ummoned, after various conferences had been held between the emperor, the patriarch Isidore, Palamas, and Nicephorus Gregoras. Isidore died A. D. 1349, before the meeting of the synod, over which Callistus, his successor, presided. When it met (A. D. 1351) Nicephorus Gregoras was the champion of the Barlaamites, who numbered among their supporters the archbishop of Ephesus and the bishop of Ganus or Gannus the archbishop of Tyre, who was present, appears to have been on the same side. Palamas wa works, but without further specification, are given by Nicephorus Gregoras (Hist. Byzant. 23.3.2, p. 697, &c., ed. Paris; p. 1112, &c., ed. Bonn). The Tomus It is probable that the Tomus or declaration issued by the synod of Constantinople, A. D. 1351, against the Barlaamites was drawn up by Palamas or under his inspection.

the pendulum springs for chronometers. c is a draw-plate of metal for tube drawing. d are sections of wire of various shapes drawn through plates. e represents forms of pinion wire. f shows faney forms of wire used with others as pins in the surface of a wooden block used in calico-printing. The essential feature of wire-drawing is the drawplate. This was probably known at Nuremberg early in the fourteenth century, and how much before is not apparent. The History of Augsburg, 1351, and that of Nuremberg, 1360, mention the wire-drawer (Drahzieher). The draw-plate was imported into France by Archal, and into England by Schultz (1565). The drawplate is probably an Oriental invention. The draw-plate is made of a cylindrical piece of cast-steel, one side being flatted off. Several holes of graduated sizes are punched through the plate from the flat side, and the holes are somewhat conical in form. The wire is cleaned of its oxide in a tumbling-box, and is then annealed.

phical achievements which distinguished the close of the fifteenth and the early portion of the sixteenth centuries, or the thirty years from 1492 to 1522, consist in the discovery of tropical America, the rapid determination of its form, the passage round the southern point of Africa to India, and the first circumnavigation of the globe. The triangular form of Africa is distinctly laid down in the planisphere of Sanuto as early as 1306; in the Genoese Portulano della Medice Laurenziana of 1351, discovered by Count Baldelli; and in the map of the world by Fra Manro. 1,700 years before this, Herodotus had characterized as incredible the statement that those who sailed around Libya, in sailing from east to west, had the sun on their right hand, as in sailing eastwardly in the Mediterranean the sun at noon is always to the left. He farther states that Necho commanded the Phoenicians to make their return to Egypt by the pillars of Hercules. Strabo, while discrediting the accounts of

Leather is silvered by applying a coating of parchment-size or spirit-varnish, and afterward coating with silver-leaf under pressure. The silvering of glasses and mirrors by the electro-plating process is accomplished in the bath of silver solution in the usual way, the glass being perfectly clean. See next article. See also Platinizing, page 1741; looking-glass, pages 1350, 1351; Mir-Ror, pages 1452, 1453; glass-silvering, pages 982, 983. Sil′ver-ing glass.

In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and earlier, and indeed down to the present date, the mill-privileges on the streams of England have been improved at the expense of the surrounding country, whose drainage has been impeded thereby. In 1351, in the reign of Edward III., a special commission was issued to demolish all dams which impeded navigation, the act of Parliament refusing to allow compensation for said demolition. Seventy-six years afterward, under Henry VI., a survey and commng was performed by the hammer, the artists of Nuremberg were called wire-smiths; but after the invention of drawing wire, they were called wire-drawers or wire-millers. Both these appellations occur in the history of Augsburg as early as the year 1351, and in that of Nuremberg in 1360; so that according to the best information I have been able to obtain, I must class the invention of the drawing-iron, or proper wire-drawing, among those of the fourteenth century. The art was not introduced i

en with college education have rapidly replaced the earlier type of journalist, and multiplying schools of journalism are making a profession of the trade. Chapter 21: political writing since 1850 The year 1850 was a landmark in American political history. In September the Great Compromise was enacted. It tempered the slavery controversy and checked impending recession. To abide by the measure or to reject it was the issue in state campaigns, especially in the cotton states, during 1351. There, and also in the North and the West, the Whigs worked intensely for popular support of the compromise. In fact, they seem to have spent their strength in the cause, and when the country accepted the finality of the compromise they were unable to raise a new issue, and their organization rapidly went to pieces after 1852. In the meantime a change was taking place in the personnel of political leadership. Calhoun See Book II, Chap. XV. died before the compromise bill became a law

s day. Another evening sermon to the youth is dated Dec. 13, 1772, on Prov. 8: 17. In it Mr. Cooke alludes to the origin of this religious society thus: It is, as I am informed, near fifty years since this society was founded. Those who first thus united in this place to spend a part of the evening of the Lord's day in the worship of their arisen Redeemer, are probably all met in the grave, to which each-one of you with hasty steps are moving. The greater part of this discourse (No. 1351) was repeated as the funeral sermon of his cherished daughter, Rebecca Cooke, on Feb. 8, 1778, she having died Feb. 2, 1778, aged nineteen years. In 1772 it was voted that the money received for sale of the old school-house, be used to help pay for fencing the burying-place. 1773 Mr. Cooke continues his exposition of Mark, and the same of Luke. In one of these numerous sermons he takes issue against the idle ceremonies of the Church of Rome and other sectaries, as subversive of t

e enemy, consisting of infantry, and artillery, approached within supporting distance of Stuart, coming down the Winchester turnpike. General Lee's idea evidently was that a dash would be made with a small force from this vicinity upon Stuart at Leesburg, expecting that he was there entirely unsupported. Due care, however, was taken by Stuart to move off for Winchester are a lapse of time sufficient for a considerable force from the vicinity to get up to him. The New York Market — gold 1351.
