, was published in 1862. This was a protest against the
-conventionality which deadens the beauty of all the formal relations
-between men and women, and against the pettiness, the publicity, and the
-prosiness of betrothed and married life among the middle classes in
-Norway; it showed how society murders the poetry of love. For some time
-past Ibsen had been meditating another saga-drama in prose, and in 1864
-this appeared, _Kongsemnerne_ (The Pretenders). These works, however,
-now so universally admired, contained an element of strangeness which
-was not welcome when they were new. Ibsen's position in Christiania grew
-more and more disagreeable, and he had positive misfortunes which added
-to his embarrassment. In 1862 his theatre became bankrupt, and he was
-glad to accept the poorly-paid post of "aesthetic adviser" at the other
-house. An attempt to obtain a poet's pension (_digtergage_) was
-unsuccessful; the Storthing, which had just voted one to Bjornson,
-refused to do the same for Ibsen. His cup was full of disillusion and
-bitterness, and in April 1864 he started, by Berlin and Trieste,
-ultimately to settle in Rome. His anger and scorn gave point to the
-satirical arrows which he shot back to his thankless fatherland from
-Italy in the splendid poem of _Brand_, published in Copenhagen in 1866,
-a fierce attack on the Laodicean state of religious and moral sentiment
-in the Norway of that day; the central figure, the stern priest Brand,
-who attempts to live like Christ and is snubbed and hounded away by his
-latitudinarian companions, is one of the finest conceptions of a modern
-poet. Ibsen had scarcely closed _Brand_ before he started a third
-lyrico-dramatic satire. _Peer Gynt_ (1867), which remains, in a
-technical sense, the most highly finished of all his metrical works. In
-_Brand_ the hero had denounced certain weaknesses which Ibsen saw in the
-Norwegian character, but these and other faults are personified in the
-hero of _Peer Gynt_; or rather, in this figure the poet pictured, in a
-type, the Norwegian nation in all the egotism, vacillation, and
-lukewarmness which he believed to be characteristic of it. Ibsen,
-however, acted better than he preached, and he soon forgot his
-abstraction in the portrait of Peer Gynt as a human individual. In this
-magnificent work modern Norwegian literature first rises to a level with
-the finest European poetry of the century. In 1869 Ibsen wrote the
-earliest of his prose dramas, the political comedy, _The Young Men's
-League_, in which for the first time he exercised his extraordinary gift
-for perfectly natural and yet pregnant dialogue. Ibsen was in Egypt, in
-October 1869, when his comedy was put on the stage in Christiania, amid
-violent expressions of hostility; on hearing the news, he wrote his
-brilliant little poem of defiance, called _At Port Said_. By this time,
-however, he had become a successful author; _Brand_ sold largely, and
-has continued to be the most popular of Ibsen's writings. In 1866,
-moreover, the Storthing had been persuaded to vote him a "poet's
-pension," and there was now an end of Ibsen's long struggle with
-poverty. In 1868 he left Rome, and settled in Dresden until 1874, when
-he returned to Norway. But after a short visit he went back to Germany,
-and lived first at Dresden, afterwards at Munich, and did not finally
-settle in Christiania until 1891. His shorter lyrical poems were
-collected in 1871, and in that year his name and certain of his writings
-were for the first time mentioned to the English public. At this time he
-was revising his old works, which were out of print, and which he would
-not resign again to the reading world until he had subjected them to
-what in some instances (for example, _Mistress Inger at Ostraat_)
-amounted to practical recomposition. In 1873 he published a double
-drama, each part of which was of unusual bulk, the whole forming the
-tragedy of _Emperor and Galilean_; this, Ibsen's latest historical play,
-has for subject the unsuccessful struggle of Julian the Apostate to hold
-the world against the rising tide of Christianity. The work is of an
-experimental kind, and takes its place between the early poetry and the
-later prose of the author. Compared with the series of plays which Ibsen
-had already inaugurated with _The Young Men's League_, _Emperor and
-Galilean_ preserves a colour of idealism and even of mysticism which was
-for many years to be absent from Ibsen's writings, but to reappear in
-his old age with _The Master-builder_. There is some foundation for the
-charge that Ibsen has made his romantic Greek emperor needlessly
-squalid, and that he has robbed him, at last, too roughly of all that
-made him a sympathetic exponent of Hellenism. Ibsen was now greatly
-occupied by the political spectacle of Germany at war first in Denmark,
-then in France, and he believed that all things were conspiring to start
-a new epoch of individualism. He was therefore deeply disgusted by the
-Paris commune, and disappointed by the conservative reaction which
-succeeded it. This disillusion in political matters had a very direct
-influence upon Ibsen's literary work. It persuaded him that nothing
-could be expected in the way of reform from democracies, from large
-blind masses of men moved capriciously in any direction, but that the
-sole hope for the future must lie in the study of personality, in the
-development of individual character. He set himself to diagnose the
-conditions of society, which he had convinced himself lay sick unto
-death. Hitherto Ibsen had usually employed rhymed verse for his dramatic
-compositions, or, in the case of his saga-plays, a studied and
-artificial prose. Now, in spite of the surprising achievements of his
-poetry, he determined to abandon versification, and to write only in the
-language of everyday conversation. In the first drama of this his new
-period, _The Pillars of Society_ (1877), he dealt with the problem of
-hypocrisy in a small commercial centre of industry, and he drew in the
-Bernick family a marvellous picture of social egotism in a prosperous
-seaport town. There was a certain similarity between this piece and _A
-Doll's House_ (1879), although the latter was much the more successful
-in awakening curiosity. Indeed, no production of Ibsen's has been so
-widely discussed as this, which is nevertheless not the most coherently
-conceived of his plays. Here also, social hypocrisy, was the object of
-the playwright's satire, but this time mainly in relation to marriage.
-In _A Doll's House_ Ibsen first developed his views with regard to the
-individualism of woman. In his previous writings he had depicted woman
-as a devoted and willing sacrifice to man; here he begins to explain
-that she has no less a duty to herself, and must keep alive her own
-conception of honour and of responsibility. The conclusion of _A Doll's
-House_ was violently and continuously discussed through the length and
-breadth of Europe, and to the situation of Nora Helmer is probably due
-more than to anything else the long tradition that Ibsen is "immoral."
-He braved convention still more audaciously in _Ghosts_ (1881), perhaps
-the most powerful of the series of plays in which Ibsen diagnoses the
-diseases of modern society. It was received in Norway with a tumult of
-ill-will, and the author was attacked no less venomously than he had
-been twenty years before. Ibsen was astonished and indignant at the
-reception given to _Ghosts_, and at the insolent indifferentism of the
-majority to all ideas of social reform. He wrote, more as a pamphlet
-than as a play, what is yet one of the most effective of his comedies,
-_An Enemy of the People_ (1882). Dr Stockmann, the hero of that piece,
-discovers that the drainage system of the bathing-station on which the
-little town depends is faulty, and the water impure and dangerous. He
-supposes that the corporation will be grateful to have these
-deficiencies pointed out; on the contrary, they hound him out of their
-midst as an "enemy of the people." In this play occurs Ibsen's famous
-and typical saying, "a minority may be right--a majority is always
-wrong." This polemical comedy seemed at first to be somewhat weakened by
-the personal indignation which runs through it, but it has held the
-stage. Ibsen's next drama, _The Wild Duck_ (1884), was written in
-singular contrast with the zest and fire which had inspired _An Enemy of
-the People_. Here he is squalid and pessimistic to a degree elsewhere
-unparalleled in his writings; it is not quite certain that he is not
-here guilty of a touch of parody of himself. The main figure of the play
-is an unhealthy, unlucky enthusiast, who goes about making hopeless
-mischief by exposing weak places in the sordid subterfuges of others.
-This drama contains a figure, Hjalmar Ekdal, who claims the bad
-pre-eminence of being the meanest scoundrel in all drama. _The Wild
-Duck_ is the darkest, the least relieved, of Ibsen's studies of social
-life, and his object in composing it is not obvious. With _Rosmersholm_
-(1886) he rose to the height of his genius again; this is a mournful,
-but neither a pessimistic nor a cynical play. The fates which hang round
-the contrasted lives of Rosmer and Rebecca, the weak-willed scrupulous
-man and the strong-willed unshrinking woman, the old culture and the
-new, the sickly conscience and the robust one, create a splendid
-dramatic antithesis. Ibsen then began to compose a series of dramas, of
-a more and more symbolical and poetic character; the earliest of these
-was the mystical _The Lady from the Sea_ (1888). At Christmas 1890 he
-brought out _Hedda Gabler_; two years later _The Master-builder_
-(_Bygmester Solnaes_), in which many critics see the highest attainment
-of his genius; at the close of 1894 _Little Eyolf_; in 1896 _John
-Gabriel Borkman_; and in 1900 _When We Dead Awaken_. On the occasion of
-his seventieth birthday (1898) Ibsen was the recipient of the highest
-honours from his own country and of congratulations and gifts from all
-parts of the world. A colossal bronze statue of him was erected outside
-the new National Theatre, Christiania, in September 1899. In 1901 his
-health began to decline, and he was ordered by the physician to abandon
-every species of mental effort. The evil advanced, and he became
-unconscious of the passage of events. After lingering in this sad
-condition he died, without suffering, on the 23rd of May 1906, and was
-accorded a public funeral, with the highest national honours.
-
-No recent writer belonging to the smaller countries of Europe has had so
-widely spread a fame as that of Ibsen, and although the value of his
-dramatic work is still contested, it has received the compliment of
-vivacious discussion in every part of the world. There would, perhaps,
-have been less violence in this discussion if it had been perceived that
-the author does not pose as a moral teacher, but as an imaginative
-investigator. He often and with much heat insisted that he was not
-called upon as a poet to suggest a remedy for the diseases of society,
-but to diagnose them. In this he was diametrically opposed to Tolstoi,
-who admitted that he wrote his books for the healing of the nations. If
-the subjects which Ibsen treats, or some of them, are open to
-controversy, we are at least on firm ground in doing homage to the
-splendour of his art as a playwright. He reintroduced into modern
-dramatic literature something of the velocity and inevitability of Greek
-tragic intrigue. It is very rarely that any technical fault can be found
-with the architecture of his plots, and his dialogue is the most
-lifelike that the modern stage has seen. His long apprenticeship to the
-theatre was of immense service to him in this respect. In every country,
-though least perhaps in England, the influence of Ibsen has been marked
-in the theatrical productions of the younger school. Even in England, on
-the rare occasions when his dramas are acted, they awaken great interest
-among intelligent playgoers.
-
- The editions of Ibsen's works are numerous, but the final text is
- included in the _Samlede Vaerker_, with a bibliography by J. B.
- Halvorsen, published in Copenhagen, in 10 vols. (1898-1902). They have
- been translated into the principal European languages, and into
- Japanese. The study of Ibsen in English was begun by Mr Gosse in 1872,
- and continued by Mr William Archer, whose version of Ibsen's prose
- dramas appeared in 5 vols. (1890, 1891; new and revised edition,
- 1906). Other translators have been Mr C. Herford, Mr R. A.
- Streatfield, Miss Frances Lord and Mr Adie. His _Correspondence_ was
- edited, in 2 vols., under the supervision of his son, Sigurd Ibsen, in
- 1904 (Eng. trans., 1905). Critical studies on the writings and
- position of Ibsen are innumerable, and only those which were
- influential in guiding opinion, during the early part of his career,
- in the various countries, can be mentioned here: Georg Brandes
- _Asthetiske Studier_ (Copenhagen, 1868); Les Quesnel, _Poesie
- scandinave_ (Paris 1874); Valfrid Valsenius, _Henrik Ibsen_
- (Helsingfors, 1879); Edmund Gosse, _Studies in Northern Literature_
- (London, 1879); L. Passarge, _Henrik Ibsen_ (Leipzig, 1883); G.
- Brandes, _Bjornson och Ibsen_ (Stockholm, 1882); Henrik Jaeger,
- _Henrik Ibsen 1828-1888_ (Copenhagen, 1888; Eng. trans., 1890); T.
- Terwey, _Henrik Ibsen_ (Amsterdam, 1882); G. Bernard Shaw, _The
- Quintessence of Ibsen_ (London, 1892). In France Count Moritz Prozor
- carried on an ardent propaganda in favour of Ibsen from 1885, and
- Jules Lemaitre's articles in his _Les Contemporains_ and _Impressions
- de theatre_ did much to encourage discussion. W. Archer forwarded the
- cause in England from 1878 onwards. In Germany Ibsen began to be known
- in 1866, when John Grieg, P. F. Siebold and Adolf Strodtmann
- successively drew attention to his early dramas; but his real
- popularity among the Germans dates from 1880. (E. G.)

-IBYCUS, of Rhegium in Italy, Greek lyric poet, contemporary of Anacreon,
-flourished in the 6th century B.C. Notwithstanding his good position at
-home, he lived a wandering life, and spent a considerable time at the
-court of Polycrates, tyrant of Samos. The story of his death is thus
-related: While in the neighbourhood of Corinth, the poet was mortally
-wounded by robbers. As he lay dying he saw a flock of cranes flying
-overhead, and called upon them to avenge his death. The murderers betook
-themselves to Corinth, and soon after, while sitting in the theatre, saw
-the cranes hovering above. One of them, either in alarm or jest,
-ejaculated, "Behold the avengers of Ibycus," and thus gave the clue to
-the detection of the crime (Plutarch, _De Garrulitate_, xiv.). The
-phrase, "the cranes of Ibycus," passed into a proverb among the Greeks
-for the discovery of crime through divine intervention. According to
-Suidas, Ibycus wrote seven books of lyrics, to some extent mythical and
-heroic, but mainly erotic (Cicero, _Tusc. Disp._ iv. 33), celebrating
-the charms of beautiful youths and girls. F. G. Welcker suggests that
-they were sung by choruses of boys at the "beauty competitions" held at
-Lesbos. Although the metre and dialect are Dorian, the poems breathe the
-spirit of Aeolian melic poetry.
-
- The best editions of the fragments are by F. W. Schneidewin (1833) and
- Bergk, _Poetae lyrici Graeci_.

-ICA (YCA, or ECCA), a city of southern Peru and the capital of a
-department of the same name, 170 m. S.S.E. of Lima, and 46 m. by rail
-S.E. of Pisco; its port on the Pacific coast. Pop. (1906, official
-estimate) 6000. It lies in a valley of the foothills of the Cordillera
-Occidental, which is watered by the Rio de Ica, is made highly fertile
-by irrigation, and is filled with vineyards and cotton fields; between
-this valley and the coast is a desert. The original town was founded in
-1563, 4 m. E. of its present site, but it was destroyed by the
-earthquake of 1571, and again by that of 1664, after which the present
-town was laid out near the ruins. In 1882 a Chilean marauding expedition
-inflicted great damage to private property in the town and vicinity.
-These repeated disasters give the place a partially ruined appearance,
-but it has considerable commercial and industrial prosperity. It has a
-large cotton factory and there are some smaller industries. Wine-making
-is one of the principal industries of the valley, and much brandy,
-called _pisco_, is exported from Pisco. A new industry is that of drying
-the fruits for which this region is celebrated. Ica is the seat of a
-national college.
-
-The department of ICA lies between the Western Cordillera and the
-Pacific coast, and extends from the department of Lima S.E. to that of
-Arequipa. Pop. (1906, official estimate) 68,220; area 8721 sq. m. Ica is
-in the rainless region of Peru, and the greater part of its surface is
-barren. It is crossed by the rivers Pisco, Ica and Grande, whose
-tributaries drain the western slope of the Cordillera, and whose valleys
-are fertile and highly cultivated. The valley of the Nasca, a tributary
-of the Grande, is celebrated for an extensive irrigating system
-constructed by the natives before the discovery of America. The
-principal products of the department are cotton, grapes, wine, spirits,
-sugar and fruit. These are two good ports on the northern coast, Tambo
-de Mora and Pisco, the latter being connected with the capital by a
-railway across the desert, 46 m. long.

-ICE (a word common to Teutonic languages; cf. Ger. _Eis_), the solid
-crystalline form which water assumes when exposed to a sufficiently low
-temperature. It is a colourless crystalline substance, assuming forms
-belonging to the hexagonal system, and distinguished by a well-marked
-habit of twinning, which occasions the beautiful "ice flowers" displayed
-by hoar-frost. It is frequently precipitated as hoar-frost, snow or
-hail; and in the glaciers and snows of lofty mountain systems or of
-regions of high latitude it exists on a gigantic scale, being
-especially characteristic of the seas and lands around the poles. In
-various regions, especially in France and Italy, great quantities of ice
-form in caves, which, in virtue of their depth below the earth's
-surface, their height above the sea-level, or their exposure to suitable
-winds, or to two or more of these conditions in combination, are
-unaffected by ordinary climatic changes, so that the mean annual
-temperature is sufficiently low to ensure the permanency of the ice. The
-temperature at which water freezes, and also at which ice melts, is so
-readily determined that it is employed as one of the standard
-temperatures in the graduation of ordinary thermometer scales, this
-temperature being the zero of the Centigrade and Reaumur scales, and 32
-deg. of the Fahrenheit (see THERMOMETRY). In the act of freezing, water,
-though its temperature remains unchanged, undergoes a remarkable
-expansion so that ice at 0 deg. C. is less dense than water--a fact
-demonstrated by its power of floating. The sub-aqueous retention of
-"ground-ice" or "anchor-ice," which forms in certain circumstances at
-the bottom of streams or pools in which there are many eddies, is due to
-the cohesion between it and the stones or rocks which compose the bed of
-the streams or pools. As water expands on freezing, so conversely ice
-contracts on melting; and the ice-cold water thus formed continues to
-contract when heated until it has reached its point of maximum density,
-the temperature at which this occurs being about 39 deg. Fahr, or 4 deg.
-C. Above this point water continuously expands, and at no temperature is
-it less dense than ice as is shown by the following table:--
-
- Density of ice at 0 deg. C. = .9175
- " water at 0 deg. C. = .99988
- " " 4 deg. C. = 1.00000
- " " 10 deg. C. = .99976
- " " 100 deg. C. = .95866
-
-Under the influence of heat, ice itself behaves as most solids do,
-contracting when cooled, expanding when heated. According to Plucker,
-the coefficient of cubical dilatation at moderately low temperatures is
-0.0001585. From a series of elaborate experiments, Person deduced 0.505
-as the specific heat of ice, or about half that of water.
-
-Though no rise of temperature accompanies the melting of ice, there is
-yet a definite quantity of heat absorbed, namely, about 80 calories per
-gram; this is called the latent heat of fusion of water (see FUSION).
-The same amount of heat is evolved when water becomes ice. That ice can
-be melted by increase of pressure was first pointed out by James Thomson
-in 1849. He showed that, since water expands on freezing, the laws of
-thermodynamics require that its freezing-point must be lowered by
-increase of pressure; and he calculated that for every additional
-atmosphere of pressure the freezing-point of water was lowered by 0.0075
-deg. This result was verified by his brother, Sir William Thomson (Lord
-Kelvin), in 1850. The Thomsons and H. L. F. Helmholtz successfully
-applied this behaviour of ice under pressure to the explanation of many
-properties of the substance. When two blocks of ice at 0 deg. C. are
-pressed together or even simply laid in contact, they gradually unite
-along their touching surfaces till they form one block. This
-"regelation" is due to the increased pressure at the various points of
-contact causing the ice there to melt and cool. The water so formed
-tends to escape, thus relieving the pressure for an instant, refreezing
-and returning to the original temperature. This succession of melting
-and freezing, with their accompanying thermal effects, goes on until the
-two blocks are cemented into one.
-
-Ice forms over fresh water if the temperature of the air has been for a
-sufficient time at or below the freezing-point; but not until the whole
-mass of water has been cooled down to its point of maximum density, so
-that the subsequent cooling of the surface can give rise to no
-convection currents, is freezing possible. Sea-water, in the most
-favourable circumstances, does not freeze till its temperature is
-reduced to about -2 deg. C.; and the ice, when formed, is found to have
-rejected four-fifths of the salt which was originally present. In the
-upper provinces of India water is made to freeze during cold clear
-nights by leaving it overnight in porous vessels, or in bottles which
-are enwrapped in moistened cloth. The water then freezes in virtue of
-the cold produced by its own evaporation or by the drying of the
-moistened wrapper. In Bengal the natives resort to a still more
-elaborate forcing of the conditions. Pits are dug about 2 ft. deep and
-filled three-quarters full with dry straw, on which are set flat porous
-pans containing the water to be frozen. Exposed overnight to a cool dry
-gentle wind from the north-west, the water evaporates at the expense of
-its own heat, and the consequent cooling takes place with sufficient
-rapidity to overbalance the slow influx of heat from above through the
-cooled dense air or from below through the badly conducting straw.

