PrefGng thefe Glaffes gently againft my Windows, that 
were covered with the fuppos'd Particleb o^ Sea wattr,^ 
my Glaffes were tinged with a few of the faid Panicles 
Thefe Glaffes, with the Water I had ihub colic* e i on 
them, I placed at about half a Foot di'>ancc trom the 
Candle, I view'd them by my MicrofcDpe, reck'mng, 
that by the warmth of the Candle and mv Face together, 
the Partic les of the faid Water would be put into fu.h a 
motion, that they would exhale f< r ihe moit part, and 
the Salts that were in cm would be expos d naked to 
the fight, and fo it happened^ for in a Utile time^ great 
many Salt Particles did, as it were, come out of the Wa-

fmall, becaufe the Water was little, from whence thofe 
fmall Particles proceeded 5 and where the Water had 
lain very thin upon the Glafi, there weie indeed a great 
number of Salt Particles, but fo exceeding fine, that they 
almoft efcaped the Sight thro a very good Microfcope. 
From whence I concluded, that thefe Glafs- windows 
could not be brought to their former luitre, but by wa(h- 
ing them with a great deal of Water 5 for it the Air were 
very clear, and the Westher dry , the watry Particles 
would toon exhale;» but the Salts would cleave faft to the 
Glafs, which faid Salts would be again diHolv'd in moift 
Weather, and fit like a Dew or Mift upon the Windows. 
And accordingly my People found it when they came 
to wa(h the afore-mentioned lower Windows of my Houfe 5 
bi3t as to the upper Windows where the Rain had beat 
againft them, there was little or no Sal i to be found flick- 
ing upon that Glafs. 
Now if we confider what a quanritv of Sea water is 
fpread all over the Country by fuch a terrible Storm, 
and confequently how^ grcacly impregnated the Air i,s with 
the fame 5 we ought not to wonder, that fucha quantity
