mouth of the Bottle ; and I really believe, had we ten 
or twenty Fathom of Water more, 'twould have fuo 
ceeded as well as our firft Tryal. I fend you not this 
as an Experiment altogether new to you, and (hall ih- 
fiffc no longer on it, but proceed to an uncommon Phce* 
mmenon I met with near this place. Going a-fhoar one 
day laft Week to breath a little Land Air, I walked about 
a Mile into the Country to fee a Well much talked of in 
thefe PartSjCalledL^-R^f^which made me more than a- 
mends for the pains I had taken to come at it. This 
Well is about fix Foot long, five Foot broad, and near 
fix Inches deep, which ebbs and flows very often every 
hour, vifibly enough ; for from high Water to low Wa- 
ter-mark, which I meafiired, I found it fomewhat more 
than five Inches. I could not fee any augmentation 
above my mark when it flowed, nor fell it below my 
mark when it ebb'd } but always kept the fame diftance. 
I obferved the Time as well as I could, but having no 
Minute- Watch nor Glafs, I could not meafure that Co 
exactly, but really judg'd the flux and reflux, taken both 
together, was performed in about two Minutes ; nothing 
could be more regular, each fucceeding the other as the 
Tides of the Sea do : The next time I go a-fhoar Fie 
have a Minute-Glafs, and be more exa&. I drank of 
it, and found it a pleafant, delicate, fine, foft Water, 
not brackifh at all, which the Country People ufe in Fe- 
vers as their ordinary Diet-drink, which fucceeds mighty 
well.