-ICEBERG (from ice and _Berg_, Ger. for hill, mountain), a floating mass
-of ice broken from the end of a glacier or from an ice-sheet. The word
-is sometimes, but rarely, applied to the arch of an Arctic glacier
-viewed from the sea. It is more commonly used to describe huge floating
-masses of ice that drift from polar regions into navigable waters. They
-are occasionally encountered far beyond the polar regions, rising into
-beautiful forms with breakers roaring into their caves and streams of
-water pouring from their pinnacles in the warmer air. When, however,
-they rest in comparatively warm water, melting takes place most rapidly
-at the base and they frequently overturn. Only one-ninth of the mass of
-ice is seen above water. When a glacier descends to the sea, as in
-Alaska, and "advances into water, the depth of which approaches its
-thickness, the ends are broken off and the detached masses float away as
-icebergs. Many of the bergs are overturned, or at least tilted, as they
-set sail. If this does not happen at once it is likely to occur later as
-the result of the wave-cutting and melting which disturb their
-equilibrium" (T. C. Chamberlin and R. D. Salisbury, _Geology: Processes
-and their Results_, 1905). These bergs carry a load of debris from the
-glacier and gradually strew their load upon the sea floor. They do not
-travel far before losing all stony and earthy debris, but glacial
-material found in dredgings shows that icebergs occasionally carry their
-load far from land. The structure of the iceberg varies with its origin
-and is always that of the glacier or ice-sheet from which it was broken.
-The breaking off of the ice-sheet from a Greenland glacier is called
-locally the "calving" of the glacier. The constantly renewed material
-from which the icebergs are formed is brought down by the motion of the
-glacier. The ice-sheet cracks at the end, and masses break off, owing to
-the upward pressure of the water upon the lighter ice which is pushed
-into it. This is accomplished with considerable violence. The
-disintegration of an Arctic ice-sheet is a simpler matter, as the ice is
-already floating.

-ICELAND (Dan. _Island_), an island in the North Atlantic Ocean,
-belonging to Denmark. Its extreme northerly point is touched by the
-Arctic Circle; it lies between 13 deg. 22' and 24 deg. 35' W., and
-between 63 deg. 12' and 66 deg. 33' N., and has an area of 40,437 sq. m.
-Its length is 298 m. and its breadth 194 m., the shape being a rough
-oval, broken at the north-west, where a peninsula, diversified by a
-great number of fjords, projects from the main portion of the island.
-The total length of the coast-line is about 3730 m., of which
-approximately one-third belongs to the north-western peninsula. Iceland
-is a plateau or tableland, built up of volcanic rocks of older and
-younger formation, and pierced on all sides by fjords and valleys.
-Compared with the tableland, the lowlands have a relatively small area,
-namely, one-fourteenth of the whole; but these lowlands are almost the
-only parts of the island which are inhabited. In consequence of the
-rigour of its climate, the central tableland is absolutely
-uninhabitable. At the outside, not more than one-fourth of the area of
-Iceland is inhabited; the rest consists of elevated deserts, lava
-streams and glaciers. The north-west peninsula is separated from the
-main mass of the island by the bays Hunafloi and Breiethifjorethr, so
-that there are really two tablelands, a larger and a smaller. The
-isthmus which connects the two is only 4(1/4) m. across, but has an
-altitude of 748 ft. The mean elevation of the north-west peninsula is
-2000 ft. The fjords and glens which cut into it are shut in by
-precipitous walls of basalt, which plainly shows that they have been
-formed by erosion through the mass of the plateau. The surface of this
-tableland is also bare and desolate, being covered with gravel and
-fragments of rock. Here and there are large straggling snowfields, the
-largest being Glamu and Drangajokull,[1] on the culminating points of
-the plateau. The only inhabited districts are the shores of the fjords,
-where grass grows capable of supporting sheep; but a large proportion of
-the population gain their livelihood by fishing. The other and larger
-tableland, which constitutes the substantial part of Iceland, reaches
-its culminating point in the south-east, in the gigantic snowfield of
-Vatnajokull, which covers 3300 sq. m. The axis of highest elevation of
-Iceland stretches from north-west to south-east, from the head of
-Hvammsfjorethr to Hornafjorethr, and from this water-parting the rivers
-descend on both sides. The crest of the water-parting is crowned by a
-chain of snow-capped mountains, separated by broad patches of lower
-ground. They are really a chain of minor plateaus which rise 4500 to
-6250 ft. above sea-level and 2000 to 3000 ft. above the tableland
-itself. In the extreme east is Vatnajokull, which is separated from
-Tungnafellsjokull by Vonarskard (3300 ft.). Between Tungnafellsjokull
-and Hofsjokull lies the broad depression of Sprengisandr (2130 ft.).
-Continuing north-west, between Hofsjokull and the next snow-capped
-mountain, Langjokull, lies Kjolur (2000 ft.); and between Langjokull and
-Eiriksjokull, Flosaskard (2630 ft.). To the north of the _joklar_ last
-mentioned there are a number of lakes, all well stocked with fish.
-Numerous valleys or glens penetrate into the tableland, especially on
-the north and east, and between them long mountain spurs, sections of
-the tableland which have resisted the action of erosion, thrust
-themselves towards the sea. Of these the most considerable is the mass
-crowned by Myrdalsjokull, which stretches towards the south. The
-interior of the tableland consists for the most part of barren,
-grassless deserts, the surface being covered by gravel, loose fragments
-of rock, lava, driftsand, volcanic ashes and glacial detritus.
-
-Save the lower parts of the larger glens, there are no lowlands on the
-north and east. The south coast is flat next the sea; but immediately
-underneath Vatnajokull there is a strip of gravel and sand, brought down
-and deposited by the glacial streams. The largest low-lying plain of
-Iceland, lying between Myrdalsjokull and Reykjanes, has an area of about
-1550 sq. m. In its lowest parts this plain barely keeps above sea-level,
-but it rises gradually towards the interior, terminating in a
-ramification of valleys. Its maximum altitude is attained at 381 ft.
-near Geysir. On the west of Mount Hekla this plain connects by a regular
-slope directly with the tableland, to the great injury of its inhabited
-districts, which are thus exposed to the clouds of pumice dust and
-driftsand that cover large areas of the interior. Nevertheless the
-greater part of this lowland plain produces good grass, and is
-relatively well inhabited. The plain is drained by three
-rivers--Markarfljot, Thjorsa and Oelfusa--all of large volume, and
-numerous smaller streams. Towards the west there exist a number of warm
-springs. There is another lowland plain around the head of Faxafloi,
-nearly 400 sq. m. in extent. As a rule the surface of this second plain
-is very marshy. Several dales or glens penetrate the central tableland;
-the eastern part of this lowland is called Borgarfjorethr, the western
-part Myrar.
-
-The great bays on the west of the island (Faxafloi and Breiethifjorethr),[2]
-as well as the many bays on the north, which are separated from one
-another by rocky promontories, appear to owe their origin to subsidences
-of the surface; whereas the fjords of the north-west peninsula, which
-make excellent harbours, and those of the east coast seem to be the
-result chiefly of erosion.

