es, or from amongst persons who do not belong to the

tablished rules are observed, -and to explain these rules
to the juries, when necessary.

liberations of the jury, further than to bring before them
facts, remind them of rules, and present the complaints
of exhibitors.

Art. 76.
The nature of the rewards to be distributed, and the
general principles to be adopted as the basis of such
rewards, will be at a later period determined by a
decree based on the recommendations of the Imperial
Commission.

Art. 77.
However, independently of the honorary distinctions
which may be granted, the Council of presidents and
vice-presidents will have the power of recommending to
the Emperor such exhibitors as they may think deserv-
ing of special marks of public gratitude, on account of
extraordinary services rendered to civilization, huma-
nity, sciences, and the arts; or of encouragements of a
different kind for considerable sacrifices incurred with a
view to general utility, due attention being always paid
to the position of the inventors or producers-
