traded Sap from returning the fame way, they would 
not think it fo ftrange an Appearance- 
The Microfcope, which I made ufeof to reprelent this 
laft Figure, does not magnify near fo much as that I 
made ufe of for the former. 
In all my Diffeclions of the Veflels I could not once 
difcover that any of the before mentioned Particles 
were joyned to thole Veflels, and therefore I imagined, 
or rather confidered, whether thofe long Particles might 
not be Coagulated Salts. 
After that I had fteeped a little piece of China Chin£ 
about 24 hours in Brandy, S obferved feveral final! Par- 
ticles thereof floating, but I could not difcover, that any 
of the long Particles were leffened or gone over to the 
Brandy. 
I did feveral times lay a drop of the Brandy (where- 
in the China Chins had been fteeped) upon the cleaneft 
Glafs I could get, in order, if poffible, to difcover whe- 
ther any of the Salts of the China Chins might be gone 
over to the Brandy 3 and every time I difcovered with 
great Amazement, that within the fpace of 12 Pulfes, 
the fluid matter, (whiah was otherwife very clear, fa- 
ving that it inclined to a Rnffet Colour) where it lay 
thinneft, was turned into a white Subftance, and foon 
after the fame happened to other drops that were thicker : 
And when I viewed this white Matter with my Micro- 
fcope, I difcovered an unconceivably vaft Number of 
ftnall Particles, infomuch that no Man would believe it 
unlefs he fav? them, and where thefe Particles lay thick- 
eft together, they appeared to be of a Ruffet Co- 
lour. 
I feveral times laid as much of it upon a clean Glafs, as 
would make the Quantity of a Grain of Sand, to fee if it 
were poffible the Figure of thofe Coagulating Particles, 
but they were fo unconceivably fmall, that they efcaped