-
-_Glaciers_.--An area of 5170 sq. m. is covered with snowfields and
-glaciers. This extraordinary development of ice and snow is due to the
-raw, moist climate, the large rainfall and the low summer temperature.
-The snow-line varies greatly in different parts of the island, its range
-being from 1300 to 4250 ft. It is highest on the tableland, on the north
-side of Vatnajokull, and lowest on the north-west peninsula, to the
-south of North Cape. Without exception the great _neves_ of Iceland
-belong to the interior tableland. They consist of slightly rounded domes
-or billowy snowfields of vast thickness. In external appearance they
-bear a closer resemblance to the glaciers of the Polar regions than to
-those of the Alps. The largest snowfields are Vatnajokull (3280 sq. m.),
-Hofsjokull (520) Langjokull (500) and Myrdalsjokull (390). The glaciers
-which stream off from these snowfields are often of vast extent, e.g.
-the largest glacier of Vatnajokull has an area of 150 to 200 sq. m., but
-the greater number are small. Altogether, more than 120 glaciers are
-known in Iceland. It is on the south side of Vatnajokull that they
-descend lowest; the lower end of Breidamerkurjokull was in the year 1894
-only 30 ft. above sea-level. The glaciers of the north-west peninsula
-also descend nearly to sea-level. The great number of streams of large
-volume is due to the moist climate and the abundance of glaciers, and
-the milky white or yellowish-brown colour of their waters (whence the
-common name Hvita, white) is due to the glacial clays. The majority of
-them change their courses very often, and vary greatly in volume;
-frequently they are impetuous torrents, forming numerous waterfalls.
-Iceland also possesses a great number of lakes, the largest being
-Thingvallavatn[3] and Thorisvatn, each about 27 sq. m. in area. Myvatn,
-in the north, is well known from the natural beauty of its surroundings.
-Above its surface tower a great number of volcanoes and several craters,
-and its waters are alive with water-fowl, a multitude of ducks of
-various species breeding on its islands. The lakes of Iceland owe their
-origin to different causes, some being due to glacial erosion, others to
-volcanic subsidence. Myvatn fills a depression between lava streams, and
-has a depth of not more than 8(3/4) ft. The group of lakes called
-Fiskivotn (or Veidivotn), which lie in a desolate region to the west of
-Vatnajokull, consist for the most part of crater lakes. The groups of
-lakes which lie north-west from Langjokull occupy basins formed between
-ridges of glacial gravel; and in the valleys numerous lakes are found
-at the backs of the old moraines.
-
-_Volcanoes_.--Iceland is one of the most volcanic regions of the earth;
-volcanic activity has gone on continuously from the formation of the
-island in the Tertiary period down to the present time. So far as is
-known, there have in historic times been eruptions from twenty-five
-volcanic vents. Altogether 107 volcanoes are known to exist in Iceland,
-with thousands of craters, great and small. The lava-streams which have
-flowed from them since the Glacial epoch now cover an area of 4650 sq.
-m. They are grouped in dense masses round the volcanoes from which they
-have flowed, the bulk of the lava dating from outbreaks which occurred
-in prehistoric times. The largest volume of lava which has issued at one
-outflow within historic times is the stream which came from the craters
-of Laki at Skapta. This belongs to the year 1783, and covers an area of
-218 sq. m., and amounts to a volume represented by a cube each of whose
-sides measures 7(1/2) m. The largest unbroken lava-field in Iceland is
-Odaethahraun (Lava of Evil Deeds), upon the tableland north from
-Vatnajokull (2000 to 4000 ft. above sea-level). It is the accretion of
-countless eruptions from over twenty volcanoes, and covers an area of
-1300 sq.m. (or, including all its ramifications and minor detached
-streams, 1700 sq. m.), and its volume would fill a cube measuring 13.4
-m. in every direction. As regards their superficies, the lava-streams
-differ greatly. Sometimes they are very uneven and jagged (_apalhraun_),
-consisting of blocks of lava loosely flung together in the utmost
-confusion. The great lava-fields, however, are composed of vast sheets
-of lava, ruptured and riven in divers ways (_helluhraun_). The smooth
-surface of the viscous billowy lava is further diversified by long
-twisted "ropes," curving backwards and forwards up and down the
-undulations. Moreover, there are gigantic fissures, running for several
-miles, caused by subsidences of the underlying sections. The best-known
-fissure of this character is Almannagja at Thingvellir. On the occasion
-of outbreaks the fine ashes are scattered over a large portion of the
-island, and sometimes carried far across the Atlantic. After the
-eruption of Katla in 1625 the ashes were blown as far as Bergen in
-Norway, and when Askja was in eruption in 1875 a rain of ashes fell on
-the west coast of Norway 11 hours 40 minutes, and at Stockholm 15 hours,
-afterwards. The volcanic ash frequently proves extremely harmful,
-destroying the pastures so that the sheep and cattle die of hunger and
-disease. The outbreak of Laki in 1783 occasioned the loss of 11,500
-cattle, 28,000 horses and 190,500 sheep--that is to say, 53% of the
-cattle in the island, 77% of the horses and 82% of the sheep. After that
-the island was visited by a famine, which destroyed 9500 people, or
-one-fifth of the total population.
-
-The Icelandic volcanoes may be divided into three classes: (1)
-cone-shaped, like Vesuvius, built up of alternate layers of ashes,
-scoriae and lava; (2) cupola-shaped, with an easy slope and a vast
-crater opening at the top--these shield-shaped cupolas are composed
-entirely of layers of lava, and their inclination is seldom steeper than
-7 deg.-8 deg.; (3) chains of craters running close alongside a fissure
-in the ground. For the most part the individual craters are low,
-generally not exceeding 300 to 500 ft. These crater chains are both very
-common and often very long. The chain of Laki, which was formed in 1783,
-extends 20 m., and embraces about one hundred separate craters.
-Sometimes, however, the lava-streams are vomited straight out of
-gigantic fissures in the earth without any crater being formed. Many of
-the Icelandic volcanoes during their periods of quiescence are covered
-with snow and ice. Then when an outbreak occurs the snow and ice melt,
-and in that way they sometimes give rise to serious catastrophes
-(_jokulhlaup_), through large areas being suddenly inundated by great
-floods of water, which bear masses of ice floating on their surface.
-Katla caused very serious destruction in this way by converting several
-cultivated districts into barren wastes. In the same way in the year
-1362 Oeraefajokull, the loftiest mountain in Iceland (6424 ft.), swept
-forty farms, together with their inhabitants and live stock, bodily into
-the ocean. The best-known volcano is Hekla (5108 ft.), which was in
-eruption eighteen times within the historic period down to 1845. Katla
-during the same period was active thirteen times down to 1860. The
-largest volcano is Askja, situated in the middle of the lava-field of
-Odaethahraun. Its crater measures 34 sq. m. in area. At Myvatn there are
-several volcanoes, which were particularly active in the years
-1724-1730. On several occasions there have been volcanic outbreaks under
-the sea outside the peninsula of Reykjanes, islands appearing and
-afterwards disappearing again. The crater chain of Laki has only been in
-eruption once in historic times, namely, the violent and disastrous
-outbreak of 1783. Iceland, however, possesses no constantly active
-volcano. There are often long intervals between the successive
-outbreaks, and many of the volcanoes (and this is especially true of the
-chains of craters) have only vented themselves in a solitary outburst.
-
-Earthquakes are frequent, especially in the districts which are
-peculiarly volcanic. Historical evidence goes to show that they are
-closely associated with three naturally defined regions: (1) the region
-between Skjalfandi and Axarfjorethr in the north, where violent earth
-tremblings are extremely common; (2) at Faxafloi, where minor vibrations
-are frequent; (3) the southern lowlands, between Reykjanes and
-Myrdalsjokull, have frequently been devastated by violent earthquake
-shocks, with great loss of property and life, e.g. on the 14th-16th of
-August 1784, when 92 farmsteads were totally destroyed, and 372
-farmsteads and 11 churches were seriously damaged; and again in August
-and September 1896, when another terrible earthquake destroyed 161
-farmsteads and damaged 155 others. Hot springs are found in every part
-of Iceland, both singly and in groups; they are particularly numerous in
-the western portion of the southern lowlands, where amongst others is
-the famous Geyser (q.v.). Sulphur springs and boiling mud lakes are also
-general in the volcanic districts; and in places there are carbonic acid
-springs, these more especially on the peninsula of Snaefellsnes, north of
-Faxafloi.
-
- _Geology_.--Iceland is built up almost entirely of volcanic rocks,
- none of them older, however, than the middle of the Tertiary period.
- The earlier flows were probably contemporaneous with those of
- Greenland, the Faeroes, the western islands of Scotland and the
- north-east of Ireland. The principal varieties are basalt and
- palagonitic breccias, the former covering two-thirds of the entire
- area, the latter the remaining one-third. Compared with these two
- systems, all other formations have an insignificant development. The
- palagonitic breccias, which stretch in an irregular belt across the
- island, are younger than the basalt. In the north-west, north and east
- the coasts are formed of basalt, and rise in steep, gloomy walls of
- rock to altitudes of 3000 ft. and more above sea-level. Deposits of
- clay, with remains of plants of the Tertiary period, lignite and
- tree-trunks pressed flat, which the Icelanders call _surtarbrandur_,
- occur in places in the heart of the basalt formation. These
- fossiliferous strata are developed in greatest thickness in the
- north-west peninsula. Indeed, in some few places well-marked
- impressions of leaves and fruit have been discovered, proving that in
- Tertiary times Iceland possessed extensive forests, and its annual
- mean temperature must have been at least 48 deg. Fahr., whereas the
- present mean is 35.6 deg. The palagonitic breccias, which attain their
- greatest development in the south of the island and on the tableland,
- consist of reddish, brown or yellowish rocks, tuffs and breccias,
- belonging to several different groups or divisions, the youngest of
- which seems to be of a date subsequent to the Glacial epoch. All over
- Iceland, in both the basalt and breccia formations, there occur small
- intrusive beds and dikes of liparite, and as this rock is of a lighter
- colour than the basalt, it is visible from a distance. In the
- south-east of the island, in the parish of Lon, there exist a few
- mountains of gabbro, a rock which does not occur in any other part of
- Iceland. Near Husavik in the north there have been found marine
- deposits containing a number of marine shells; they belong to the Red
- Crag division of the Pliocene. In the middle of Iceland, where the
- geological foundation is tuff and breccias, large areas are buried
- under ancient outflows of lava, which bear evidences of glacial
- scratching. These lava streams, which are of a doleritic character,
- flowed before the Glacial age, or during its continuance, out of lava
- cones with gigantic crater openings, such as may be seen at the
- present day. During the Glacial epoch the whole of Iceland was covered
- by a vast sheet of inland ice, except for a few small isolated peaks
- rising along its outer margins. This ice-cap had on the tableland a
- thickness of 2300 to 2600 ft. Rocks scored by glacial ice and showing
- plain indications of striation, together with thousands of erratic
- blocks, are found scattered all over Iceland. Signs of elevation
- subsequent to the Glacial epoch are common all round the island,
- especially on the north-west peninsula. There are found strikingly
- developed marine terraces of gravel, shore lines and surf beaches
- marked on the solid rock. In several places there are traces of
- shells; and sometimes skeletal remains of whales and walruses, as well
- as ancient driftwood, have been discovered at tolerable distances from
- the present coast. The ancient shore-lines occur at two different
- altitudes. Along the higher, 230 to 266 ft. above the existing
- sea-level, shells have been found which are characteristic of high
- Arctic latitudes and no longer exist in Iceland; whereas on the lower
- shore-line, 100 to 130 ft., the shells belong to species which occur
- amongst the coast fauna of the present day.
-
- The geysers and other hot springs are due to the same causes as the
- active volcanoes, and the earthquakes are probably manifestations of
- the same forces. A feature of special interest to geologists in the
- present conditions of the island is the great power of the wind both
- as a transporting and denuding agent. The rock sculpture is often very
- similar to that of a tropical desert.[4]
-
-_Climate_.--Considering its high latitude and situation, Iceland has a
-relatively mild climate. The meteorological conditions vary greatly,
-however, in different parts of the island. In the south and east the
-weather is generally changeable, stormy and moist; whilst on the north
-the rainfall is less. The climate of the interior tableland approximates
-to the continental type and is often extremely cold. The mean annual
-temperature is 37.2 deg. F. in Stykkisholmr on Breiethifjorethr, 38.5
-deg. at Eyrarbakki in the south of Iceland, 41 deg. at Vestmannaeyjar,
-36 deg. at Akureyri in the north, 36.7 deg. on Berufjorethr in the east,
-and 30.6 deg. at Modrudalr on the central tableland. The range is great
-not only from year to year, but also from month to month. For instance,
-at Stykkisholmr the highest annual mean for March was 39.7 deg., and the
-lowest 8 deg., during a period of thirty-eight years. Iceland lies
-contiguous to that part of the north Atlantic in which the shifting
-areas of low pressure prevail, so that storms are frequent and the
-barometer is seldom firm. The barometric pressure at sea-level in the
-south-west of Iceland during the period 1878-1900 varied between 30.8
-and 27.1 in. The climate of the coasts is relatively mild in summer, but
-tolerably cold in winter. The winter means of the north and east coasts
-average 31.7 deg. and 31.3 deg. F. respectively; the summer means, 42.8
-deg. and 44.6 deg.; and the means of the year, 33.1 deg. and 35.6 deg.
-The winter means of the south and west coasts average 32 deg. and 31.7
-deg. respectively; the summer means, 48.2 deg. and 50 deg.; the annual
-means, 37.4 deg. and 39.2 deg. The rainfall on the south and east coasts
-is considerable, e.g. at Vestmannaeyjar, 49.4 in. in the year; at
-Berufjorethr, 43.6 in. On the west coast it is less, e.g. 24.3 in. at
-Stykkisholmr; but least of all on the north coast, being only 14.6 in.
-on the island of Grimsey, which lies off that coast. Mist is commonly
-prevalent on the east coast; at Berufjorethr there is mist on no fewer
-than 212 days in the year. The south and west coasts are washed by the
-Gulf Stream, and the north coast by an Arctic current, which frequently
-brings with it a quantity of drift-ice, and thus exercises a
-considerable effect upon the climate of the island; sometimes it blocks
-the north coast in the summer months. On the whole, during the 19th
-century, the north coast was free from ice on an average of one year in
-every four or five. The clearness of the atmosphere has been frequently
-remarked. Thunderstorms occur mostly in winter.
-
- _Flora_.--The vegetation presents the characteristics of an Arctic
- European type, and is tolerably uniform throughout the island, the
- differences even on the tableland being slight. At present 435 species
- of phanerogams and vascular cryptogams are known; the lower orders
- have been little investigated. The grasses are of the greatest
- importance to the inhabitants, for upon them they are dependent for
- the keep of their live stock. Heather covers large tracts, and also
- affords pasture for sheep. The development of forest trees is
- insignificant. Birch woods exist in a good many places, especially in
- the warmer valleys; but the trees are very short, scarcely attaining
- more than 3 to 10 ft. in height. In a few places, however, they reach
- 13 to 20 ft. and occasionally more. A few mountain ash or rowan trees
- (_Sorbus aucuparia_) are found singly here and there, and attain to 30
- ft. in height. Willows are also pretty general, the highest in growth
- being _Salix phyllicifolia_, 7 to 10 ft. The wild flora of Iceland is
- small and delicate, with bright bloom, the heaths being especially
- admired. Wild crowberries and bilberries are the only fruit found in
- the island.
-
- _Fauna_.--The Icelandic fauna is of a sub-Arctic type. But while the
- species are few, the individuals are often numerous. The land mammals
- are very poorly represented; and it is doubtful whether any species is
- indigenous. The polar bear is an occasional visitant, being brought to
- the coast by the Greenland drift-ice. Foxes are common, both the white
- and the blue occurring; mice and the brown rat have been introduced,
- though one variety of mouse is possibly indigenous. Reindeer were
- introduced in 1770. The marine mammalia are numerous. The walrus is
- now seldom seen, although in prehistoric times it was common. There
- are numerous species of seals; and the seas abound in whales. Of birds
- there are over 100 species, more than one-half being aquatic. In the
- interior the whistling swan is common, and numerous varieties of ducks
- are found in the lakes. The eider duck, which breeds on the islands of
- Breiethifjorethr, is a source of livelihood to the inhabitants, as are
- also the many kinds of sea-fowl which breed on the sea-cliffs. Iceland
- possesses neither reptiles nor batrachians. The fish fauna is abundant
- in individuals, some sixty-eight species being found off the coasts.
- The cod fisheries are amongst the most important in the world. Large
- quantities of herring, plaice and halibut are also taken. Many of the
- rivers abound in salmon, and trout are plentiful in the lakes and
- streams.
-
-_Population and Towns_.--The census of 1890 gave a total population of
-70,927, and this number had increased by 1901 to 78,489. The increase
-during the 19th century was 27,000, while at least 15,600 Icelanders
-emigrated to America, chiefly to Manitoba, from 1872 to the close of the
-century. The largest town is Reykjavik on Faxafloi, with 6700
-inhabitants, the capital of the island, and the place of residence of
-the governor-general and the bishop. Here the Althing meets; and here,
-further, are the principal public institutions of the island (library,
-schools, &c.). The town possesses a statue to Thorvaldsen, the famous
-sculptor, who was of Icelandic descent. The remaining towns include
-Isafjorethr (pop. 1000) on the north-west peninsula, Akureyri (1000) on
-the north and Seydisfjorethr (800) in the east.
-
-_Industries_.--The principal occupation of the Icelanders is
-cattle-breeding, and more particularly sheep-breeding, although the
-fishing industries have come rapidly to the front in modern times. In
-1850, 82% of the population were dependent upon cattle-breeding and 7%
-upon fishing; in 1890 the numbers were 64% and 18% respectively. The
-culture of grain is not practised in Iceland; all bread-stuffs are
-imported. In ancient times barley was grown in some places, but it never
-paid for the cost of cultivation. Cattle-breeding has declined in
-importance, while the number of sheep has increased. Formerly gardening
-was of no importance, but considerable progress has been made in this
-branch in modern times, as also in the cultivation of potatoes and
-turnips. Fruit-trees will not thrive; but black and red currants and
-rhubarb are grown, the last-named doing excellently. Iceland possesses
-four agricultural schools, one agricultural society, and small
-agricultural associations in nearly every district. The fisheries give
-employment to about 12,000 people. For the most part the fishing is
-carried on from open boats, notwithstanding the dangers of so stormy a
-coast. But larger decked vessels have come into increasing use. In
-summer the waters are visited by a great number of foreign fishermen,
-inclusive of about 300 fishing-boats from French ports, as well as by
-fishing-boats from the Faeroes and Norway, and steam trawlers from
-England. Excellent profit is made in certain parts of the island from
-the herring fishery; this is especially the case on the east coast.
-There are marine insurance societies and a school of navigation at
-Reykjavik. The export of fish and fish products has greatly increased.
-In 1849 to 1855 the annual average exported was 1480 tons; whereas at
-the close of the century (in 1899) it amounted to 11,339 tons and 68,079
-barrels of oil, valued at L276,596.
-
-_Commerce_.--From the first colonization of the island down to the 14th
-century the trade was in the hands of native Icelanders and Norsemen; in
-the 15th century it was chiefly in the hands of the English, in the 16th
-of Germans from the Hanse towns. From 1602 to 1786 commerce was a
-monopoly of the Danish government; in the latter year it was declared
-free to all Danish subjects and in 1854 free to all nations. Since 1874,
-when Iceland obtained her own administration, commerce has increased
-considerably. Thus the total value of the imports and exports together
-in 1849 did not exceed L170,000; while in 1891-1895 the imports averaged
-L356,000 and the exports L340,000. In 1902 imports were valued at
-L596,193 and exports at L511,083. Trade is almost entirely with Denmark,
-the United Kingdom, and Norway and Sweden, in this order according to
-value. The principal native products exported are live sheep, horses,
-salt meat, wool and hides, to which must be added the fish
-products--cod, train-oil, herring and salmon--eiderdown and woollen
-wares. The spinning, weaving and knitting of wool is a widespread
-industry, and the native tweed (_vaethmal_) is the principal material for
-the clothing of the inhabitants. The imports consist principally of
-cereals and flour, coffee, sugar, ale, wines and spirits, tobacco,
-manufactured wares, iron and metal wares, timber, salt, coal, &c. The
-money, weights and measures in use are the same as in Denmark. The
-Islands Bank in Reykjavik (1904) is authorized to issue bank-notes up to
-L133,900 in total value.
-
-_Communications_.--All land journeys are made on horseback, and in the
-remoter parts all goods have to be transported by the same means.
-Throughout the greater part of the island there exist no proper roads
-even in the inhabited districts, but only bridle-paths, and in the
-uninhabited districts not even these. Nevertheless much has been done to
-improve such paths as there are, and several miles of driving roads have
-been made, more particularly in the south. Since 1888 many bridges have
-been built; previous to that year there was none. The larger rivers have
-been spanned by iron swing-bridges, and the Blanda is crossed by a fixed
-iron bridge. Postal connexion is maintained with Denmark by steamers,
-which sail from Copenhagen and call at Leith. Besides, steamers go round
-the island, touching at nearly every port.
-
-_Religion_.--The Icelanders are Lutherans. For ecclesiastical purposes
-the island is divided into 20 deaneries and 142 parishes, and the
-affairs of each ecclesiastical parish are administered by a parish
-council, and in each deanery by a district (_hjeraeth_) council. When a
-living falls vacant, the governor-general of the island, after
-consultation with the bishop, selects three candidates, and from these
-the congregation chooses one, the election being subsequently confirmed
-by the governor-general. In the case of certain livings, however, the
-election requires confirmation by the crown. In 1847 a theological
-seminary was founded at Reykjavik, and there the majority of the
-Icelandic ministry are educated; some, however, are graduates of the
-university of Copenhagen.
-
-_Health_.--The public health has greatly improved in modern times; the
-death-rate of young children has especially diminished. This improvement
-is due to greater cleanliness, better dwellings, better nourishment, and
-the increase in the number of doctors. There are now doctors in all
-parts of the country, whereas formerly there were hardly any in the
-island. There is a modern asylum for leprosy at Laugarnes near
-Reykjavik, and a medical school at Reykjavik, opened in 1876. The
-general sanitary affairs of the island are under the control of a chief
-surgeon (national physician) who lives in Reykjavik, and has
-superintendence over the doctors and the medical school.
-
-_Government_.--According to the constitution granted to Iceland in 1874,
-the king of Denmark shares the legislative power with the Althing, an
-assembly of 36 members, 30 of whom are elected by household suffrage,
-and 6 nominated by the king. The Althing meets every second year, and
-sits in two divisions, the upper and the lower. The upper division
-consists of the 6 members nominated by the king and 6 elected by the
-representatives of the people out of their own body. The lower division
-consists of the remaining 24 representative members. The minister for
-Iceland, who resided in Copenhagen until 1903, when his office was
-transferred to Reykjavik, is responsible to the king and the Althing for
-the maintenance of the constitution, and he submits to the king for
-confirmation the legislative measures proposed by the Althing. The king
-appoints a governor-general (_landshofethingi_) who is resident in the
-island and carries on the government on the responsibility of the
-minister. Formerly Iceland was divided into four quarters, the east, the
-south, the west and north. Now the north and the east are united under
-one governor, and the south and the west under another. The island is
-further divided into 18 _syslur_ (counties), and these again into 169
-hreppur (rapes) or poor-law districts. Responsible to the governors are
-the sheriffs (_syslumenn_), who act as tax gatherers, notaries public
-and judges of first instance; the sheriff has in every _hreppur_ an
-assistant, called _hreppstjori_. In every _hreppur_ there is also a
-representative committee, who administer the poor laws, and look after
-the general concerns of the _hreppur_. These committees are controlled
-by the committees of the _syslur_ (county boards), and these again are
-under the control of the _amtsraeth_ (quarter board), consisting of three
-members. From the sheriff courts appeals lie to the superior court at
-Reykjavik, consisting of three judges. Appeals may be taken in all
-criminal cases and most civil cases to the supreme court at Copenhagen.
-
-Iceland has her own budget, the Althing having, by the constitution of
-1874, the right to vote its own supplies. As the Althing only meets
-every other year, the budget is passed for two years at once. The total
-income and expenditure are each about L70,000 per financial period.
-There is a national reserve fund of about L60,000, but no public debt;
-nor is there any contribution for either military or naval purposes.
-Iceland has her own customs service, but the only import duties levied
-are upon spirits, tobacco, coffee and sugar, and in each case the duties
-are fairly low.
-
-_Education_.--Education is pretty widespread amongst the people. In the
-towns and fishing villages there are a few elementary schools, but often
-the children are instructed at home; in some places by peripatetic
-teachers. It is incumbent upon the clergy to see that all children are
-taught reading, writing and arithmetic. The people are great readers;
-considering the number of the inhabitants, books and periodicals have a
-very extensive circulation. Eighteen newspapers are issued (once and
-twice a week), besides several journals, and Iceland has always been
-distinguished for her native literature. At Reykjavik there are a Latin
-school, a medical school and a theological school; at Modruvellir and
-Hafnarfjorethr, modern high schools (_Realschulen_); and in addition to
-these there are four agricultural schools, a school of navigation, and
-three girls' schools. The national library at Reykjavik contains some
-40,000 volumes and 3000 MSS. At the same place there is also a valuable
-archaeological collection. Amongst the learned societies are the
-Icelandic Literary Society (_Bokmentafjelag_), the society of the
-Friends of the People, and the Archaeological Society of Reykjavik.

-HISTORY
-
-Shortly after the discovery of Iceland by the Scandinavian, c. 850 (it
-had long been inhabited by a small colony of Irish Culdees), a stream of
-immigration set in towards it, which lasted for sixty years, and
-resulted in the establishment of some 4000 homesteads. In this
-immigration three distinct streams can be traced. (1) About 870-890 four
-great noblemen from Norway, Ingolf, Ketil Haeng, Skalla-Grim and Thorolf,
-settled with their dependants in the south-west of the new found land.
-(2) In 890-900 there came from the western Islands Queen Aud, widow of
-Olaf the White, king of Dublin, preceded and followed by a number of her
-kinsmen and relations (many like herself being Christians), Helgi
-Biolan, Biorn the Eastern, Helgi the Lean, Ketil the Foolish, &c., who
-settled the best land in the island (west, north-west and north), and
-founded families who long swayed its destinies. There also came from the
-Western Islands a fellowship of vikings seeking a free home in the
-north. They had colonized the west in the viking times; they had "fought
-at Hafursfirth," helping their stay-at-home kinsmen against the
-centralization of the great head-king, who, when he had crushed
-opposition in Norway, followed up his victory by compelling them to flee
-or bow to his rule. Such were Ingimund the Old, Geirmund Hellskin, Thord
-Beardie (who had wed St. Edmund's granddaughter,) Audun Shackle,
-Bryniulf the Old, Uni, to whom Harold promised the earldom of the new
-land if he could make the settlers acknowledge him as king (a hopeless
-project), and others by whom the north-west, north and east were almost
-completely "claimed." (3) In 900-930 a few more incomers direct from
-Norway completed the settlement of the south, north-east and south-east.
-Among them were Earl Hrollaug (half-brother of Hrolf Ganger and of the
-first earl of Orkney), Hialti, Hrafnkell Frey's priest, and the sons of
-Asbiorn. Fully three-quarters of the land was settled from the west, and
-among these immigrants there was no small proportion of Irish blood. In
-1100 there were 4500 franklins, i.e. about 50,000 souls.

