From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Species \Spe"cies\, n. sing. & pl. [L., a sight, outward
      appearance, shape, form, a particular sort, kind, or quality,
      a species. See {Spice}, n., and cf. {Specie}, {Special}.]
      1. Visible or sensible presentation; appearance; a sensible
            percept received by the imagination; an image. [R.]
            [bd]The species of the letters illuminated with indigo and
            violet.[b8] --Sir I. Newton.
  
                     Wit, . . . the faculty of imagination in the writer,
                     which searches over all the memory for the species
                     or ideas of those things which it designs to
                     represent.                                          --Dryden.
  
      Note: In the scholastic philosophy, the species was sensible
               and intelligible. The sensible species was that in any
               material, object which was in fact discerned by the
               mind through the organ of perception, or that in any
               object which rendered it possible that it should be
               perceived. The sensible species, as apprehended by the
               understanding in any of the relations of thought, was
               called an intelligible species. [bd]An apparent
               diversity between the species visible and audible is,
               that the visible doth not mingle in the medium, but the
               audible doth.[b8] --Bacon.
  
      2. (Logic) A group of individuals agreeing in common
            attributes, and designated by a common name; a conception
            subordinated to another conception, called a genus, or
            generic conception, from which it differs in containing or
            comprehending more attributes, and extending to fewer
            individuals. Thus, {man} is a species, under {animal} as a
            genus; and man, in its turn, may be regarded as a genus
            with respect to {European}, {American}, or the like, as
            species.
  
      3. In science, a more or less permanent group of existing
            things or beings, associated according to attributes, or
            properties determined by scientific observation.
  
      Note: In mineralogy and chemistry, objects which possess the
               same definite chemical structure, and are fundamentally
               the same in crystallization and physical characters,
               are classed as belonging to a species. In zo[94]logy
               and botany, a species is an ideal group of individuals
               which are believed to have descended from common
               ancestors, which agree in essential characteristics,
               and are capable of indefinitely continued fertile
               reproduction through the sexes. A species, as thus
               defined, differs from a variety or subspecies only in
               the greater stability of its characters and in the
               absence of individuals intermediate between the related
               groups.
  
      4. A sort; a kind; a variety; as, a species of low cunning; a
            species of generosity; a species of cloth.
  
      5. Coin, or coined silver, gold, ot other metal, used as a
            circulating medium; specie. [Obs.]
  
                     There was, in the splendor of the Roman empire, a
                     less quantity of current species in Europe than
                     there is now.                                    --Arbuthnot.
  
      6. A public spectacle or exhibition. [Obs.] --Bacon.
  
      7. (Pharmacy)
            (a) A component part of compound medicine; a simple.
            (b) (Med.) An officinal mixture or compound powder of any
                  kind; esp., one used for making an aromatic tea or
                  tisane; a tea mixture. --Quincy.
  
      8. (Civil Law) The form or shape given to materials; fashion
            or shape; form; figure. --Burill.
  
      {Incipient species} (Zo[94]l.), a subspecies, or variety,
            which is in process of becoming permanent, and thus
            changing to a true species, usually by isolation in
            localities from which other varieties are excluded.

   Color \Col"or\, n. [Written also {colour}.] [OF. color, colur,

      1. A property depending on the relations of light to the eye,
            by which individual and specific differences in the hues
            and tints of objects are apprehended in vision; as, gay
            colors; sad colors, etc.
  
      Note: The sensation of color depends upon a peculiar function
               of the retina or optic nerve, in consequence of which
               rays of light produce different effects according to
               the length of their waves or undulations, waves of a
               certain length producing the sensation of red, shorter
               waves green, and those still shorter blue, etc. White,
               or ordinary, light consists of waves of various lengths
               so blended as to produce no effect of color, and the
               color of objects depends upon their power to absorb or
               reflect a greater or less proportion of the rays which
               fall upon them.

      8. (Law) An apparent right; as where the defendant in
            trespass gave to the plaintiff an appearance of title, by
            stating his title specially, thus removing the cause from
            the jury to the court. --Blackstone.

      {Complementary color}, one of two colors so related to each
            other that when blended together they produce white light;
            -- so called because each color makes up to the other what
            it lacks to make it white. Artificial or pigment colors,
            when mixed, produce effects differing from those of the
            primary colors, in consequence of partial absorption.
  
      {Of color} (as persons, races, etc.), not of the white race;
            -- commonly meaning, esp. in the United States, of negro

            red, green, and violet-blue. These three are sometimes
            called {fundamental colors}.
  
