[March I, 



dented by a series of squares, like some former bulk, or about 1 part in 212,766 ; 



crystals of common salt. 



Professor Ohested lias of late resumed 

 in Denmark the conrSe of experiments 

 which some years ago he began, for ascer- 

 taining whether water be compressible? 

 and according to what law? And has 

 commnnicated his experiments to the 

 Royal Society of Copenhagen : the results 

 of which are, that a pressure, equal to one 

 mean atmosphere, compresses water about 

 47 parts out of one million parts of its 



these being almost exactly the same re- 

 sults as Messrs. Canton and Perkins had 

 arrived at by very different methods. M. 

 Orested has further and satisfactorily 

 proved (as~ far, at least, as five atmos- 

 pheres,) that the compression of water is 

 in direct proportion to the compressing 

 power; and, furthermore, that not the 

 least heat is developed by compressini? 

 water to the degree of five atmospheres, or 

 probably to any greater degree.
