frdm it 5 but by taking up the Cover of the Cittern, it 
quickly goes out. The heat of this Fire much exceeds 
the beat of any Fire I ever faw, and feems to have 
more than ordinary fiercenefs with it. 
Some People out of Curiofity, after they have fet the 
Water on Fire, have put a Kettle of Water over the 
Cittern, -and in it Green Peas, or a Joint of Meat, and 
boykd it much fooner than over any artificial Fire that 
can be made. If you. put Green Boughs, or any thing 
elfe that will burn upon it, it prefentiy confumes them to 
Atties. The Water of itfelf is as cold as any Water I 
ever felt $ And what is remarkable, as foon as ever the Fire 
is out, if you put your Hands into it, it feels as cold as 
if there had been no fuch thing as Fire near it. It ttilt 
continues boyling up with a confiderable Noife $ and is 
vifited by almott all that bear of it 5 and is look’d upon 
to be as great a rarity as the World affords.
