 INKBERRY INN 285 employed as the coloring matter; and much care is given in the manufacture of this arti- cle to obtain it of the very best quality. Oth- er carbonaceous blacks reduced to impalpable powder are sometimes employed. For colored inks various pigments are introduced instead. The mixture is made with the hot compound of burnt oil and rosin in a cylindrical vessel, in which a revolving shaft with arms serves as a stirrer. From this the ink is drawn off, and is then ground in a mill until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. Various recipes may be found in Ure's " Dictionary " and Mus- pratt's " Chemistry " for printing inks of oth- er materials than the above. For ancient pro- cesses see the work of Oaneparius, De Atra- mentiscitjuscumqiie Oenerig-(RotterAa,m, 1718). IXKBERKY, the popular name of ilex globm, a shrub now placed in the same genus with the holly, but formerly known as prinos gldber. It is slender and rather graceful, usually 2 to 4 Inkbeny (Ilex glabra). ft. high, but sometimes much taller ; its lanceo- late or oblong leaves, sparingly toothed toward the apex, are an inch or more long, evergreen, leathery, shining on the upper surface, and of a fine dark green color ; the small flowers are axillary, and the solitary fertile ones produce small black berries. It is found in sandy grounds along the coast from New England to Florida. It is deemed efficacious in intermit- tent fevers, but its chief use is for decoration. Its delicate brilliant green leaves, upon slender flexible stems, especially fit it for working in with flowers in bouquets. Quantities of it are sent from the southern counties of New Jersey to the New York florists, who keep it in good condition in a cool cellar for several months. INREUMAJf, a Russian village in the south of the Crimea, on the site of a ruined city, sup- posed to be the Ctenos mentioned by Strabo, at the head of the harbor of Sebastopol, and 35 m. S. S. W. of Simferopol. It stands at the foot of a hill rising several hundred feet per- pendicularly above the valley of the Tchernaya, crowned by massive walls and remains of towers. The side of the hill is pierced by nu- merous artificial caves, hewn from the solid rock, resembling the ruins found in Idumasa, Monument at Inkerman. but unlike any others in Europe. Near by is a church similarly constructed. The caves were probably made by the persecuted Arians, and were afterward occupied by Christian cenobites, as is shown by the paintings, chapels, and remains of altars found in them. On the heights of Inkerman, on the side of the valley opposite to the ruins, the Russians were de- feated, Nov. 5, 1854, by the French and Eng- lish. A monument to the memory of the fall- en has been erected on the battle field. INMAN, Henry, an American painter, born in Utica, N. Y., Oct. 20, 1801, died in New York, Jan. 17, 1846. He was preparing to enter the West Point academy when his taste for art led him to become a pupil of Jarvis the portrait painter, to whom he was apprenticed for seven years. Among his most characteristic por- traits are those of Chief Justice Marshall, Bish- op White, and Jacob Barker. He also painted landscape, genre, and history. In 1844 infirm health led him to visit England, where he was the guest of Wordsworth, whose portrait he painted, as well as those of Dr. Chalmers, Lord Chancellor Cottenham, and Macaulay. On his return to New York in 1845 he began a series of historical paintings for the national capitol. He was engaged upon one represent- ing the cabin of Daniel Boone in the wilds of Kentucky at the time of his death. INN (anc.

It rises in the Swiss canton of Orisons out of the small lake of Longhino, W. of Mount Ber- nina, at an elevation of nearly 7,000 ft.
