The Vines to which the tubes in this Ex- 
periment were fixed, were 20 feet high from 
the roots to their top ; and the glafs tubes 
fixed at feveral heights b from the ground, 
from 6 to 2 feet. 
The fap would rife in the tube the firft 
day, according to the different vigour of the 
bleeding ftate of the Vine, either 1, 2, 5, 
12, 15, or 25 feet; but when it had got to 
its greateft height for that day, if it was in 
the morning, it would conftantly begin to 
fubfide towards noon. 
If the weather was very cool about the 
middle of the day, it would fubfide only 
from 11 or 12 to 2 in the afternoons but 
if it were very hot weather, the fap would 
begin to fubfide at 9 or 10 a clock, and 
continue fubfiding till 4, 5, or 6 in the even- 
ing, and from that time it would continue 
ftationary for an hour or twos after which 
it would begin to rife a little, but not 
much in the night, nor till after the fun 
was up in the morning, at which time it 
rofe fafteft. 
The frefher the cut of the Vine was, and 
the warmer the weather, the more the fap 
would rife, and fubfide in a day, as 4 or 6 
feet.
