EXPERIMENT II.
May II. A Perfum'd Cone being enclos'd in a Re∣ceiver, and kind'ld in uncompress'd Air, being weigh'd when the Fumes were condens'd, it had lost a Grain.
Another being shut up with as much Air as ele∣vated the Mercury 90 Inches, lost 4 Grains more than the former. So that the more Air is con∣tain'd in the Receiver the greater is the Con∣sumption of the Matter burning in it.
