      {Acetous, [or] Acetic}, {fermentation}, a form of oxidation
            in which alcohol is converted into vinegar or acetic acid
            by the agency of a specific fungus or ferment ({Mycoderma
            aceti}). The process involves two distinct reactions, in
            which the oxygen of the air is essential. An intermediate
            product, aldehyde, is formed in the first process. 1.
            C2H6O + O = H2O + C2H4O
  
      Note: Alcohol. Water. Aldehyde. 2. C2H4O + O = C2H4O2
  
      Note: Aldehyde. Acetic acid.
  
      {Alcoholic fermentation}, the fermentation which saccharine
            bodies undergo when brought in contact with the yeast
            plant or Torula. The sugar is converted, either directly
            or indirectly, into alcohol and carbonic acid, the rate of
            action being dependent on the rapidity with which the
            Torul[91] develop.
  
      {Ammoniacal fermentation}, the conversion of the urea of the
            urine into ammonium carbonate, through the growth of the
            special urea ferment. CON2H4 + 2H2O = (NH4)2CO3
  
      Note: Urea. Water. Ammonium carbonate.
  
      Note: Whenever urine is exposed to the air in open vessels
               for several days it undergoes this alkaline
               fermentation.
  
      {Butyric fermentation}, the decomposition of various forms of
            organic matter, through the agency of a peculiar
            worm-shaped vibrio, with formation of more or less butyric
            acid. It is one of the many forms of fermentation that
            collectively constitute putrefaction. See {Lactic
            fermentation}.
  
      {Fermentation by an} {unorganized ferment [or] enzyme}.
            Fermentations of this class are purely chemical reactions,
            in which the ferment acts as a simple catalytic agent. Of
            this nature are the decomposition or inversion of cane
            sugar into levulose and dextrose by boiling with dilute
            acids, the conversion of starch into dextrin and sugar by
            similar treatment, the conversion of starch into like
            products by the action of diastase of malt or ptyalin of
            saliva, the conversion of albuminous food into peptones
            and other like products by the action of
            pepsin-hydrochloric acid of the gastric juice or by the
            ferment of the pancreatic juice.
  
      {Fermentation theory of disease} (Biol. & Med.), the theory
            that most if not all, infectious or zymotic disease are
            caused by the introduction into the organism of the living
            germs of ferments, or ferments already developed
            (organized ferments), by which processes of fermentation
            are set up injurious to health. See {Germ theory}.
  
      {Glycerin fermentation}, the fermentation which occurs on
            mixing a dilute solution of glycerin with a peculiar
            species of schizomycetes and some carbonate of lime, and
            other matter favorable to the growth of the plant, the
            glycerin being changed into butyric acid, caproic acid,
            butyl, and ethyl alcohol. With another form of bacterium
            ({Bacillus subtilis}) ethyl alcohol and butyric acid are
            mainly formed.
  
      {Lactic fermentation}, the transformation of milk sugar or
            other saccharine body into lactic acid, as in the souring
            of milk, through the agency of a special bacterium
            ({Bacterium lactis} of Lister). In this change the milk
            sugar, before assuming the form of lactic acid, presumably
            passes through the stage of glucose. C12H22O11.H2O =

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Ion \I"on\, n.
      1. One of the electrified particles into which, according to
            the electrolytic dissociation theory, the molecules of
            electrolytes are divided by water and other solvents. An
            ion consists of one or more atoms and carries a unit
            charge of electricity, 3.4 x 10^{-10} electrostatic units,
            or a multiple of this. Those which are positively
            electrified (hydrogen and the metals) are called
            {cations}; negative ions (hydroxyl and acidic atoms or
            groups) are called {anions}.
  
      Note: Thus, hydrochloric acid ({HCl}) dissociates, in aqueous
               solution, into the hydrogen ion, H^{+}, and the
               chlorine ion, Cl^{-}; ferric nitrate, {Fe(NO3)3},
               yields the ferric ion, Fe^{+++}, and nitrate ions,
               NO3^{-}, NO3^{-}, NO3^{-}. When a solution containing
               ions is made part of an electric circuit, the cations
               move toward the cathode, the anions toward the anode.
               This movement is called migration, and the velocity of
               it differs for different kinds of ions. If the
               electromotive force is sufficient, electrolysis ensues:
               cations give up their charge at the cathode and
               separate in metallic form or decompose water, forming
               hydrogen and alkali; similarly, at the anode the
               element of the anion separates, or the metal of the
               anode is dissolved, or decomposition occurs.
  
      2. One of the small electrified particles into which the
            molecules of a gas are broken up under the action of the
            electric current, of ultraviolet and certain other rays,
            and of high temperatures. To the properties and behavior
            of ions the phenomena of the electric discharge through
            rarefied gases and many other important effects are
            ascribed. At low pressures the negative ions appear to be
            electrons; the positive ions, atoms minus an electron. At
            ordinary pressures each ion seems to include also a number
            of attached molecules. Ions may be formed in a gas in
            various ways.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Ananias
      a common Jewish name, the same as Hananiah. (1.) One of the
      members of the church at Jerusalem, who conspired with his wife
      Sapphira to deceive the brethren, and who fell down and
      immediately expired after he had uttered the falsehood (Acts
      5:5). By common agreement the members of the early Christian
      community devoted their property to the work of furthering the
      gospel and of assisting the poor and needy. The proceeds of the
      possessions they sold were placed at the disposal of the
      apostles (Acts 4:36, 37). Ananias might have kept his property
      had he so chosen; but he professed agreement with the brethren
      in the common purpose, and had of his own accord devoted it all,
      as he said, to these sacred ends. Yet he retained a part of it
      for his own ends, and thus lied in declaring that he had given
      it all. "The offence of Ananias and Sapphira showed contempt of
      God, vanity and ambition in the offenders, and utter disregard
      of the corruption which they were bringing into the society.
      Such sin, committed in despite of the light which they
      possessed, called for a special mark of divine indignation."
     
         (2.) A Christian at Damascus (Acts 9:10). He became Paul's
      instructor; but when or by what means he himself became a
      Christian we have no information. He was "a devout man according
      to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt" at
      Damascus (22:12).
     
         (3.) The high priest before whom Paul was brought in the
      procuratorship of Felix (Acts 23:2, 5, 24). He was so enraged at
      Paul's noble declaration, "I have lived in all good conscience
      before God until this day," that he commanded one of his
      attendants to smite him on the mouth. Smarting under this
      unprovoked insult, Paul quickly replied, "God shall smite thee,
      thou whited wall." Being reminded that Ananias was the high
      priest, to whose office all respect was to be paid, he answered,
      "I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest" (Acts 23:5).
      This expression has occasioned some difficulty, as it is
      scarcely probable that Paul should have been ignorant of so
      public a fact. The expression may mean (a) that Paul had at the
      moment overlooked the honour due to the high priest; or (b), as
      others think, that Paul spoke ironically, as if he had said,
      "The high priest breaking the law! God's high priest a tyrant
      and a lawbreaker! I see a man in white robes, and have heard his
      voice, but surely it cannot, it ought not to be, the voice of
      the high priest." (See Dr. Lindsay on Acts, _in loco_.) (c)
      Others think that from defect of sight Paul could not observe
      that the speaker was the high priest. In all this, however, it
      may be explained, Paul, with all his excellency, comes short of
      the example of his divine Master, who, when he was reviled,
      reviled not again.