-
- Organization.
-
-The unit of Icelandic politics was the homestead with its franklin-owner
-(_buendi_), its primal organization the hundred-moot (_thing_), its tie
-the goethoreth (godar) or chieftainship. The chief who had led a band of
-kinsmen and dependants to the new land, taken a "claim" there, and
-parcelled it out among them, naturally became their leader, presiding as
-priest at the temple feasts and sacrifices of heathen times, acting as
-speaker of their moot, and as their representative towards the
-neighbouring chiefs. He was not a feudal lord nor a local sheriff, for
-any franklin could change his goethoreth when he would, and the rights of
-"judgment by peers" were in full use; moreover, the office could be
-bequeathed, sold, divided or pledged by the possessor; still the goethi
-had considerable power as long as the commonwealth lasted.
-
-Disputes between neighbouring chiefs and their clients, and uncertainty
-as to the law, brought about the _Constitution of Ulfliot_ (c. 930),
-which appointed a central moot for the whole island, the Althing, and a
-speaker to speak a single "law" (principally that followed by the
-Gula-moot in Norway); the _Reforms of Thord Gellir_ (964), settling a
-fixed number of moots and chieftaincies, dividing the island into four
-quarters (thus characterized by Ari: north, thickest settled, most
-famous; east, first completely settled; south, best land and greatest
-chiefs; west, remarkable for noble families), to each of which a
-head-court, the "quarter-court," was assigned; and the _Innovations of
-Skapti_ (ascribed in the saga to Nial) _the Law-Speaker_ (d. 1030), who
-set up a "fifth court" as the ultimate tribunal in criminal matters, and
-strengthened the community against the chiefs. But here constitutional
-growth ceased: the law-making body made few and unimportant
-modifications of custom; the courts were still too weak for the chiefs
-who misused and defied them; the speaker's power was not sufficiently
-supported to enable him to be any more than a highly respected lord
-chief justice, whereas he ought to have become a justiza if anarchy was
-to be avoided; even the ecclesiastical innovations, while they secured
-peace for a time, provoked in the end the struggles which put an end to
-the commonwealth.
-
-Christianity was introduced c. 1000. Tithes were established in 1096,
-and an ecclesiastical code made c. 1125. The first disputes about the
-jurisdiction of the clergy were moved by Gudmund in the 13th century,
-bringing on a civil war, while the questions of patronage and rights
-over glebe and mortmainland occupied Bishop Arni and his adversaries
-fifty years afterwards, when the land was under Norwegian viceroys and
-Norwegian law. For the civil wars broke down the great houses who had
-monopolized the chieftaincies; and after violent struggles (in which the
-Sturlungs of the first generation perished at Orlygstad, 1238, and
-Reykiaholt, 1241, while of the second generation Thord Kakali was called
-away by the king in 1250, and Thorgils Skardi slain in 1258) the
-submission of the island to Norway quarter after quarter, took place in
-1262-1264, under Gizur's auspices, and the old Common Law was replaced
-by the New Norse Code "Ironside" in 1271.
-
-The political life and law of the old days is abundantly illustrated in
-the sagas (especially Eyrbyggia, Hamsa-Thori, Reykdaela, Hrafnkell, and
-Niala), the two collections of law-scrolls (_Codex Regius_, c. 1235, and
-_Stadarhol's Book_, c. 1271), the Libellus, the Liberfragments, and the
-Landnamabok of Ari, and the Diplomatarium. K. Maurer has made the
-subject his own in his _Beitrage, Island, Gragas_, &c.
-
-The medieval Icelandic church had two bishoprics, Skalholt (S., W., and
-E.) 1056, and Holar (N.) 1106, and about 175 parishes (two-thirds of
-which belonged to the southern bishopric). They belonged to the
-metropolitan see of Bremen, then to Lund, lastly to Nidaros, 1237. There
-were several religious foundations: Thingore (founded 1133), Thwera
-(1155), Hitardale (c. 1166), Kirkby Nunnery (1184), Stad Nunnery (1296),
-and Saurby (c. 1200) were Benedictine, while Ver (1168), Flatey after
-Holyfell (1172), Videy (1226), Madderfield Priory (1296), and Skrid
-Priory (14th century) were Augustinian. The bishops, elected by the
-people at the Althing till 1237, enjoyed considerable power; two,
-Thorlak of Skalholt and John of Holar, were publicly voted saints at the
-Althing, and one, Gudmund, received the title of "Good" by decree of the
-bishop and chapter. Full details as to ecclesiastical history will be
-found in the _Biskupasogur_ (edited by Dr Vigfusson).
-
-
- Mode of life.
-
-Iceland was not agricultural but pastoral, depending upon flocks Mode of
-and herds for subsistence, for, though rye and other grain would grow in
-favoured localities, the hay, self-sown, was the only regular crop. In
-some districts the fisheries and fowling were of importance, but
-nine-tenths of the population lived by their sheep and cattle. Life on
-each homestead was regularly portioned out: out door occupations--fishing,
-shepherding, fowling, and the hay-making and fuel-gathering--occupying the
-summer; while indoor business--weaving, tool-making, &c.--filled up the
-long winter. The year was broken by the spring feasts and moots, the great
-Althing meeting at midsummer, the marriage and arval gatherings after the
-summer, and the long yule feasts at midwinter. There were but two degrees
-of men, free and unfree, though only the franklins had any political
-power; and, from the nature of the life, social intercourse was
-unrestrained and unfettered; goethi and thrall lived the same lives, ate the
-same food, spoke the same tongue, and differed little in clothing or
-habits. The thrall had a house of his own and was rather villein or serf
-than slave, having rights and a legal price by law. During the heathen
-days many great chiefs passed part of their lives in Norway at the king's
-court, but after the establishment of Christianity in Iceland they kept
-more at home, visiting the continent, however, for purposes of state,
-suits with clergy, &c. Trade was from the first almost entirely in foreign
-(Norse) hands.
-
-The introduction of a church system brought little change. The great
-families put their members into orders, and so continued to enjoy the
-profits of the land which they had given to the church; the priests
-married and otherwise behaved like the franklins around them in everyday
-matters, farming, trading, going to law like laymen.
-
-
- Effects of the Union.
-
-Life in the commonwealth was turbulent and anarchic, but free and
-varied; it produced men of mark, and fostered bravery, adventure and
-progress. But on the union with Norway all this ceased, and there was
-left but a low dead level of poor peasant proprietors careless of all
-save how to live by as little labour as possible, and pay as few taxes
-as they could to their foreign rulers. The island received a foreign
-governor (_Earl_, _Hirdstjori_ or _Stiptamtsmadr_ as he was successively
-called), and was parcelled out into counties (_syslur_), administered by
-sheriffs (_syslumadr_) appointed by the king. A royal court took the
-place of the Althing courts; the local business of the local things was
-carried out by the (_hreppstjori_) bailiff, a subordinate of the
-sheriff; and the goethoreth, things, quarter-courts, trial by jury, &c.,
-were swept away by these innovations. The power of the crown was
-increased by the confiscation of the great Sturlung estates, which were
-underleased to farmers, while the early falling off of the Norse trade
-threatened to deprive the island of the means of existence; for the
-great epidemics and eruptions of the 14th century had gravely attacked
-its pastoral wealth and ruined much of its pasture and fishery.
-
-The union of the Three Crowns transferred the practical rule of Iceland
-to Denmark in 1280, and the old Treaty of Union, by which the island had
-reserved its essential rights, was disregarded by the absolute Danish
-monarchs; but, though new taxation was imposed, it was rather their
-careless neglect than their too active interference that damaged
-Iceland's interests. But for an English trade, which sprang up out of
-the half-smuggling, half-buccaneering enterprise of the Bristol
-merchants, the island would have fared badly, for during the whole of
-the 15th century their trade with England, exporting sulphur, eiderdown
-(of which the English taught them the value), wool, and salt stock-fish,
-and importing as before wood, iron, honey, wine, grain and flax goods,
-was their only link with the outer world. This period of Iceland's
-existence is eventless: she had got peace but with few of its blessings;
-all spirit seemed to have died with the commonwealth; even shepherding
-and such agriculture as there had been sank to a lower stage; wagons,
-ploughs and carts went out of use and knowledge; architecture in timber
-became a lost art, and the fine carved and painted halls of the heathen
-days were replaced by turf-walled barns half sunk in the earth; the
-large decked luggers of the old days gave way to small undecked
-fishing-boats.
-
-
- The Reformation.
-
-The Reformation in Iceland wakened men's minds, but it left their
-circumstances little changed. Though the fires of martyrdom were never
-lighted in Iceland, the story of the easily accepted Reformation is not
-altogether a pleasant one. When it was accomplished, the little knot of
-able men who came to the front did much in preserving the records of the
-past, while Odd and Hallgrim exhibit the noblest impulses of their time.
-While there was this revolution in religion a social and political
-revolution never came to Iceland. The Hanse trade replaced the English
-for the worse; and the Danish monopoly which succeeded it when the
-Danish kings began to act again with vigour was still less profitable.
-The glebes and hospital lands were a fresh power in the hands of the
-crown, and the subservient Lutheran clergy became the most powerful
-class in the island, while the system of under-leasing at rackrent and
-short lease with unsecured tenant right extended over at least a quarter
-of the better land.
-
-
- Decadence.
-
-A new plague, that of the English, Gascon and Algerine pirates, marked
-the close of the 16th century and opening of the 17th, causing
-widespread panic and some devastation in 1579, 1613-1616 and 1627.
-Nothing points more to the helplessness of the natives' condition than
-their powerlessness against these foes. But the 18th century is the most
-gloomy in Iceland's annals. Smallpox, famine, sheep disease, and the
-eruptions of 1765 and 1783 follow each other in terrible succession.
-Against such visitations, which reduced the population by about a
-fourth, little could be done. The few literary men, whose work was done
-and whose books were published abroad, were only concerned with the
-past, and Jon Vidalin is the one man of mark, beside Eggert Olafsson,
-who worked and wrote for his own generation.[5]
-
-
- Modern times.
-
-Gradually the ideas which were agitating Europe spread through
-Scandinavia into Iceland, and its claims were more respectfully listened
-to. The continental system, which, by its leading to the blockade of
-Denmark, threatened to starve Iceland, was neutralized by special action
-of the British government. Trade and fishery grew a little brisker, and
-at length the turn came.
-
-The rationalistic movement, headed by Magnus Stephenson, a patriotic,
-narrow-minded lawyer, did little good as far as church reform went, but
-was accompanied by a more successful effort to educate the people. A
-Useful Knowledge Society was formed and did some honest work. Newspapers
-and periodicals were published, and the very stir which the
-ecclesiastical disputes encouraged did good. When free trade came, and
-when the free constitution of Denmark had produced its legitimate
-effects, the endeavours of a few patriots such as Jon Sigurdsson were
-able to push on the next generation a step further. Questions of a
-modern political complexion arose; the cattle export controversy and the
-great home rule struggle began. After thirty years' agitation home rule
-was conceded in 1874 (see above, _Government_). (F. Y. P.)

