EXPERIMENT IV.
July 12. I Shut up 10 Ounces of Raisins of the Sun bruis'd,* 1.1 in as much Water as was sufficient to make them ferment.
July 14. In 48 Hours rais'd the Mercury ten Inches; at Night the Mercury was 5 Inches higher; the next Day it was almost as high as when buoy'd up by the Atmosphere.

July 16. In the Morning the Receiver and it's Cover were separated by Air, which got through the Water which the Receiver was cover'd with. The same Raisins were shut up in Vacuo again.
July 18. In the Morning the Air broke out.
July 19. They were enclosed in the empty Recei∣ver.
July 21. The Receiver was so full of Air, that some of it forced it's way out; and they were inclo∣sed in the exhausted Receiver again.
July 22. The Receiver was almost full: The 23d in the Morning it forced it self out. When the Parts of the Water have work'd upon Grapes 5 or 6 days, they yield. Air very fast, tho' at the first they do not.
