ROYAL INSTITUTION ,IN THE NETHERLANDS.
--The Brussels Royal Institution has offered a prize
of a gold medal, value five hundred florins, for the
best answer to each of the subjoined questiOns;--
" 1. Has chemistry, by the analysis and examination of the
elements of the products of nature, thrown any light on the essence
and properties of different classes of remedies, •and on the manner
in which they affect the solid and fluid. parts of the human body ;
and what are the advantages which the medical sciences have
thence derived ?
" 2. Is it true (as appears from the observations of the late N.
Brugmans, and as several naturalists have remarked) that, the roots of plants produce a matter, which in several species ii per-
nicious to other plants ; and ought not this phenomenon to he re-
garded as the principal reason why several sorts of plants will not
easily grow, either simultaneously or even successively, with other
aorta, in the game ground ' • and ought not regard to be had to this
circumstance in planting? What are the experiments and proofs
which sufficiently establish' thititypothesis, if it be well founded ?
And what is the explanation of the phenomena, if this hypothesis
ought to be rejected ?
" S. A clear, accuratf, and sufficiently detailed account of all
that belongs to the planting, grafting, growth, and general cul-
ture of the fruit trees which are the most important in the
,king-
dom of the Netherlands, and of the means of obtaining the best
species." ' • '

The answers, with -the .exception of those to the last
proposition (which must be in the language of the
country), may be written either in Flemish, French,
Latin, English, or German, and ought to be sent,
free of postage, to the; Perpetual Secretary of the
Filet Class of the Institution, before the Ist of March,

relative positions, and like
long vertical staples, which descend from the carriage near the
,wheels at each side of them, so as to enclose both of the axles
within them, the upper axle being moreover surrounded by sockets 1
that lie within the upper part of these long staples. • These
staples have diagonal pieces proceeding from their lever end. 'to the
bottom of the carriage, both before and behind, forming a frame-

and rafters of a roof.—The part of the lower axle on which the
friction wheels rest, is enclosed in two cylindrical cases that turn
on it, and which, besides making the friction more easy, keep the
lower axle from moving out of its place laterally, by occupying the
spare between the naves of its wheel* and the long staples.
