JULIUS (OSCAR), an merican chemist, born at Hoboken, N.
J., in 1867. He was educated in Germany, and from 1892 to 1915 was connected with the chemical department of the University of Chicago.

Paul probably took his metaphor from the fact that pagan soldiers sometimes STIGMA branded the name of their general on some part of their body. No writer of authority has ever maintained that the stigmata of St. Paul were anything more than the actual marks of suffering inflicted by his persecutors (2d Cor. ii: 23-27).
