EX PER- XXIV. 



WE thought it not amifs to try, 

 whether when Sal Armoni- 

 ac, that much infrigidates water, and 

 Quick-lime, which is known to heat 

 it* were by the fire exquifitely min- 

 gled, the mixture would impart to 

 the liquor a moderate or an intenfe 

 degree of either of thofe Qualities. 

 In profecution of which Inquiry we 

 took equal parts of Sal Armoniac 

 and Quick-lime , which we fluxed 

 together, and putting an ounce, by 

 ghefs, of the powder'd mixture into 

 a Vial with a convenient quantity of 

 cold water, we found, that the colli- 

 quated mafs did, in about a minute, 

 ftrike fo great a heat through the 

 Glafs upon my hand, that I was glad 

 to remove it haftily for fear of being 

 fcorched.
