Or/ the fame day it raind again^ and I intercepted the 
\YsLttr as before, and put it into the Glafs Tube, to fee 
whi/her there were any Air-bubbles, and whether they 
woald difappear Hkethe other, 
i obferved the Water feveral times, even after it had 
bpen four hours in the Tube, and in that time difcovcr'd 
but 2 or 3 Air-bubbles, and that was in a dry Particle from 
whence the Aii" feem'd to proceed. 
I had placed the fore-mentioned Tube perpendicularly, 
and another obliquely, but the laft I laid down almoft 
horizontally^ only the Orifice of it was raised a little high- 
er, that the Water might not run out of it, and that the 
Air-bubbles might keep their place in the uppermoft parts 
of the Glafs. After the fpace of ten hours I faw a great 
number of Air-bubbles that were for the moft part faftned 
to thefaid Atoms 5 and whereas we well know that no dry 
or other Particles that have Air included in them can ad- 
mit of Water till the Air be diflodged, this rule holds alfo 
in the Particles that are found in our Glafs Tube 5 but 
what (hall one fay? Some of the Air-bubbles were a hun- 
dred, others feveral hundred times bigger than the A- 
toms to which they were fixt. The next day in the morn- 
ing 1 could perceive but 4 very frnall Air-bubbles, and a 
few-hours after they were all gone. 
I viewed this Water till the 14th oi^l^ovemk but could 
Boc fee any living Creatures in it, and the next day I had 
the ill luck to break my Tube. 
A certain Fifherman brought me feme Eels that were no 
bigger than a large Pin, fome of which, that were of a 
darkifli colour, I obferved before feveral perfons ot Qaali.
