oted in the map of Andrea Bianco, in 1436), but the remark which he made on the 13th of September, 1492, that 2 1/2° east of the island of Corvo the magnetic variation changes, passing from N. E. to N. W. — Humboldt. The first variation-compass was constructed before 1525, by an ingenious apothecary of Seville, Felipe Guillen. So earnest were the endeavors to learn more exactly the direction of the curves of magnetic declination, that in 1585 Juan Jayme sailed with Francisco Gali from Manila to Acapulco for the sole purpose of trying in the Pacific a declination-instrument which he had invented. The cosmographer Alonso de Santa Cruz, one of the instructors of Charles V., undertook the drawing up of the first general Variation chart, although indeed from very imperfect observations, as early as 1530, or a century and a half before Halley. The movement of the magnetic lines, the first recognition of which is usually ascribed to Gassendi, was not even yet conjectured by Wi

In the reign of Richard II. they were subdivided by upright mullions, dividing the window into lights. The molding grew more graceful and light in succeeding centuries. It was long before the cloisters were closed with windows, and then not entirely, for spaces were left for access of fresh air. Windows to the floor are the valvata fenestrae of Vitruvius. The windows of Manila, in the Philippine Islands, have sliding frames fitted with concha or plates of semi-transparent oysters, which admit an imperfect light, but are impervious to the sunbeams. I do not recollect to have seen any glass windows in the Philippine. —Bowring. Windmill-cap. The glazed portion is the sash, which slides in a frame; the weights are in casings. See sash. The piece above a window is a lintel, below it a sill: the sides of the openings are jambs; the exposure of the sides betw
