      {pickerell}.]
      1. A young or small pike. [Obs.]
  
                     Bet [better] is, quoth he, a pike than a pickerel.
                                                                              --Chaucer.
  
      2. (Zo[94]l.)
            (a) Any one of several species of freshwater fishes of the
                  genus {Esox}, esp. the smaller species.
            (b) The glasseye, or wall-eyed pike. See {Wall-eye}.
  
      Note: The federation, or chain, pickerel ({Esox reticulatus})
               and the brook pickerel ({E. Americanus}) are the most
               common American species. They are used for food, and
               are noted for their voracity. About the Great Lakes the
               pike is called pickerel.
  
      {Pickerel weed} (Bot.), a blue-flowered aquatic plant
            ({Pontederia cordata}) having large arrow-shaped leaves.
            So called because common in slow-moving waters where
            pickerel are often found.

      Note: The kinetic energy of a body is the energy it has in
               virtue of being in motion. It is measured by one half
               of the product of the mass of each element of the body
               multiplied by the square of the velocity of the
               element, relative to some given body or point. The
               available kinetic energy of a material system
               unconnected with any other system is that energy which
               is due to the motions of the parts of the system
               relative to its center of mass. The potential energy of
               a body or system is that energy which is not kinetic;
               -- energy due to configuration. Kinetic energy is
               sometimes called actual energy. Kinetic energy is
               exemplified in the vis viva of moving bodies, in heat,
               electric currents, etc.; potential energy, in a bent
               spring, or a body suspended a given distance above the

      Note: The kinetic energy of a body is the energy it has in
               virtue of being in motion. It is measured by one half
               of the product of the mass of each element of the body
               multiplied by the square of the velocity of the
               element, relative to some given body or point. The
               available kinetic energy of a material system
               unconnected with any other system is that energy which
               is due to the motions of the parts of the system
               relative to its center of mass. The potential energy of
               a body or system is that energy which is not kinetic;
               -- energy due to configuration. Kinetic energy is
               sometimes called actual energy. Kinetic energy is
               exemplified in the vis viva of moving bodies, in heat,
               electric currents, etc.; potential energy, in a bent
               spring, or a body suspended a given distance above the
               earth and acted on by gravity.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   En-rogel
      fountain of the treaders; i.e., "foot-fountain;" also called the
      "fullers' fountain," because fullers here trod the clothes in
      water. It has been identified with the "fountain of the virgin"
      (q.v.), the modern 'Ain Ummel-Daraj. Others identify it, with
      perhaps some probability, with the Bir Eyub, to the south of the
      Pool of Siloam, and below the junction of the valleys of Kidron
      and Hinnom. (See {FOUNTAIN}.)
     
         It was at this fountain that Jonathan and Ahimaaz lay hid
      after the flight of David (2 Sam. 17:17); and here also Adonijah
      held the feast when he aspired to the throne of his father (1
      Kings 1:9).
     
         The Bir Eyub, or "Joab's well," "is a singular work of ancient
      enterprise. The shaft sunk through the solid rock in the bed of
      the Kidron is 125 feet deep...The water is pure and entirely
      sweet, quite different from that of Siloam; which proves that
      there is no connection between them." Thomson's Land and the
      Book.

   En-rogel, the fuller's fountain; the well of searching
