In 1834 M. Fourneyron received the prize of 6,000 francs offered by the Society for the Encourage-ment of the Arts at Paris, for the construction of the best horizontal wheel on the large scale. Thiswas his first turbine erected at Pont, on the Oguon. In consequence of this decision the turbine excitedgreat attention and discussion among the continental savans ; and it must be remarked, that matters ofpractical utility are more subjects of interest among scientific men, especially in France, than elsewhere,where every thing of a technical character is considered to belong exclusively to the workshop. 3814.
