The             first polar body formed is usually larger than the second             one, and often divides into two after its separation from             the ovum. Each of the polar bodies removes maternal             chromatin from the ovum to make room for the chromatin of             the fertilizing spermatozo[94]n; but their functions are             not fully understood.          {Polar circles} (Astron. & Geog.), two circles, each at a             distance from a pole of the earth equal to the obliquity             of the ecliptic, or about 23[deg] 28[b7], the northern             called the arctic circle, and the southern the antarctic             circle.          {Polar clock}, a tube, containing a polarizing apparatus,             turning on an axis parallel to that of the earth, and             indicating the hour of the day on an hour circle, by being             turned toward the plane of maximum polarization of the             light of the sky, which is always 90[deg] from the sun.          {Polar co[94]rdinates}. See under 3d {Co[94]rdinate}.          {Polar dial}, a dial whose plane is parallel to a great             circle passing through the poles of the earth. --Math.             Dict.          {Polar distance}, the angular distance of any point on a             sphere from one of its poles, particularly of a heavenly             body from the north pole of the heavens.          {Polar equation of a line} [or] {surface}, an equation which             expresses the relation between the polar co[94]rdinates of             every point of the line or surface.          {Polar forces} (Physics), forces that are developed and act             in pairs, with opposite tendencies or properties in the             two elements, as magnetism, electricity, etc.          {Polar hare} (Zo[94]l.), a large hare of Arctic America             ({Lepus arcticus}), which turns pure white in winter. It             is probably a variety of the common European hare ({L.             timidus}).          {Polar lights}, the aurora borealis or australis.          {Polar}, [or] {Polaric}, {opposition} [or] {contrast}             (Logic), an opposition or contrast made by the existence             of two opposite conceptions which are the extremes in a             species, as white and black in colors; hence, as great an             opposition or contrast as possible.          {Polar projection}. See under {Projection}.          {Polar spherical triangle} (Spherics), a spherical triangle             whose three angular points are poles of the sides of a             given triangle. See 4th {Pole}, 2.          {Polar whale} (Zo[94]l.), the right whale, or bowhead. See             {Whale}.

Chess \Chess\, n. (Bot.)       A species of brome grass ({Bromus secalinus}) which is a       troublesome weed in wheat fields, and is often erroneously       regarded as degenerate or changed wheat; it bears a very       slight resemblance to oats, and if reaped and ground up with       wheat, so as to be used for food, is said to produce narcotic       effects; -- called also {cheat} and {Willard's bromus}. [U.       S.]          Note: Other species of brome grass are called upright chess,                soft chess, etc.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Calamus       the Latin for cane, Hebrew _Kaneh_, mentioned (Ex. 30:23) as one       of the ingredients in the holy anointing oil, one of the sweet       scents (Cant. 4:14), and among the articles sold in the markets       of Tyre (Ezek. 27:19). The word designates an Oriental plant       called the "sweet flag," the Acorus calamus of Linnaeus. It is       elsewhere called "sweet cane" (Isa. 43:24; Jer. 6:20). It has an       aromatic smell, and when its knotted stalk is cut and dried and       reduced to powder, it forms an ingredient in the most precious       perfumes. It was not a native of Palestine, but was imported       from Arabia Felix or from India. It was probably that which is       now known in India by the name of "lemon grass" or "ginger       grass," the Andropogon schoenanthus. (See {CANE}.)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Nicodemus       the people is victor, a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin.       He is first noticed as visiting Jesus by night (John 3:1-21) for       the purpose of learning more of his doctrines, which our Lord       then unfolded to him, giving prominence to the necessity of       being "born again." He is next met with in the Sanhedrin       (7:50-52), where he protested against the course they were       taking in plotting against Christ. Once more he is mentioned as       taking part in the preparation for the anointing and burial of       the body of Christ (John 19:39). We hear nothing more of him.       There can be little doubt that he became a true disciple.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Onesimus       useful, a slave who, after robbing his master Philemon (q.v.) at       Colosse, fled to Rome, where he was converted by the apostle       Paul, who sent him back to his master with the epistle which       bears his name. In it he beseeches Philemon to receive his slave       as a "faithful and beloved brother." Paul offers to pay to       Philemon anything his slave had taken, and to bear the wrong he       had done him. He was accompanied on his return by Tychicus, the       bearer of the Epistle to the Colossians (Philemon 1:16, 18).                The story of this fugitive Colossian slave is a remarkable       evidence of the freedom of access to the prisoner which was       granted to all, and "a beautiful illustration both of the       character of St. Paul and the transfiguring power and righteous       principles of the gospel."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Trophimus       a foster-child, an Ephesian who accompanied Paul during a part       of his third missionary journey (Acts 20:4; 21:29). He was with       Paul in Jerusalem, and the Jews, supposing that the apostle had       brought him with him into the temple, raised a tumult which       resulted in Paul's imprisonment. (See TEMPLE, HEROD'S       ¯T0003611.) In writing to Timothy, the apostle says, "Trophimus       have I left at Miletum sick" (2 Tim. 4:20). This must refer to       some event not noticed in the Acts.
