I t communicates by Bering
Strait with the Arctic Ocean on the north. Its southern boundary is arbitrary, some separating it from the Antarctic Ocean by the Antarctic Circle, while others interpose a "Southern Ocean " the northern limit of which is lat. 40" S. I t is regarded as divided by the equator into the North and South Pacific. Its chief gulfs, etc., are Bering Sea, Gulf of Georgia and Puget Sound, Gulf of California, Gulf of Tehuantepec, Bay of Panama,Yellow Sea, Sea of Japan, and Sea of Okhotsk. The principal currents are the equatorial, Peruvian, and Japanese. The Pacific was first seen by Balboa in 1513; was first navigated by Magalhaes in 1520; and was explored by Drake, Dampier, Anson, and numerous later navigators. Several steamer lines (Pacific Mail, Canadian Line, etc.) traverse it. Greatest breadth from east to west, about 10,000miles. Area, estimated, about70,000,U00 square miles. Greatest known depth, 27,930 feet.

Old historians state that it was much frequented by pilgrims from all parts of the country. The shrine and wooden image of Pachacamac were destroyed by Hernando Pizarro in 1533. The existing ruins of the building are very extensive, and, according to Squier, are not of the Inca type of architecture and appear to be very ancient. There are other and more modern ruins of Iricarian type, including what is supposed to have been a house of the virgins of the sun. A small village remains on the site.

He studied at Magdalene College, Cambridge, without taking a degree, and was elected to Parliament in 1875. He became the first president of the Irish Land League in 1879, visited the United States in the interest of the Irish agitation for home rule 1879-80, and succeeded Shaw as leader of the Home Rule party in 1880.

In 1886 Mr. Gladstone formed a parliamentary alliance with Parnell, and proposed a Home Rule Bill which secured the support of all the Irish mem. bers (85), but caused a split in the Liberal party and restored Lord Salisbury to power. Toward the close of the session of 1887 the " T i m e s " sought to discredit home rule before the country by publishing a scries of articles entitled " Parnellism and Crime," in which it tried to connect Parnell with the Phtenix Park murders and other assassinations. In support of its allegations it published a number of letters alleged to have been written by Parnell, which were proved, before a committee appointed by Parliament to investigate the " T i m e s " charges, to have been forged by one Pigott. Parnell brought suit for libel against the " T i m e s , " recovering£5.000 damages. In Nov., 1890, Captain O'Shea obtained a grant of divorce from his wife—Parnell(whoafterwardmarriedMrs. 0'Shea)having figured as the corespondent in the suit. He was in consequence deposed from the leadership, at the instance of the Liberal leaders, by a majority of his party, but refused to submit, and led a minority until his death.

Pausanias. Lived in the 2d century. A noted Greek geographer and writer on art. He wrote a " Periegesis of Greece," devoted to a description of Grecian antiquities. Pausanias, who is generally known as " the cicerone and tourist," and whose work, " the gazetteer of Helias," is our best repertory of information for the topography, local history, religious observances, architecture, and sculpture of the* different states of Greece. Of the personal history of Pausanias we know nothing. I t has been inferred, from his reference to Pelops as having dwelt " w i t h us," that he was a native of Lydia; and there is evidence to show that he had lived long near Mount Sipylus.
