he court of Constantinople, the emperor John II. Palaelogus, the princes Constantine (afterwards emperor) and Theodore Palaeologus, brothers of John, and the great duke Luke Notaras, son-in-law of John. He corresponded with persons of eminence in Italy, including Franciscus Philelphus (who was intimate with George during his stay at Constantinople), Mark Lipomanus, and Ambrose the Camaldolite. Many of his letters to these persons are extant in MS. but without date or place of writing. In A. D. 1438-39, George, who held the post of chief judge of the palace, attended the emperor John at the councils of Ferrara and Florence. It is probable that he had been originally unfavourable to the project of uniting the Greek and Latin Churches, which formed the business of these councils; but his opinions were either changed or overruled by the emperor, who was anxious for the union; and though a layman, he was allowed to speak at the council in favour of the project.

Joannes EUGENICUS 60. EUGENICUS (*Eu)geniko/s) was deacon and nomophylax of the great church at Constantinople, and brother to the celebrated Marcus or Mark Eugenicus, archbishop of Ephesus, one of the leaders of the Greeks at the councils of Ferrara and Florence (A. D. 1438-39). [EUGENICUS, M.] Joannes also attended the council, and embraced the same side as his brother. He attempted to leave Italy during its session, but was brought back.

ngth of both brigades was 3179 officers and men. Their loss was 86 killed and 408 wounded [see also p. 736]. In addition to these, about 200 of the Confederate sick were left at Iuka and on the road. Price's loss, therefore, was about 700. Rosecrans's column, according to his own report, was 9000 strong, but the brunt of the battle fell upon two brigades of Hamilton's division. The Union loss was 141 killed, 613 wounded, and 36 missing; total, 790. Rosecrans says that Price's loss was 1438; and Hamilton states boldly, to use his own expression, that he, with a force of not more than 2800 men, met and conquered a rebel force of 11,000 on a field chosen by Price. General Grant, in his report of the battle written a month afterward, discards these exaggerations of Rosecrans and Hamilton. The battle of Iuka. by C. S. Hamilton, Major-General, U. S. V. Iuka is a little village on the Memphis and Charleston railway, in northern Mississippi, about thirty miles east of Corinth.

of Schwartz was erected in 1853, at Freiburg. Artillery was known in France in 1345. In 1356, the city of Nuremberg purchased gunpowder and cannon. The same year Louvain employed thirty cannon at the battle of Santfliet against the Flemings. In 1361, a fire broke out at Lubec from the careless use of gunpowder. In 1363, the Hanse towns used gunpowder in a conflict with the Danes. It is commonly stated that gunpowder was first made in England, at periods varying from 1411 to 1438; but recent research by Rev. Joseph Hunter has brought to light records of its manufacture for the uses of the English army before it landed at La Hague, and previous to the battle of Cressy. The ingredients for the manufacture of gunpowder should be of the greatest possible purity. The crude saltpeter is refined by washing, and then dissolving in the least possible proportion of hot water, and clarified by adding a very small quantity of glue, and boiling until the impurities, such as

are beaten up with dry sugar. Some fruits, as grapes, may be kept a long time by merely being loosely packed in sawdust; others are treated with alcoholic spirits and sugar. Milk may be preserved by reducing it by boiling to half its natural bulk, and beating it up with the yolk of eggs in the proportion of 8 1/2 to 10 1/2 quarts of milk; the whole is then heated for half an hour and frequently skimmed, strained, and again heated for two hours in a water-bath, See milk, condensed, page 1438. A preferable method, generally pursued in the preparation of condensed milk, is to evaporate it at a gentle heat and add sugar. Milk thus prepared contains about 25 per cent of water, 29 per cent of cane, and 16 per cent of milk-sugar. Evaporation may be continued until the milk is entirely solidified. Cream may be preserved by boiling down five measures to four, cooling and skimming, and then placing in closely stopped bottles, which are kept in a water-bath at a boiling heat for ha
