EXPERIMENT I. and II.
* 1.1To try whether the concave Surface of Fluids, contained in a Pipe, was wholly to be attri∣buted to the Pressure of the Contiguous Air, I poured Dephlegmed Spirit of Wine upon a strong Alkalizate Menstrum, which was made of fixed Nitre run per deliquium in a moist Cel∣ler, and contained in a Cylinder of Glass of a∣bout a quarter of an Inch Diameter; I found that the Menstrum changed it's concave for a horizontal Superficies; and the like succeeded in a Glass of a much greater Diameter. And that Superficial Cavity was likewise almost destroyed by pouring on Oyl of Turpentine instead of Spi∣rit of Wine.
