An attempt has been made of late years to reconcile the brittlene of ice with its motion in glaciers. It is founded on the observation, made by Mr. Faraday in 1850, that when two pieces of thawing ice are placed together they freeze together at the place of contact.. The word Regelation was proposed by Dr. Hooker to expre the freezing together of two pieces of thawing ice observed by Faraday; and the memoir in which the term was first used was published by Mr. Huxley and Mr. Tyndall in the Philosophical Transactions for 1857.

Evangelical the- ologians agree that there is a nece ity for such a radical spiritual change in man in order to the divine life; but they differ widely in their psychological explanations of the change. They are, however, generally agreed that it consists of or at least nece arily involves a change in the understood, as by the Roman Catholic Church, to be the affections and desires of the soul. Regeneration is also gift of the germ of a spiritual life conferred regularly by God's ordinance in baptism, which is accordingly called the sacrament of regeneration , or simply regeneration . The word regeneration occurs only once in the New Testament in its ordinary theological meaning; but equivalent ex- pre ions are found, such as "begotten again," "born again," "born of God," "born of water and of the Spirit." According to his mercy he saved us, by the washing.of regeneration , and renewing of the Holy Ghost. Tit. iii. 5.

One who is invested with vicarious author i- ty; one who governs a kingdom in the minority, absence, or disability of the king.

In the old universities, a master or doctor who takes part in the regular duties of instruc- tion or government. At Cambridge all resident mas- ters of arts of le than four years' standing, and all doctors of le than two, are regents. At Oxford the period of regen- cy is shorter. At both universities those of a more advanced stalled ngon keer their bridge the college books pare the furnace. The idea of employing what is now gentions as to attainments in learning, and confer on succe erally called the "regenerative system" of heating was first conceived by Robert Stirling, in 1816, but his arrange- ment for carrying it out was not a practical one. The present form of the furnace, and in general the succe - ful application of the principle, constituting a highly im- portant improvement in the consumption of fuel, are due to the brothers Siemens. The regenerative estem has already been extensively applied in various metallurgical and manufacturing proce es, and is likely to receive still further development. According to the Siemens regene- rative method, there must be at least one pair of regene- rative chambers, in order that the heat may be in proce of being stored up in one while being utilized in the other. In the Siemens regenerative reheating or mill-furnace there are two pairs of chambers, each pair consisting of one larger and one smaller chamber, through one of which the air pa es, and through the other the gas on its way to the furnace. The so-called "Ponsard recuperator" is a form of regenerator in which, by an ingenious arrange- ment of solid and hollow fire-bricks, the current is made continuous in one direction, instead of requiring reversal as in the Siemens regenerative furnace. This form of fur- nace has been employed for reheating in rolling-mills. regenerator-furnace (re-jen'e-rā-tor-fer"nās), n.

It is the largest permanent a ociation of soldiers, and the third subdivision of an army-corps, several regiments constitut- ing a brigade, and several brigades a division. These com- bin a tions are, however, temporary, while in the regiment the same officers serve continuously, and in command of the same bodies of men. The strength of a regiment may vary greatly, as any regiment may comprise any number of battalions. The organization of the British Royal Artil- lery is anomalous, the whole body forming one regiment. In 1880 it comprised nearly 35,000 officers and men, distrib- uted in 30 brigades, each of which is as large as an ord i- nary regiment.

(b) A particular series of tones, within the compa of a voice or of cer- tain instruments, which is produced in the same way and with the same quality: as, the chest register of the voice, or the chalumeau reg is- ter of the clarinet. The vocal registers are dist in- guished by quality more than by pitch, since the same tone can often be produced in more than one register. The difference lies in the way in which the larynx is used, but the exact nature of the proce is disputed. The so- called head - register and chest - register include tones that call the cavities of the head and chest respectively into decided sympathetic vibration. The different vocal qual ities are also called the low , middle , and high registers , or the thick , middle , and thin registers , depending in the first case upon the pitch of the tones for which they are best suited, and in the second upon the supposed cond i- tion of the vocal cords in producing them, or the quality of the tones produced.
