An Italian painter, bora in Venice. He was trained bj' Alessandro Varotari, painted an abundance of indifferent religious pictures, but was more successful in the treatment of alle- gories and of subjects derived from classical mythology.

CARPOC'RATES, or CAB'POCBAS (Gk. Kapiroxpdrijs, Karpokratfs, or KdpiroKpas, Karpo- krasj. The founder of the Gnostic sect of Car- pocratians. He flourished under Hadrian (c.l30 A.D. ) at Alexandria. According to him, the essence of true religion consisted in the union of the soul with the ilonas or highest God, by means of contemplation, which elevate<l it above the superstitions of the popular faith, and liber- ated it from the necessity of submitting to the common laws of society. Only he is to be reck- oned wise who attains to this. Among those who have done so are Jesus, Pythagoras, Plato, and Aristotle. The cosmogony of CarptSci-ates was of the u.sual Gnostic character, the central peculiarity of which was the belief that the worlds were created by angels.

CABTOLITH, or CAB'POLITES (Fr. car- polithe, from Gk. Kapnbi. karpos, fruit + X/floj, UIIkjs. stone). A fossil fruit of which the exact botanical relation is unknown. All these fruits and seeds of uncertain affinities are grouped to- gether in the genus Carpolites, which comprises a very heterogeneous assemblage of fossils that . vary greatly in respect of form and size. Many species from the Carboniferous rocks, originally descril>ed as Carpolites. have been more recently recognized as the seeds of gymnosperms. and have been distinguished under new generic names, such as Cardiocarpum and Rhabdocarpum, which are the seeds of the fossil Cordaites. Others from the Carboniferous and Permian rocks, and known as Trigonocarpuni. may be the seeds of conifers allied to the modern gingko. Those Carpolites of Tertiary age comprise seeds of all forms, such as aqhenes. winged fruits, capsules, etc.. and they occur in abundance in the Tertiary rocks of some regions of North America and Europe, as at Florissant in Colorado and at Oeningen in Sax- on}'. CABTOPHYTE (from Gk. Kapxos, karpos, fliiit + (pvTiv, plujton, plant, from ipvuv, pliyeiii, to produce). An old term of classification, used still by some botanists. It includes all those thallo])hytes, whether alga; or fungi, that pro- duce complex spore-cases (sporocarps). It would include, therefore, among the algic, chielly the stoneworts and the red alga': and among the fungi, the ascumycetes and basidiomycetcs. CAETOSPOBE (Gk. KapirSs, karpos, fruit + (TTTopd, sponi, seeil. from ffireipeiv, speireiii-, to scatter). A form of reproductive cell, borne in the cystoearps (fruit-ciuses) of the red algae. See RiioDOPiiYCE.E and Alg^. CAEP-SUCKEB (on account of the superfi- cial rescmlilance to a carp). A fresh-water cato- stomid fish of the genus C>arpiodes, found in the interior of the United States. It is allied to the suckers and buffalo-fishes, of which the common Carpiodes cyprinus, called also quill- back, spear-fish, skimback, etc., is a prominent example. All are of carp-like form and habits, plain olive-green above and silvery beneath, and from one to three feet in length, and have no great value as food or for sport. CAB'PUS, Cabpal Boxes. See Haxd; Foot; Skeletox. CABQUINEZ. kUr-ke'nes, or KABQUENAS, kiir-ke'nifs. A strait in California forming a portion of the boundary line between Contra Costa and Salano counties, and connecting Suisun and San Pablo bays (Map: San Fran- cisco). It is 7 miles in length and its width in some parts is nearly 2 miles. It is navigable for large vessels. Benicia is on the north and Mar- tinez on the south shore. The drainage from the valleys of the Sacramento and the San Joaquin passes through the strait. GARB, EuGEXE Asa (1S30— ). An American soldier, born in Erie County, N. Y.
