and by, as I expefted , they bled apace , without being 
fenfibly the warmer* 
The Experiment repeated afforded me divers Thoenome" 
na^ which follow 5 and proved ^/^^ an Univerfal way of 
Bleeding all forts ofTrees^ even tho(e5which ofthemfelves 
would not (hew any fignes of moifture* 
1. Poles of Maple^ Sycamore and Walnut, cut down in 
open weaiherj and brought within the warmth of the Fire, 
did bleed inan inftant. Alfo^Fz/W, Ha%el, Cherry^ Wood* 
bind y Blather- mt^ Vine ^ Elder ^ Barbery^ Apple tree ^ Ivy ^^c: 
Whichjng and Egge- berry Tree ( uc.PadHs TheophraJIi)trhd 
in the fame manner in Craven^ 
2. Briar and Kasberry-rodt were more obftinate. Ajb 
utterly refufed , even heated hot. 
3. BrancheSj that is^Poles with their tops entire and un* 
cut 5 bleed alfo when brought to the Fire fide j but (eem 
not fo freely to drink up their Sap again when inverted, as 
^ when made Poleg* 
4. The fame Willow^Voks^lth all night in the grafs-fpotj 
and return d the next day to the Fire-fide, bleed afrefh. 
f . Maple and Willow Poles bleed and ceafe at pleafure a- 
gain and again 3 if quickly withdrawn and balanced 
in the hand^ and often inverted to hinder the Falling and 
Expence of Sip : Yet being often heated, they will at 
length quite ceafe , though no Sap was at any time fenfibly 
loft. And when they have given over bleeding 5 that 
fliewiog any moifture^by being brought within the warmth 
of the Fire,the Bark will yet be found very full of Juyce^ 
6* An hard Ligature made within a quarter of an inch of 
theend ola Wood bind rod, did not hinder its bleeding at 
all when brought within the warmth of the Fire* 
7. Maple and Willow*'? oles^ &c. quite bared of Bar^^ and 
brought to the Fire^will Ihew no moifture at all in any part. 
8. One Barbery 5 or Pipridge^pole bared of its Bark ^ 
brought to the Fire 3 did fliew moifture from within the 
more inward Circlesjthough not any from the outward. 
Maple and Wilhw-poles^ &c, ^^^bar'd ofBark.woud
