IN connection with the celebration of the tercentenary of the birth of Evangelista Torricelli, an exhibition will be held at Faenza from August 15 to October 15. Included in the programme, and associated with an international section for physical apparatus, in celebration of Torricelli, a prize of 2000 lire is offered for an instrument in connection with meteorology or physics of the earth. The instrument must be exhibited, and show real novelty, either in its principle or in its application of a principle already known.
