            making collodion. See {Celluloid}, and {Collodion}. Gun

   Cannon \Can"non\, n.; pl. {Cannons}, collectively {Cannon}. [F.
      cannon, fr. L. canna reed, pipe, tube. See {Cane}.]
      1. A great gun; a piece of ordnance or artillery; a firearm
            for discharging heavy shot with great force.
  
      Note: Cannons are made of various materials, as iron, brass,
               bronze, and steel, and of various sizes and shapes with
               respect to the special service for which they are
               intended, as intended, as siege, seacoast, naval,
               field, or mountain, guns. They always aproach more or
               less nearly to a cylindrical from, being usually
               thicker toward the breech than at the muzzle. Formerly
               they were cast hollow, afterwards they were cast,
               solid, and bored out. The cannon now most in use for
               the armament of war vessels and for seacoast defense
               consists of a forged steel tube reinforced with massive
               steel rings shrunk upon it. Howitzers and mortars are

            iron made to be fired from a cannon, but now often applied
            to a missile of any shape, whether solid or hollow, made
            for cannon. Elongated and cylindrical missiles are
            sometimes called bolts; hollow ones charged with
            explosives are properly called shells.

            with camphor; and the soluble variety (pyroxylin) for
            making collodion. See {Celluloid}, and {Collodion}. Gun
            cotton is frequenty but improperly called nitrocellulose.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Cainan
      possession; smith. (1.) The fourth antediluvian patriarch, the
      eldest son of Enos. He was 70 years old at the birth of his
      eldest son Mahalaleel, after which he lived 840 years (Gen.
      5:9-14), and was 910 years old when he died. He is also called
      Kenan (1 Chr. 1:2).
     
         (2.) The son of Arphaxad (Luke 3:36). He is nowhere named in
      the Old Testament. He is usually called the "second Cainan."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Camon
      full of stalks, a place (Judg. 10:5) where Jair was buried. It
      has usually been supposed to have been a city of Gilead, on the
      east of Jordan. It is probably, however, the modern
      Tell-el-Kaimun, on the southern slopes of Carmel, the Jokneam of
      Carmel (Josh. 12:22; 1 Kings 4:12), since it is not at all
      unlikely that after he became judge, Jair might find it more
      convenient to live on the west side of Jordan; and that he was
      buried where he had lived.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Canaan
      (1.) The fourth son of Ham (Gen. 10:6). His descendants were
      under a curse in consequence of the transgression of his father
      (9:22-27). His eldest son, Zidon, was the father of the
      Sidonians and Phoenicians. He had eleven sons, who were the
      founders of as many tribes (10:15-18).
     
         (2.) The country which derived its name from the preceding.
      The name as first used by the Phoenicians denoted only the
      maritime plain on which Sidon was built. But in the time of
      Moses and Joshua it denoted the whole country to the west of the
      Jordan and the Dead Sea (Deut. 11:30). In Josh. 5:12 the LXX.
      read, "land of the Phoenicians," instead of "land of Canaan."
     
         The name signifies "the lowlands," as distinguished from the
      land of Gilead on the east of Jordan, which was a mountainous
      district. The extent and boundaries of Canaan are fully set
      forth in different parts of Scripture (Gen. 10:19; 17:8; Num.
      13:29; 34:8). (See {CANAANITES}, {PALESTINE}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Canon
      This word is derived from a Hebrew and Greek word denoting a
      reed or cane. Hence it means something straight, or something to
      keep straight; and hence also a rule, or something ruled or
      measured. It came to be applied to the Scriptures, to denote
      that they contained the authoritative rule of faith and
      practice, the standard of doctrine and duty. A book is said to
      be of canonical authority when it has a right to take a place
      with the other books which contain a revelation of the Divine
      will. Such a right does not arise from any ecclesiastical
      authority, but from the evidence of the inspired authorship of
      the book. The canonical (i.e., the inspired) books of the Old
      and New Testaments, are a complete rule, and the only rule, of
      faith and practice. They contain the whole supernatural
      revelation of God to men. The New Testament Canon was formed
      gradually under divine guidance. The different books as they
      were written came into the possession of the Christian
      associations which began to be formed soon after the day of
      Pentecost; and thus slowly the canon increased till all the
      books were gathered together into one collection containing the
      whole of the twenty-seven New Testament inspired books.
      Historical evidence shows that from about the middle of the
      second century this New Testament collection was substantially
      such as we now possess. Each book contained in it is proved to
      have, on its own ground, a right to its place; and thus the
      whole is of divine authority.
     
         The Old Testament Canon is witnessed to by the New Testament
      writers. Their evidence is conclusive. The quotations in the New
      from the Old are very numerous, and the references are much more
      numerous. These quotations and references by our Lord and the
      apostles most clearly imply the existence at that time of a
      well-known and publicly acknowledged collection of Hebrew
      writings under the designation of "The Scriptures;" "The Law and
      the Prophets and the Psalms;" "Moses and the Prophets," etc. The
      appeals to these books, moreover, show that they were regarded
      as of divine authority, finally deciding all questions of which
      they treat; and that the whole collection so recognized
      consisted only of the thirty-nine books which we now posses.
      Thus they endorse as genuine and authentic the canon of the
      Jewish Scriptures. The Septuagint Version (q.v.) also contained
      every book we now have in the Old Testament Scriptures. As to
      the time at which the Old Testament canon was closed, there are
      many considerations which point to that of Ezra and Nehemiah,
      immediately after the return from Babylonian exile. (See BIBLE
      ¯T0000580, {EZRA}, {QUOTATIONS}.)

   Chimham
      pining, probably the youngest son of Barzillai the Gileadite (2
      Sam. 19:37-40). The "habitation of Chimham" (Jer. 41:17) was
      probably an inn or khan, which is the proper meaning of the
      Hebrew _geruth_, rendered "habitation", established in later
      times in his possession at Bethlehem, which David gave to him as
      a reward for his loyalty in accompanying him to Jerusalem after
      the defeat of Absalom (1 Kings 2:7). It has been supposed that,
      considering the stationary character of Eastern institutions, it
      was in the stable of this inn or caravanserai that our Saviour
      was born (Luke 2:7).

      (Heb. kammon; i.e., a "condiment"), the fruit or seed of an
      umbelliferous plant, the Cuminum sativum, still extensively
      cultivated in the East. Its fruit is mentioned in Isa. 28:25,
      27. In the New Testament it is mentioned in Matt. 23:23, where
      our Lord pronounces a "woe" on the scribes and Pharisees, who
      were zealous in paying tithes of "mint and anise and cummin,"
      while they omitted the weightier matters of the law." "It is
      used as a spice, both bruised, to mix with bread, and also
      boiled, in the various messes and stews which compose an
      Oriental banquet." Tristram, Natural History.
