EXPERIMENT II.
To try whether the Coldness which the for∣mer Mixture acquir'd, did not rather proceed from the Effect which the Water had on the saline Parts than on the Dispersion of those Sa∣line Parts through the Water; I immerg'd a Thermoscope in Water, which was so warm as to make the Spirit of Wine ascend; but the same Thermoscope being removed into Powder of Sal-Armoniac warm, it ascended much faster; yet the Weather-glass being conveyed into the Liquor again, and the Salt poured into it, it speedily began to subside, and sunk a Division and ¼ below the Mark it stood at in cold Wa∣ter, remaining at that Station a considerable time. And the same Experiment succeeded when tryed a second time.