-
-ANCIENT LITERATURE
-
-_Poetry._--Iceland has always borne a high renown for song, but has
-never produced a poet of the highest order, the qualities which in other
-lands were most sought for and admired in poetry being in Iceland
-lavished on the saga, a prose epic, while Icelandic poetry is to be
-rated very high for the one quality which its authors have ever aimed
-at--melody of sound. To these generalizations there are few exceptions,
-though Icelandic literature includes a group of poems which possess
-qualities of high imagination, deep pathos, fresh love of nature,
-passionate dramatic power, and noble simplicity of language which
-Icelandic poetry lacks. The solution is that these poems do not belong
-to Iceland at all. They are the poetry of the "Western Islands."
-
-It was among the Scandinavian colonists of the British coasts that in
-the first generations after the colonization of Iceland therefrom a
-magnificent school of poetry arose, to which we owe works that for power
-and beauty can be paralleled in no Teutonic language till centuries
-after their date. To this school, which is totally distinct from the
-Icelandic, ran its own course apart and perished before the 13th
-century, the following works belong (of their authors we have scarcely a
-name or two; their dates can be rarely exactly fixed, but they lie
-between the beginning of the 9th and the end of the 10th centuries),
-classified into groups:--
-
- (a) The _Helgi_ trilogy (last third lost save a few verses, but
- preserved in prose in _Hromund Gripsson's Saga_), the _Raising of
- Anganty_ and _Death of Hialmar_ (in _Hervarar Saga_), the fragments of
- a _Volsung Lay_ (_Volsungakiraetha_) (part interpolated in earlier
- poems, part underlying the prose in _Volsunga Saga_), all by one poet,
- to whom Dr Vigfusson would also ascribe _Voluspa_, _Vegtamskvietha_,
- _Thrymskvietha_, _Grotta Song_ and _Volundarkvietha_.
-
- (b) The Dramatic Poems:--_Flyting of Loki_, the _For Skirnis_, the
- _Harbarethslioeth_ and several fragments, all one man's work, to whose
- school belong, probably, the _Lay_ underlying the story of Ivar's
- death in _Skioldunga Saga_.
-
- (c) The Didactic Poetry:--_Grimnismal_, _Vafpruethnismal_, _Alvissmal_,
- &c.
-
- (d) The Genealogical and Mythological Poems:--_Hyndluljoeth_ written for
- one of the Haurda-Kari family, so famous in the Orkneys; _Ynglingatal_
- and _Haustlong_, by Thiodolf of Hvin; _Rig's Thul_, &c.
-
- (e) The Dirges and Battle Songs--such as that on Hafur-firth Battle
- _Hrafnsmal_, by Thiodolf of Hvin or Thorbjorn Hornklofi, shortly after
- 870; Eirik's Dirge (_Eiriksmal_) between 950 and 969; the _Dart-Lay on
- Clontarf Battle_ (1014); _Biarka-mal_ (fragments of which we have, and
- paraphrase of more is found in _Hrolf Kraki's Saga_ and in Saxo).
-
- There are also fragments of poems in _Half's Saga_, _Asmund
- Kappa-Bana's Saga_, in the Latin verses of Saxo, and the Shield Lays
- (_Ragnarsdrapa_) by Bragi, &c., of this school, which closes with the
- _Sun-Song_, a powerful Christian Dantesque poem, recalling some of the
- early compositions of the Irish Church, and with the 12th-century _Lay
- of Ragnar_, _Lay of Starkad_, _The Proverb Song_ (_Havamal_) and
- _Krakumal_, to which we may add those singular Gloss-poems, the
- _Thulur_, which also belong to the Western Isles.
-
- To Greenland, Iceland's farthest colony, founded in the 10th century,
- we owe the two _Lays of Atli_, and probably _Hymiskvtietha_, which,
- though of a weirder, harsher cast, yet belong to the Western Isles
- school and not to Iceland.
-
-In form all these poems belong to two or three classes:--_kvietha_, an
-epic "cantilena"; _tal_, a genealogical poem; _drapa_, songs of praise,
-&c., written in modifications of the old Teutonic metre which we know in
-Beowulf; _galdr_ and _lokkr_, spell and charm songs in a more lyric
-measure; and _mal_, a dialogue poem, and _liod_, a lay, in elegiac
-measure suited to the subject.
-
-The characteristics of this Western school are no doubt the result of
-the contact of Scandinavian colonists of the viking-tide, living lives
-of the wildest adventure, with an imaginative and civilized race, that
-exercised upon them a very strong and lasting influence (the effects of
-which were also felt in Iceland, but in a different way). The frequent
-intermarriages which mingled the best families of either race are
-sufficient proof of the close communion of Northmen and Celts in the 9th
-and 10th centuries, while there are in the poems themselves traces of
-Celtic mythology, language and manners.[6]
-
-When one turns to the early poetry of the Scandinavian continent,
-preserved in the rune-staves on the memorial stones of Sweden, Norway
-and Denmark, in the didactic _Havamal_, the _Great Volsung Lay_ (i.e.
-Sigurd II., Fafnis's Lay, Sigrdrifa's Lay) and _Hamdismal_, all
-continental, and all entirely consonant to the remains of Old English
-poetry in metre, feeling and treatment, one can see that it is with this
-school that the Icelandic "makers" are in sympathy, and that from it
-their verse naturally descends. While shrewdness, plain
-straightforwardness, and a certain stern way of looking at life are
-common to both, the Icelandic school adds a complexity of structure and
-ornament, an elaborate mythological and enigmatical phraseology, and a
-regularity of rhyme, assonance, luxuriance, quantity and
-syllabification, which it caught from the Latin and Celtic poets, and
-adapted with exquisite ingenuity to its own main object, that of
-securing the greatest possible beauty of sound.
-
-The first generations of Icelandic poets resemble in many ways the later
-troubadours; the books of the kings and the sagas are full of their
-strange lives. Men of good birth (nearly always, too, of Celtic blood on
-one side at least), they leave Iceland young and attach themselves to
-the kings and earls of the north, living in their courts as their
-henchmen, sharing their adventures in weal and woe, praising their
-victories, and hymning their deaths if they did not fall by their
-sides--men of quick passion, unhappy in their loves, jealous of rival
-poets and of their own fame, ever ready to answer criticism with a
-satire or with a sword-thrust, but clinging through all to their art, in
-which they attained most marvellous skill.
-
-Such men were Egil, the foe of Eirik Bloodaxe and the friend of
-Aethelstan; Kormak, the hot-headed champion; Eyvind, King Haakon's poet,
-called Skaldaspillir, because he copied in his dirge over that king the
-older and finer _Eiriksmal_; Gunnlaug, who sang at Aethelred's court, and
-fell at the hands of a brother bard, Hrafn; Hallfred, Olaf Tryggvason's
-poet, who lies in Iona by the side of Macbeth; Sighvat, Saint Olafs
-henchman, most prolific of all his comrades; Thormod, Coalbrow's poet,
-who died singing after Sticklestad battle; Ref, Ottar the Black, Arnor
-the earls' poet, and, of those whose poetry was almost confined to
-Iceland, Gretti, Biorn the Hitdale champion, and the two model Icelandic
-masters, Einar Skulason and Markus the Lawman, both of the 12th century.
-
-It is impossible to do more here than mention the names of the most
-famous of the long roll of poets which are noted in the works of Snorri
-and in the two _Skalda-tal_. They range from the rough and noble pathos
-of Egil, the mystic obscurity of Kormak, the pride and grief of
-Hallfred, and the marvellous, fluency of Sighvat, to the florid
-intricacy of Einar and Markus.
-
-The art of poetry stood to the Icelanders in lieu of music; scarcely any
-prominent man but knew how to turn a mocking or laudatory stanza, and
-down to the fall of the commonwealth the accomplishment was in high
-request. In the literary age the chief poets belong to the great
-Sturlung family, Snorri and his two nephews, Sturla and Olaf, the White
-Poet, being the most famous "makers" of their day. Indeed, it is in
-Snorri's _Edda_, a poetic grammar of a very perfect kind, that the best
-examples of the whole of northern poetry are to be found. The last part,
-_Hattatal_, a treatise on metre, was written for Earl Skuli about 1222,
-in imitation of Earl Rognvald and Hall's _Hattalykill_ (_Clavis
-metrica_) of 1150. The second part, _Skaldskapar-mal_, a gradus of
-synonyms and epithets, which contains over 240 quotations from 65 poets,
-and 10 anonymous lays--a treasury of verse--was composed c. 1230. The
-first part, an exquisite sketch of northern mythology, _Gylfa-ginning_,
-was probably prefixed to the whole later. There is some of Sturla's
-poetry in his _Islendinga Saga_, and verses of Snorri occur in the
-_Grammatical Treatise_ on figures of speech, &c., of Olaf, which
-contains about one hundred and forty quotations from various authors,
-and was written about 1250.
-
-Besides those sources, the _Kings' Lives of Snorri_ and later authors
-contain a great deal of verse by Icelandic poets. King Harold
-Sigurdsson, who fell at Stamford Bridge 1066, was both a good critic and
-composed himself. Many tales are told of him and his poet visitors and
-henchmen. The Icelandic sagas also comprise much verse which is partly
-genuine, partly the work of the 12th and 13th century editors. Thus
-there are genuine pieces in _Nial's Saga_ (chaps. 34, 78, 103, 126,
-146), in _Eyrbyggia_, _Laxdaela_, _Egil's Saga_ (part only), _Grettla_
-(two and a half stanzas, cf. _Landnamabok_), _Biorn's Saga_, _Gunnlaug's
-Saga_, _Havard's Saga_, _Kormak's Saga_, _Viga-Glum's Saga_, _Erik the
-Red's Saga_ and _Fostbraedra Saga_. In _Nial's_, _Gisli's_ and
-_Droplaug's Sons' Sagas_ there is good verse of a later poet, and in
-many sagas worthless rubbish foisted in as ornamental.
-
-To these may be added two or three works of a semi-literary kind,
-composed by learned men, not by heroes and warriors. Such are
-_Konunga-tal_, _Hugsvinnsmal_ (a paraphrase of Cato's Distichs),
-_Merlin's Prophecy_ (paraphrased from Geoffrey of Monmouth by Gunnlaug
-the monk), _Jomsvikinga-drapa_ (by Bishop Ketil), and the
-_Islendinga-drapa_, which has preserved brief notices of several lost
-sagas concerning Icelandic worthies, with which _Gudmundar-drapa_,
-though of the 14th century, may be also placed.
-
-Just as the change of law gave the death-blow to an already perishing
-commonwealth, so the rush of medieval influence, which followed the
-union with Norway, completed a process which had been in force since the
-end of the 11th century, when it overthrew the old Icelandic poetry in
-favour of the rimur.
-
-The introduction of the _danz_, ballads (or _fornkvaedi_, as they are now
-called) for singing, with a burden, usually relating to a love-tale,
-which were immensely popular with the people and performed by whole
-companies at weddings, yule feasts and the like, had relegated the
-regular Icelandic poetry to more serious events or to the more
-cultivated of the chiefs. But these "jigs," as the Elizabethans would
-have called them, dissatisfied the popular ear in one way: they were,
-like old English ballads, which they closely resembled, in rhyme, but
-void of alliteration, and accordingly they were modified and replaced by
-the "rimur," the staple literary product of the 15th century. These were
-rhymed but also alliterative, in regular form, with prologue or
-_mansong_ (often the prettiest part of the whole), main portion telling
-the tale (mostly derived in early days from the French romances of the
-Carlovingian, Arthurian or Alexandrian cycles, or from the mythic or
-skrok-sogur), and epilogue. Their chief value to us lies in their having
-preserved versions of several French poems now lost, and in their
-evidence as to the feelings and bent of Icelanders in the "Dark Age" of
-the island's history. The ring and melody which they all possess is
-their chief beauty.
-
-Of the earliest, _Olafsrima_, by Einar Gilsson (c. 1350), and the best,
-the Aristophanic _Skida-rima_ (c. 1430), by Einar Fostri, the names may
-be given. Rimur on sacred subjects was called "diktur"; of these, on the
-legends of the saints' lives, many remain. The most notable of its class
-is the _Lilia_ of Eystein Asgrimsson, a monk of Holyfell (c. 1350), a
-most "sweet sounding song." Later the poems of the famous Jon Arason (b.
-1484), last Catholic bishop of Holar (c. 1530), _Liomr_ ("gleam") and
-_Pislargratr_ ("passion-tears"), deserve mention. Arason is also
-celebrated as having introduced printing into Iceland.
-
-Taste has sunk since the old days; but still this rimur poetry is
-popular and genuine. Moreover, the very prosaic and artificial verse of
-Sturla and the last of the old school deserved the oblivion which came
-over them, as a casual perusal of the stanzas scattered through
-_Islendinga_ will prove. It is interesting to notice that a certain
-number of _kenningar_ (poetical paraphrases) have survived from the old
-school even to the present day, though the mass of them have happily
-perished. The change in the _phonesis_ of the language is well
-illustrated by the new metres as compared with the old Icelandic
-_drott-kvaedi_ in its varied forms. Most of the older rimur and diktur
-are as yet unprinted. Many of the _fornkvaedi_ are printed in a volume of
-the old _Nordiske Litteralur-Samfund_.
-
-The effects of the Reformation was deeply felt in Icelandic literature,
-both prose and verse. The name of Hallgrim Petursson, whose
-_Passion-hymns_, "the flower of all Icelandic poetry," have been the
-most popular composition in the language, is foremost of all writers
-since the second change of faith. The gentle sweetness of thought, and
-the exquisite harmony of wording in his poems, more than justify the
-popular verdict. His _Hymns_ were finished in 1660 and published in
-1666, two great Protestant poets thus being contemporaries. A collection
-of Reformation hymns, adapted, many of them, from the German, the
-_Holar-book_, had preceded them in 1619. There was a good deal of
-verse-writing of a secular kind, far inferior in every way, during this
-period. In spite of the many physical distresses that weighed upon the
-island, ballads (_fornkvaedi_) were still written, ceasing about 1750,
-rimur composed, and more elaborate compositions published.
-
-The most notable names are those of the improvisatore Stephen the
-Blind; Thorlak Gudbrandsson, author of _Ulfar-Rimur_, d. 1707; John
-Magnusson, who wrote _Hristafla_, a didactic poem; Stefan Olafsson,
-composer of psalms, rimur, &c., d. 1688; Gunnar Palsson, the author of
-_Gunnarslag_, often printed with the Eddic poems, c. 1791; and Eggert
-Olafsson, traveller, naturalist and patriot, whose untimely death in
-1768 was a great loss to his country. His _Bunadar-balkr_, a Georgic
-written, like Tusser's _Points_, with a practical view of raising the
-state of agriculture, has always been much prized. Paul Vidalin's
-ditties are very naive and clever.
-
-Of later poets, down to more recent times, perhaps the best was Sigurd
-of Broadfirth, many of whose prettiest poems were composed in Greenland
-like those of Jon Biarnisson before him, c. 1750; John Thorlaksson's
-translation of Milton's great epic into Eddic verse is praiseworthy in
-intention, but, as may be imagined, falls far short of its aim. He also
-turned Pope's _Essay on Man_ and Klopstock's _Messiah_ into Icelandic.
-Benedikt Grondal tried the same experiment with Homer in his _Ilion's
-Kvaedi_, c. 1825. There is a fine prose translation of the _Odyssey_ by
-Sweinbjorn Egillson, the lexicographer, both faithful and poetic in high
-degree.
-
-_Sagas._--The real strength of ancient Icelandic literature is shown in
-its most indigenous growth, the "Saga" (see also SAGA). This is, in its
-purest form, the life of a hero, composed in regular form, governed by
-fixed rules, and intended for oral recitation. It bears the strongest
-likeness to the epic in all save its unversified form; in both are
-found, as fixed essentials, simplicity of plot, chronological order of
-events, set phrases used even in describing the restless play of emotion
-or the changeful fortunes of a fight or a storm, while in both the
-absence of digression, comment or intrusion of the narrator's person is
-invariably maintained. The saga grew up in the quieter days which
-followed the change of faith (1002), when the deeds of the great
-families' heroes were still cherished by their descendants, and the
-exploits of the great kings of Norway and Denmark handed down with
-reverence. Telling of stories was a recognized form of entertainment at
-all feasts and gatherings, and it was the necessity of the reciter which
-gradually worked them into a regular form, by which the memory was
-relieved and the artistic features of the story allowed to be more
-carefully elaborated. That this form was so perfect must be attributed
-to Irish influence, without which indeed there would have been a saga,
-but not the same saga. It is to the west that the best sagas belong; it
-is to the west that nearly every classic writer whose name we know
-belongs; and it is precisely in the west that the admixture of Irish
-blood is greatest. In comparing the Irish tales with the saga, there
-will be felt deep divergencies in matter, style and taste, the richness
-of one contrasting with the chastened simplicity of the other; the one's
-half-comic, half-earnest bombast is wholly unlike the other's grim
-humour; the marvellous, so unearthly in the one, is almost credible in
-the other; but in both are the keen grasp of character, the biting
-phrase, the love of action and the delight in blood which almost assumes
-the garb of a religious passion.
-
-When the saga had been fixed by a generation or two of oral reciters, it
-was written down; and this stereotyped the form, so that afterwards when
-literary works were composed by learned men (such as Abbot Karl's
-_Swerri's Saga_ and Sturla's _Islendinga_) the same style was adopted.
-
-
- Icelandic sagas.
-
-Taking first the sagas relating to Icelanders, of which some thirty-five
-or forty remain out of thrice that number, they were first written down
-between 1140 and 1220, in the generation which succeeded Ari and felt
-the impulse his books had given to writing, on separate scrolls, no
-doubt mainly for the reciter's convenience; they then went through the
-different phases which such popular compositions have to pass in all
-lands--editing and compounding (1220-1260), padding and amplifying
-(1260-1300), and finally collection in large MSS. (14th century). Sagas
-exist showing all these phases, some primitive and rough, some refined
-and beautified, some diluted and weakened, according as their copyists
-have been faithful, artistic or foolish; for the first generation of
-MSS. have all perished. We have also complex sagas put together in the
-13th century out of the scrolls relating to a given locality, such a
-group as still exists untouched in _Vapnfirdinga_ being fused into such
-a saga as _Niala_ or _Laxdaela_. Of the authors nothing is known; we can
-only guess that some belong to the Sturlung school. According to subject
-they fall into two classes, those relating to the older generation
-before Christianity and those telling of St Olaf's contemporaries; only
-two fall into a third generation.
-
-Beginning with the sagas of the west, most perfect in style and form,
-the earliest in subject is that of _Gold-Thori_ (c. 930), whose
-adventurous career it relates; _Hensa-Thorissaga_ tells of the burning of
-Blund-Ketil, a noble chief, an event which led to Thord Gelli's reforms
-next year (c. 964); _Gislasaga_ (960-980) tells of the career and death
-of that ill-fated outlaw; it is beautifully written, and the verses by
-the editor (13th century) are good and appropriate; _Hord's Saga_ (980)
-is the life of a band of outlaws on Whalesfirth, and especially of their
-leader Hord. Of later subject are the sagas of _Havard_ and his revenge
-for his son, murdered by a neighbouring chief (997-1002); of the
-_Heietharirgasaga_ (990-1014), a typical tale of a great blood feud,
-written in the most primitive prose; of Gunnlaug and Hrafn
-(_Gunnlaugssaga Ormstungu_, 980-1008), the rival poets and their
-ill-starred love. The verse in this saga is important and interesting.
-To the west also belong the three great complex sagas _Egla_,
-_Eyrbyggia_ and _Laxdaela_. The first (870-980), after noticing the
-migration of the father and grandfather of the hero poet Egil, and the
-origin of the feud between them and the kings of Norway, treats fully of
-Egil's career, his enmity with Eirik Bloodaxe, his service with
-Aethelstan, and finally, after many adventures abroad, of his latter days
-in Iceland at Borg, illustrating very clearly what manner of men those
-great settlers and their descendants were, and the feelings of pride and
-freedom which led them to Iceland. The style is that of Snorri, who had
-himself dwelt at Borg. _Eyrbyggia_ (890-1031) is the saga of politics,
-the most loosely woven of all the compound stories. It includes a mass
-of information on the law, religion, traditions, &c., of the heathen
-days in Iceland, and the lives of Eric, the real discoverer of
-Greenland, Biorn of Broadwick, a famous chief, and Snorri, the greatest
-statesman of his day. Dr Vigfusson would ascribe its editing and
-completion to Sturla the Lawman, c. 1250. _Laxdaela_ (910-1026) is the
-saga of Romance. Its heroine Gudrun is the most famous of all Icelandic
-ladies. Her love for Kiartan the poet, and his career abroad, his
-betrayal by his friend Bolli, the sad death of Kiartan at his hands, the
-revenge taken for him on Bolli, whose slayers are themselves afterwards
-put to death, and the end of Gudrun, who becomes an anchorite after her
-stormy life, make up the pith of the story. The contrast of the
-characters, the rich style and fine dialogue which are so remarkable in
-this saga, have much in common with the best works of the Sturlung
-school.
-
-Of the north there are the sagas of _Kormak_ (930-960), most primitive
-of all, a tale of a wild poet's love and feuds, containing many notices
-of the heathen times; of _Vatzdaelasaga_ (890-980), relating to the
-settlement and the chief family in Waterdale; of _Hallfred_ the poet
-(996-1014), narrating his fortune at King Olafs court, his love affairs
-in Iceland, and finally his death and burial at Iona; of _Reyk-daela_
-(990), which preserves the lives of Askell and his son Viga-Skuti; of
-_Svarf-daela_ (980-990), a cruel, coarse story of the old days, with some
-good scenes in it, unfortunately imperfect, chapters 1-10 being forged;
-of _Viga-Glum_ (970-990), a fine story of a heathen hero, brave, crafty
-and cruel. To the north also belong the sagas of _Gretti_ the Strong
-(1010-1031), the life and death of the most famous of Icelandic outlaws,
-the real story of whose career is mixed up with the mythical adventures
-of Beowulf, here put down to Gretti, and with late romantic episodes and
-fabulous folk-tales (Dr Vigfusson would ascribe the best parts of this
-saga to Sturla; its last editor, whose additions would be better away,
-must have touched it up about 1300), and the stories of the
-_Ljosvetningasaga_ (1009-1060). Gudmund the Mighty and his family and
-neighbours are the heroes of these tales, which form a little cycle.
-The _Banda-manna saga_ (1050-1060), the only comedy among the sagas, is
-also a northern tale; it relates the struggles of a plebeian who gets a
-chieftancy against the old families of the neighbourhood, whom he
-successfully outwits; _Ol-kofra thattr_ is a later imitation of it in the
-same humorous strain. The sagas of the north are rougher and coarser
-than those of the west, but have a good deal of individual character.
-
-Of tales relating to the east there survive the Weapon-firth cycle--the
-tales of _Thorstein the White_ (c. 900), of _Thorstein the Staffsmitten_
-(c. 985), of _Gunnar Thidrand's Bane_ (1000-1008) and of the
-_Weapon-firth Men_ (975-990), all relating to the family of Hof and
-their friends and kin for several generations--and the story of
-_Hrafnkell Frey's Priest_ (c. 960), the most idyllic of sagas and best
-of the eastern tales. Of later times there are _Droplaug's Sons' Saga_
-(997-1007), written probably about 1110, and preserved in the uncouth
-style of the original (a brother's revenge for his brother's death is
-the substance of it; _Brandkrossa Thattr_ is an appendix to it), and the
-tales of _Thorstein Hall of Side's Son_ (c. 1014) and his brother
-_Thidrandi_ (c. 996), which belong to the cycle of _Hall o' Side's
-Saga_, unhappily lost; they are weird tales of bloodshed and magic, with
-idyllic and pathetic episodes.
-
-The sagas of the south are either lost or absorbed in that of _Nial_
-(970-1014), a long and complex story into which are woven the tales of
-_Gunnar Nial_, and parts of others, as _Brian Boroimhe_, _Hall o' Side_,
-&c. It is, whether we look at style, contents or legal and historical
-weight, the foremost of all sagas. It deals especially with law, and
-contains the pith and the moral of all early Icelandic history. Its hero
-Nial, type of the good lawyer, is contrasted with its villain Mord, the
-ensample of cunning, chicane, and legal wrong doing; and a great part of
-the saga is taken up with the three cases and suits of the divorce, the
-death of Hoskuld and the burning of Nial, which are given with great
-minuteness. The number and variety of its dramatis personae give it the
-liveliest interest throughout. The women Hallgerda, Bergthora and
-Ragnhild are as sharply contrasted as the men Gunnar, Skarphedin, Flosi
-and Kari. The pathos of such tragedies as the death of Gunnar and
-Hoskuld and the burning is interrupted by the humour of the Althing
-scenes and the intellectual interest of the legal proceedings. The plot
-dealing first with the life and death of Gunnar, type of the chivalry of
-his day, then with the burning of Nial by Flosi, and how it came about,
-and lastly with Kari's revenge on the burners, is the ideal saga-plot.
-The author must have been of the east, a good lawyer and genealogist,
-and have composed it about 1250, to judge from internal evidence. It has
-been overworked by a later editor, c. 1300, who inserted many spurious
-verses.
-
-
- Of Greenland and North America.
-
-Relating partly to Iceland, but mostly to Greenland and Vinland (N.
-America), are the _Floamannasaga_ (985-990), a good story of the
-adventures of Thorgils and of the struggles of shipwrecked colonists in
-Greenland, a graphic and terrible picture; and _Eirikssaga rauetha_
-(990-1000), two versions, one northern (Flatey-book), one western, the
-better (in _Hawk's Book_, and AM. 557), the story of the discovery of
-Greenland and Vinland (America) by the Icelanders at the end of the 9th
-century. Later is the _Fostbraedrasaga_ (1015-1030), a very interesting
-story, told in a quaint romantic style, of Thorgeir, the reckless
-henchman of King Olaf, and how his death was revenged in Greenland by
-his sworn brother the true-hearted Thormod Coalbrow's poet, who
-afterward dies at Sticklestad. The tale of _Einar Sookisson_ (c. 1125)
-may also be noticed. The lost saga of _Poet Helgi_, of which only
-fragments remain, was also laid in Greenland.
-
-Besides complete sagas there are embedded in the _Heimskringla_ numerous
-small _Thaettir_ or episodes, small tales of Icelanders' adventures, often
-relating to poets and their lives at the kings' courts; one or two of
-these seem to be fragments of sagas now lost. Among the more notable are
-those of _Orm Storolfsson_, _Ogmund Dijtt_, _Halldor Snorrason_,
-_Thorstein Oxfoot_, _Hromund Halt_, _Thorwald Tasaldi_, _Svadi_ and
-_Arnor Herlingar-nef_, _Audunn of Westfirth_, _Sneglu-Halli_, _Hrafn of
-Hrutfiord_, _Hreidar Heimski_, _Gisli Illugison_, _Ivar_ the poet,
-_Gull-Aesu Thord_, _Einar Skulason_ the poet, _Mani_ the poet, &c.
-
-The forged Icelandic sagas appear as early as the 13th century. They are
-very poor, and either worked up on hints given in genuine stories or
-altogether apocryphal.
-
-_History._--About the year of the battle of Hastings was born Ari Froethi
-Thorgilsson (1067-1148), one of the blood of Queen Aud, who founded the
-famous historical school of Iceland, and himself produced its greatest
-monument in a work which can be compared for value with the English
-Domesday Book. Nearly all that we know of the heathen commonwealth may
-be traced to the collections of Ari. It was he too that fixed the style
-in which history should be composed in Iceland. It was he that secured
-and put into order the vast mass of fragmentary tradition that was
-already dying out in his day. And perhaps it is the highest praise of
-all to him that he wrote in his own "Danish tongue," and so ensured the
-use of that tongue by the cultured of after generations. Ari's great
-works are _Konungabok_, or _The Book of Kings_, relating the history of
-the kings of Norway from the rise of the Yngling dynasty down to the
-death of Harald Sigurdsson in the year of his own birth. This book he
-composed from the dictation of old men such as Odd Kolsson, from the
-genealogical poems, and from the various dirges, battle-songs and
-eulogia of the poets. It is most probable that he also compiled shorter
-_Kings' Books_ relating to Denmark and perhaps to England. The
-_Konungabok_ is preserved under the _Heimskringla_ of Snorri Sturloson,
-parts of it almost as they came from Ari's hands, for example _Ynglinga_
-and _Harald Fairhair's Saga_, and the prefaces stating the plan and
-critical foundations of the work, parts of it only used as a framework
-for the magnificent superstructure of the lives of the two Olafs, and of
-Harald Hardrada and his nephew Magnus the Good. The best text of Ari's
-_Konungabok_ (_Ynglinga_, and the sagas down to but not including Olaf
-Tryggvason's) is that of _Frisbok_.
-
-The _Book of Settlements_ (_Landnamabok_) is a wonderful performance,
-both in its scheme and carrying out. It is divided into five parts, the
-first of which contains a brief account of the discovery of the island;
-the other four, one by one taking a quarter of the land, describe the
-name, pedigree and history of each settler in geographical order, notice
-the most important facts in the history of his descendants, the names of
-their homesteads, their courts and temples, thus including mention of
-4000 persons, one-third of whom are women, and 2000 places. The mass of
-information contained in so small a space, the clearness and accuracy of
-the details, the immense amount of life which is breathed into the
-whole, astonish the reader, when he reflects that this colossal task was
-accomplished by one man, for his collaborator Kolsegg merely filled up
-his plan with regard to part of the east coast, a district with which
-Ari in his western home at Stad was little familiar. _Landnamabok_ has
-reached us in two complete editions, one edited by Sturla, who brought
-down the genealogies to his own grandfather and grandmother, Sturla and
-Gudny, and one by Hawk, who traces the pedigrees still later to himself.
-
-Ari also wrote a _Book of Icelanders_ (_Islendingabok_, c. 1127), which
-has perished as a whole, but fragments of it are embedded in many sagas
-and _Kings' Lives_; it seems to have been a complete epitome of his
-earlier works, together with an account of the constitutional history,
-ecclesiastical and civil, of Iceland. An abridgment of the latter part
-of it, the little _Libellus Islandorum_ (to which the title of the
-bigger _Liber--Islendingabok_--is often given), was made by the
-historian for his friends Bishops Ketil and Thorlak, for whom he wrote
-the _Liber_ (c. 1137). This charming little book is, with the much later
-collections of laws, our sole authority for the Icelandic constitution
-of the commonwealth, but, "much as it tells, the lost _Liber_ would have
-been of still greater importance." _Kristni-Saga_, the story of the
-christening of Iceland, is also a work of Ari's, "overlaid" by a later
-editor, but often preserving Ari's very words. This saga, together with
-several scattered tales of early Christians in Iceland before the change
-of faith (1002), may have made up a section of the lost _Liber_. Of the
-author of these works little is known. He lived in quiet days a quiet
-life; but he shows himself in his works, as Snorri describes him, "a man
-wise, of good memory and a speaker of the truth." If Thucydides is
-justly accounted the first political historian, Ari may be fitly styled
-the first of scientific historians.
-
-A famous contemporary and friend of Ari is Saemund (1056-1131), a great
-churchman, whose learning so impressed his age that he got the
-reputation of a magician. He was the friend of Bishop John, the founder
-of the great Odd-Verjar family, and the author of a _Book of Kings_ from
-Harald Fairhair to Magnus the Good, in which he seems to have fixed the
-exact chronology of each reign. It is most probable that he wrote in
-Latin. The idea that he had anything to do with the poetic _Edda_ in
-general, or the _Sun's Song_ in particular, is unfounded.
-
-The flame which Ari had kindled was fed by his successors in the 12th
-century. Eirik Oddsson (c. 1150) wrote the lives of Sigurd Evil-deacon
-and the sons of Harold Gille, in his _Hryggiar-Stykki_ (Sheldrake), of
-which parts remain in the MSS. collections of _Kings' Lives_,
-_Morkin-skinna_, &c. Karl Jonsson, abbot of Thingore, the Benedictine
-minister, wrote (c. 1184) _Sverrissaga_ from the lips of that great
-king, a fine racy biography, with a style and spirit of its own.
-_Boglunga-Sogur_ tell the story of the civil wars which followed
-Sverri's death. They are probably by a contemporary.
-
-The Latin _Lives of St Olaf_, Odd's in Latin (c. 1175), compiled from
-original authorities, and the _Legendary Life_, by another monk whose
-name is lost, are of the medieval Latin school of Saemund to which
-Gunnlaug belonged.
-
-Snorri Sturlason (q.v.) was known to his contemporaries as a statesman
-and poet; to us he is above all an historian. Snorri (1179-1241) wrote
-the _Lives of the Kings_ (_Heimskringla_), from Olaf Tryggvason to
-Sigurd the Crusader inclusive; and we have them substantially as they
-came from his hand in the _Great King Olaf's Saga_; _St Olaf's Saga_, as
-in _Heimskringla_ and the Stockholm MS.; and the succeeding _Kings'
-Lives_, as in Hulda and Hrokkinskinna, in which, however, a few episodes
-have been inserted.
-
-These works were indebted for their facts to Ari's labours, and to sagas
-written since Ari's death; but the style and treatment of them are
-Snorri's own. The fine Thucydidean speeches, the dramatic power of
-grasping character, and the pathos and poetry that run through the
-stories, along with a humour such as is shown in the _Edda_, and a
-varied grace of style that never flags or palls, make Snorri one of the
-greatest of historians.
-
-Here it should be noticed that _Heimskringla_ and its class of MSS.
-(_Eirspennil_, _Jofraskinna_, _Gullinskinna_, _Fris-bok_ and _Kringla_)
-do not give the full text of Snorri's works. They are abridgments made
-in Norway by Icelanders for their Norwegian patrons, the _Life of St
-Olaf_ alone being preserved intact, for the great interest of the
-Norwegians lay in him, but all the other _Kings' Lives_ being more or
-less mutilated, so that they cannot be trusted for historic purposes;
-nor do they give a fair idea of Snorri's style.
-
-_Agrip_ is a 12th-century compendium of the _Kings' Lives_ from Harald
-Fairhair to Sverri, by a scholastic writer of the school of Saemund. As
-the only Icelandic abridgment of Norwegian history taken not from Snorri
-but sources now lost, it is of worth. Its real title is _Konunga-tal_.
-
-_Noregs Konunga-tal_, now called _Fagrskinna_, is a Norse compendium of
-the _Kings' Lives_ from Halfdan the Black to Sverri's accession,
-probably written for King Haakon, to whom it was read on his death-bed.
-It is an original work, and contains much not found elsewhere. As
-non-Icelandic it is only noticed here for completeness.
-
-Styrmi Karason, a contemporary of Snorri's, dying in 1245, was a
-distinguished churchman (lawman twice) and scholar. He wrote a _Life of
-St Olaf_, now lost; his authority is cited. He also copied out
-_Landnamabok_ and _Sverri's Life_ from his MSS., of which surviving
-copies were taken.
-
-Sturla, Snorri's nephew, wrote the _Hakonssaga_ and _Magnussaga_ at the
-request of King Magnus, finishing the first c. 1265, the latter c.
-1280. King Haakon's Life is preserved in full; of the other only
-fragments remain. These are the last of the series of historic works
-which Ari's labours began, from which the history of Norway for 500
-years must be gathered.
-
-A few books relating the history of other Scandinavian realms will
-complete this survey. In _Skioldunga-bok_ was told the history of the
-early kings of Denmark, perhaps derived from Ari's collections, and
-running parallel to _Ynglinga_. The earlier part of it has perished save
-a fragment _Sogu-brot_, and citations and paraphrases in Saxo, and the
-mythical _Ragnar Lodbrok's_ and _Gongu-Hrolf's Sagas_; the latter part,
-_Lives of Harold Bluetooth and the Kings down to Sveyn II._, is still in
-existence and known as _Skioldunga_.
-
-The _Knutssaga_ is of later origin and separate authorships, parallel to
-Snorri's _Heimskringla_, but earlier in date. The _Lives of King
-Valdemar and his Son_, written c. 1185, by a contemporary of Abbot
-Karl's, are the last of this series. The whole were edited and compiled
-into one book, often quoted as _Skioldunga_, by a 13th-century editor,
-possibly Olaf, the White Poet, Sturla's brother, guest and friend of
-King Valdemar II. _Jomsvikinga Saga_, the history of the pirates of Jom,
-down to Knut the Great's days, also relates to Danish history.
-
-The complex work now known as _Orkneyinga_ is made up of the _Earls'
-Saga_, lives of the first great earls, Turf-Einar, Thorfinn, &c.; the
-_Life of St Magnus_, founded partly on Abbot Robert's Latin life of him
-(c. 1150) an Orkney work, partly on Norse or Icelandic biographies; a
-_Mirade-book_ of the same saint; the _Lives of Earl Rognwald and Sveyn_,
-the last of the vikings, and a few episodes such as the _Burning of
-Bishop Adam_. A scholastic sketch of the rise of the Scandinavian
-empire, the _Foundation of Norway_, dating c. 1120, is prefixed to the
-whole.
-
-_Faereyinga_ tells the tale of the conversion of the Faereys or Faroes,
-and the lives of its chiefs Sigmund and Leif, composed in the 13th
-century from their separate sagas by an Icelander of the Sturlung
-school.
-
-_Biographies._--The saga has already been shown in two forms, its
-original epic shape and its later development applied to the lives of
-Norwegian and Danish kings and earls, as heroic but deeper and broader
-subjects than before. In the 13th century it is put to a third use, to
-tell the plain story of men's lives for their contemporaries, after
-satisfying which demand it dies away for ever.
-
-These biographies are more literary and medieval and less poetic than
-the Icelandic sagas and king's lives; their simplicity, truth, realism
-and purity of style are the same. They run in two parallel streams, some
-being concerned with chiefs and champions, some with bishops. The former
-are mostly found embedded in the complex mass of stories known as
-_Sturlunga_, from which Dr Vigfusson has extricated them, and for the
-first time set them in order. Among them are the sagas of _Thorgils and
-Haflidi_ (1118-1121), the feud and peacemaking of two great chiefs,
-contemporaries of Ari; of _Sturla_ (1150-1183), the founder of the great
-Sturlung family, down to the settlement of his great lawsuit by Jon
-Loptsson, who thereupon took his son Snorri the historian to
-fosterage,--a humorous story but with traces of the decadence about it,
-and glimpses of the evil days that were to come; of the
-_Onundar-brennusaga_ (1185-1200), a tale of feud and fire-raising in the
-north of the island, the hero of which, Gudmund Dyri, goes at last into
-a cloister; of _Hrafn Sveinbiornsson_ (1190-1213), the noblest Icelander
-of his day, warrior, leech, seaman, craftsman, poet and chief, whose
-life at home, travels and pilgrimages abroad (Hrafn was one of the first
-to visit Becket's shrine), and death at the hands of a foe whom he had
-twice spared, are recounted by a loving friend in pious memory of his
-virtues, c. 1220; of _Aron Hiorleifsson_ (1200-1255), a man whose
-strength, courage and adventures befit rather a henchman of Olaf
-Tryggvason than one of King Haakon's thanes (the beginning of the feuds
-that rise round Bishop Gudmund are told here), of the _Svinefell-men_
-(1248-1252), a pitiful story of a family feud in the far east of
-Iceland.
-
-But the most important works of this class are the _Islendinga Saga_ and
-_Thorgils Saga_ of Lawman Sturla. Sturla and his brother Olaf were the
-sons of Thord Sturlason and his mistress Thora. Sturla was born and
-brought up in prosperous times, but his manhood was passed in the midst
-of strife, in which his family fell one by one, and he himself, though a
-peaceful man who cared little for politics, was more than once forced to
-fly for his life. While in refuge with King Magnus, in Norway, he wrote
-his two sagas of that king and his father. After his first stay in
-Norway he came back in 1271, with the new Norse law-book, and served a
-second time as lawman. The _Islendinga_ must have been the work of his
-later years, composed at Fairey in Broadfirth, where he died, 30th July
-1284, aged about seventy years. The saga of _Thorgils Skardi_
-(1252-1261) seems to have been the first of his works on Icelandic
-contemporary history; it deals with the life of his own nephew,
-especially his career in Iceland from 1252 to 1258. The second part of
-_Islendinga_ (1242-1262), which relates to the second part of the civil
-war, telling of the careers of Thord Kakali, Kolbein the Young, Earl
-Gizur and Hrafn Oddsson. The end is imperfect, there being a blank of
-some years before the fragmentary ending to which an editor has affixed
-a notice of the author's death. The first part of _Islendinga_
-(1202-1242) tells of the beginning and first part of the civil wars, the
-lives of Snorri and Sighvat, Sturla's uncles, of his cousin and namesake
-Sturla Sighvatsson, of Bishop Gudmund, and Thorwald Gizursson,--the fall
-of the Sturlungs, and with them the last hopes of the great houses to
-maintain the commonwealth, being the climax of the story.
-
-Sturla's power lies in his faithfulness to nature, minute observance of
-detail and purity of style. The great extent of his subject, and the
-difficulty of dealing with it in the saga form, are most skilfully
-overcome; nor does he allow prejudice or favour to stand in the way of
-the truth. He ranks below Ari in value and below Snorri in power; but no
-one else can dispute his place in the first rank of Icelandic writers.
-
-Of the ecclesiastical biographers, an anonymous Skalholt clerk is the
-best. He wrote _Hungrvaka_, lives of the first five bishops of Skalholt,
-and biographies of his patron Bishop Paul (_Palssaga_) and also of St
-Thorlak (_Thorlakssaga_). They are full of interesting notices of social
-and church life. Thorlak was a learned man, and had studied at Paris and
-Lincoln, which he left in 1161. These lives cover the years 1056-1193.
-The life of St John, a great reformer, a contemporary of Thorodd, whom
-he employed to build a church for him, is by another author (1052-1121).
-The life of Gudmund (_Gudmundar Saga Goda_), as priest, recounts the
-early life of this Icelandic Becket till his election as bishop
-(1160-1202); his after career must be sought out in _Islendinga_. It is
-written by a friend and contemporary. A later life by Arngrim, abbot of
-Thingore, written c. 1350, as evidence of his subject's sanctity, tells
-a good deal about Icelandic life, &c. The lives of Bishops Arni and
-Lawrence bring down our knowledge of Icelandic history into the 14th
-century. The former work, _Arna Saga Biskups_, is imperfect; it is the
-record of the struggles of church and state over patronage rights and
-glebes, written c. 1315; it now covers only the years 1269-1291; a great
-many documents are given in it, after the modern fashion. The latter,
-_Laurentius Saga Biskups_, by his disciple, priest Einar Haflidason, is
-a charming biography of a good and pious man, whose chequered career in
-Norway and Iceland is picturesquely told (1324-1331). It is the last of
-the sagas. _Bishop Jon's Table-Talk_ (1325-1339) is also worth noticing;
-it contains many popular stories which the good bishop, who had studied
-at Bologna and Paris, was wont to tell to his friends.
-
-_Annals._--The _Annals_ are now almost the sole material for Icelandic
-history; they had begun earlier, but after 1331 they got fuller and
-richer, till they end in 1430. The best are _Annales Regii_, ending
-1306, _Einar Haflidason's Annals_, known as "Lawman's Annals," reaching
-to 1392, and preserved with others in _Flatey-book_, and the _New
-Annals_, last of all. The _Diplomatarium Islandicum_, edited by Jon
-Sigurdsson, contains what remains of deeds, inventories, letters, &c.,
-from the old days, completing our scanty material for this dark period
-of the island's history.
-
-_Literature of Foreign Origin._--After the union with Norway and change
-of law genuine tradition died out with the great houses. The ordinary
-medieval literature reached Iceland through Norway, and every one began
-to put it into a vernacular dress, so neglecting their own classics that
-but for a few collectors like Lawman Hauk they would have perished
-entirely.
-
-The Norwegian kings, Haakon Haakonson (c. 1225), and Haakon V. (c.
-1305), employed Icelanders at their courts in translating the French
-romances of the Alexander, Arthur and Charlemagne cycles. Some forty or
-fifty of these _Riddara-Sogur_ (Romances of Chivalry) remain. They
-reached Iceland and were eagerly read, many Rimur being founded on them.
-Norse versions of _Mary of Brittany's Lays_, the stories of _Brutus_ and
-of _Troy_, and part of the _Pharsalia_ translated are also found. The
-_Speculum Regale_, with its interesting geographical and social
-information, is also Norse, written c. 1240, by a Halogalander. The
-computistic and arithmetical treatises of Stiorn-Odd, Biarni the
-Number-skilled (d. 1173), and Hauk Erlendsson the Lawman (d. 1334), and
-the geography of Ivar Bardsson, a Norwegian (c. 1340), are of course of
-foreign origin. A few tracts on geography, &c., in Hauk's book, and a
-_Guide to the Holy Land_, by Nicholas, abbot of Thwera (d. 1158),
-complete the list of scientific works.
-
-The stories which contain the last lees of the old mythology and
-pre-history seem to be also non-Icelandic, but amplified by Icelandic
-editors, who probably got the plots from the Western Islands. _Volsunga
-Saga_ and _Hervarar Saga_ contain quotations and paraphrases of lays by
-the Helgi poet, and _Half's_, _Ragnar's_ and _Asmund Kappabana's Sagas_
-all have bits of Western poetry in them. _Hrolf Kraki's Saga_
-paraphrases part of _Biarkamal_; _Hromund Gripsson's_ gives the story of
-Helgi and Kara (the lost third of the Helgi trilogy); _Gautrek's Arrow
-Odd's_, _Frithiof's Sagas_, &c., contain shreds of true tradition amidst
-a mass of later fictitious matter of no worth. With the _Riddara-Sogur_
-they enjoyed great popularity in the 15th century, and gave matter for
-many Rimur. _Thidrek's Saga_, a late version of the Volsung story, is of
-Norse composition (c. 1230), from North German sources.
-
-The medieval religious literature of Western Europe also influenced
-Iceland, and the _Homilies_ (like the _Laws_) were, according to
-Thorodd, the earliest books written in the vernacular, antedating even
-Ari's histories. The lives of the _Virgin_, the _Apostles_ and the
-_Saints_ fill many MSS. (edited in four large volumes by Professor
-Unger), and are the works of many authors, chiefly of the 13th and 14th
-centuries; amongst them are the lives of _SS. Edward the Confessor_,
-_Oswald of Northumbria_, _Dunstan_ and _Thomas of Canterbury_. Of the
-authors we know Priest Berg Gunsteinsson (d. 1211); Kygri-Biorn,
-bishop-elect (d. 1237); Bishop Brand (d. 1264); Abbot Runolf (d. 1307);
-Bishop Lawrence's son Arni (c. 1330); Abbot Berg (c. 1340), &c. A
-paraphrase of the historical books of the Bible was made by Bishop Brand
-(d. 1264), called _Gydinga Sogur_. About 1310 King Haakon V. ordered a
-commentary on the Bible to be made, which was completed down to Exodus
-xix. To this Brand's work was afterwards affixed, and the whole is known
-as _Stiorn_. The Norse version of the famous _Barlaam and Josaphat_,
-made for Prince Haakon (c. 1240), must not be forgotten.
-
-_Post-classical Literature._--The post-classical literature falls
-chiefly under three heads--religious, literary and scientific. Under the
-first comes foremost the noble translation of the New Testament by Odd
-Gottskalksson, son of the bishop of Holar. Brought up in Norway, he
-travelled in Denmark and Germany, and took upon him the new faith before
-he returned to Iceland, where he became secretary to Bishop Ogmund of
-Skalholt. Here he began by translating the Gospel of Matthew into his
-mother-tongue in secret. Having finished the remainder of the New
-Testament at his own house at Olves, he took it to Denmark, where it was
-printed at Roskild in 1540. Odd afterwards translated the Psalms, and
-several devotional works of the day, Corvinus's _Epistles_, &c. He was
-made lawman of the north and west, and died from a fall in the Laxa in
-Kios, June 1556. Three years after his death the first press was set up
-in Iceland by John Matthewson, at Breidabolstad, in Hunafloe, and a
-_Gospel and Epistle Book_, according to Odd's version, issued from it
-in 1562. In 1584 Bishop Gudbrand, who had brought over a splendid fount
-of type from Denmark in 1575 (which he completed with his own hands),
-printed a translation of the whole Bible at Holar, incorporating Odd's
-versions and some books (Proverbs and the Son of Sirach, 1580)
-translated by Bishop Gizar, but supplying most of the Old Testament
-himself. This fine volume was the basis of every Bible issued for
-Iceland till 1826, when it was replaced by a bad modern version. For
-beauty of language and faithful simplicity of style the finer parts of
-this version, especially the New Testament, have never been surpassed.
-
-The most notable theological work Iceland ever produced is the
-_Postill-Book_ of Bishop John Vidalin (1666-1720), whose bold homely
-style and stirring eloquence made "John's Book," as it is lovingly
-called, a favourite in every household, till in the 19th century it was
-replaced for the worse by the more sentimental and polished Danish
-tracts and sermons. Theological literature is very popular, and many
-works on this subject, chiefly translations, will be found in the lists
-of Icelandic bibliographers.
-
-The first modern scientific work is the _Iter per patriam_ of Eggert
-Olafsson and Biarni Paulsson, which gives an account of the physical
-peculiarities--fauna, flora, &c.--of the island as far as could be done
-at the date of its appearance, 1772. The island was first made known to
-"the world" by this book and by the sketch of Unno von Troil, a Swede,
-who accompanied Sir Joseph Banks to Iceland in 1772, and afterwards
-wrote a series of "letters" on the land and its literature, &c. This
-tour was the forerunner of an endless series of "travels," of which
-those of Sir W. J. Hooker, Sir G. S. Mackenzie (1810), Ebenezer
-Henderson (1818), Joseph Paul Gaimard (1838-1843), Paijkull (1867) and,
-lastly, that of Sir Richard Burton, an excellent account of the land and
-people, crammed with information of every kind (1875), are the best.
-
-Iceland is emphatically a land of proverbs, while of folk-tales, those
-other keys to the people's heart, there is plentiful store. Early work
-in this direction was done by Jon Gudmundsson, Olaf the Old and John
-Olafsson in the 17th century, who all put traditions on paper, and their
-labours were completed by the magnificent collection of Jon Arnason
-(1862-1864), who was inspired by the example of the Grimms. Many tales
-are but weak echoes of the sagas; many were family legends, many are old
-fairy tales in a garb suited to their new northern home; but, besides
-all these, there are a number of traditions and superstitions of
-indigenous origin.
-
-The Renaissance of Iceland dates from the beginning of the 17th century,
-when a school of antiquaries arose. Arngrim Jonsson's _Brevis
-Commentarius_ (1593), and _Crymogaea_ (1609), were the first-fruits of
-this movement, of which Bishops Odd, Thorlak and Bryniulf (worthy
-parallels to Parker and Laud) were the wise and earnest supporters. The
-first (d. 1630) collected much material for church history. The second
-(d. 1656) saved _Sturlunga_ and the _Bishops' Lives_, encouraged John
-Egilsson to write his _New Hungerwaker_, lives of the bishops of the
-Dark Ages and Reformation, and helped Biorn of Skardsa (d. 1655), a bold
-and patriotic antiquary (whose _Annals_ continue Einar's), in his
-researches. The last (d. 1675) collected a fine library of MSS., and
-employed the famous copyist John Erlendsson, to whom and the bishop's
-brother, John Gizurarsson (d. 1648), we are indebted for transcripts of
-many lost MSS.
-
-Torfaeus (1636-1719) and Bartholin, a Dane (d. 1690), roused the taste
-for northern literature in Europe, a taste which has never since
-flagged; and soon after them Arni Magnusson (1663-1730) transferred all
-that remained of vellum and good paper MSS. in Iceland to Denmark, and
-laid the foundations of the famous library and bequest, for which all
-Icelandic students are so much beholden. For over forty years Arni stuck
-to his task, rescuing every scrap he could lay hands on from the risks
-of the Icelandic climate and carelessness, and when he died only one
-good MSS. remained in the island. Besides his magnificent collection,
-there are a few MSS. of great value at Upsala, at Stockholm, and in the
-old royal collection at Copenhagen. Those in the university library in
-the latter city perished in the fire of 1728. Sagas were printed at
-Upsala and Copenhagen in the 17th century, and the Arna-Magnaean fund
-has been working since 1772. In that year appeared also the first volume
-of Bishop Finn Jonsson's _Historia Ecclesiastica Islandiae_, a work of
-high value and much erudition, containing not only ecclesiastical but
-civil and literary history, illustrated by a well-chosen mass of
-documents, 870-1740. It has been continued by Bishop P. Peterson to
-modern times, 1740-1840. The results, however, of modern observers and
-scholars must be sought for in the periodicals, _Safn_, _Felagsrit_, _Ny
-Felagsrit_ and others. John Espolin's _Arbaekr_ is very good up to its
-date, 1821.
-
- A brilliant sketch of Icelandic classic literature is given by Dr
- Gudbrandr Vigfusson in the Prolegomena to _Sturlunga Saga_ (Oxford,
- 1879). It replaces much earlier work, especially the _Sciagraphia_ of
- Halfdan Einarsson (1777), and the _Saga-Bibliotek_ of Muller. The
- numerous editions of the classics by the Icelandic societies, the
- Danish Societe des Antiquites, Nordiske Litteratur Samfund, and the
- new Gammel Nordisk Litteratur Samfund, the splendid Norwegian editions
- of Unger, the labours of the Icelanders Sigurdsson and Gislason, and
- of those foreign scholars in Scandinavia and Germany who have thrown
- themselves into the work of illustrating, publishing and editing the
- sagas and poems (men like P. A. Munch, S. Bugge, F. W. Bergmann, Th.
- Mobius and K. von Maurer, to name only a few), can only be referred to
- here. See also Finnur Jonsson, _Den Oldnorske og Oldislanske

