Experiment 6.

WE fill'd a Tube (though with much difficulty) such an one as is here described, with Quick∣silver, then invers'd it into Quicksilver, as before: The first effect was, It fell leisurably down out of the head H, and stood at D, 29. inches in perpendicular from the Quicksilver in the Vessel E.

The second effect was; Ayr being let in 'twixt C and B, the Quicksilver rose from D, its former Standard, to A: So that from A to B, and C to E (for so far as C it fell upon admission of Ayr) made up its won∣ted Standard again.
