The results of the experiment are more variable than constant. 
The temperature dropped +0° F. daring the first opening of the 
doors, and 28° more after the doors wore closed, duo no doubt to the 
heat required to bring the frame and figs up to the temperature of the 
oven. During the second opening of the oven the temperature 
dropped 36°, and rose immediately, as no more figs were introduced, 
hence no heat absorbed, after the doors were closed. From the mini- 
mum heat, 202° F., to the maximum heat, 233.5° F.. the temperature 
of the loaded oven rose 31.5° in S minutes. The temperature of the 
empty oven rose 85.5° in the same Length of time, or from 197.5° to 
283° F.
