Cf. {Saccharine}, {Sucrose}.]       1. A sweet white (or brownish yellow) crystalline substance,             of a sandy or granular consistency, obtained by             crystallizing the evaporated juice of certain plants, as             the sugar cane, sorghum, beet root, sugar maple, etc. It             is used for seasoning and preserving many kinds of food             and drink.

Chippendale \Chip"pen*dale\, a.       Designating furniture designed, or like that designed, by       Thomas Chippendale, an English cabinetmaker of the 18th       century.

In the more elaborate       pieces three types are recognized: {French Chippendale},       having much detail, like Louis Quatorze and Louis Quinze;       {Chinese Chippendale}, marked by latticework and pagodalike       pediments; and {Gothic Chippendale}, attempting to adapt       medieval details. The forms, as of the cabriole and       chairbacks, often resemble Queen Anne.

Conic \Con"ic\, Conical \Con"ic*al\, a. [Gr. [?]: cf. F.       conique. See {Cone}.]       1. Having the form of, or resembling, a geometrical cone;             round and tapering to a point, or gradually lessening in             circumference; as, a conic or conical figure; a conical             vessel.          2. Of or pertaining to a cone; as, conic sections.          {Conic section} (Geom.), a curved line formed by the             intersection of the surface of a right cone and a plane.             The conic sections are the parabola, ellipse, and             hyperbola.

Mathematics \Math`e*mat"ics\, n. [F. math[82]matiques, pl., L.       mathematica, sing., Gr. [?] (sc. [?]) science. See       {Mathematic}, and {-ics}.]       That science, or class of sciences, which treats of the exact       relations existing between quantities or magnitudes, and of       the methods by which, in accordance with these relations,       quantities sought are deducible from other quantities known       or supposed; the science of spatial and quantitative       relations.          Note: Mathematics embraces three departments, namely: 1.                {Arithmetic}. 2. {Geometry}, including {Trigonometry}                and {Conic Sections}. 3. {Analysis}, in which letters                are used, including {Algebra}, {Analytical Geometry},                and {Calculus}. Each of these divisions is divided into                pure or abstract, which considers magnitude or quantity                abstractly, without relation to matter; and mixed or                applied, which treats of magnitude as subsisting in                material bodies, and is consequently interwoven with                physical considerations.

Focus \Fo"cus\, n.; pl. E. {Focuses}, L. {Foci}. [L. focus       hearth, fireplace; perh. akin to E. bake. Cf. {Curfew},       {Fuel}, {Fusil} the firearm.]       1. (Opt.) A point in which the rays of light meet, after             being reflected or refrcted, and at which the image is             formed; as, the focus of a lens or mirror.          2. (Geom.) A point so related to a conic section and certain             straight line called the directrix that the ratio of the             distace between any point of the curve and the focus to             the distance of the same point from the directrix is             constant.          Note: Thus, in the ellipse FGHKLM, A is the focus and CD the                directrix, when the ratios FA:FE, GA:GD, MA:MC, etc.,                are all equal. So in the hyperbola, A is the focus and                CD the directrix when the ratio HA:HK is constant for                all points of the curve; and in the parabola, A is the                focus and CD the directrix when the ratio BA:BC is                constant. In the ellipse this ratio is less than unity,                in the parabola equal to unity, and in the hyperbola                greater than unity. The ellipse and hyperbola have each                two foci, and two corresponding directrixes, and the                parabola has one focus and one directrix. In the                ellipse the sum of the two lines from any point of the                curve to the two foci is constant; that is:                AG+GB=AH+HB; and in the hyperbola the difference of the                corresponding lines is constant. The diameter which                passes through the foci of the ellipse is the major                axis. The diameter which being produced passes through                the foci of the hyperbola is the transverse axis. The                middle point of the major or the transverse axis is the                center of the curve. Certain other curves, as the                lemniscate and the Cartesian ovals, have points called                foci, possessing properties similar to those of the                foci of conic sections. In an ellipse, rays of light                coming from one focus, and reflected from the curve,                proceed in lines directed toward the other; in an                hyperbola, in lines directed from the other; in a                parabola, rays from the focus, after reflection at the                curve, proceed in lines parallel to the axis. Thus rays                from A in the ellipse are reflected to B; rays from A                in the hyperbola are reflected toward L and M away from                B.          3. A central point; a point of concentration.          {Aplanatic focus}. (Opt.) See under {Aplanatic}.          {Conjugate focus} (Opt.), the focus for rays which have a             sensible divergence, as from a near object; -- so called             because the positions of the object and its image are             interchangeable.          {Focus tube} (Phys.), a vacuum tube for R[d2]ntgen rays in             which the cathode rays are focused upon the anticathode,             for intensifying the effect.          {Principal, [or] Solar}, {focus} (Opt.), the focus for             parallel rays.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Census       There are five instances of a census of the Jewish people having       been taken. (1.) In the fourth month after the Exodus, when the       people were encamped at Sinai. The number of men from twenty       years old and upward was then 603,550 (Ex. 38:26). (2.) Another       census was made just before the entrance into Canaan, when the       number was found to be 601,730, showing thus a small decrease       (Num. 26:51). (3.) The next census was in the time of David,       when the number, exclusive of the tribes of Levi and Benjamin,       was found to be 1,300,000 (2 Sam. 24:9; 1 Chr. 21:5). (4.)       Solomon made a census of the foreigners in the land, and found       153,600 able-bodied workmen (2 Chr. 2:17, 18). (5.) After the       return from Exile the whole congregation of Israel was numbered,       and found to amount to 42,360 (Ezra 2:64). A census was made by       the Roman government in the time of our Lord (Luke 2:1). (See {TAXING}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Changes of raiment       were reckoned among the treasures of rich men (Gen. 45:22; Judg.       14:12, 13; 2 Kings 5:22, 23).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Concision       (Gr. katatome; i.e., "mutilation"), a term used by Paul       contemptuously of those who were zealots for circumcision (Phil.       3:2). Instead of the warning, "Beware of the circumcision"       (peritome) i.e., of the party who pressed on Gentile converts       the necessity of still observing that ordinance, he says,       "Beware of the concision;" as much as to say, "This circumcision       which they vaunt of is in Christ only as the gashings and       mutilations of idolatrous heathen."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Consecration       the devoting or setting apart of anything to the worship or       service of God. The race of Abraham and the tribe of Levi were       thus consecrated (Ex. 13:2, 12, 15; Num. 3:12). The Hebrews       devoted their fields and cattle, and sometimes the spoils of       war, to the Lord (Lev. 27:28, 29). According to the Mosaic law       the first-born both of man and beast were consecrated to God.                In the New Testament, Christians are regarded as consecrated       to the Lord (1 Pet. 2:9).