-RECENT LITERATURE
-
-The recent literature of Iceland has been in a more flourishing state
-than ever before since the 13th century. Lyrical poetry is by far the
-largest and the most interesting portion of it. The great influence of
-Jonas Hallgrimsson (1807-1845) is still felt, and his school was the
-reigning one up to the end of the 19th century, although then a change
-seemed to be in sight. The most successful poet of this school is
-Steingrimr Thorsteinsson (b. 1830). He is specially famous for his
-splendid descriptions of scenery (_The Song of Gilsbakki_), his
-love-songs and his sarcastic epigrams. As a translator he has enriched
-the literature with _The Arabian Nights_, _Sakuntala_, _King Lear_ and
-several other masterpieces of foreign literature. Equal in fame is
-Matthias Jochumsson (b. 1835), who, following another of Jonas
-Hallgrimsson's many ways, has successfully revived the old metres of the
-classical Icelandic poets, whom he resembles in his majestic, but
-sometimes too gorgeous, language. He is as an artist inferior to
-Steingrimr Thorsteinsson, but surpasses him in bold flight of
-imagination. He has successfully treated subjects from Icelandic history
-_Grettisljoeth_, a series of poems about the famous outlaw Grettir. His
-chief fault is a certain carelessness in writing; he can never write a
-bad poem, but rarely a poem absolutely flawless. He has translated
-Tegner's _Frithiofs Saga_, several plays of Shakespeare and some other
-foreign masterpieces. The great religious poet of Iceland, Hallgrimr
-Petursson, has found a worthy successor in Valdemar Briem (b. 1848),
-whose _Songs of the Bible_ are deservedly popular. He is like Matthias
-Jochumsson in the copious flow of his rhetoric; some of his poems are
-perfect both as regards form and contents, but he sometimes neglects the
-latter while polishing the former. An interesting position is occupied
-by Benedict Grondal (b. 1826), whose travesties of the old romantic
-stories,[7] and his Aristophanic drama _Gandreiethin_ ("The Magic Ride")
-about contemporary events, are among the best satirical and humorous
-productions of Icelandic literature.
-
-Influenced by Jonas Hallgrimsson with regard to language and poetic
-diction, but keeping unbroken the traditions of Icelandic medieval
-poetry maintained by Sigurethr Breiethfjoreth (1798-1846), is another school
-of poets, very unlike the first. In the middle of the 19th century this
-school was best represented by Hjalmar Jonsson from Bola (1796-1875), a
-poor farmer with little education, but endowed with great poetical
-talents, and the author of satirical verses not inferior to those of
-Juvenal both in force and coarseness. In the last decades of the 19th
-century this school produced two poets of a very high order, both
-distinctly original and Icelandic. One is Pall Olafsson (b. 1827). His
-songs are mostly written in the medieval quatrains (_ferskeytla_), and
-are generally of a humorous and satirical character; his convivial songs
-are known by heart by every modern Icelander; and although some of the
-poets of the present day are more admired, there is none who is more
-loved by the people. The other is Thorsteinn Erlingsson (b. 1858). His
-exquisite satirical songs, in an easy and elegant but still manly and
-splendid language, have raised much discussion. Of his poems may be
-mentioned _The Oath_, a series of most beautiful ballads, with a
-tragical love-story of the 17th century as their base, but with many and
-happy satirical allusions to modern life; _Jorundr_, a long poem about
-the convict king, the Danish pirate Jorgensen, who nearly succeeded in
-making himself the master of Iceland, and _The Fate of the Gods_ and
-_The Men of the West_ (the Americans), two poems which, with their
-anti-clerical and half-socialistic tendencies, have caused strong
-protests from orthodox Lutheran clergy. Near to this school, but still
-standing apart, is Grimur Thomsen (b. 1820).
-
-In the beginning of the 'eighties a new school arose--having its origin
-in the colony of Icelandic students at the University of Copenhagen.
-They had all attended the lectures of Georg Brandes, the great reformer
-of Scandinavian literature, and, influenced by his literary theories,
-they chose their models in the realistic school. This school is very
-dissimilar from the half-romantic school of Jonas Hallgrimsson; it is
-nearer the national Icelandic school represented by Pall Olafsson and
-Thorsteinn Erlingsson, but differs from those writers by introducing
-foreign elements hitherto unknown in Icelandic literature,
-and--especially in the case of the prose-writers--by imitating closely
-the style and manner of some of the great Norwegian novelists. Their
-influence brought the Icelandic literature into new roads, and it is
-interesting to see how the tough Icelandic element gradually assimilates
-the foreign. Of the lyrical poets, Hannes Hafsteinn (b. 1861) is by far
-the most important. In his splendid ballad, _The Death of Skarphedinn_,
-and in his beautiful series of songs describing a voyage through some of
-the most picturesque parts of Iceland, he is entirely original; but in
-his love-songs, beautiful as many of them are, a strong foreign
-influence can be observed. Among the innovations of this poet we may
-note a predilection for new metres, sometimes adopted from foreign
-languages, sometimes invented by himself, a thing practised rarely and
-generally with small success by the Icelandic poets.
-
-No Icelandic novelist has as yet equalled Jon Thoroddsen (1819-1868).
-The influence of the realistic school has of late been predominant. The
-most distinguished writer of that school has been Gestur Palsson
-(1852-1891), whose short stories with their sharp and biting satire have
-produced many imitations in Iceland. The best are _A Home of Love_ and
-_Captain Sigurd_. Jonas Jonasson (b. 1856), a clergyman of northern
-Iceland, has, in a series of novels and short stories, given accurate,
-but somewhat dry, descriptions of the more gloomy sides of Icelandic
-country life. His best novel is _Randiethr from Hvassafell_, an historical
-novel of the middle ages. Besides these we may mention Torfhildur Holm,
-one of the few women who have distinguished themselves in Icelandic
-literature. Her novels are mostly historical. The last decade of the
-19th century saw the establishment of a permanent theatre at Reykjavik.
-The poet Matthias Jochumsson has written several dramas, but their chief
-merits are lyrical. The most successful of Icelandic dramatists as yet
-is Indrethi Einarsson, whose plays, chiefly historical, in spite of
-excessive rhetoric, are very interesting and possess a true dramatic
-spirit.
-
-In geography and geology Thorvaldr Thoroddsen has acquired a European
-fame for his researches and travels in Iceland, especially in the
-rarely-visited interior. Of his numerous writings in Icelandic, Danish
-and German, the _History of Icelandic Geography_ is a monumental
-work. In history Pall Melsteeth's (b. 1812) chief work, the large _History
-of the World_, belongs to this period, and its pure style has had a
-beneficial influence upon modern Icelandic prose.
-
-Of the younger historians we may mention Thorkell Bjarnason (_History of
-the Reformation in Iceland_). Jon Thorkelsson (b. 1822), inspector of the
-archives of Iceland, has rendered great services to the study of
-Icelandic history and literature by his editions of the _Diplomatarium
-Islandicum_ and _Obituarium Islandicum_, and by his _Icelandic Poetry in
-the 15th and 16th Century_, written in Danish, an indispensable work for
-any student of that period. A leading position among Icelandic
-lexicographers is occupied by Jon Thorkelsson, formerly head of the Latin
-school at Reykjavik, whose _Supplement til islandske Ordboger_, an
-Icelandic-Danish vocabulary (three separate collections), has hardly
-been equalled in learning and accuracy. Other distinguished philologists
-are his successor as head of the Latin school, Bjorn Magnusson Olsen
-(_Researches on Sturlunga_, _Ari the Wise_, _The Runes in the Old
-Icelandic Literature_--the last two works in Danish); Finnur Jonsson,
-professor at the University of Copenhagen (_History of the Old Norwegian
-and Icelandic Literature_, in Danish, and excellent editions of many old
-Icelandic classical works); and Valtyr Guethmundsson, lecturer at the
-University of Copenhagen (several works on the old architecture of
-Scandinavia) and editor of the influential Icelandic literary and
-political review, _Eimreiethin_ ("The Locomotive").

