rations of Sounds upon diftant, and folid bodys. One of 
the moft remarkable of which is the effcd: of an Inftru- 
mcnt though fmall, by which an Engineer could fink ^ 
Ships in a few Minutes,- the esplofion being fo great as 
to caufe a kind of Storm in the water round about, and 
rudely lhake Vcflels that lay at no inconfiderable dif- 
tance. He obferves again that men undervalue the mo* 
tioBS of bodys too fmall to be fenfible , though the nu- 
meroufnefs enables them to a6t in iwarms; yet how lit- 
tle reafon they have for it,he evinces by the operation of 
the wind in autumn the diffolution of Sugar in that

&c. to which effe£ts of local motion 'its propagable na - 
ture, even through differing medium's, and folid bodys 
does not a little conduce* For though it be true that 
fluid bodys do eafily yield to folid ones that impel them, 
and thereby oftentimes quickly dead the motion of thofe ^ 
folids yet the motion being loft only in regard of the 
folid body, is tranfmitted and diffufed in reference to 
the fluid. 
The modification of the invifible motion of fluids, as 
to what they may perform on thedifpofed bodysof A-
