(Driver). It is noteworthy that Kenan,
son of Enosh ("man," Gen. v. 9), appears in Sabaean inscriptions of South
Arabia as the name of a tribal-god.

A Gnostic sect of the 2nd century was known by the name of Cainites. They
are first mentioned by Irenaeus, who connects them with the Valentinians.
They believed that Cain derived his existence from the superior power, and
Abel from the inferior power, and that in this respect he was the first of
a line which included Esau, Korah, the Sodomites and Judas Iscariot.

CAINE, THOMAS HENRY HALL (1853- ), British novelist and dramatist, was born
of mixed Manx and Cumberland parentage at Runcorn, Cheshire, on the 14th of
May 1853. He was educated with a view to becoming an architect, but turned
to journalism, becoming a leader-writer on the _Liverpool Mercury_. He came
up to London at the suggestion of D.G. Rossetti, with whom he had had some
correspondence, and lived with the poet for some time before his death. He
published a volume of _Recollections of Rossetti_ (1882), and also some
critical work; but in 1885 he began an extremely successful career as a
novelist of a melodramatic type with _The Shadow of a Crime_, followed by
_The Son of Hagar_ (1886), _The Deemster_ (1887), _The Bondman_ (1890),
_The Scapegoat_ (1891), _The Manxman_ (1894), _The Christian_ (1897), _The
Eternal City_ (1901), and _The Prodigal Son_ (1904). His writings on Manx
subjects were acknowledged by his election in 1901 to represent Ramsey in
the House of Keys. _The Deemster_, _The Manxman_ and _The Christian_ had
already been produced in dramatic form, when _The Eternal City_ was staged
with magnificent accessories by Mr Beerbohm Tree in 1902, and in 1905 _The
Prodigal Son_ had a successful run at Drury Lane.

novelist's autobiography, _My Story_ (1908).

CA'ING WHALE (_Globicephalus melas_), a large representative of the dolphin
tribe frequenting the coasts of Europe, the Atlantic coast of North
America, the Cape and New Zealand. From its nearly uniform black colour it
is also called the "black-fish." Its maximum length is about 20 ft. These
cetaceans are gregarious and inoffensive in disposition and feed chiefly on
cuttle-fish. Their sociable character constantly leads to their
destruction, as when attacked they instinctively rush together, and blindly
follow the leaders of the herd, whence the names pilot-whale