-ICELAND MOSS, a lichen (_Cetraria islandica_) whose erect or ascending
-foliaceous habit gives it something of the appearance of a moss, whence
-probably the name. It is often of a pale chestnut colour, but varies
-considerably, being sometimes almost entirely greyish white; and grows
-to a height of from 3 to 4 in., the branches being channelled or rolled
-into tubes, which terminate in flattened lobes with fringed edges. It
-grows abundantly in the mountainous regions of northern countries, and
-it is specially characteristic of the lava slopes and plains of the west
-and north of Iceland. It is found on the mountains of north Wales, north
-England, Scotland and south-west Ireland. As met with in commerce it is
-a light-grey harsh cartilaginous body, almost destitute of colour, and
-having a slightly bitter taste. It contains about 70% of lichenin or
-lichen-starch, a body isomeric with common starch, but wanting any
-appearance of structure. It also yields a peculiar modification of
-chlorophyll, called thallochlor, fumaric acid, licheno-stearic acid and
-cetraric acid, to which last it owes its bitter taste. It forms a
-nutritious and easily digested amylaceous food, being used in place of
-starch in some preparations of cocoa. It is not, however, in great
-request, and even in Iceland it is only habitually resorted to in
-seasons of scarcity. Cetraric acid or cetrarin, a white
-micro-crystalline powder with a bitter taste, is readily soluble in
-alcohol, and slightly soluble in water and ether. It has been
-recommended for medicinal use, in doses of 2 to 4 grains, as a bitter
-tonic and aperient.

