EXPERIMENT III.
June 20. 76.* 1.1 SOwre Cherries whole, being put into one Re∣ceiver, and others cut into another; The whole ones rais'd the Mercury in two hours, 10 Lines; the dissected ones, 20.
June 21. The whole ones rais'd the Mercury to 3 Inehes; the other Gage was spoil'd.
June 26. The whole ones rais'd the Mercury 15 Digits; The other Receiver was full of Air.
July 9. The Receiver being remov'd from it's Cover, I eat a Cherry, which was well tasted: The rest being included in Vacuo, and some of them broke, in an hour rais'd the Mercury 2 Digit.
July 10. The Mercury ascended not, because the Gage was spoil'd.

July 15. The Cover was sever'd from it's Receiver. Whence it appears, that dissected Fruits produce Air sooner than whole ones.
