The apparatus ufed in this experiment was fuf- 
fered to remain in the fame fituation tillfummer, when 
the thermometer flood at 65°. The bulk of the air 
from fugar, not abforbed by the water, was then found 
to be 287 ; fo that the matter had remitted 235 parts 
of air. The bulk of the air from marble not abforbed, 
was 194; fo that 85 parts were remitted; which is 
therefore a proof, that water abforbs lefs fixed air in 
warm weather than cold. 
It appears from this experiment, that the air pro- 
duced from fugar by fermentation, as well as that 
difcharged from marble by folution in acids, confifts of 
fubftances of different nature : part being abforbed 
by water in greater quantity than the red. But, in