-ICE-PLANT, the popular name for _Mesembryanthemum crystallinum_, a hardy
-annual most effective for rockwork. It is a low-growing spreading
-herbaceous plant with the fleshy stem and leaves covered with large
-glittering papillae which give it the appearance of being coated with
-ice. It is a dry-country plant, a native of Greece and other parts of
-the Mediterranean region, the Canary Islands, South Africa and
-California. _Mesembryanthemum_ is a large genus (containing about 300
-species) of erect or prostrate fleshy herbs or low shrubs, mostly
-natives of South Africa, and rarely hardy in the British Isles where
-they are mostly grown as greenhouse plants. They bear conspicuous white,
-yellow or red flowers with many petals inserted in the calyx-tube. The
-thick fleshy leaves are very variable in shape, and often have spiny
-rigid hairs on the margin. They are essentially sun-loving plants. The
-best-known member of the genus is _M. cordifolium, var. variegatum_,
-with heart-shaped green and silvery leaves and bright rosy-purple
-flowers. It is extensively used for edging flower-beds and borders
-during the summer months.
-

-
-
-ICE-YACHTING, the sport of sailing and racing ice-boats. It is practised
-in Great Britain, Norway and Sweden, to some extent, and is very popular
-in Holland and on the Gulf of Finland, but its highest development is in
-the United States and Canada. The Dutch ice-yacht is a flat-bottomed
-boat resting crossways upon a planking about three feet wide and sixteen
-long, to which are affixed four steel runners, one each at bow, stern
-and each end of the planking. The rudder is a fifth runner fixed to a
-tiller. Heavy mainsails and jibs are generally used and the boat is
-built more for safety than for speed. The ice-boat of the Gulf of
-Finland is a V-shaped frame with a heavy plank running from bow to
-stern, in which the mast is stepped. The stern or steering runner is
-worked by a tiller or wheel. The sail is a large lug and the boom and
-gaff are attached to the mast by travellers. The passengers sit upon
-planks or rope netting. The Russian boats are faster than the Dutch.
-
-In 1790 ice-yachting was in vogue on the Hudson river, its headquarters
-being at Poughkeepsie, New York. The type was a square box on three
-runners, the two forward ones being nailed to the box and the third
-acting as a rudder operated by a tiller. The sail was a flatheaded
-sprit. This primitive style generally obtained until 1853, when
-triangular frames with "boxes" for the crew aft and jib and mainsail rig
-were introduced. A heavy, hard-riding type soon developed, with short
-gaffs, low sails, large jibs and booms extending far over the stern. It
-was over-canvassed and the mast was stepped directly over the
-runner-plank, bringing the centre of sail-balance so far aft that the
-boats were apt to run away, and the over-canvassing frequently caused
-the windward runner to swing up into the air to a dangerous height. The
-largest and fastest example of this type, which prevailed until 1879,
-was Commodore J. A. Roosevelt's first "Icicle," which measured 69 ft.
-over all and carried 1070 sq. ft. of canvas. In 1879 Mr H. Relyea built
-the "Robert Scott," which had a single backbone and wire guy-ropes, and
-it became the model for all Hudson river ice-yachts. Masts were now
-stepped farther forward, jibs were shortened, booms cut down, and the
-centre of sail-balance was brought more inboard and higher up, causing
-the centres of effort and resistance to come more in harmony. The
-shallow steering-box became elliptical. In 1881 occurred the first race
-for the American Challenge Pennant, which represents the championship of
-the Hudson river, the clubs competing including the Hudson river, North
-Shrewsbury, Orange lake, Newburgh and Carthage Ice-Yacht Clubs. The
-races are usually sailed five times round a triangle of which each leg
-measures one mile, at least two of the legs being to windward.
-Ice-yachts are divided into four classes, carrying respectively 600 sq.
-ft. of canvas or more, between 450 and 600, between 300 and 450, and
-less than 300 sq. ft. Ice-yachting is very popular on the Great Lakes,
-both in the United States and Canada, the Kingston (Ontario) Club having
-a fleet of over 25 sail. Other important centres of the sport are Lakes
-Minnetonka and White Bear in Minnesota, Lakes Winnebago and Pepin in
-Wisconsin, Bar Harbor lake in Maine, the St Lawrence river, Quinte Bay
-and Lake Champlain.
-
-A modern ice-yacht is made of a single-piece backbone the entire length
-of the boat, and a runner-plank upon which it rests at right angles, the
-two forming a kite-shaped frame. The best woods for these pieces are
-basswood, butternut and pine. They are cut from the log in such a way
-that the heart of the timber expands, giving the planks a permanent
-curve, which, in the finished boat, is turned upward. The two forward
-runners, usually made of soft cast iron and about 2 ft. 7 in. long and
-2(1/2) in. high, are set into oak frames a little over 5 ft. long and 5
-in. high. The runners have a cutting edge of 90%, though a V-shaped edge
-is often preferred for racing. The rudder is a runner about 3 ft. 7 in.
-long, worked by a tiller, sometimes made very long, 7(1/2) ft. not being
-uncommon. This enables the helmsman to lie in the box at full length and
-steer with his feet, leaving his hands free to tend the sheet. Masts and
-spars are generally made hollow for racing-yachts and the rigging is
-pliable steel wire. The sails are of 10-oz. duck for a boat carrying 400
-sq. ft. of canvas. They have very high peaks, short hoists and long
-booms. The mainsail and jib rig is general, but a double-masted lateen
-rig has been found advantageous. The foremost ice-yacht builder of
-America is G. E. Buckhout of Poughkeepsie.
-
-An ice-yacht about 40 ft. in length will carry 6 or 7 passengers or
-crew, who are distributed in such a manner as to preserve the balance of
-the boat. In a good breeze the crew lie out on the windward side of the
-runner-plank to balance the boat and reduce the pressure on the leeward
-runner. A course of 20 m. with many turns has been sailed on the Hudson
-in less than 48 minutes, the record for a measured mile with flying
-start being at the rate of about 72 m. an hour. In a high wind, however,
-ice-yachts often move at the rate of 85 and even 90 m. an hour.
-
-Several of the laws of ice navigation seem marvellous to the
-uninitiated. Commodore Irving Grinnell, who has made a scientific study
-of the sport, says: "The two marked peculiarities of ice-yachting which
-cause it to differ materially from yachting on the sea are: (1) Sailing
-faster than the wind. (2) Sheets flat aft under all circumstances." Mr
-H. A. Buck, in the "Badminton Library," _Skating, Curling, Tobogganing_,
-&c., thus explains these paradoxes. An ice-boat sails faster than the
-wind because she invariably sails at some angle to it. The momentum is
-increased by every puff of wind striking the sails obliquely, until it
-is finally equalled by the increase of friction engendered. Thus the
-continued bursts of wind against the sails cause a greater accumulation
-of speed in the ice-yacht than is possessed by the wind itself. When the
-boat sails directly before the wind she is, like a balloon, at its
-mercy, and thus does not sail faster than the wind. The ice-yacht always
-sails with its sheets flat aft, because the greater speed of the boat
-changes the angle at which the wind strikes the sail from that at which
-it would strike if the yacht were stationary to such a degree that, in
-whatever direction the yacht is sailing, the result is always the same
-as if the yacht were close-hauled to the wind. It follows that the yacht
-is actually overhauling the wind, and her canvas shivers as if in the
-wind's eye. When eased off her momentum becomes less and less until it
-drops to the velocity of the wind, when she can readily be stopped by
-being spun round and brought head to the wind. The latter method is one
-way of "coming to," instead of luffing up in the usual way from a beam
-wind. In beating to windward an ice-boat is handled like a water yacht,
-though she points more closely.
-
-On the bays near New York a peculiar kind of ice-boat has developed,
-called _scooter_, which may be described as a toboggan with a sail. A
-typical scooter is about 15 ft. long with an extreme beam of 5 ft.,
-perfectly oval in form and flat. It has mainsail and jib carried on a
-mast 9 or 10 ft. long and set well aft, and is provided with two long
-parallel metal runners. There is no rudder, the scooter being steered
-entirely by trimming the sails, particularly the jib. As the craft is
-flat and buoyant it sails well in water, and can thus be used on very
-thin ice without danger. A speed of 50 m. an hour has been attained by a
-scooter (see _Outing_ for March 1905).

-I-CH'ANG (YI-CH'ANG, anciently known as _Yi-ling_), a town of China in
-the province of Hu-peh, one of the four ports opened to foreign trade by
-treaty in 1877. It is situated in 30 deg. 42' N. and (approximately) 111
-deg. 20' E., on the Yangtsze-Kiang, 1000 m. from Shanghai. Built on the
-left bank of the river where it escapes from the ravines and gorges
-which for 350 m. have imprisoned its channel, I-ch'ang is exposed to
-considerable risk of floods; in 1870 the waters rose 20 ft. in one day,
-and the town had many of its houses and about half of its wall swept
-away. The first English vessels to ascend the river as far as I-ch'ang
-were those of Admiral Sir James Hope's expedition in 1861. All cargo to
-or from Szech'uen is here transhipped from steamer to junk, or _vice
-versa_. About 10 m. above I-ch'ang the famed scenery of the Yangtsze
-gorges begins. Through these the great river runs in a series of rapids,
-which make navigation by vessels of any size extremely difficult. A very
-large trade, nevertheless, is carried on by this route between
-Chungk'ing and I-ch'ang. As a local centre of distribution this port is
-of no great consequence, the transhipment trade with Szech'uen being
-almost its sole business. The population is estimated at 35,000. The
-number of foreign residents is very small, trade being carried on by
-Chinese agents. Before the anti-opium campaign of 1906 (see CHINA) opium
-was much grown. The trade of the port amounted in 1899 to L531,229, and
-in 1904 to L424,442, the principal import being cotton yarn and the
-principal export opium.

-ICHNEUMON (Gr. [Greek: ichneumon], from [Greek: ichneuein], to track
-out), the common name of the North African representative of a number of
-small weasel-shaped mammals belonging to the carnivorous family
-_Viverridae_; the Indian representatives of the group being known as
-mongooses. A large number of species of the type genus are known, and
-range over southern Asia and all Africa, the typical _Herpestes
-ichneumon_ also occurring in the south of Spain. The latter is an
-inhabitant of Egypt and the north of Africa, where it is known to
-foreign residents as "Pharaoh's rat." It is covered with long harsh fur
-of a tawny-grey colour, darker on the head and along the middle of the
-back, its legs reddish and its feet and tail black. It lives largely on
-rats and mice, birds and reptiles, and for this reason it is
-domesticated. It is, however, fond of poultry and their eggs, and its
-depredations among fowls detract from its merits as a vermin-killer.
-During the inundations of the Nile it is said to approach the
-habitations of man, but at other seasons it keeps to the fields and to
-the banks of the river. The Indian mongoose (_H. mungo_) is considerably
-smaller than the Egyptian animal, with fur of a pale-grey colour, the
-hairs being largely white-ringed, while the cheeks and throat are more
-or less reddish. Like the former it is frequently domesticated. It is
-especially serviceable in India as a serpent-killer, destroying not only
-the eggs and young of these creatures, but killing the most venomous
-adult snakes. The fact that it survives those encounters has led to the
-belief that it either enjoys immunity from the effects of snake poison,
-or that after being bitten it has recourse, as the Hindus maintain, to
-the root of a plant as an antidote. It has been found, however, that
-when actually bitten it falls a victim to the poison as rapidly as other
-mammals, while there is no evidence of its seeking a vegetable antidote.
-The truth seems to be that the mongoose, by its exceeding agility and
-quickness of eye, avoids the fangs of the snake while fixing its own
-teeth in the back of the reptile's neck. Moreover, when excited, the
-mongoose erects its long stiff hair, and it must be very difficult for a
-snake to drive its fangs through this and the thick skin which all the
-members of the genus possess. The mongoose never hesitates to attack a
-snake; the moment he sees his enemy, "his whole nature," writes a
-spectator of one of those fights, "appears to be changed. His fur stands
-on end, and he presents the incarnation of intense rage. The snake
-invariably attempts to escape, but, finding it impossible to evade the
-rapid onslaught of the mongoose, raises his crest and lashes out
-fiercely at his little persecutor, who seems to delight in dodging out
-of the way just in time. This goes on until the mongoose sees his
-opportunity, when like lightning he rushes in and seizes the snake with
-his teeth by the back of the neck close to the head, shaking him as a
-terrier does a rat. These tactics are repeated until the snake is
-killed." The mongoose is equally dexterous in killing rats and other
-four-footed vermin.

-ICHNEUMON-FLY, a general name applied to parasitic insects of the
-section _Ichneumonoidea_ (or _Entomophaga_), order _Hymenoptera_, from
-the typical genus _Ichneumon_, belonging to the chief family of that
-section--itself fancifully so called after the Egyptian mammal
-(_Herpestes_). The species of the families (_Ichneumonidae_,
-_Braconidae_, _Evaniidae_, _Proctotrypidae_, and _Chalcididae_) are
-often indiscriminately called "Ichneumons," but the "super-family" of
-the Ichneumonoidea in the classification of W. H. Ashmead contains only
-the _Evaniidae_, the _Stephanidae_, and the large assemblage of insects
-usually included in the two families of the _Ichneumonidae_ and the
-_Braconidae_, which are respectively equivalent to the _Ichneumones
-genuini_ and _I. adsciti_ of older naturalists, chiefly differing in the
-former having two recurrent nerves to the anterior wing, whilst the
-latter has only one such nerve. The _Ichneumonidae_ proper are one of
-the most extensive groups of insects. Gravenhorst described some 1650
-European species, to which considerable subsequent additions have been
-made. There are 6 sub-families of the _Ichneumonidae_, viz. the
-_Ichneumoninae_, _Cryptinae_, _Agriotypinae_, _Ophioninae_,
-_Tryphoninae_ and _Pimplinae_, differing considerably in size and
-facies, but united in the common attribute of being, in their earlier
-stages, parasitic upon other insects. They have all long narrow bodies;
-a small free head with long filiform or setaceous antennae, which are
-never elbowed, and have always more than sixteen joints; the abdomen
-attached to the thorax at its hinder extremity between the base of the
-posterior coxae, and provided in the female with a straight ovipositor
-often exserted and very long; and the wings veined, with perfect cells
-on the disk of the front pair. Ashmead proposes to separate the
-_Agriotypidae_ (which are remarkable for their aquatic habit, being
-parasitic on caddis-worms) from the _Ichneumonidae_ on account of their
-firm ventral abdominal segments and spined scutellum. He also separates
-from the _Braconidae_ the _Alysiidae_ as a distinct family; they have
-peculiar mandibles with out-turned tips.
-
-Their parasitic habits render these flies of great importance in the
-economy of nature, as they serve to check any inordinate increase in the
-numbers of injurious insects. Without their aid it would in many cases
-be impossible for the agriculturist to hold his own against the ravages
-of his minute insect foes, whose habits are not sufficiently known to
-render artificial checks or destroying agents available. The females of
-all the species are constantly on the alert to discover the proper
-living food for their own larvae, which are hatched from the eggs they
-deposit in or on the eggs, larvae or pupae of other insects of all
-orders, chiefly _Lepidoptera_, the caterpillars of butterflies and moths
-being specially attacked (as also are spiders). Any one who has watched
-insect life during the summer can hardly have failed to notice the busy
-way in which the parent ichneumon, a small four-winged fly, with
-constantly vibrating antennae, searches for her prey; and the clusters
-of minute cocoons round the remains of some cabbage-butterfly
-caterpillar must also have been observed by many. This is the work of
-_Apanteles_ (or _Microgaster_) _glomeratus_, one of the _Braconidae_,
-which in days past was a source of disquietude to naturalists, who
-believed that the life of the one defunct larva had _transmigrated_ into
-the numerous smaller flies reared from it. Ichneumon-flies which attack
-external feeders have a short ovipositor, but those attached to
-wood-feeding insects have that organ of great length, for the purpose of
-reaching the haunts of their concealed prey. Thus a species from Japan
-(_Bracon penetrator_) has its ovipositor nine times the length of the
-body; and the large species of _Rhyssa_ and _Ephialtes_, parasitic on
-_Sirex_ and large wood-boring beetles in temperate Europe, have very
-long instruments (with which when handled they will endeavour to sting,
-sometimes penetrating the skin), in order to get at their secreted
-victims. A common reddish-coloured species of _Ophion_ (_O. obscurum_),
-with a sabre-shaped abdomen, is noteworthy from the fact of its eggs
-being attached by stalks outside the body of the caterpillar of the
-puss-moth (_Cerura vinula_). Lepidopterists wishing to breed the latter
-cut off the eggs of the parasite with scissors.
-
-The larvae of the ichneumon-flies are white, fleshy, cylindrical,
-footless grubs; the majority of them spin silk cocoons before pupating,
-often in a mass (sometimes almost geometrically), and sometimes in
-layers of different colours and texture.
-

-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
-To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
-and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
-SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
-particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
-To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
-unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
-keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
