Experiment LVH. 



, Prom a cubick inch, or 3 1 8 grains of 

 Teafe, was generated 396 cubick inches of 

 Air or 113 grains, /. e. fomething more than 

 f of the weight of the Teafe. 



Nine days after this Air was made, I 

 lifted the inverted mouth of the receiver 

 which contained it, out of the water, and 

 put a lighted candle under it, upon which 

 it inftantly flamed : Then I immediately im- 

 mcrfed the mouth of the receiver in the wa- 

 ter, to extinguifh the flame. This I repeated 

 8 or 10 times, and it as often flafhed, af- 

 ter which it ceafed, all the fulphureous fpi- 

 rit being burnt. It was the fame with Air 

 of diftillcd Oyfterfhcll and Amber, and with 

 new diftillcd Air of Peafc and Bees- wax. I 

 found it the fame alio with another like 

 quantity of Air of Peafej notwithstanding I 

 warned that Air no lefs than eleven times, 

 by pouring it fo often under water, up- 

 wards.
