EXPERIMENT VII.

A Soft Chymical Substance, which would smoak in the open Air, being conveigh'd into our Pneumatick Engin in a Viol, when the Air was exhausted, ceased to smoak; and by continuing there some time, would not smoak again, when it was re-expos'd to the Air, till the fresh Air had blown upon it some time. This Preparation, being kept in the Vessel it was prepar'd in six Weeks, would cease to smoak, when the Vessel was but cover'd with a piece of Paper; and another remarkable thing was, that when it was contain'd some time in a Receiver, close Luted, it would soon so glut the Air with it's Steams, as not to be able to smoak longer.
