EXPERIMENT II.
May 22. TUlips and Larks-spurs being shut up in two Receivers, and as much Air com∣press'd in One as sustain'd 60 Inches of Mer∣cury 15 Days ago.
In five days some of the Tulips in the Com∣mon Air that were cut, seem'd Mouldy. To day the other part seem'd Mouldy.
The Flowers seem'd as fresh as when first put in; but those in Compress'd Air were more moist.
June 22. No more Mouldy: This Experiment com∣par'd with the same made the Year before, con∣firms the Inference drawn from the forego∣ing.
