Air, and placed it before my fight, I perceived the Par- 
ticles moving amongft each other 3 they were alfo in vaft 
Nnmbers, and the Moifture being dryed up, they aflu- 
med a White Colour. 
Afterwards I infufed fome of this Bark in a well tail- 
ed Florence Wine, in which after it had lain about 24 
Hours, I took a drop of the laid Wine, and put it upon 
a clean Glafs, and obferved therein likevvife abundanceof 
Coagulated fmall Particles, but nothing near fo numerous 
as thofe that appeared in the Brandy 3 I could alfo per- 
ceive fome Salt Particles in the faid Wine, but when ! 
put in fome more of the China China, the Coagulating 
Particles increafed, but none of the Salts which are pe- 
culiar to the Wine did then Coagulate. 
I infufed again a little of the Bark in Rain Water, 
and after a little time poured fome of it upon a clean 
Glafs, in order to its evaporating, and then obferved, 
that a great part of it was turn’d into a Scum, but there 
was nothing snore remarkble in it. 
Moreover I took a ftrong Pickle, and put fome of it in- 
to a Glafs Tube of the thicknefi of a fmall Birds Quill, and 
conveyed into the Middle of that Pickle, in three di- 
ftinft places, a little of the Brandy in which the China 
China had lain three or four days 3 and I obferved, that 
the Brandy would not mingle with the Pickle, but im- 
mediately coagulated like Clouds, which Cloudy Mat- 
ter, as being lighter than the Pickle, rife up to the up- 
per parts of the Glafs 3 and tho this Coagulated Brandy, 
in which the China China was infufed, had been ten days 
in the Pickle, yet was it not diflolved $ and whereas 
the Coagulated parts,by reafon of their lightnefs, had at 
fir ft emerged, they did afterwards fink down gradually 
to the bottom, and tho’ by lhaking I moved them up- 
wards, yet when the Glafs flood ftill they wou’d pre- 
fently fubfide.