      {Subjective} [or] {Accidental color}, a false or spurious
            color seen in some instances, owing to the persistence of
            the luminous impression upon the retina, and a gradual
            change of its character, as where a wheel perfectly white,

   space-cadet keyboard n.   A now-legendary device used on MIT
   LISP machines, which inspired several still-current jargon terms and
   influenced the design of {EMACS}.   It was equipped with no fewer
   than _seven_ shift keys: four keys for {bucky bits} (`control',
   `meta', `hyper', and `super') and three like regular shift keys,
   called `shift', `top', and `front'.   Many keys had three symbols on
   them: a letter and a symbol on the top, and a Greek letter on the
   front.   For example, the `L' key had an `L' and a two-way arrow on
   the top, and the Greek letter lambda on the front.   By pressing this
   key with the right hand while playing an appropriate `chord' with
   the left hand on the shift keys, you could get the following results:
  
   L
            lowercase l
  
   shift-L
            uppercase L
  
   front-L
            lowercase lambda
  
   front-shift-L
            uppercase lambda
  
   top-L
            two-way arrow (front and shift are ignored)
  
   And of course each of these might also be typed with any combination
   of the control, meta, hyper, and super keys.   On this keyboard, you
   could type over 8000 different characters!   This allowed the user to
   type very complicated mathematical text, and also to have thousands
   of single-character commands at his disposal.   Many hackers were
   actually willing to memorize the command meanings of that many
   characters if it reduced typing time (this attitude obviously shaped
   the interface of EMACS).   Other hackers, however, thought having
   that many bucky bits was overkill, and objected that such a keyboard
   can require three or four hands to operate.   See {bucky bits},
   {cokebottle}, {double bucky}, {meta bit}, {quadruple bucky}.
  
      Note: early versions of this entry incorrectly identified the
   space-cadet keyboard with the `Knight keyboard'.   Though both were
   designed by Tom Knight, the latter term was properly applied only to
   a keyboard used for ITS on the PDP-10 and modeled on the Stanford
   keyboard (as described under {bucky bits}).   The true space-cadet
   keyboard evolved from the first Knight keyboard.

      Note: early versions of this entry incorrectly identified the
      space-cadet keyboard with the "Knight keyboard".   Though both
      were designed by Tom Knight, the latter term was properly
      applied only to a keyboard used for {ITS} on the {PDP-10} and
      modelled on the Stanford keyboard (as described under {bucky
      bits}).   The true space-cadet keyboard evolved from the Knight
      keyboard.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   subject
  
      In {subject-oriented programming}, a subject is
      a collection of {classes} or class fragments whose {class
      hierarchy} models its domain in its own, subjective way.   A
      subject may be a complete application in itself, or it may be
      an incomplete fragment that must be composed with other
      subjects to produce a complete application.   Subject
      composition combines class hierarchies to produce new subjects
      that incorporate functionality from existing subjects.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   subject index
  
      An information resource that contains
      references to other resources, categorised by subject, usually
      in a {hierarchy}.
  
      {Yahoo} is the most popular {Internet} subject index.   Like
      most {other subject indices
      (http://www.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Internet/World_Wide_Web/Searching_the_Web/Web_Directories/)},
      Yahoo is arranged {ontologically}.
  
      Subject indices are not to be confused with {search engines},
      which are based not on subject, but instead on {relevance},
      although (1) this difference is often (possibly rightly)
      hidden from the unsophisticated user, and (2) future
      integration of {knowledge representation} into relevance
      ranking {algorithms} will make this a hazy distinction.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   subject-oriented programming
  
      Program composition that supports building
      {object-oriented} systems as compositions of {subjects},
      extending systems by composing them with new subjects, and
      integrating systems by composing them with one another
      (perhaps with {glue} or adapter subjects).
  
      The flexibility of subject composition introduces novel
      opportunities for developing and modularising object-oriented
      programs.   Subject-oriented programming-in-the-large involves
      dividing a system into subjects and writing rules to compose
      them correctly.   It complements {object-oriented programming},
      solving a number of problems that arise when OOP is used to
      develop large systems or suites of interoperating or
      integrated applications.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Spices
      aromatic substances, of which several are named in Ex. 30. They
      were used in the sacred anointing oil (Ex. 25:6; 35:8; 1 Chr.
      9:29), and in embalming the dead (2 Chr. 16:14; Luke 23:56;
      24:1; John 19:39, 40). Spices were stored by Hezekiah in his
      treasure-house (2 Kings 20:13; Isa. 39:2).
