II. On the questions relative to the cultivation and fertilization of sand-downs, &c. to unsatisfactory dissertations had been sent in. These questions are not again proposed for discussion, but II. The three remaining questions, which have not been answered, are again proposed. 1. "How far does our knowledge of the motion of the sap in trees and plants extend? By what means may we attain a more perfect knowledge of what is still obscure and doubtful respecting this subject and may we not, from what is already ascertained, by decisive experiments, draw useful results for improving the culture of trees and plants?" 2. As the being exposed to smoke may, probably, be prevented by a more careful attention to the physical causes that repel the smoke down the chimnies, except, perhaps, where the chimnies are composed to repelling winds;-the society desires 1. "A theory, or a clear and concise physical explanation of the physical causes that repel the smoke down the chimnies, or oppose its ascension. 2. Rules, derived from the theory, according to which chimnies ought to be constructed; with directions to what, according to different circumstances, we ought particularly to attend, to prevent their smoking. IV. "What indigenous plants, not hitherto employed for the pur. pose of making colours, may, from experiments, be proved to yield good colours? and what foreign plants might be advantageously cultivated on the less fertile and cultivate lands of the Batavian republic, for the purpose of extracting colours therefrom? The answers to these questions are expected to be received before the 1st of No. vember, 1801. PUBLIC AMUSEMENTS.
