The problem of power decentralization is up to date in a modern political science. We can trace its historical genesis first in European and further in the USA political ideas. Decentralization of power was considered along with the study of a perfect state system, civil society and local self-government. It is argued that the major part of successful process of power decentralization in the Western Europe was due to the idea nature for their political culture. The article attempts to retrace the history of the idea of power decentralization. As a background of the investigations of such thinkers as J. Bodin, J. Althusius, J. Locke, J.-J. Rousseau, C.-L. Montesquieu, R. Owen, C. Fourier, J. S.Mill, T. Jefferson, A. de Tocqueville and M. Dragomanov were thoroughly investigated. The paper also considers the modern definitions of power decentralization. Likewise the value of structural functionalism, symbolic interactionism and constructivism are argued in terms of further surveys of power decentralization. To conclude, the author opines that civil servants training, their theoretical teaching and moral education have to become the main objectives in perspective investigations. Furthermore, the success of power decentralization depends not only on devoting authority by central government, but also on capacity of its implementation by deputies on the local level. Keywords: Decentralization of power, deconcentration of power, administrative and political decentralization, classical and non-classical philosophy, structural functionalism, symbolic interactionism, construc-tivism

A “messiah,” as the term is used here, is taken to mean a person believing himself to be divinely called, as a result of a dream or a series of visions, to lead a group of people from some catastrophic set of conditions into a more perfect state of affairs. “Messianism” is a term used in a variety of ways but usually to characterize a religious movement led by a messiah. Sertão is a Portuguese word meaning simply “hinterland” or interior and is usually taken to refer to a region in Brazil known as the polígona das sêcas (drought polygon) which extends over an area of the states of Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte, Sergipe, Alagoas, and Bahia subject to periodic and unpredictable droughts.


The author, after referring to those authorities by which he had been misled into the supposition that the colour of the blood depended on the presence of iron, until he had tried how slight effect it produced by infusion of galls, proceeds to a series of experiments which he has made upon chyle and on lymph, for the purpose of comparing their composition with that of bloody the examination of which is divided into three sections, in which he treats separately of the serum, the coagulum, and the colouring matter. The chyle employed in these analyses was collected by Mr. Brande while assisting Mr. Home and Mr. Brodie in their experiments on different animals; attention being always paid to the interval that had elapsed since the last meal; upon which circumstance its qualities were found to depend more than upon the animal from which it was taken. About four hours after a meal, the chyle is supposed to be in its most perfect state, and is then uniformly white, like milk. At longer periods it becomes more dilute, like milk and water, till at length, when an animal has fasted twenty-four hours, the fluid contained in the thoracic duct is reduced to the state of mere lymph.

Magnaporthe grisea is proposed as a comb.nov. for Ceratosphaeria grisea Hébert, the perfect state of Pyricularia grisea (Cke.) Sacc. Pyricularia grisea is very close morphologically to P. oryzae Cav., well known as the causal agent of blast disease on rice. Magnaporthe was recently established in the Diaporthales to accommodate a single species, M. salvinii (Catt.) Krause & Webster, which was described as the cause of stem rot of rice with conidial state known as Nakataea sigmoidea Hara. Based on a review of the taxonomic characters of Ceratosphaeria grisea, the desirability is discussed of its inclusion in the genus Magnaporthe.

The author remarks that the existence of Annelida during the Palæozoic formations is manifested in two conditions. In the one, we have the shelly envelope which invests the order Tubicola, in the form of Seapolites; and in the other, the tracks of the orders Abranchia and Dorsi-branchiata are found impressed on deposits which were, at one time, in a sufficiently soft state to receive the impressions of the wanderings of these animals.Among the strata which have hitherto afforded annelid tracks, those which, in the county of Clare, represent a portion of the equivalents of the Millstone Grit, contain such tracks, in their most perfect state of preservation in great abundance; and these strata also furnish evidence concerning the circumstances which prevailed during their deposition.
