* HENRICI. 7( very obscene, but none the less valuable as a picture of contemporary life, especially at the universities. His devotional poetry includes many verses for the compositions of Jobann Se- bastian Bach, especially his passion music; and, among other hymns, Wer iceiss, ivie nahe mir mein Ende. Consult Flossman, Picander (Leip- zig, 1899). HENRICIANS, hen-rish'anz, or HENRI- CAKTS. Tlir fiillowers of Henry of Lausanne, or Henry the Deacon. Grieved at tlie corruption of the times, Henry left the Benedictine monas- tery of C'lugny, to which he belonged, in South- ern France. His consistent life and the elo- quence of his discourses deeply moved the peo- ple. At first Hildebert, his bishop, favored him, but afterwards drove him from Le JIans. Join- ing the disciples of Peter of Bruys (see Bruys, Pierre de) in Provence, he was arrested by the Archbishop of Aries, and at the second Council of Pisa (1135) was declared a heretic and placed in a cell. Subsequently released, he again went to the south of France, where he had a great influence over the lower classes. He was arrested by Pope Eugenius III., and at the Council of Rheims (1148) condemned to perpetual imprison- ment. He died in prison in 1149. HEN'BIET'TA.

A French politician, born at Nanterre. He was educated as a choir-boy, and little is known of him until 1789, when he left his post in the city employ and joined the sans-culottes, who made him one of their commanders. He was a leader in the massacres of the Carmes and Saint Firmin (1792), and in the following year was appointed by the Commune provisional general of the army in Paris, A year later he resigned from this post, and was elected general of the National Guard three weeks afterwards, but refused to 'command the army against the people.' In 1794 his arrest was ordered on the suggestion of Tallien and Delmas; he made a bold attempt to rouse the mob in his behalf, but was taken and guillotined with Robespierre.

The practical unit of induction in the measure- ment of self and mutual "induction. ( See Elec- tricity and Electrical Units. ) It is the induc- tion in a circuit if the induced electro-motive force in it is one volt when produced by the variation of a current at the rate of one ampere per second. The henry is, therefore, substan- tially 10° times the 0. G. S. electromagnetic unit of induction. HENRY I, (876-936). King of the Germans from 919 to 936, surnamed the Fowler. He was the son of Otho, Duke of Saxony, and was distin- guished in early youth for the courage and energy with which he warred against the Slav tribes to the east of his native duchy. Otho, who died in 912, appointed Henry his successor, not only as Duke of Saxony, hut as Lord of Thuringia and part of Franconia. The German King Conrad I., instigated by certain ecclesiastical advisers whom Henry's independent bearing toward the Church had deeply offended, resisted the claims of the young Duke; but the latter was ultimately left in possession of all the lands over which his father had ruled. After Conrad's death, Henry, to whom Conrad had sent the royal insignia, was chosen King by the Franconian and Saxon nobles (919), and he h?,d little difficulty in securing the acqui- escence of the rest of Germany. For some years Lotharingia or Lorraine had held an uncertain position between the kingdoms of the East and the West Franks, as Germany and France were then called ; but in 925 Duke Giselbert trans- ferred his allegiance from the French to the German King. From the time of Louis the Child, Germany had been exposed to the inroads of the Hungarians. In 924 Henry had to pur- chase a truce of nine years by agreeing to pay an annual tribute to the Hvmsarians. The King made use of this respite bv preparing his subjects for a final struggle withnhe barbarous invaders. In the northern districts the Germans had hither- to lived for the most part in small villages or on separate settlements. Henry began building fortified cities throughout Saxony and Thuringia, and in the remaining duchies his example was fol- lowed. He also trained his vassals to meet the enemy on horseback, thus giving a strong impetus to the movement which resulted in the institu- tion of chivalry. When his arrangements were complete he tried his new force in a contest
