ANGLIN 



being equal to Hoc of the circumference of a 

 circle whose center is the vertex of the angle. 

 If the sides of an angle are in the same straight 

 line but on opposite sides of the vertex, the 

 angle is a straight angle, of 180. Half of a 

 straight angle, or 90, is a right angle; two 

 straight angles equal 360, or a perigon. Angles 

 of less than 90 are acute; between 90 and 

 180, obtuse; between 180 and 360, rcjl-x. 

 If the sides of the angle are straight lines, the 

 angle is called rectilinear; if they are curved, 

 curvilinear. 



ANGLER, FROG FISH or SEA-DEVIL, a 

 strange fish with a wide head; a back set with 

 sharp needles ; a sort of beard around its head, 

 said to resemble seaweed; three brightly col- 

 ored head tassels which are thought to be its 

 bait; and two rows of long in-pointed teethT 



THE ANGLER OR SEA-DEVIL, 



It is found near the British Isles, and is often 

 over five feet long. In American waters a 

 somewhat similar fish is known, called Ameri- 

 can angler, fishing-frog or goose- fish. It is 

 from two to three feet long, and has such a 

 wide mouth that it can swallow fish nearly as 

 large as itself. 



ANGLES, one of the three tribes that in- 

 vaded Britain during the fifth century and 

 united to comprise the people that formed the 

 English nation. The other tribes were the 

 Jutes and Saxons (see ANGLO-SAXONS). The 

 Angles belonged to the Low German division 

 of the Teutonic peoples, and their original 

 home was the district of Angeln in Schleswig- 

 Holstein. The name England (Anglo-Saxon 

 Engla-land) is derived from the name of the 

 Angles. They were the founders of three king- 

 doms on the island East Anglia, Mercia and 

 Northumbria. See ENGLAND, subhead History. 



ANGLICAN CHURCH, strictly considered, is 

 the name of the established Church of Eng- 

 land. In the broader and more general sense 

 the Anglican Church or Anglican Communion 

 includes not merely the Church of England 

 but the Scottish Episcopal Church, the Church 

 of Ireland and the Church of England in the 

 British colonies. The relations of these 



branches to each other and to the whole are 

 very loose; as a united body the Church 

 throughout the world is represented only at the 

 Lambeth Conferences, at which the bishops 

 meet. The Lambeth Conferences, so named 

 from Lambeth Palace, the residence of the 

 Archbishop of Canterbury, only advise; they 

 cannot legislate on matters of doctrine or prac- 

 tice. The Protestant Episcopal Church in the 

 United States, though formerly regarded as a 

 branch of the Anglican Church, is now in fact 

 a separate body. 



The doctrines of the Anglican Church are 

 contained in the Thirty-nine Articles, and the 

 ritual is in the Book of Common Prayer. The 

 membership of the Anglican Church is divided 

 into three groups, all of which agree on the 

 fundamental belief but differ to a consider- 

 able degree on questions of ritual and minor 

 points of doctrine. These three groups are 

 called High Church, Low Church or Evan- 

 gelical, and Broad Church. 



ANGLIN, ang' glin, MARGARET (1876- ), 

 one of the most distinguished American 

 actresses, was born at Ottawa, Canada. Her 

 father, Timothy W. Anglin, a New Brunswick 

 journalist and politician, was one of the Lib- 

 eral leaders in the Dominion House of Com- 

 mons, and from 1874 to 1878 was its Speaker. 

 Margaret Anglin's first professional appear- 

 ance was in 1894 in Shenandoah, a melodrama 

 of the War of Secession. She made rapid 

 progress, and soon became leading lady for 

 such well-known actors as James O'Neil, Ed- 

 ward H. Sothern and Richard Mansfield. She 

 appeared as a star in Zira, in 1905, then in the 

 leading role in The Great Divide, The Awak- 

 ening of Helena Ritchie, Green Stockings and 

 Beverly's Balance. In later years she essayed 

 classic plays, including English versions of the 

 Antigone and Electra of Sophocles, and the 

 Medea and Iphigenia in Aulis of Euripides. 

 These she presented in the Greek Theater at 

 the .University of California, the last two for 

 the first time in 1915. She also played sev- 

 eral Shakesperean roles, including Katherine 

 in The Taming of the Shrew and Viola in 

 Twelfth Night. In 1911 Miss Anglin was 

 married to Howard Hull, a dramatic critic. 



Her brother, FRANCIS ALEXANDER ANGLIN 

 (1865- ), one of the foremost Canadian 

 lawyers and jurists, was born at Saint John, 

 New Brunswick. He was called to the bar in 

 1888, became judge of the Ontario High 

 Court in 1904 and judge of the Supreme Court 

 of Canada in 1909.
