EXPERIMENT X.
June 18. 77.* 1.1TWO halves of an Orange being shut up in two Receivers with Screws, so much Air was added to the one, as sustain'd the Mer∣cury 90 Digits.
June 22. That in the common Air was mouldy: And at 3 a Clock Afternoon, the other had contract∣ed a Mucor.
June 23. That in the common Air was more mucid than the other.
June 24. That in the compress'd Air was all over mouldy.
June 28. That in the common Air had lost it's Moul∣diness: The other was unalter'd.
descriptionPage 89
June 30. Being taken out, that in the common Air was half rotten; the other, wholly putrify'd, and mucid.
From hence it appears, that as the Quantity of Air is greater, so is the Body contain'd more mucid. The Mouldiness in the compress'd, in∣creas'd more intensly, tho' it began not so soon.
