Jansen, Cornelius
Cornelius (1585-1638), a Dutch theologian. He was professor of theology in the University of Louvain. He founded a theological party that developed into the sect still known in the Netherlands as Jansenists. According to the Statesman's Year Book, they now number 8,754, including one archbishop, two bishops, twenty-seven clergymen, and twenty-six churches. Though they reject the doctrine of papal infallibility, in other tenets they profess to be Roman Catholics. The pope refuses their clergy his sanction. Jansen professed to uphold the doctrines taught by Augustine, bishop of Hippo, and came under the condemnation and active opposition of the Jesuits. He upheld the doctrine of predestination, yet aimed to show that it was not wholly inconsistent with free will and human merit. The contest with Jansen and his followers created quite a din at one time.

Japanese Bronze-work
The art of working in bronze is a very old one in Japan. The whole process of casting is done by the artist himself, who forms his moulds from models designed in a mixture of wax and resin which is melted out of the prepared mould previous to the final pouring of the metal. By this means, castings are obtained of every description, from statues of all sizes down to the most intricate and delicate tracery, which is elaborated with scrupulous care, requiring, in some instances, months to prepare the mould. The Japanese add tin, zinc, lead, and iron to their bell mixtures. Their small bells contain copper 60, tin 24, zinc 9, iron 3. Large bells are composed of copper 60, tin 18, lead 12, zinc 6, iron 3. The mixture is called Kara-Kane. See BRONZES.
