Anahfts of the Ai 



The Candle cannot be lighted again in 

 this infected air by a burning glafs : But if 

 I firft lighted it, and then put it into the 

 fame infeded air, tho' it was extinguished 

 in f part of the time, that it wouid burn in 

 the fame vefTel, full of frefh air 5 yet it 

 would deftroy the elafticity of near as much 

 air in that fhort time, as it did in five times 

 that fpace of time in frefh air 5 this I re- 

 peated fevcral times, and found the fame 

 event: Hence a grofs air which is loaded 

 with vapours., is more apt in equal times to 

 loft its elafticity in greater quantities, than 

 a clear air. 



I obferve that where the velTelsare equal, 

 and the fize of the Candles unequal, the e- 

 lafticity of more air will be deitroyed by 

 the large than by the fmall Candle : And 

 where Candles are equal, there moft air in 

 proportion to the bulk of the vefTel will 

 be abforbed in the fmalleft vefTel: Tho* 

 with equal Candles there is always moft 

 claftick air deftroyed in the largeft vefTel, 

 where the Candle burns longed. 



I found alfb in fermenting liquors, that 

 catens paribus, more air was either gene- 

 rated or abforbed in large, than in fmall
