Its general direction is easterly with many windings, and after a course of 150 miles it enters the Sus- quehanna at Duneannon. 14 miles above Harris- burg. It breaks through several parallel moun- tain ridges and is marked through nearly its whole course by grand and picturesque scenery. It is not navigable, but the Pennsylvania Canal and the Pennsylvania Railroad follow its wind- ings from its source to its mouth. JUNIATA COLLEGE.

A bishop of Africa, who flour- ished in the sixth century. He was the author of Instituta Regularia Divince Legis (c.550). one of the earliest introductions to the sacred writ- ings. .Tunilius himself claimed no originality. but in the introduction to the work stated that he was indebted for the greater part of its con- tents to a certain Paulus of Persia, supposed to have been Paulus of Bassora, who afterwards became iletropolitan of Xisibis. In this work, which is generally called De Partibus Diiina; Legis, Junilius does not envmierate the Chroni- cles, Ezra, Xehemiah. .Job. .ludith. Esther, or the Maccabees among canonical books. Consult the edition by Kilm (Freiburg, 1880) ; Beeker's Das System des Kirchenvaters Junilius (Lubeck, 1787) ; and Kilm's Theodor von iIoj)suestia und Junilius Africanus (Freiburg, 1880). JUNIN, Hoo-nen'. An inland department of Peru, bounded by the Department of Iluanuco on the north, Cuzco on the east. Ayacucho and Huancavelica on the south, and Lima on the west (Map: Peni. B 0). Area. 23.347 square miles. One nf the Andes ranges traverses the depart- ment through the centre, and divides it into two parts, the western being elevated ; the eastern lower and thickly wooded, known as the hot IMontana. Agriculture is in a backward state, and the ricli deposits of silver which are found in the Cerro de Pasco are utterly neglected. A railroad connects the southern part of the prov- ince with Lima on the coast, and several exten- sions of this line have been projected, which will open communication with the eastern and noi-th crn departments. The population was officially estimated, in 1896, at 394,393. Capital, Cerro de Pasco (q.v. ). JUNIN, or CHINCHAYCOCHA. A lake in the Department of .Junin, Peru, situated at an altitude of 13,000 feet. It is about 37 miles long and 7 miles wide, and is drained by the ilantaro River. There are several to«-ns on its shores, and small steamboats ply on it. JUNIPER (older forms gynypre, jeneper, from OF. gencivre, genoivre. It. ginepro, giuni- pero, from Lat. juniperus, junipirus, probably for junonipirus, .Juno's pear, from Juno, Juno + pirus, pear; also explained as being from juvenis, young, and pirus, pear: hardly connected with parere, to produce), ./HHiper»s. A genus of trees and shrubs of the natural order Coniferte. hav- ing unisexual flowers, the male and female generally on separate plants, and the fruit a kind of fleshy berry containing one to three small nuts. The species are all evergreen, and have small, narrow, rigid, and scale-like leaves oppo site in whorls of three or four, or imbricated in four rows, both forms sometimes occurring to- gether. They are natives chiefly of northern tem- perate and cold regions. The common juniper (Juniperus cnminunis). common to northern high latitudes, rarely exceeds a height of 30 feet, and in general is only a shrub from 2 to 6 feet high. The abundant, round, bluish-black currant- like fruit takes two ears to ripen. On the shell of the nuts are three glands, which abound, es- pecially before ripening, in an essential oil — oil of juniper — present also particularly in the young wood. The wood is yellowish-red. brownish in the heart, hard, and fragrant. When of sxifli- cient size it is much valued for turning and veneering. The dry twigs, roots, and berries are used for fumigation. The berries, which have a strong and peculiar flavor, are much used for flavoring sin. which derives its name from them. They also enter into several medical preparations, being stimulant, sudorific, and diuretic. The
