as it were attraded, for as they came near them, the fore- 
mofthadas quick a motion, as if it were forceably im- 
pelled, till it united with them, making them more and 
more irregular 5 of fuch Salt particles, there lay 5*0 toge- 
ther, and as many more by themfelves, being all made 
out oi one drop of water. 
From thefe obfervations T gather, that the aforefaid 
particles, were common Salt difperled in the water, 
whidti could not be feen, till they united together, as the 
water was warm. 
After anhour andhalfs time/I intended to view thefe 
Salts again ; which I judged to be common Salt, but (tho' 
it were no rainy weather) 1 found them turned iilto fair 
water; I fetthen the drop of water again before me^ 
and after about a quarter of an hours time, Ifaw not 
only a great many of the aforefaid Salt particles, but as 
they grew dry, a great many other very fmall particles 
lying. round them, of a brown colour, appearing to the 
Ey like blackifli, or m^sk coloured Sand ^ thefe 1 had no 
fooner removed mto the open ^/r, (tho' the^e were no 
warmth come to them) but they prefentty difappeared, in 
lefs then y'- (^.f a minute, leaving neither water, nor any 
thing elle in their place. 1 ikewife the Salt particles^ 
when they were little, wereclear as Chryftall, but as they 
grew b g, they feemd to be bcfet with musk- 
coloured parts, for they appeared brown, chiefly when 
the water was all evaporated. 1 then held the Salts be- 
fore my mouth, and breathed upon them leverall timeSj,. 
whichchanged them into a clear Chryftallin water; and 
by this means I had the plealure, to fee not only the Salts,,. 
but the musk-coloured parts, often come and go. Thefe- 
particles were many, and lay thick near theSalts, but; 
further off thianer, and uponone breathing upon them, 
v.aniflied away.
