A ntw way of railing Water ; by Dr. Papln^ Fel- 
low the Royal Society. 
HAving feen it pradlifed feverall times, that after 
the Difcoveryoffome new Problem, the Inventor 
propounds it as a Riddle, to ftir up thofe that are in- 
genious in the fame kind of learning, and make them 
find fometimcs better things then what is propounded s 
I have thought I might do the fame, with a way for TaiJ-- 
ing watery whichi thinkfurely tobenew, fince it is not 
uled in confiderable occafions where it might be of great 
advantage. 
^ A. Is a great Glafs made like a Tumbler, but much 
bigger, and laid upon the Chimney board B B. 
C C. Is th^ Engine like a fmall Rock, that doth con- 
ftantly fpout out water by the two holes DDt this 
Rock is kept at a diftance from the bottom of the Glafs 
yiA: fo that it may plainly be feen that it cannot re- 
ceive any water by fubterranealTubes. 
EE. Is a fadiitious Corall reaching from the Center 
of the Rock CC. to the Center of the Crown F F. 
FF. Is a Crown bearing upon the Aperture of the 
Glafs A A. and holding the Rock CC lufpended at a 
confiderable diftance from the bottom. 
'y G G. AGlafsopenatbothends apply ed to the Rock 
CC to keep the water upon it from falling down. 
HH. Two (hells to receive the water from the Jetto s. 
I would have brought this Engine hither, but it is la 
apt to be fpoiled, by carrying to and fro, that I hope 
the 7^. S. will pardon me, if I keep it at my lodgings 
where it may be feen at any time : and if they be pleafed 
' to appoint feme that may come, and releafe one ano- 
ther, to watch it a whole day, and fee whether it will 
not runconftantly, nor loole any thing of its ftrength '
