Carl (or Karl) Wilhelm Scheele, (December 9,1742 - May 21, 1786) a Swedish chemist, born in Stralsund, Pomerania, Germany, was the discoverer of many chemical substances, most notably discovering oxygen before Joseph Priestley.Scheele worked as a pharmacist in Stockholm, from 1770 to 1775 in Uppsala, and later in Köping. His studies led him to the discovery of oxygen and nitrogen in 1772-1773, which he published in his only book, Chemische Abhandlung von der Luft und dem Feuer (Chemical Treatise on Air and Fire) in 1777, losing some fame to Joseph Priestley, who independently discovered oxygen in 1774.
Scheele also discovered other chemical elements such as barium (1774), chlorine (1774), manganese (1774), molybdenum (1778), and tungsten (1781), as well as several chemical compounds, including citric acid, glycerol, hydrogen cyanide (also known as prussic acid), hydrogen fluoride, and hydrogen sulphide. In addition, he discovered a process similar to pasteurization.
Like many other chemists of his time, Scheele often worked under difficult and even dangerous conditions, which might explain his early death.

August 5, 1860 in NorwayRoyal motto "Land skall med lag byggas"
("Land is built by law")Queen Louise of Orange-Nassau Royal House Bernadotte Predecessor Oscar I of Sweden and Norway Successor Oscar II of Sweden and Norway Date of Birth May 3, 1826 Place of Birth Royal Palace in Stockholm Date of Death September 18, 1872 Place of Death Malmö Place of Burial Riddarholmskyrkan, Stockholm Charles XV, Karl XV or Carl IV (1826-1872), king of Sweden and Norway, eldest son of Oscar I, king of Sweden and Norway, and Josephine of Leuchtenberg, was born on May 3, 1826. In Norway he is known as King Carl IV of Norway. On the June 19, 1851 he married Louise of Orange-Nassau, daughter of Prince Frederick of the Netherlands.
Reign
He became regent on September 25, 1857, and king on the death of his father July 8, 1859. As crown prince, Charles's brusque and downright manners had led many to regard his future accession with some apprehension, yet he proved to be one of the most popular of Scandinavian kings and a constitutional ruler in the best sense of the word. His reign was remarkable for its manifold and far-reaching reforms. Sweden’s existing communal law (1862), ecclesiastical law (1863) and criminal law (1864) were enacted appropriately enough under the direction. of a king whose motto was: "Land skall med lag byggas" - Land shall be built upon laws. Charles also materially assisted Louis de Geer to carry through his memorable reform of the Riksdag in 1866. Charles was a warm advocate of Scandinavianism and the political solidarity of the three northern kingdoms, and his warm friendship for Frederick VII of Denmark, it is said, led him to give half promises of help to Denmark on the eve of the war of 1864, which, in the circumstances, were perhaps misleading and unjustifiable. In view, however, of the unpreparedness of the Swedish army and the difficulties of the situation, Charles was forced to observe a strict neutrality. He died at Malmö on September 18, 1872. Charles XV was highly gifted in many directions. He attained to some eminence as a painter, and his "Dikter" show him to have been a true poet. He was followed on the throne by his brother Oscar II.

J. C. Jacobsen (1811-1887) was a Danish industrialist and philanthropist.He had no formal academic or scientific training (although he had attended some lectures by Hans Christian Ørsted). In the 1840s he had come to realise that production of beer, which had until then been done in numerous small breweries, now had to be based on scientific methods and to be industrialised.
Starting in 1844, he established his brewery Carlsberg (named after his son, Carl), on the outskirts of Copenhagen, on a site where it has remained since.
Jacobsen's extensive personal art collection is now housed in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen.
